The Huffington Post has a photo-illustrated article about the visit today by Michelle Antoinette Obama to Ronda, Spain, headlined: Michelle Obama Does Midday Shoe Change in Ronda (PHOTOS).
The photos used for the Huffington Post article can't be used at FR as they are from Getty Images, however, other wire photos (with less detail) are available for posting.
In the meantime, here are the lyrics to Michelle Obama's theme song, Pearls, by Sade:
there is a woman in somalia
scraping for pearls on the roadside
there`s a force stronger than nature
keeps her will alive
this is how she`s dying
she`s dying to survive
don`t know what she`s made of
i would like to be that brave
she cries to the heaven above
there is a stone in my heart
she lives a life she didn`t choose
and it hurts like brand-new shoes
hurts like brand-new shoes
there is a woman in somalia
the sun gives her no mercy
the same sky we lay under
burns her to the bone
long as afternoon shadows
it`s gonna take her to get home
each grain carefully wrapped up
pearls for her little girl
hallelujah
hallelujah
she cries to the heaven above
there is a stone in my heart
she lives in a world she didn`t choose
and it hurts like brand-new shoes
hurts like brand-new shoes

she forgot to remove the bib
In Southern Spain you neven know when you might run into a street vendor with good bushmeat, jes bein prepared.
I will probably rot in the hot place (but, hey, I’m already in the hot place - 105 forecast for Dallas today), but Miz Obama is a big, ugly woman.
Maybe that should be:
“I feel yo pain.”
I betcha those mugly sneakers cost more than the shoes!
We should be greatful that it wasn’t her time of the month. We’d get more information than we needed to hear.
Is the person who had to carry her extra shoes on our payroll or one of her closest 60 friends?
You are correct that women often carry a change of shoes - but those women are wearing heels and change to flats or a more comfortable pair for the commute. they also carry their own shoes - The Wookie went from comfortable flats to sneakers, carried by someone else
Re: Photo in #23.
Michelle is spending $10,000 per hour with the jet set and she’s still miserable. Just look at her face.
It must be awful to be her.
During the campaign I speculated that she had a shoe
contract because she was always wearing Nike logo stuff
If you think about it, the larger the billboard the more people see the logo, so her feet would be a good investment
Come on folks...there really is nothing wrong with what she is wearing. And, I must add, that even though the blouse is not a great pick, it is not bad. I see these types of tops all over in the stores and many women are wearing them. In fact, this is the best I have seen her dressed when she is being "casual." The pants are not too tight, her arms are covered, and she is not wearing a boob belt (finally she has shed that). If you really look at her, she really is not dressed out of line for any woman on a vacation or relaxing, including the wife of a president.
I just cannot fault her at all this time for this look, and certainly this outfit is not like her typically vulgar or cheap looking ones. Maybe someone finally advised her correctly and she listened.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess that shows she can at least tie her shoes.
SO tell the Huffington post to take the article down if you think it’s petty.
LOL!!!! No, they would rather spend 5 minutes posting and b*tching.
Nike? Those are for the serfs. Miss Imsofabulous wouldn’t wear Nike’s now. Movin’ on up gal wears Jimmy Choo, Lanvin etc. If they are under 600.00, they are peasant shoes, can’t have the queen wearing those. That South side Chicago wookie is way too good for Nike’s now. She is so into herself it’s pathetic. I think she wanted to go alone because she didn’t want to share the limelight.... or he wanted time with his boys or she has some messages to pass along from him. Wonder who else is in that hotel this week.
How weird.
