That was Kaki Hockersmith, a high priced Little Rock decorator friend of the Clintons. Looked like she decorated the WH out of Wal Mart's sale shelves. Kaki's red room was so embarrassing, you cannot find a sample on the net.
Bill loved it b/c she basically made the place look like what he was using it for----a bordello.
THIS WAS THE WH RELEASE Among the donations to the National Park Service was $74,607 contributed by the Clinton/Gore Transition Foundation in payments to Kaki Hockersmith of Little Rock, Arkansas, for her services as the design consultant for the White House restoration project. (The Transition Foundation is privately funded.) Ms. Hockersmith devoted a significant amount of personal time to the project, essentially closing her small business and dedicating nearly an entire year to the White House refurbishment.
Ms. Hockersmith also donated draperies of her design which now hang in the Lincoln Sitting Room. (Lists of those who contributed to the White House Historical Association and the National Park Service are attached. A list of members of the White House Historical Association is also attached.)

The overseas trips, the wardrobe, the Oval makeover.....a prelude to Michele transforming herself into a black Jackie (before Mrs O bombed in Spain).
JACKIE'S WH BEDROOM. Her TV tour of the WH cemented Jackie's elegant image among Americans.

Now instead of a TV tour of the WH, Michele is concentrating on showcasing American Dance.
