I don't know about you, but when I paint fixtures with a sloppy broad brush, I make sure to wear my finest, most expensive designer shirts. Just like Michelle Obama.
Below are photos of Michelle "Antoinette" Obama wearing a $207.90 t-shirt by Tom Binns and John Eshaya at a National Day of Service and Remembrance event at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. on Saturday.
I suppose if she got paint on it she can claim it as a charitable deduction. The rich are just different from us.

A woman lucky enough to have a job in the Obama economy would have to work nearly 30 hours at the federal minimum wage to be able to afford one of Michelle Obama's throwaway designer painting shirts.

H/T maggief.
Actually, I love Chewbacca. Needless to say I don’t love Manchelle. :)
EXACTLY! What is the big deal, people? She didn't actually paint in that shirt, so much as she posed for a picture in it holding a paintbrush dipped in paint while standing on a ladder! Guarantee you she did no painting.
My T-Shirts are endorsed by Michael Jordan. Are hers?
Obama co-opting the 9/11 gets me so crazy I can't see straight.
What does painting a pipe have to do with remembering those lost on that horrible day?
Just figures Michelle would get all dressed up for the cameras to make the day about her.
At least that ugly shirt has sleeves! No one is talking about her toned arms anymore.
President Barack Obama is asking the country to observe the Sept. 11 anniversary as a day of “service and remembrance.” He says Americans should find a way to serve their fellow citizens and rekindle the spirit of unity and common purpose felt in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks.
Obama spoke at a White House news conference Friday, a day ahead of the ninth anniversary of the attacks.
He said Saturday will be a day to commemorate not only heartbreak, but also the “enduring values and resilient spirit” of America.

He makes me want to PUKE!
September 11th, 2010 .Michelle Obama Faves Jason Wu & Peter Som Present Their Spring 2011 Collections At New York Fashion Week!

For Michelle Obama fave Jason, our hands down favorite of the day, is was all about simple and clean tailoring as well as a lot of sheer blouses and dresses! We would love to see Michelle in the beautifully colored finale dresses worn by Ginta Lapina and Karlie Kloss, but we think the First Lady may be a bit too modest for see-thru evening wear!
Peter, another go to of Michelle’s, showed a brightly colored collection of super short looks perfect for any tropical vacation! However amazing this collection was however, it is not looking like Michelle will find herself in any of these micro minis or the incredibly stacked wedges Peter showed! It was great however to see a designer show such a vibrant collection in comparison to all the neutrals and nudes we are seeing this season.

Was she wearing her ugly $400 pink sneakers?
See through evening wear? On the First Lady? Wouldn’t that be special...
Separate 9/11 and volunteer photo ops, and today he plays bball with Reggie Love.
MO is tired of playing second fiddle, IMO, perhaps in more ways than one.
I’ve seen nicer shirts at truck stops.
Are you kidding me? I'd make book that Zero rakes it in from the Middle East, starting in Feb. 2013.

Michelle Obama marks day of service
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/09/11/art.flotus.jpg
Mrs. Obama was joined by Marie Tillman, widow of former NFL star-turned soldier Pat Tillman, students from George Washington University, and senior volunteers to help paint Vinson Hall in McLean, Virginia.
The First Lady greeted volunteers and posed for photos but then got to work painting a loading dock along-side several students. She spent about 15 minutes putting a coat of white paint on a wall and then meticulously painting a pipe with bright orange paint. After the painting was finished, she sat with some of the seniors from the community and chatted about topics from painting to the weather and even issuing an invitation to come see the Rose Garden at the White House.
Earlier in the day, Mrs. Obama was joined by former First Lady Laura Bush as the keynote speakers at a ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed nine years ago.

Doing her part to serve, Obama grabbed a paint roller and began coating a brick wall of the loading dock with broad strokes of white paint. She chatted with another volunteer, unconcerned with the paint splattering white flecks on her black slacks and purple sneakers. She then moved on to paint pipes bright orange to make them more visible.
The first lady reluctantly relinquished her paint brush after speaking with several volunteers. Before heading out, she moved to a shaded area under a pine tree to chat with some of the community’s residents, including Navy veterans of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway.
In a statement issued yesterday, the first lady said the spirit of selflessness and service in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy is what inspired the first National Day of Service and Remembrance last year.
“On this day all Americans can honor the brave men and women who lost and risked their lives by serving others in their community,” she wrote in the statement. “On the anniversary of this tragic day in our history, I hope you will join me in honoring all those who put the needs of others before their own by serving in your community.”

I don’t need fat ass, Moochelle to lecture me on volunteering. I have been doing it all my life without her imput. Besides, when I volunteer I’m not at a photo op and trying to get my husband’s polling numbers up.
She should have went to TJ Max’s & got it for $15!
Moochelle has the ghetto high five down pat...

First Lady Michelle Obama high fives volunteers helping with a community service project at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va., Sept. 11, 2010. About 150 volunteers, including active duty troops and veterans, pitched in on renovation projects at the center in honor of the National Day of Service and Remembrance.
I give more than anyone but GOD can know. She is talking to her FUBU crowd. May God Bless You
National Day of Service and Remembrance
What the hell does service have to do with 9/11 ?
They want us to forget WHO did this.
I WON’T
