Oh, gawd. That tie-dyed schmatta is not designed to be an off-the-shoulder dress; but she always has to make some affectation to put her ghetto stamp on things. Grow up, Michelle.
Maybe that's why Hillary left hers at home.

I agree that the dress doesn’t look like it was designed to be an off-the-shoulder dress. However, other than that, I think it is elegant and worthy of an estate dinner. I think that it minimizes Michelle’s body negatives (all of us have them and need to dress accordingly) and makes her look really nice. I’ve always thought that she photographs well (most of the time) and this dress is appropriate to the occasion.
I disapprove that the Obamas are giving Hu a lavish estate dinner at all, but since they are doing it, I guess it’s appropriate to wear Chinese red. I’m offended by the entire dinner and Obama’s kowtowing to the country trying to defeat us.
