The Strange Secret World of Michelle Obama's Fashion DepartmentEveryone knows that when Michelle Obama wears something in public, it's either going to sell out or cause a controversy. What everyone doesn't know is that there is plenty of behind-the-scenes drama among the women who dress her.
While the First Lady has long been linked to boutique owner and stylist Ikram Goldman, it's now becoming clear that their relationship isn't as close as it used to be. Obama has a White House employee, 29-year-old personal assistant Meredith Koop, looking after her style, procuring her garments, and setting up arrangements with designers for custom-made pieces. To make it into a mini-soap opera, Koop started her career working at Goldman's boutique, Ikram, in Chicago and was dispatched to Washington when the First Lady took up residence in the White House. Now the student may have replaced her teacher.
No one is talking much about it, though. Michelle won't address the rumors and neither Goldman nor Koop will give interviews. Still, Jason Horowitz tries to get to the bottom of the situation in the Washington Post, but only finds a world that's as glamorous, secretive, and exclusive as the fashion industry itself

I listened to some old Dianna Ross & Supremes videos on UTube this afternoon...when Motown was in its glory. Dianna looked anorexic...not like Michelle. LOL!
Beached whale pod.
The article :-)
Q. Do these pants make me look fat?
A. No,,, You, make those pants look HUGE!!!
Have a few more Ribs & Ice cream Maybe that will help.
Jest check’n. LOL!
Do we really care what Hipzilla wears next?? I think it’s funny that she preaches nutrition/fitness when she couldn’t run a mile if she tried. Two things missing from public disclosure are Barry’s long-form birth certificate and Michelle’s BMI. It’s a coin toss as to which will make the press first....
“replace Meredith Koop with a competent fashion consultant.”
I recommend “Omar the Tent Maker” as her new wardrobe consultant. He may have enough sail cloth the cover her massive rump.
She reminds me of the old “Far Side” cartoon where the fat woman has a Chihuahua stuck in her crack as she nails up a reward notice for a missing dog.
The revolting image of phat ass mabelle michelle wearing a thong panty is enough to make anyone barf. It’s hard to image how putrid she is. Looks like even 0dumb0 is thinking “WTF michelle, cover up your phat ass! It’s disgusting!” No wonder he leers at women’s asses whenever he has a chance!
“she probably makes the bamster sleep on the floor”
well since her butt takes up 7/8th of the bed where else is going to sleep?
In the ghetto! (In the ghetto!)
Thanks to everyone on this thread. Laughter is the best medicine; possible overdose in progress LOL. Laughter to point of tears. :)))
Those two women on the left show style and sexiness. The Wookie, on the other hand, looks like a chamber maid.
I swear you can get more stylish clothes from Kmart.
That would be pretty if it fit. What is going on up top?
What is with that face? Ugh. She always looks so haughty- Moosechelle Antoinette is a good name for her.
Or Wookie.
Can’t wait for the reality show based on this report.
Who knew? You could have shopped the remnant bin at Wal-Mart, made it into a skirt, and instant Fashion Icon!
Love how the guy in the red tie looks just totally humiliated to be seen in public near her, too.
