While greeting a Latino audience to support her husband’s speech about opportunities for Hispanics, Michelle Obama decided an exotic gown was in order. As President Barack Obama spoke at the black-tie event, the First Lady looked stunning in the strapless raw-silk dress by U.S. designer Chris Benz. She appeared to be inspired by an Amazonian peacock as she sashayed into the Washington Convention Center with matching emerald hued earrings and classic black heels.

Oh my! I used to raise peacocks, and I do believe they could be construed as evil. They certainly never did anything I told them to do. They are independent to foolishness. A lot like Obama. There purpose was to walk around my place and look pretty. Instead, they hid in the barn all day and only came out at dusk. Then, half the time they couldn’t find their way back to the barn at dark. Eventually, they all were killed by foxes, or each other.
Although pretty, peacocks have very small heads. I construe this to mean that they also have very small brains. They used to break their own eggs.
