OTOH, most of the gowns that Mrs. Obama wears to state affairs are exquisite. The gold one she donned last year was georgeous and there was a black and red one that was quite beautiful too. You don't have a lot of room to play little girl games with after 5 gowns.
One of my favorites was the infamous Black Widow Spider red and black dress. When a model wore it at a show it was stylish; on Michelle wore it, not so much. She just didn’t have the figure for it and it looked ugly on her. There have been several times at White House receptions where she wore dresses that really looked fantastic on her, but most of the time — no go. What is it with her and the “boob belt”?
