"The White House today announced that Maria Cristina 'MC' González Noguera will be joining the staff as Special Assistant to the President and Communications Director to the First Lady, replacing Kristina Schake who will be leaving the White House for a position in the private sector. Ms. Gonzalez will start in the East Wing in July," the White House press release reads.
The new staffer's bio reads: "Maria Cristina González Noguera is an experienced communications executive currently serving as the Global Vice President, Corporate Communications, for the Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (ELC). Ms. González Noguera advises the Companys leadership team on strategic communications matters including government affairs, media relations, issues management, and employee engagement. During her tenure at ELC she has played a significant role in leading and integrating the Companys extensive corporate responsibility initiatives.

A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Ms. González Noguera is a graduate of Tufts University. She is married and has a one-year-old son."
In a statement, Michelle Obama says, Kristina has been an essential and valued advisor to me over the past two and a half years. Her expertise in strategic planning and her creativity have been invaluable not just to me but to the entire Administration and I am truly grateful for her leadership and counsel. While she will be greatly missed at the White House, the impact of her work will be lasting.

Another drian on taxpayers to attempt to make the wookie beautiful
AT what salary?
Why does the position of FLOTUS require all these appointees? All she needs is secretary, perhaps someone who can answer the phone, schedule her ...why does she NEED all these people?? How does THIS benefit the American people? If she requires an image consultant, LET IT BE ON HER OWN DIME.
What a freaking RIP OFF of the American taxpayer!
Agreed..love their line.
Haven’t bought Estée in years..
Doesn’t anyone have control over this wasted expenditure? I’m sure Presidents and First Ladies can’t spend our money carte blanche.
What she needs is a wardrobe consultant and a new hair dresser.
Advice: “Lots of night games.”
Estee Lauder?
I would recommend Nair and Gliddon Paint. Certainly Spanx.
Or Acme Paper Bag products.
I don't think it will help much.
BEFORE
AFTER
It’s too bad Earl Scheib isn’t around anymore.
I regularly purchase Lauder’s “Beautiful” perfume for a dear friend.
Well, until now.
He'd have to do a bit of sandblasting, wouldn't he?
lol
