'Fashion Critic' or Fan Girl? WashPost's Givhan Won't Critique Michelle Obama's Fashion(NO PIC)

NO PICTURE!!!

Robin Givhan, as our Tim Graham described her last year, is "the liberal political columnist who plays fashion writer at The Washington Post." As Graham earlier observed, Givhan is "best known to many as Michelle Obama's worshipful accessory to fashion."

And so—as you might expect—in her column this week, Givhan was unwilling to criticize the, shall-we-say, controversial fashion choices that Michelle Obama made for her book-tour appearance with Sarah Jessica Parker earlier this week.

Have a gander and judge for yourself Michelle's ensemble of "a full-length, draped, shimmery yellow shirt dress with a pair of gold, holographic thigh-high boots." You might say that Givhan tiptoed around Michelle's boots.

Givhan did let us know that the outfit was "very, very expensive." But you suspect that if a former Republican First Lady had worn such an outfit, Givhan would have reported the precise price tag and scolded her for conspicuous consumption.

Fox News noted the "$3,900 gold sequined thigh-high boots," and the "$550 Jennifer Fisher gold ‘Baby Jamma’ hoops." Not that she would have to actually pay for these things.

You could have done more good just posting the pic on the left. Now my lunch may make a second appearance.

First Lady Melania gown looks very flowy and airy but the Wookie wrap around gown looks like she grabbed a wrinkled yellow curtain that needs to be iron and it looks like Mike tattooed himself on the legs.

I remember how the media was calling Mike a fashion icon like Jackie Kennedy. Every designer who helped Mike went into bankruptcy afterwards. LOL

Michelle looks like “she” just came off the stage a drag show.

I thought it means that Michelle is NOT a Wookie. She is one of the lizard people. Or, at least half lizard.

A tranny, some Balenciaga glitter boots and Sarah Jessica Parker walk into a bar...

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
