WASHINGTON (AP) — On any day during her eight years as first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama said she could go from giving a speech to meeting with a counterpart from another country to digging in her vegetable garden with groups of schoolchildren.
And her clothes had to be ready for that. There was too much else to do, including raising daughters Sasha and Malia, and she said she did not have time to obsess over what she was wearing.
“I was concerned about, ‘Can I hug somebody in it? Will it get dirty?’” she said Wednesday night during a moderated conversation about her style choices dating to growing up on the South Side of Chicago to when she found herself in the national spotlight as the first Black woman to be first lady. “I was the kind of first lady that there was no telling what I would do.”
Obama would become one of the most-watched women in the world, for what she said and did, but also for what she wore. She chronicled her fashion, hair and makeup journey in her newest book, “The Look,” written with her longtime stylist Meredith Koop and published earlier this month.
She wanted her clothes to be welcoming as well as versatile.
“The thing about clothes that I find is that they can welcome people in or they can keep people away, and if you’re so put together and so precious and things are so crisp and the pin is so big, you know, it can just tell people, ‘Don’t touch me,’” she said.
“I’m not going to push somebody away when they need something from me, and I’m not going to let the clothes get in the way of that,” Obama said.

What??? No whine in that excerpt. Must be fake AI content. She never opens her yap without whining.
I can’t wait to read this latest effort from the endlessly-fascinating Michelle Obama.
I’ll be sure NOT to buy the book since I’m not interested in the musings of a tranny.
I have never seen such a weird combination of extreme fashion obsession and extremely bad fashion sense
Babylon Bee got me again!
Oh, wait...
LOL
I can’t remember who said it a year ago, however whomever is behind the Dem curtain is pushing Moochelle as the next Dem Potus candidate.
Can you even imagine that gorilla climbing into bed with you?
Color me surprised by the sycophancy.
Yeah that was my first reaction too. surely this is satire....
Darn you, tumblindice, that was a perfectly good bite of dinner that just shot across the table.
No matter, I lost my appetite.....
“Think she smells like a male goat? Oh my!”

And Bertelsmann should sound familiar.
From 2008...
Angry black lady dressed like an angry black cleaning lady.
They’re kidding, right? Except for the, er... practical... Barbara Bush, First Ladies are expected to be, and usually are, of an elegant fashion. Michelle Obama either looked like she had just come in from mowing the lawn, or like she had ordered her clothing from Montgomery Ward, with the advice of her worst enemy.
She must be talking about her angry black woman look.
