I don't either. But, I don't believe that's the import of the story, nor is it the reason why I posted it. The story illustrates the questions surrounding the acquisition of her wardrobe. It perhaps sounds like a trivial matter, but in point of fact, these dresses and accessories (shoes, belts, bags etc), can cost in excess of $10K an outfit.
It begs the question, where is this money coming from? Are any favors being given in exchange for the clothes? Are the requisite disclosure forms being completed? And finally, are taxes being paid on the clothes that are received "gratis", per IRS regulations.
This isn't about Michelle Obama's wardrobe and fashion sense. It's about transparency - or lack thereof - in her husband's administration.
Rumor had it that her father-in-law had paid her off to stay married to Jack in spite of his many affairs so that he would remain electable to the presidency.
(I should explain that in the ancient early 1960s, American voters -- in those days they were citizens -- still set a high value on marriage and monogamy.)
