Report: Michelle Obama to Attend Hollywood A-List/Euro-Elite Charity Party in Marbella Tonight

What a coinky-dink. First Lady Michelle Obama's five day stay at the Villa Padierna in Marbella, Spain, is taking place at the same time as a Hollywood A-list, European elite charity dinner is being held there.

According to the Associated Press, Obama and her friends plan to attend:

The Obama party is due to attend a charity event hosted by actors Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria on Saturday night, Marbella newspaper La Tribuna said.

The UK Telegraph has details about the party:

Meanwhile at the five-star luxury Villa Padierna, where the group have chosen to spend their mini-break, preparations were under way for Marbella's event of the year – a star-studded charity gala hosted by Hollywood A-listers Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria.

Expectation was high that the First Lady would be the special guest at the event on Saturday night after she received a personal invitation from Ms Longoria, star of Desperate Housewives, who lent her support to Barack Obama during his presidential campaign.

More than 400 tickets have been sold for the Starlite Gala at 1000 euros each, according to organisers, and reports suggested that this week another 200 people had applied for tickets and were on a waiting list after learning that Mrs Obama might be present.

What an amazing coincidence that Michelle "Let's Party" Obama booked her jet-set style vacation when the jet-set was in town.

Socialists in high society and haute couture- what a surreal imagery and ideology...

OMG! She spotted the draperies in the Green Room!

[Soothesayer]

She’ll be right at home surrounded by useless animals who bite the hand that feeds them.

[NordP]

Yep...this is an official “fund raising” trip!

The gala is presenting a “humanitarian award” to Deepak Chopra, Obama supporter and Palin hater:

Got a personal invite from Eva....Well, there goes the visiting "old friends" cr** out the window. Pure Political.

Let's see...The View, Eva, Oprah...

I'd say he's worried about the women's vote.

Can you spell HILLARY.

White House calling: Michelle Obama wants one of Bunmi Olaye’s coats......

Bunmi Olaye’s warrior-like woman collection (pictured above). Inspired by the mysterious, men-only Leopard Masquerade cult of the Efik tribe in the Nigerian province of Calabar, mixed with references to the high-collars, tight waists and voluminous sleeves of the Victorian era The look plays with proportions, gorgeous colours, vibrant prints with strong shoulders and enhanced waists.

And it seems this designer is already mixing in the right circles. Last year she established her own label which now has a celebrity client list which includes Mel B (Spice Girl), Mischa Barton, Alesha Dixon and Estell.

A Nigerean native, Bunmi already seems to be making at least small waves. Her experience w/ Alexander McQueen is evident in her designs. Slated to show at Africa Fashion Week later this month, Bunmi was asked to explain her collection: "The collection explores the feeling of a warrior-like woman in power. " Even if she doesn't find herself a star in the international industry, there's no doubt that Bunmi'll find herself a rightful place in African fashion.

What the well-dressed warrior woman is wearing.

“reports suggested that this week another 200 people had applied for tickets and were on a waiting list after learning that Mrs Obama might be present.”

Sounds like high school, people clamoring to hang out with the perceived “cool kids.” Or like the inside the beltway crowd.....2012 can’t come soon enough!

Marbella, the parvenu paradise. Perfectly fitting for a this woman. One wonders how often she will return once she can no long count on the US taxpayer to foot the bill.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Chopra is an absolute, first rate, raving whack-job. He espouses exactly the type nonsense that fuels the left’s obsession with some utopian dream ruled of course by themselves. That's gonna be one extremely flaky shindig.

The best thing about Bush spending time at his ranch was that the press hated having to go there to cover him. It wasn’t glamorous enough for them.

Bunmi mentioned that Michelle wanted a cream color coat.

Maybe this one from the "Geisha Reform"(!) collection?

I hope there's a conservative working in the kitchen to put a special additive in Michelle Antoinette's soup.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
