I have one of those cloth wrap thingies and I wear it every day now because otherwise Baby cries too much.
Michelle's baby must have fallen out.

NEW ORLEANS — Chaka Khan is more than angry.
Instead of getting to rest before her show at the Louisiana Superdome, the R&B star has been booked for two speaking engagements. She’s holed up in her hotel suite, fuming. Outside, her assistants are waiting for her to open the door.
Her makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge, is waiting, too. He just flew in to do her after working on Michelle Obama in the East Wing. After New Orleans, he’s scheduled to fly out to do Oprah Winfrey before returning home to Washington.
But first Rutledge has to persuade Khan to open the door. Finally, after 15 minutes, she does, and Rutledge distracts her by talking about two of her favorite subjects: tennis and shopping.
Within 30 minutes, Khan emerges, reddish mane flowing, lips sensuous in burgundy, looking glorious in a lace dress and carrying a hand fan.
“It wasn’t a good day,” Khan later admits. “I was nervous about speaking, but he calms me. He knows what to say to me.”
Rutledge has worked for Khan for 15 years. He knows what his client and close friend needs: a hug and some orange juice. “I’m more than just makeup,” he says. “I’m there for support as well.”
Rutledge is the man behind the look of some of the world’s most famous names. A leading makeup artist, he gets as much as $15,000 for a day’s work and boasts a coveted client list, including two of the nation’s most photographed faces, Michelle Obama and Oprah, as well as singers such as Patti LaBelle, Shirley Caesar and CeCe Winans. Just last month, his work was on the covers of Essence and AARP, which featured Obama, and O, which featured, obviously, Oprah.

Well I wouldn’t mind having that yellow floral dress.. just not sure how appropriate it is for the occasion to which she is wearing it
I am rather a flamboyant dresser (not boob belts, undersized sweaters etc however!!!)

You know who her mean eyebrows remind me of??
Actually, she looks good in that gold floral dress and cute wig. That may be her best wig yet.
One can always argue against her excessive skin-baring when she's in attendence at affairs of state. But it's so unusual to see her in something attractive for a change, that those "well-toned arms" constantly foisted on the world-scene pale for the moment in favor of the improvement.
Could it be that she finally has located a designer, hair stylist and makeup artist that can turn her tide......the best artistes our money can buy?

Hah, hah, hee, hee....Rush just cited a university study showing that women who bare a lot of flesh are perceived as less intellingent....and less confident.
I'm sure Moochelle was listening to Rush and heard all the details. Oh, yeah.

Gah. That derrière never quits.
Naw! Don't be harsh on the Wookie. It's a different kind of a gun. It's her embarrassing package rerouted from the front to the back. It was the only reason for 0h0m0 to marry "her."
If you don't believe me, see #70 by mojitojoe.
I think her a** is wearing a bra!
ROFLMAO!!!! If that’s you’re idea of pretty......
No, not buying it.
That was the most ‘human-looking’ I have seen her.
