Michelle Knows What Works - Style Experts (2) Agree |
2009-06-24 |
A chic sheath dress in a bold color -- that is the unmistakable Michelle Obama look, one she has made her own as first lady of the United States, according to two new books celebrating Obama's fashion sense. As usual, it's about selling new books. And sucking up to power ... Her image is everywhere you look Slurp. Last month, she was in Paris, where she once again shone next to super-chic French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. In the same dress, almost. Did they discuss it? Pic at link. But she especially stands out these days in bookstores, striking a pose on Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion by Mandi Norwood (William Morrow, $19.99 ) and on Michelle Obama: First Lady of Fashion and Style by Susan Swimmer (Black Dog & Leventhal, $9.95). There's even a Michelle Obama 2010 wall calendar featuring 20 color pictures of her ($15.99 at Amazon.com). Doesn't take much time for these 'authors' to write their best-seller. Both book authors are veteran fashion editors, and both say Mrs. O is an original and at the same time a woman with whom anyone can identify. Both books are packed with color photos and sketches of Obama's fashion choices over the past year or outfits famous designers have imagined for her. Both analyze what Obama is doing and how she's doing it -- and what effect she's having. Ms. Wife to the white courtesy phone, please. Trailing Wife to the white phone, please. |

#21 I would normally refrain about this, but since the Obama-worshiping press, fashion media sycophants, and assorted Dem remoras insist on calling her faaaabulous(!), let me just say - I've seen more graceful T-rex animations, the Klingon forehead, bite-a-wall overbite and all around bitter entitlement attitude make me wanna puke. Classy? Non! Graceful? Non! Tasteful? Non! Bitter Klingon wid da wide load? Oui! As a fashion maven in my Levi's jeans, steel-toed Timberlands, and polo shirt/hawaiian shirt rotation, my word is good |

#16 It's common down south to see mature Black women measuring two axe handle and a span, across the butt. makes me wonder how their legs hold all that weight without buckling. Course, the legs look like tree trunks as well. |

#14 I can see why Barry left her at home when he went for ice cream. Nearly enough there to cover two time zones. |

#12 I typically avoid commenting on physical appearances, both good and bad, because it's just too easy. But in this case I'm going to make an exception. I'm willing to acknowledge that Michelle Obama is an objectively attractive woman. And while she's not really my type, her thighs look to be nearing the stature and girth of Her Thighness, HRC. Must be something in the water at 1600 Pennslyvania Ave. |
