Make Way for Jackie O!
It was a fa-boo-less 4th at the WH yesterday and Michelle Obama's Mirror's was there with "The Apron’s Red Glare:"
And before I hear anything about the apron-top that makes MO look like a pregnant carnival barker, let me just say on her behalf, it was red, white and blue. And I think she needed the pockets for making change for the concessions.There's nothing like the White House now that the style and elegance of the Kennedy years is back in the house, right? FLOTUS has over 22 people on her personal staff at an annual cost to taxpayers of around $1.5 million. Would it be too much for one of them to be assigned to stand fashion guard duty at the entrance to the personal quarters to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

Your Say
As a conservative, distrustful of Government, I'm all in favor of any politician or hanger-on looking ridiculous.

should be,"Are You Out Of Your Effing Mind?"

Geez...can you imagine having to kiss that every morning before you go off to wreck the country?

One of my guilty pleasures is watching "Project Runway". I started watching it when I was laid up with a broken knee and had hit the "200 channels and nothing on" stage, I kept watching it because I was actually learning some great sewing and tailoring tips from watching what they do.
Anyhoo...
I can just imagine what the judges on that show and Tim Gunn would say about that outfit if it came down the runway. Michael Kors would probably call it "a uniform for a pregnant Chuck E. Cheese waitress designed by someone who is blind" and Tim Gunn would have said "this really worries me-it looks like clown clothes" during his inspection.

What greater motivation could a man have to wreck the country?

If she's as thin-skinned as her husband I'd say each and every one of her staff has made the personal decision to smile and simply wave her out the door.

Maybe they hired all the same people who worked for George Lucas?

The Empress has new clothes, and new spinsters to make them. Their elegance is only visible to people who are hip, in the know, and aesthetically superior to you, you scruffy plebeian know nothing. Don't you know anything?

God, that woman has absolutely no taste.
Posted by: ahem at July 6, 2010 7:58 AM
You don't have to have taste, if you have anybody you trust to take care of your taste. But Mrs. Obama doesn't trust anyone to be her personal shopper or fashion consultant, her alternate mom, or her best friend who tells her the truth. That's pretty sad.
OTOH, it's obvious that inside Mrs. Obama is a cheerful woman who loves bright colors, and is desperately trying to get out. She could use that, if only she had someone helping her channel it. But she doesn't.

Is she dressing with the lights turned off? She is an embarrassment.

+1 Kurt!
...and Maureen, she may love bright colors, but really: cheerful? She of the best-known-in-America frown?

Lot of black in that smock too.

...The empress of style has chosen a frock in Red, White, and Blue with a patriotic Kenyan motif.

Everyone, they say, has a shadow side that we choose to hide. Michelle is such a sourpuss that she has to be repressing her cheerful, open side.
