Ah, but you didn't grow up in the fashion industry did you?
There's a time and place for everything, it's not like we're curing famine or cancer here, eh?
You know, more important things.
That's all.

Uhh, what the heck does it matter? Does your sorry and pitfull life revolve around who is wearing what dress or how she looks? I don't care if she wore blue jeans and a tank top.

Mrs. Obama kinda reminds me of a drag queen I knew once....
Me, too. Phx late 90's?

Yep, she is manish. That horrid puke green/yellow thing was beyond fashion...it was...well, puke green/yellow thingish.

Her ball gown was pretty. Her kids are very cute.

She is a creep, IMHO, as per her history. I'll give her a chance to redeem herself.

Ah, but if you grew up in the fashion industry it does not mean you have talent.

That's all.

This entire thread should be moved. It's already being discussed on the fashion boards.

Darn, no, I didn't 'grow up in the fashion industry'. I forgot you need to have been to be interested in or discuss fashion.

On that note, CD needs to put up a disclaimer in the fashion forum--"Must provide proof of having 'grown up in the fashion industry to post in this forum "

And last night's white one wide shoulder strap dress with layers of whatever the heck that was made her look like a fat cow.

And what's with the flat shoes and walking like a truck driver? That's one horsey woman made uglier by her taste in clothes.

I had to laugh at everyone on TV today dancing politely around how she looked.

There I said it - I ain't tip-toeing around the sainted annointed ones.
I'm glad you started this thread! I thought it was a scene from one flew over the cuckoo's nest....it was like layers of bandages!!! Horiible and I heard that Target is going to sell the wallpaper flower dresses that she is wearing...bye bye Target, it will be a disaster for the sales or we are getting all ridiculous looking black woman walking around....

The First Lady's fashion sense, now that is a truly worthy issue to raise in one of the worst economic crisis the world has ever known, with social issues like education and healthcare on the agenda, poverty, war, foreign policies to rectify, what is happening in Gaza and other world hotspots...


I am so glad to see we have kept a firm grasp on reality and a sense of perspective !


I really find it hard to believe anyone has any time to waste thinking about who wore what, when... Can't we just leave those discussions to the fashion forum , it seems so... vapid and vacant and rather off topic in the politics section does it not ?

Michelle Obama should wear what she wants, what she feels comfortable in.

The same goes for anyone, even those people I dislike or despise. What people wear is of so little consequence when the world around us is crumbling.

Are we really that shallow to judge people by what they wear ? I guess we are.

As long as she is a good Ambassador for the USA and supports her husband I really could not give a fig if she wore sandals and a hemp sack or bellbottoms and platforms. She seems highly intelligent, educated, strong minded and determined and appears to have what it takes to make an excellent President's wife.

Who am I to say what is "acceptable" for her to wear ? Who is anyone apart from her ? As long as she does not disgrace her husband's high office with corrupt behaviour and scandals honestly who bloody cares...

There is more to life than what we look like and we are hopefully a little bit more than clothes-horses.

She also seems to support smaller designers and good for her.

Oh yes, let's all just wallow of nothing but all the depressing crap that's going on. Don't come up for air to talk about lighter stuff, heaven forbid. Please! It'll still be there if we take a moment to discuss fashions. It always has. Maybe you should try not being so touchy over discussing a first lady's fashion. No one's sacred. We've done it for every one before her and she won't be the last.
