Michelle Obama

**KELT** · 01-20-2009, 09:57 PM

You know that critics can rave about how everything that the MRS.OBAMA does is nothing short of extraordinary, but I really got to laugh when they say how great the clothes that MICHELLE OBAMA wears are 'trend setting' . TIM GUNN of Project Runway, the guy who looks like (the older) PAUL NEWMAN playing gay couldn't have given more accolades on LARRY KING tonight talking about MICHELLE 'fabulous choices'.

Also cracks me up when I hear about MICHELLE'S dresses being compared to those of JACKIE KENNEDY, because afterall what young African American woman wouldn't want to emulate the wardrobe picks of a white woman from almost 50 years ago ? I guess it makes for better press than comparing her to OMAROSA MANIGAULT-STALLWORTH, the other fierce looking gal . . . . .

"Hi..I'm Timmy. Wanna wear my slip ? "

This lurex mess looked like something for Halloween; it made her look 5 months preggers. It pulled and restrained in all the wrong places. Additionally, it accentuated her bow legs. Not a good thing.

DOWDY and MATRONLY
are two words that come to mind.
Looks like she came up with the material
for this stinker from an upholsterer.

" Dead white ladies inspiring my ass......... "

I love Michelle, but I`m not gonna lie.....I detest her taste in clothes.....the girl needs serious help, and as hard as it is to diss on her, she needs to fire anybody that is responsible for this crap.....I thought Jackie`s hats in the 60`s were bad, even though everyone raved about them.....just because she was Jackie doesn`t mean it`s gonna fly.....JMO

**scott69** · 01-20-2009, 10:00 PM

LOL, no they couldn't be any worse! And her legs are sooo ugly!

**hell0kitty** · 01-20-2009, 10:02 PM

yuck yuck yuck, both the woman and the clothes. she should wear one of her burnt american flags maybe?

She got some muscle going on in those calves, and she needs to wear shoes and outfits that compliment that, although I for the life of me don`t know what that style would be.....she`s a beautiful woman, but she needs some serious clothing help

**bblvnvelphy** · 01-20-2009, 10:05 PM

omgosh, i feel like i'm the only one who likes what she wears.

haha

that must say a lot about me lol

**RaRaRamona** · 01-20-2009, 10:05 PM

I agree! The white dress was gorgeous but she really needs a better stylist. That red & black number was hid-e-ous. It made her look pregnant. And not cute pregnant either.

Oooooh you're a 50 year old with amnesia thinking it's still 1962?

**lady_blue** · 01-20-2009, 10:07 PM

This is the thread for all the people who like Michelle's sense of style and feels she makes it work.

To start off, which of her outfits is your fave?

**bblvnvelphy** · 01-20-2009, 10:08 PM

like no joke haha

**bblvnvelphy** · 01-20-2009, 10:10 PM

i loved what she wore today, at the ball and for the all day activities.

**RaRaRamona** · 01-20-2009, 10:10 PM

Merge!

**Desertrose** · 01-20-2009, 10:13 PM

What burnt American flag????

**trose** · 01-20-2009, 10:18 PM

I think she has some hits and misses. I loved her dress tonight - but I like stuff like that.

The red and black dress folks around here have taken to calling the "Black Widow" dress - it really does look like the markings on a black widow spider.

This mornings dress I also liked - I liked the shiny stuff at the neck and I think the neckline was a bit prettier than Kelt's picture showed. I think if she'd of been able to take off the jacket it might have been better.

She could probably use some style help, though. Then again, can't we all?

**Desertrose** · 01-20-2009, 10:23 PM

Michelle will do fine, she has every designer in the world wanting her to wear their clothes, she will figure out what works for her and what she is comfortable wearing. I thought she looked wonderful today, I loved her white gown tonight.

**WendyK** · 01-20-2009, 11:12 PM

She is trying to be Jackie. I personally think she looks like a man.Jackie was way more classy and Prettier.

Hmmm I dunno...Jackie was a lil manly. She was very squared off. Michelle has a wonky eye thing & her mouth is slighty vampirish but I do think she is a pretty lady.

**bit_evil1** · 01-20-2009, 11:24 PM

I never paid attention before...but yeah the clothes are not good...very very bad actually. wowwww....

I agree! She's not feminine or classy at all.

**Jaxxx** · 01-21-2009, 12:04 AM

where's Mr Blackwell when you need him!!!!!!!!!!!!! She should fire her stylist, she missed on fashion in every way.

**neilmpenny** · 01-21-2009, 12:07 AM

Meeeeeoooooowwwwww!

**John Connor** · 01-21-2009, 12:10 AM

I really loved her in....nah.

**KELT** · 01-21-2009, 12:10 AM

Maybe she should get ahold of BEYONCE'S mother
and that
HOUSE OF DERRIERE
or whatever the shit they call that
affectation of a business.

**WendyK** · 01-21-2009, 12:11 AM

I just think the "O" could of done better like Halle! He is a good loooking man!

**gemini33** · 01-21-2009, 12:24 AM

Merge please!

**Nessa** · 01-21-2009, 01:12 AM

Merged to be a thread devoted to the First Lady, lousy dresser or not.

**Fluffy-54** · 01-21-2009, 01:22 AM

One thing is certain - whatever she wears, some people will like it and some people won't. The only way she can win is to ignore the critics and just wear whatever she likes and is comfortable in. Good luck to her.

Wise words! I hope that Michelle hears ya!

**Gorey** · 01-21-2009, 03:32 AM

Did any of you see the mess of a gown she wore to the inaugural balls last night. Jackie, my ass. She might have muscular legs, but she has some grandma type flappy triceps on her arms when she waves. Has she heard of sleeves??

I admit though I don't really like her or her clothes, mostly her.....

**DietCokeofEvil** · 01-21-2009, 04:07 AM

Well, what do you people expect when its on the taxpayers dime?

To tell you the truth there aren't that many women over 30 who look good in sleeveless. She obviously has some kind of fitness regimen, but she's 45 and she might as well get used to covering up a bit.

Also, she's a tall woman and she's got a weird gait. I've seen that before- the tall girl in class who's subconsciously slouching so she doesn't stick out.

I thought the gown was a "meh"- pretty, but nothing cutting edge about it. Maybe a little more red carpet than ball gown though.

Red carpet is right - it was designed by Jason Wu. I'm very familiar with the red carpet gowns he designs for Barbie dolls ... they'd look sensational on anyone with Barbie's figure!

**kafenervosa** · 01-21-2009, 05:28 AM

I didn't like the inaugural gown. I didn't like how the strap was sewn on or the flowery things stuck all over the dress. It might have looked okay on someone much younger, but I thought she could have made a better choice.

**lisalouver** · 01-21-2009, 05:36 AM

She is not attractive at all, IMO.

Her clothing lacks style, fit and comfort.

LOL I thought she looked great in it but I didn't se her raise her arms or anything.

She's very heavy footed.

**Frank 'N' Howie** · 01-21-2009, 06:22 AM

Ya know...She looks pretty good when she is standin by herself...When she is with the O man...Um...The only word that pops into my head is "Amazon woman"...Sorry...I've been wantin to say that for a YEAR!!! Man, it feels good to get that off my chest...

**smellslikealmonds** · 01-21-2009, 06:27 AM

I hope someone fixes her bow legs, and her big ol teeth. There I said it.

**endsleigh03** · 01-21-2009, 06:40 AM

I think she is pretty, but I don't like any of her clothes.

She'll 'get it' after a bit. (I hope)
Just needs a stylist.

Also, she's a big, tall girl.
Nothing wrong with that.

*CYBER high five*
Hell, I ain't no freakin beauty queen here but them is some BOW legs...

**beatlebaby4** · 01-21-2009, 07:20 AM

I like Michelle. I do question her choices in the clothing dept but I'm sure we will see a more stylish Michelle emerge over the next few months. I'm sure she will have stylists coming out of the woodwork to help her.

I agree Beatle. I don't think she is unattractive. She is First Lady and shouldn't be expected to look like a supermodel.

**endsleigh03** · 01-21-2009, 07:33 AM

Ummmm...her legs?
Something you are born with, not like you pick it.

My Dad was severely bow-legged.

My BFF who passed- same thing, and would never wear shorts because of it.

Nobody would choose legs like that because you spend your life trying to compensate for it and hide it, if it bad enough.

Very true Ends...Ya know...It is really easy to pick people apart...I guess I just had some pent up frustration...I do apologise...It's not like I don't try to hide my fat butt...I look like I got hit in the ass with a sack fulla nickels...

**Shano** · 01-21-2009, 07:45 AM

I think she is pretty. But in some outfits she is not so pretty. But couldn't you put anyone that is in the spotlight down for their clothing choices? I thought Biden's wife looked like a hooker yesterday. But again she is in the spotlight. I bet it is hard for any women who has cameras on them to make the "right" choices because there will always be someone who hates the outfit, hair, shoes etc.

Laura Bush was too matronly, Jackie O was ok but I thought that she was a bit manly looking. I never understood the thought that she was a trend setter. I think people felt that way about her because before her the country saw the first lady as an old grandma type who had no style except bland.

On a seperate note the girls are so very pretty!

**LadyDay** · 01-21-2009, 07:47 AM

She's a tall big boned lady who could look fabulous in the right clothes.

I think women that size should avoid over-feminine dresses because it just makes them look manly.

She'd suit well tailored trouser suits for day time wear with cute waistcoats and sharp shirts.

Just thinking, if her legs were straightened out, she'd probably be about 6ft 3ins tall.

I figure I am about 3 chocolate bars behind you til I get my nickels (GRIN).

Seriously though, my Dad's father would make him walk on the other side of the street because of his legs. As in, you aren't with me....
The rotting bastard. He really is rotted, died in the 60's, not a nice man

They may have surgery for it now, or braces or something, but that was in the way-back days.

**McCourt** · 01-21-2009, 07:57 AM

She needs to stop wearing plastic jewelery. No one looks good in that.
