I defy you to read this entire article and not:
1) Wish you could stick pins in your eyes
2) Lose your last meal
3) Suffer an aneurysm from the uncontrollable guffaws this will generate.
Amazing. Simply amazing

She does have a unique/signature style. But while sometimes she nails it with a fresh and appropriate outfit, other times it's an absolute fright. She makes me often wonder whether she has anyone advising her on her clothing in terms of how it will look on camera, or among a bunch of suits. It's just hit or miss.
And although she seems to be able to strike a pose, she is not a graceful person by any means. Perhaps she is not entirely comfortable with her height, as is common with many tall women, but there are times when I swear she walks like a truck driver--for example, see the video from her entrance when she's visiting Queen Elizabeth.
Now, none of these things are worth throwing stones at her over; they aren't matters of character, etc., and she didn't ask to be a fashion/feminine icon. But they stand out against these people who seem determined to deify her for fashion and style characteristics she just does not have. I don't get it...
But then, you can look at me and tell that I don't get "style" in any sense of the word, either.
Besides the self-parody aspect, the adulation of Michelle Obama is especially disgusting when you remember 2 things:
1) She introduced Obama to Bernardine Dorhn (and most likely Bill Ayers) when they worked together at Sidley Austin in 1988-1989.
2) Was the driving force behind Barack's membership and attendance at Rev. Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, where he listened to Wright's racist and anti-US sermons for 20 years.
She's not worthy of the adulation or parody, let alone her position as First Lady.
It wouldn't have been surprising at all -- it would have been positively dumbfounding.
Hey? Anybody seen JTG lately?
Do we need to check a blotter somewhere?

We're going to see a lot of this junk for the next few years. Keep the Pepto handy.
Alas, we saw how powerful and influential they still are with a majority of Americans, and just how gullible and unserious the majority of Americans have become.
I still can't find anything positive in this.
I loathe "The One" and by extension his wife, but it doesn't mean I begrudge her being the toast of London. As a matter of fact, since I am an extremely tribal person, once the Obamas go overseas representing America - I want her to be the hottest. Even crazy, scheming pinko Americans are better than anyone else. lol!
Fbl - she was hit or miss in the beginning, but I have seen no evidence of that lately. I think she did get some kind of consultant.
For the rest of you, she is young and she has people to help her work out and dress her and help her with her hair and do her up - for pity's sake she better look good! And that's fine, I wouldn't want her to be schlubby.
This is so silly and Tim, you gave me the biggest giggle! Do her "guns" scare you? Or is it just that you prefer softer women like me?
It's not her "guns" that scare me, Maggie... it's that cro-magnon/Lurch forehead of hers. I could swear I've seen her in a drag-review in Harlem....... Can't we get Andrew Sullivan investigating this "conspiracy"? I mean, after all, he spent MONTHS blogging about how he KNEW Trig Palin was NOT Sarah's baby, but her daughters!
Oh, it's a good time to own shares in the popcorn industry :)
I notice you didn't answer the second question. Is that because you forgot you met me once?
I was, of course, speaking of metaphorical tounge-bath.
You perv... :)
Me? I find huge foreheads and powerful biceps weirdly ... repulsive, in a hermaphroditical way.
Ace of Spades called her a Klingon, and I'm wondering if he knew something we didn't. Snerk.
Coulda saved some money and just walked from the parking lot to the main gate of the VA Hospital in Philly.
“I think she's going to be great for strong, independent women,” Ms. Manhas said. “She's not afraid to have a career and children and still look good. Maybe she is proof you can have it all.”
Afraid to have a career and children, and still look good!??? Have it all!???
OH PLEASE.
Manhas must have her eyes closed when looking at all of the incredibly, INDEPENDENTLY, successful women in the world! To say that Michelle has a "career" is insulting to those of us who actually WORK for a living. sheesh.
