What Would Michelle Obama Wear?

Michelle Obama Apparently, according the The LA Times, that was the biggest question people were asking just before the Democratic National Convention. How about you? Were you wondering what kind of outfit Michelle Obama would wear while you were awaiting the convention? Did you care? Does it matter? No, it doesn’t; not one bit.

That didn’t stop The LA Times from putting together a poll, though, and not just a regular political-driven poll, but a sexist poll that targets not only Michelle Obama and her “fashion sense” dating back to 2007, but also includes pictures of Sasha and Malia Obama. In this poll people are voting as to whether Michelle Obama is too frumpy, too matronly, a flawless first lady, or too sexy.

*Sigh* In a time where America is being driven into the ground and we’re rooting for change, a lot of people are still fueled and respond well to blatant sexism and feel the need to nitpick a woman’s attire. Because you’re only as commendable as your last fashion choice, right?

Seriously?

    It's the old schoolyard-bullying at work. People love to put others down to make them feel better about themselves.

    Greetings y'all,

    I think it is a statement on not only where the main stream media thinks our heads are but also that it has become their job to point us in that mindless direction at every opportunity. What has really stunned me these past few days is the response from ordinarily progressive minded women regarding the selection of Palin as the repub vp hopeful. Women are biting all over the pond at the repubs shiny new “it's a woman” lure. Critical thinking is being hopelessly hooked by the lip…it is a sad thing to witness, I think Palin is being used by the same ideology she subscribes to rather than this being an evolutionary leap in consciousness on the right. I think it is a pretty good bet she is not on the ticket to disagree with their platform.

  3. I like Michelle. She is one of the influential women that I look up too. Her fashion statement is something that's natural. But people are trying to make big deal on her fashion scents which is not really necessary.

    Speaking of First Lady Michelle Obama:

    Michelle Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in her heart and mind she inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

    George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

    George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

    And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

    Many people know what Bush did.

    And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

    Bush was absolute evil.

    Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

    Bush is a psychological prisoner.

    Bush has a lot to worry about.

    Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

    In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

  5. Christian Louboutin's designs have gained popularity among socialites and celebrities, several of whom have made public appearances sporting the signature red soles. For example, Christina Aguilera and Nicole Kidman were outfitted by the couture cobbler for their weddings.
    The world is talking about Christian Louboutin, and the Hollywood stars lead the fashion. It is time to get yourself some.

    I think she is a stylish first lady, she has poise, elegance and not to mention extremely long legs so what ever she wear she's gonna look great. Lets face it we are still judged by the way we look, and some more than others, but I think shes doing great

  7. Her fashion statement is something that's natural.
