She was the prettiest in this trip to Europe the night of the NATO dinner, with the Azzedine Alaia dress, high heels and the hair-do with the hair covering the forehead. I would love to see her wearing Armani suits and night gowns, Narciso Rodríguez, Ralph Lauren. She was a breeze of fresh air, they say in United Kingdom, so spontaneous and affectionate, she reminds Doris Day, a clean and nice good girl. God bless you, Barack and Michelle, do not change, please.

She smiles frequently covering her teeth, but she has beautiful teeth. Maybe she should wear some braces to feel more comfortable.

There is no comparison between Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Michelle Obama. Jackie had an innate understanding of fashion; she wore her clothes, they did not wear her. She never let a designer coat flap in the wind. She had wonderful posture and a graceful carriage. Her hair didn’t fall beneath the collar line and pull away, leaving clumps for the collar and the camera to catch. The two-toned sparkly white top and the clashing (yes, whites can clash) putty-colored skirt was an ensemble to miss. If she was dressing for the cameras, her stylist missed the mark.
It was a startling thing to catch Mrs. Obama with her hand around the back of the Queen of England. With all of the logistics to maneuver more than 500 people and a gaggle of cars shipped to London, someone in charge of protocol (if there even was one) forgot to mention: One does not touch Her Royal Highness. If Mrs. Obama forgot, well…she’s new, so I guess it can be forgiven. If she did it on purpose, it was a huge gaffe.
For a first-time visit to London, they get a C-minus. An A for overdoing it (badly) and a D for style. So, that’s sort of an average grade.
Oh, and according to Charles Harrington Elster, there is no “COW” in Moscow. The president could have used a few pointers, as well. But maybe that’s how they say it in Chicago.

Actually I was thinking that Michelle could have been TYRA. Michelle looks more like a fashion model than a Harvard Lawyer. She is tall and slim with good skin, good teeth, nice hair, and distinct facial features. But it is good that she can pull both of these off well! Michelle is everything that I hoped that I would have been. She’s the woman that has it all! I once dated a Harvard graduate who was just as good looking and smart as Barack,but years later I learned that he was married with a hefty $300K a year salary and working on Wall Street! Oh well, no sense in crying over spilled milk!

Just like Michelle I am tall for a woman(5′9″), she epitomizes the
best in all women, not just tall. Michelle is elegant and with such
grace it leaves you excited about the future First Lady.

Thank You Michelle

I hope that Mrs. Obama’s dedication to fitness will serve to inspire black women to keep our weight down. Too many of us have allowed the pounds to pack on. I love that she, and her hubby too, are so dedicated to making it to the gym and keeping themselves healthy.

And yes, the fashion industry loves her because she’s tall and thin, but regular women love her because she still has curves.

I love Mrs O for this. We can all relate to in that we splurge on our outfits on those special occasions, and hit the designer wear, but also know when to hit up Target!!

LOVE HER!!!!!!!
