Maybe. Did you know that the designer was Cuban??

The anarchist flags and stars seems a bit of a reach, but it definitely has a black widow look. Are we looking at another Hillary? Will Obama end 8 years in the White House (or 12 or 16), and then Mrs. Obama take over?

Someone pointed this out today….

Also that it looked very like the markings on a Black Widow spider…

I liked her choices better when she was copying Jackie-O! And just to get it out in the open and off my mind, am I the only one who thinks a few lessons in how to walk like a lady would help MO carry off whatever ensembles she wears? There may be a physical limitation that causes her not to bend her knees so her stride is stiff and ungraceful.

I beg to differ. Maybe this is my male lack of fashion sense, but I thought her dress was OK. Perhaps a little daring considering the plain Jane standards that most high officials’ wives wear, and perhaps more appropriate for a cocktail party than the event she wore it for, but what the hey. I also liked the red and black combos of all four Obamas, perhaps because those were my high school colors.

What I found unacceptable was not Michelle Obama’s clothing choices, but her husband’s remark about Nancy Reagan. That was uncalled for. Sarky, sneering, arrogant. At least he had the sense to apologize THIS time for putting his foot in his mouth.

(“I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.”) Which she didn’t do at the White House.

judy,

Your vision of a bubbling cauldron just made me have my first pang of pity for Barack.

Those Soviet Premier wives convinced me that all these Russian women must all be awfully plain. Then Glasnost came…and wow!

Am I just peering through the wrong section of my trifocals, or does it look like the fires of Hell are burning on her chest? If you don’t want to take it all the way to Hell, perhaps a bubbling cauldron?

Book, my all-time Soviet faves were the Press sisters, Tamara and Irina, who brought home many a gold medal for the USSR track team.

Turns out they later tested positive for male traits.

I was in such a funk from that news that I didn’t recover fully until Madeline Albright appeared on the scene and restored my faith in frump.

My problem with Michelle isn’t her bad fashion sense (who woulda thought that a cosseted yuppie wouldn’t know how to dress?), it’s her perpetual gloom.

That woman is ANGRY.
