Fashion Editor Calls Out
Michelle Obama For Acting
Like An ´Indulged Starlet´

Business Insider, by Ashley Lutz

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/25/2013 11:13:45 AM

A renowned fashion editor was not impressed with Michelle Obama´s behavior leading up to the Inaugural Ball. The first lady reportedly asked between 15 and 30 designers to submit looks before going with this red Jason Wu number, which was kept secret. "Mrs. Obama isn’t an indulged starlet primping for the Oscars, nor should she behave like one," writes Bridget Foley, executive editor of Women´s Wear Daily. "Women everywhere have big events for which they select a single dress in advance of the moment." Michelle Obama´s behavior is high-maintenance compared with that of first ladies´ past,

Comments:
This is sure to make you smile. I hope Ms. Foley has good security. She will no doubt get that dreaded phone call very soon.

Anyone remember the amount of grief Sarah Palin received when this level of attention was given to her wardrobe....by the RNC (not of her own doing)?

Remember the backlash?

I remain amused by michelle´s black wig =- the kind worn by black transsexual hookers on the Jerry Springer show.

I thank Bridget for her honesty. Time for everyone to stand up to the Obamas!

The obamas remind me of the old movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Mooch thinks she is a queen, entitled to 25 handmaidens, lavish parties and vacations, the finest clothing, and we should hang on her every word because she knows what´s best for us peons. Barry imagines that he is a president.

Quite sad really. A couple of underachievers whose dream doesn´t have a prayer of coming true.

Mooch is the ultimate prima dona.

My daughter is a hair stylist and says that there´s not enough styling product on the planet to get Mooch´s real hair to look like that new do. It´s laughably obvious that it´s a wig, but the swooners in the media certainly aren´t going to mention that little fact.

It makes no differences what she wears. I will always see her with her elbows on the table shoveling food in her mouth and chewing with it open. She may be in the White House but she has lowlife ways.

A true fashion icon knows what she wants without having to have an army of stylists telling her or a competition among designers to design clothes for her. Didn´t Jackie O just phone up her regular designer for her iconic inaugural outfit? If Meesh looks good, it is because through feats of fashion engineering (including, no doubt, Spanx), her giant hips and thighs are hidden and her flat chest and long, well-toned arms emphasized to make her look thin.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Chuzzles, 1/25/2013 12:20:32 PM     (No. 9138822)

With the greedy and grasping way Michelle turned out, it is kind of sad that her mom is getting a chance to ruin 2 more girls by being the unofficial babysitter to her granddaughters. Saw the photo of Mrs. Robinson standing behind Obama. No hand over her heart, and we now know which tree Michelle looks like. Spitting image.

The new wig is made of Oriental hair. Cheaper than Caucasian hair. And has anybody noticed Obama chews gum a lot in public, at times when he should not be chewing. Maybe nicotine gum?

#2 Much of her wardrobe reminds me of the transsexual hookers I saw in Thailand in the 1970´s. Now she has the hair to match.

Mooch needs hot pink pumps in size 14w, marked size 6 1/2.

I´ve long thought that she should be setting an example for the rest of us out here in the REAL America by buying her clothes at Walmart and Target like everyone else. 0 tells us that we´re all going to have to tighten our belts and go through some hardships in order for him to change fundamentally our country. Meanwhile, we watch her try to out-fashion the rest of the world.

She ALSO needs to lose a ***LOT*** of weight herself before telling the rest of the world that we are too heavy. Those "muscles" are just a lot of fat, too. (When I was heavier, people asked me if I´d been "pumping up" because my fat arms looked "muscular" to them.)

Bring back Laura Bush! She´s SO tasteful, unassuming SO ladylike, and such a wonderful role model for young (and older) American ladies! Wonder if we´ll EVER see the likes of her again!?! Thank goodness we´ve got Kate Middleton now, setting some reasonable and tasteful fashion trends!!

#24--Asian hair is used for wigs because it is is better, not cheaper. It generally can´t be used for lighter (ie, blond) colors however, because stripping out the basic color (which has a reddish base) damages it.

Hardly! An "indulged starlet" doesn´t get her own personal executive-jet-fitted-out 757 ´cause she can´t be bothered to wait 4 hours for her hubby.

BTW -- do you know her biggest challenge on moving into the White House? She couldn´t "order from the right side of the menu" any longer. [No prices are on it, so she had to guess at the most expensive items from past experience.]

If she were a scarlet, every lump, bump, and fake thing on her body would be called out and on the front page of some rag paper.

I still say that wig is covering up scars from some plastic surgery after the election. No one saw her while on winter vacation. It doesn´t flatter her face especially when she does the horrible thing with her lips. I think of Cosby when she purses her lips. Maybe she can pull that bottom lip up over her head.

The photo with Boner at the luncheon was something to be ashamed of. She looked drunk.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said her department has its “hands full” with the implementation of the healthcare law and cannot prepare for any immigration reform bill’s impact on health insurance costs. During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Friday, Texas Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant asked Sebelius, “Has HHS made any preparation for how to meet the added cost of providing care for the potential 10 or 12 million people that might gain permanent resident status under any kind of an immigration bill?” In response, Sebelius said, “Sir, we don’t do

Cass Sunsetein, one of President Obama’s leading left-wing, university eggheads, has penned an interesting piece in New Republic explaining how the nanny state is really a very important and useful aspect of today’s modern Democrat scheme. It’s for your own good, don’t you know? Launching his April 8 piece, “Why Paternalism Is Your Friend,” Sunstein evokes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (mostly failed, not that Sunstein says so) nanny state efforts to take away his constituents’ freedom on such things as trans fats, sodas, and guns.

Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and his wife, Huma Abedin, want you to know about Weiner’s “sexting” scandal that led him to resign from Congress in 2011, reporter Jonathan Van Meter pauses the story. Van Meter, a contributing editor at Vogue and New York Magazine, had worked diligently on this New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story – multiple interviews with Weiner and Abedin, both as a couple and separately. On some level, the prurient banality of what he was writing about must have gotten to him.

Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin urged a Senate subcommittee chairman to appropriate $1 million in federal funds for a Chicago nonprofit that is now under investigation for potential fraud, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller. Durbin’s relationship with Chicago’s embattled Save-A-Life Foundation began in the mid-1990s and continued for at least several years, with Durbin even being listed as a member of the foundation’s “Advisory Council,” according to the documents. President Barack Obama also had a relationship with Save-A-Life during his tenure as an Illinois state senator and U.S. senator, meeting with the organization’s founder and

Don’t expect First Lady Michelle Obama to continue a high-profile role in the gun control debate. Administration officials with knowledge of the White House strategy tell The Hill the first lady will not be an active part of the debate going forward, at least in terms of gun policy. Obama will instead be focused mostly on youth empowerment, as she has in recent years, continuing her mentoring programs and “Let’s Move!” her childhood obesity initiative. In a rare move, the first lady entered the national discussion on gun control earlier this week when she delivered

I’m not sure how widely it was known that Jonathan Winters, whom Robin Williams thought the best comic of his generation, was a conservative. In any case, I sometimes used to show students in my classes on the American Founding the early scene from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World” where the whole gang tries to deliberate about how to divide the loot fairly when they finally got to the site where the loot was hidden, and how it could illustrate . . . the “great compromise” of the constitutional convention of 1787 in Philadelphia.

The Republican National Committee has reaffirmed its opposition to gay marriage with a slate of resolutions passed unanimously at its spring meeting. Several resolutions re-establishing the party´s official position were adopted without discussion on Friday. One resolution states the party´s belief that "the institution of marriage is the solid foundation upon which our society is built and in which children thrive; it is based on the relationship that only a man and a woman can form." The RNC also expresses its “support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman,

During an appearance on MSNBC´s Morning Joe, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said expanded background checks are "not enough," and private gun sales cannot continue because they allow terrorists to buy guns in the United States. "Can a terrorist currently buy a gun in this country? Yes. Can a felon? Yes. You go to a gun show and virtually no questions are asked," Feinstein claimed. Joe Scarborough chimed in later in the segment to echo Feinstein´s claim, asserting, "So now we have al Qaeda terrorists saying, ´Kill Americans, it´s easy, just go to gun shows, get an assault weapon.´"

It comes on the heels of President Obama´s reelection, driven by women who gave him 58 percent of their support. In the election, 52 percent of the voters were women.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.
