I did not now that Dart Vader had a sister.

[kbkw54]

The outfit looks like the bride of Frankenstein. LOL

[alsm9]

Why are they all in black? They look like they are going to a funeral. Strange.

[osocubano]

Not exactly a funeral, but they ARE visiting a mummy...

[boynxtdoor]

Such disrespect. Sounds like you're used to it. Were your parents around when you were growing up?

Peace.

[kbkw54]

This is so ugly, how could she wear stuff like this?

[eshaneua]

Yeah she was only honored by the fashion industry for an AWARD; what does she know about fashion? And of course, I'm being sarcastic! Anything this woman wears is BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Nuff said.

[julesbh]

I don't like the black outfit, I think a suit would have looked nicer. She has too much going on.

[Mr Hand]

Yikes - MO is a scary woman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ItHadToBeSaid]

Well, I can understand that. A statuesque, intelligent, accomplished woman would inti. midate the he// out of a belowaverage whtguy such as yourself. Yep. I can certainly understand . . .

[Mr Hand]

Statuesque ? More like a linebacker with a beard :-)

[protagonia]

You are scared of women?

No wonder you are called "Mr Hand"!!

LOL!!!

Clown.

:)

[protagonia]

Good Lord you made that easy.

Thank you for the little vacation!

:)

[antifluff]

It looks like she does not appreciate having access to a holy man. I wonder what faces she would make if she were meeting with the DaliLama or a cleric.

[hilaritee]

what are you talking about? she smiled at him....did fox news send you?

[protagonia]

antifluff is a paid troII. A traitorous Iiar.

[protagonia]

You have nothing!

LOL!

Perfect.

:)

[dragonfly2x]

Love the woman, but she's a fashion disaster..­. My life allows for a very casual attire... but if I were going to those kinds of places and meeting those kinds of people with her budget??? UH HUH...

[kbkw54]

This has got to be the worst dressed First lady in history. Is she the tallest too?

[davidmichaelsmith]

Genuflection would have probably really gotten everyone excited.

[Marnieblue]

You are worried about her spending tax payer dollars at JCrew?

[julesbh]

Does anyone know if it was protocol for their girls to wear black to the vatican? Just curious.

[mrsgm]

Not that I know of. I was communion ed in Vatican City by Pope John Paul with a huge group of children as a kid. We all wore white. I remember going to classes there and all we had to wear was respectable uniforms.

[julesbh]

Thanks, I don't like seeing young kids in black.

[sweetwhine]

Michelle looks unbelievable young in these series of pictures. I think she is so lovely. Such grace and such class.

[mrskorn]

Less is more would be more classy. Too much stuff happening with her outfits.

[mrsgm]

Kudos. She looks like a first lady, not a fashionista.
