Thanks for the video 1088. I didn't know Michelle O knew sign language. I wonder what are her other hidden talents. Our first lady is so fascinatin­g.

Now, THAT I didn't know. Thanks for sharing that clip. She just continues to impress (and in so doing, riles 'em up and makes the h8ters h8). It's a win-win. I'm lovin' it !!!!

I love our First Lady, but that dress is hideous...­.and I hate those kitten heels.

She should go back to wearing her high heels and towering over everyone..­..screw it!

Better than usual. Still hate those shoes.

who cares what you hate? don't buy them and don't wear them.it is that simple. maybe next time she will check with what you hate before stepping out!!

[eleanorhawking]

11:14 AM on 04/12/2010

Mornin' Ralph. Of course she won't check with me! Are you daft? She can continue to wear them, and I can continue to say I think they're awful. Ain't life grand?

Does this talk involve Michelle Obama, the subject of this thread?

Dear HP, please stop with the gigantic photos. In order to make comments these days you have to scroll past the long photos, past all the Twitter junk . . . then if you hit the new comments button or the "Next" button it flips to the bottom of the page and you have to go back up and down again. It's getting ridiculous­.

[NevaforLeadership]

I like the large, zoomed-in photos.

[palmsflorida]

11:37 AM on 04/12/2010

Hey I have to agree with you! I thought I was alone in this but glad to hear someone else thinks having to scroll down what seems an eternity somedays is ridiculous­. I even get the same comments when I hit next!!

" she is an amazing women" a commen I have read many many times over and over again. Please explain what is amazing about her. many women have her kind of degrees (but they use i)t, any other amazing things MO has accomplish­ed?and again it does not take money to dress fashionabl­y but sense of style and yes it is very important for women to dress well.

[raphaella]

still bitter???? go get laid.it will help you release all that stuff which is eating away at you.
don't thank me.free advice!

[america123]

05:38 PM on 04/11/2010

Why is it "bitter" ? it is an honest assessment­. if you really care so much you will stop being a sycophant and be truthful in all your comments.

She can write and punctuate a grammatica­lly correct sentence. You should be amazed because you surely can't.

[philohooke]

I know this is listed in Style News but how she dresses is so beside the point.
She is an amazing women.

'''She is an amazing women.'''

yes she is

[jingles32]

Yes she is!
Yes she can!
Yes she does!!!

How she dresses obviously isn't beside the point. The number of comments pieces about her outfits generates is proof of that.

Image is a huge part of one's persona. If she were a dowdy dresser in, say, lace up shoes, matronly outfits, no makeup and unkempt hair, I guarantee she would not generate the same interest in her causes and good works.

Poor thing is starting to get Varicose Veins. Not a happy thing for anyone. Loved her dress.

[ywcachieve]

01:41 PM on 04/11/2010

Her legs do not have varicose veins. I have seen her legs too many times. That photo of her right leg, is misreprese­nted.

[WA-violins]

01:27 AM on 04/12/2010

Well, just fire that photograph­er for misreprese­nting her leg!

[jingles32]

02:39 PM on 04/11/2010

Psst! Varicose and Veins are not proper nouns, but then again you wouldn't know one if you saw one, cleary.

[earthquaker42]

02:57 PM on 04/11/2010

a proper noun or a varicose vein?

[U347464]

I like her hair like this better without the extensions­. She clearly took them out and also got a relaxer.

[ywcachieve]

01:07 PM on 04/11/2010

She has NEVER had extensions­.

[ywcachieve]

01:08 PM on 04/11/2010

Her hair was longer, she got it cut.

[PoliSci2008]

Whew! Thank Goodness the dress isn't tight! For that, I''ll even ignore the green shoes.

For those who have been watching her since the beginning of the Administra­tion, she has improved. Remember last year this same time when she visited government offices in T-shirts and capris?

[maiali]

04:11 AM on 04/11/2010

Stop lying.

[ena]

11:20 AM on 04/11/2010

It is my sincere hope that PolySci200­8 isn't actually majoring in political science because it would probably take as many colleges or more for PS to get the degree as SP did to get hers. SP attended 4 low grade colleges before she finally got a degree in communicat­ions & journalism­?

[HypocriticalSpamazon]

12:37 PM on 04/11/2010

Link to one picture of the First Lady in t-shirts and capris when visiting government offices. Or go down in history as a liar.

as she walked the of the dress looked like 2 bulldogs fighting to get out...

Cardigan may be sunny, but it surely looks sloppy as part of an outfit for the White House event --
more like what suburban mom would throw on to deal with a/c at the movies. According to reports,
she sounded like an executive as this briefing on "her" project, but sure didn't look like one.

Maybe the Mommy role is a deliberate choice?

Anyway, read here for some substance:

I'm not a fan of cardigans either, but they are very much IN; and, unlike the belts she wears sometimes, it goes really well with the outfit. I expect it was designed for the outfit. Very appropriat­e.
