After Lady M’s last few clothes horse outings, where she wore a couple of refried Thakoons,
Cinco Thakoon
Thakoon Surprise
…and a Moschino from the Cheap and Chic collection, (their term, not mine; I would’ve stopped after “cheap”)
Chintz on the cheap
…look what we finally managed to stuff ourselves into! Double strand pearls, high neck, sleeves covering the guns, solid jewel tone, classically cut dress.
What’s up with this? Who is she trying to throw off their game?
Who’s next?
I think the National Military Family Association Summit that MO attended yesterday in Georgetown really appreciated the effort she took to look, uh, not clownish. I sure hope the positive feedback will be enough to keep this dressing-like-a-grownup streak going, because let’s face it, some of us could use a little break.
I would like to think she dressed normal just to make me happy, but the fact is, I think the dry cleaners got Lady M’s wardrobe mixed up with Smootie’s, who always dresses classy. “Dresses white” is the way Lady M puts it. 
Seriously, if you just toss a hat on MO’s head,
and I think we’d have ourselves a bona fide Jackie!
It’s Spring: new growth, new life, hope springs eternal.
I think I need to knock off the allergy meds.

The woman in the green dress is an imposter, there are no bows, brooches, boob belts, tiny sweaters, or anything that our MO loves to wear.
ReplyDeleteIf that's her 'real' hair, I like the wighat better.
C'mon....take another look. You'd recognize her anywhere.

Did they use the same lard on her hair as on her legs?
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the back of the green number. She must have something hanging off her ass since I see nothing else that is offending. If there is nada on her butt, she disappoints me. The pearls are a little much clutter for the neckline and the fit is poor, but that is not enough. Mayhaps some purple shoes with her toes hanging over the edge and clutching on for dear life?

ReplyDeleteWow!
Holly Cow!
The military wife looks scared!
She looks like sh*t. I actually hate the green/blue dress. Is she going to a PTA meeting circa 1950s? I also agree...bring back the wig hat pronto.
ReplyDeleteA hat? Don't you think Rose Marie's black bow from the Dick Van Dyke Show would be more Michelle-ish? The bow is in mothballs at the Smithsonian so have one of her 40 dressers send a limmo for it.
ReplyDeleteMrs. P
Her hair looks bad. And that appears to be HER hair. Or at least her hair brushed back over some sort of hair enhancing device. Too dull and wiry to be those sleek, shiny Asian hair wighats she has been sporting for the last number of months.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, she looks tired, depressed, unhappy, and a mess. In no particular order.

Did you see the side view of that green dress?
ReplyDeletetight tight tight in the thunder thighs
She looks like a Clydesdale.
Clothes HORSE indeed.
How could she possibly be happy?
ReplyDeleteThe MOO is put upon. Where's her lavish vacation at taxpayer expense? Where's her cocktail dress?
Where are the crab cakes and where is her margarita?
The party girl is not pleased.
srdem:
ReplyDeleteYea, the hair was a clue. Just think of it as the early sprouts of spring, which, if nurtured and allowed to grow, will bloom into something beautiful.
I think my political skills are improving, don’t you?
“Anon2”:
I spend all day reflecting away those butt profile shots and you go and find the one that got past me. Thanks a lot for that.
Cherie:
We call that “product” Cherie, and the answer is yes.

Who wouldn’t be terrified standing almost “cheek-to-jowl” with, what Funky Town called, as she snarked her way to Golden FLOTUS fame, “the butt that ate Cincinnati”?
Granny:
She is still after that “updated Laura Petrie look”. I can’t stop her.
Mrs. P:
Maybe, butt right now, with all that’s on our plate, the less said about “Dykes” with or without Dicks or Vans, the better.
“Anon2”:
It’s not easy being FLOTUS, fashion icon, Czarrina de Diplomacia, trimmer of children’s fat behinds, organic gardener and busy mom.
Anon2:
No one was supposed to see that. Clydesdale? Aren’t those the horses that pull that Budweiser wagon? I think they’re cute, so I guess that’s a compliment, isn’t it?
Anon3:
Oh, FLOTUS knows how to par-tay at the taxpayer’s expense. Just wait for our next “date night”. But we never wear our cocktail dresses unless we’re going to a military funeral. Oh, and by the way: we never talk about Lady M’s crab-cakes.
Did anyone else see the picture of Michellin in a dress from the back with big tucks taken in it held with straight pins to make the dress really tight. Was that on this site or somewhere else. I can't remember. Why would anyone allow a picture be taken of that. It was obvious she wants her fit snug. There's something unbalanced there.
ReplyDeletethe roots most likely have a weave attached to them, like black actresses wear. Except they don't let their roots show.
ReplyDeleteWho's this "Gerard" that's leading in the voting? I bet he's the one BO and his friends keep talking about...the redneck, slimy thug, country club elite, rich fat cat, violence prone, anti-American, Glen Beck listener, Sarah supporter, i-Pod user, stupid, spitter, uhhh. Hmmmm. That's me they're talking about.
ReplyDeleteSorry Gerard, my bad.
Perhaps Chuck was referring to this Junye Watanabe, with the sequined argyle front, that wore her in London:

This sweater - the one that buttoned off-kilter, on purpose.

Sweater not pinned down back. It was intended to close that way.
Pathetic, no?

From the pix I've seen around the web of that green dress, it looks as though MO began the day with boobs that, over the course of the day, deflated until she had that familiar ironing-board look in front. Of course the back still resembled a '58 Buick, but the front was definitely disappearing like Obama-Biden bumper stickers.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Granny Jan. She looks terrible. The dress is a flop, a cheap color, and reminds me of the Walmart 75% off rack. MOO does not suit pearls. She would look much more classy in a brushed finish gold chain. And what is up with that horror on her head?? She looks like Dr. Zira. Someone please tell this nincompoop that a hair line is not a fuzzy mess that wanders up the forehead to the scalp.
ReplyDeleteStand Up Chuck:
ReplyDeleteOh, God love ya Chuck, what am I thinkin’ ... Nobody was supposed to see that!

As I mentioned before, they are just spring sprouts. Give them a little time to grow.
srdem65:
Gerard is one of my hunky MODs (Mean Old Dudes). He has a really cool blog called American Digest .
Except for being a boy, and having a huge Chicago style voting machine, he’s just like you.
Oh, and did you see Portia’s request to add “if it zips, it fits” to the product line? It’s in the Snark Attack: 6 comments.
“Anon2”:
Kooky cardigan, Kooky gal.
Portia:
There’s just no substitute for a good sturdy boob belt if you want Lady M to reflect the image of boobs all day long.
Sorry, but I must speak truth to cleavage.
bettyann:
We’ll be tending to the new spring growth hairline in a couple of weeks when the sprouts are a little stronger. Lots of organic nutrients and a little weeding will have us back in the spotlight before you know it.
