      She dresses like a 5 year old who has found Mommy’s old trunk of high school clothes and the Christmas wrapping paper in the attic.

      I only wish she did her own makeup. ‘Why so Michelle?’ could be a new meme.

      Gotta admit I’m so unplugged from hip fashion that dressing up, to me, anymore, is wearing something that has a “dry clean only” tag in it. That said, however, I really haven’t seen many “boob belts”. Is that really her ‘signature’ in fashion?

      She’s so into herself, she doesn’t realize how Freakin stupid she looks. And she’s paying people to do that to her at the expense of us tax payers….oh wait, I just lost my job because of barry, so, i guess I’ll have to be on barry’s side now?

      I don’t think so. I’m prepared.

      I figured it out.
      All the “big name” fashion designers make their “creations” with the intent to look good on anorexic 15 year olds who model them at shows.
      Then they want to use MOOCH for publicity, but they are too stupid to realize this crap looks even worse on her.
      Even though you CAN put lipstick on a pig nobody will want to kiss it….

      2) Go back and re-read “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
      Now rewrite this article. Accurately, if you can.

      A few of her outfits aren’t to bad…please don’t hit me.

      But the majority are just plain cringe worthy. Most first ladies aren’t trying to make a splash good or bad. It’s called good taste, and either you have it or you don’t and Moochelle ain’t got it.

      The trypech of fool’s gold is my favorite.
      But that is coming from an engineer who wears hawaiian shirts and crocs year round.
      I really could careless what anyone wears even to the point if they wear nothing at all. But if you are first lady and living high on my taxpayer’s dime, don’t live like it is an unending trough to feed from.

      What CAN she be thinking of in these horrible outfits? What’s the deal with the wide black belly band added to several outfits? Do not the designers know how to gently give her some fashion advice? If my name was on her clothing labels I’d sure try to guide her a little better.

      That IS the woman who is supposed to be representative of what America looks like to the entire world. This is what all of them see.

      In that case, you could say that she is well dressed because her husband has turned the country into trash.

      She isn’t very bright. Those designers are laughing all the way to the bank as she plucks the latest disaster from a sycophant’s hands and crawls into it.

      The ASPCF (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fabrics) will arrest her right after Romney’s inauguration for making all those thousands of yards of silk scream as she stretched it across her ass. Chinese moths have dubbed her, “The Crack of Doom.”

      Even Mario Battagli’s hideous orange Crocs are out-hideofied by Mooch-elle’s dress.

      BTW – in regards to Crocs, I can’t say it any better than the terrorist character in “The Dictator” movie, “Good God, man! Crocs are the universal symbol of the man who has given up all hope!”

      Crocs are damn near as bad as fluoridated water.
