Slog - Comments on Mrs. O http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/mrs_o Posted with Mark Mitchell in mind (and with suspicions that he already knows about this)... A newish blog devoted to the fashion choices of Michelle Obama. The review of today's White House appearance: The coral-red silk crepe sheath features three-quarter sleeves, an empire waist and a high neckline with a burst of sunray pleats emanating from the collar. Purchased several months ago, but not yet worn to a major event, [Maria] Pinto thought Mrs. O might debut it for election night. Mrs. O accessorized the look with simple gold hoop earrings and patent leather red heels. We have to say,...

Sorry, it's just been so long since I could say that about a First Lady ...

Actually, I can't even remember being able to say that. Ever.

I can't remember which one, though.

Michelle is a pretty woman, and she dresses well (with the exception of the blood-splatter dress on the night of the election). She has the real potential to be a White House trend setter, for sure. She sure made Laura Bush look frumpy today.

All this stuff is a crutch for weak-minded Americans who need a royal family to ogle.

Poor Michelle Obama, if she's going to be judged like this for the next 100 years! How can anyone accomplish anything, if they're going to be rated about whether they look "tired'?!

Jackie K-O simply aped Paris fashion with a half-decade lag. Michelle O is much more doing her own thing. But fashion itself has come along way since then to, so in all fairness she has a lot more to chose from. Plus she's more interesting because she's not just some tarted up bit of old money tail.

Now we know the liberal media is cowtowing to the obamas if they let that one slide.

Just awful. It was like watchign a fire engine.

She's gorgeous. But this dress was a catastrophe.
