[derby378]

8. Here's a teabagger's response

Oh, big surprise that it's a RED dress, isn't it? Commie Red, too, just like Republicans are red, you...uh...yeah, that's right, we're red and the Demoncrats are blue, uh...

I think I just screwed myself over big time. Must soak head in Lysol now.

:rofl:

[tavalon]

15. Commie Red!

LOL. That is so retro.

I think the dress is gorgeous.

[Brother Buzz]

25. Michelle Obama could make a flour sack dress look gorgeous

That a fact, Jack.

[tavalon]

29. True enough

[Pancho Sanza]

37. You have it exactly bass ackward

A flour sack would make her look beautiful.

jeeze...

[Brother Buzz]

40. I stand by my statement

[Hannah Bell]

19. red -- that was nancy reagan's signature color. i didn't know she was a commie.

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=nancy+reagan+red&cp=15&wrapid=tljp1295481472328016&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1003&bih=567

you can get more or less the same result with just a search for "nancy reagan" -- her wardrobe was *that* red.

and she wore it in china -- omg!!

52. In China red is considered an auspicious color.

[malaise]

22. LOL

:rofl:

[CatWoman]

27. Hu's on first?

[MilesColtrane]

54. Is Commie Red one of the standard Crayola colors?

[Tx4obama]

16. Yes, but click on the link I posted to see the BACK of the dress and close up of her hair :) n/t

[Major Hogwash]

47. Oh my.

She has really sexy shoulders.
This will drive all of the vampires nutz.

[malaise]

14. Love the one with him looking at her

Sweet.

[MindandSoul]

32. Beautiful dress for a beautiful firs lady!

[opihimoimoi]

11. Stunning...Bravo.....Good choice

[shireen]

13. Most stunning first lady ever!!!

:bounce:

[Fleshdancer]

18. Absolutely beautiful!

Is there a color that doesn't look good on her btw? She's lucky I'm not the jealous type! :rofl:

[Kalyke]

48. Not to rain on a parade, but she, like me (I'm olive-complexed) cannot

wear any pastels outside of some accent pastel green (and she could wear lavender, which I can't do).

She does look STUNNING in the dress and I've made my mind up to get some more red as a result. I look good in it, I should wear red and emerald green more often.

Thanks, Michelle!

[Tx4obama]

20. More INFO regarding the dress

From http://mrs-o.org/

First Lady Michelle Obama wears a red petal print silk organza gown by Alexander McQueen to tonight's state dinner at the White House. The color, red, is not a surprise, as it connotes courage, loyalty, honor, success, fortune, fertility, happiness and passion in Chinese culture. The choice of designer is more of a surprise, and a wonderful honor to the late designer Alexander McQueen.

[malaise]

24. Thanks

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

33. McQueen? Really??

This surprises me. I hate that he's not here to appreciate this. :(

[Stevenmarc]

46. Not many women in the beltway could pull off McQueen

Thankfully we have a First Lady that can.

[Matariki]

21. Don't like the falling off one shoulder look too much.

But Michelle Obama looks fabulous and can pull off just about anything. On someone less glamorous that dress would make the wearer look like they've had a bit too much plum wine.

[Justitia]

23. Beautiful! She always looks fantastic in really formal settings. -eom

[spanone]

28. fab....

[Kceres]

30. She could make a potato sack look classy. nt

[Tx4obama]

31. Two more pages of photos on the below DayLife link

[Kennah]

34. What's the matter with me?

This reminds me of all the blather when it reported Mrs. Obama wore "short shorts" on a trip to Arizona. I dove to click the link then, and I did it again today, I think mostly expecting to see more flesh.

[politicasista]

35. It is. Very beautiful n/t

[madrchsod]

36. we had a running comment about laura`s awful taste in clothes and...

now we have a first lady that knows how to dress. it`s like a fresh breeze to us fashion critics.....

[Raine]

38. Usually I love Michelle's clothing choices but

I think this dress is horrible. It does absolutely nothing for her, she has a great figure shouldn't hide it in that sack. :-(

[juajen]

51. I disagree. I think she looks lovely and very statuesque. NT

[Withywindle]

39. She has serious style.

I think it helps that she's so tall. And proud of it, she doesn't slouch like a lot of tall women do.

[lunatica]

45. Who are those two guys with her?

Talk about out shining everyone! Michelle can do it.

[Tx4obama]

49. President Obama does a great job representing his gender ;)

[madmax]

50. Is it me or is that a baby bump.

That would be fantastic!! :bounce:

What you guys think?

[Liquorice]

55. I seriously doubt it. She is 47 years old. nt

[MilesColtrane]

53. Easily the hottest First Lady since Jackie...

[sabrina 1]

56. It's a beautiful dress ~

[calimary]

57. She looks like a queen, or an empress, or a grand duchess.

Very regal and elegant. Makes you want to stand straighter. If THAT is the current political "role model" that symbolizes the American Woman, then we should all be VERY proud! I've never seen her try to get by, having worn the upholstery, or as one photo farther up demonstrates - a blue pinata, like the last woman in the First Lady position. Ugh! Michelle Obama on the other hand is the epitome of style and class and elegance. She's the closest thing we have now to the Jackie legend.
