This morning we brought you Tank Tops for Tea Time.
Can someone even explain what the hell this fashion fiasco is all about?
Will the slobbering media chortle at this disaster or will we be subjected to another fawning series of Jackie O comparisons?
When even the HuffPosters notice, you've got a problem.
So much for that First Lady of Fashion nonsense.
Ace links, and riffs like only he can.
Plus, he provides the palate cleanser of Mrs. Sarkozy, who is inexplicably being linked with Mrs. O.
In a report, Tina Brown suggested that Nicolas Sarkozy's wife -- a former model, who is still smokin' hot -- did not join the Obama's on this trip because Mrs. Sarkozy -- the model, remember, who is as well-put together as anyone -- because she feared she'd be compared "unfavorably" to the sublimely beautiful Michelle Obama.To wit:
The media does this frequently with women they like -- we had to endure sixteen years of deadpan insistence that Hillary Clinton was "beautiful," for example. But never to this extent.
I don't mind some light let's-pretend-to-be-nice flattery of a quite average looking woman like Hillary or Michelle Obama. Women's looks are always commented upon -- even though in a supposedly enlightened age they shouldn't be, especially by the press, at the vanguard of sexual enlightenment -- and if you're forced to comment on an average woman's appearance, sure, occasionally claim she's "beautiful." Just to be polite.
This insistence -- apparently on the square, too -- that the gargantuan sasquatch Michelle Obama is beautiful and puts to shame a top fashion model is positively ludicrous.
Update: Ouch.
Again, the cardigan stopped exactly where it accentuated Mrs. Obama’s worst feature: her hips.
Please, give up the cardigan.
And while you’re at it, stand up straight, shoulders back, chin up. Be proud of being tall. I know I am.
