She would have been more attractive in a face covering burka.

I thought the FLOTUS had on a Halloween costume.

The comic character Shirley Q. Liquor commented on Michelle's poofy red print dress at the Dem Convention as follows: "She looked like a two-toned push-up Popsicle in a Mary Tyler Moore wig." (honey)

If floral couch material is your choice of dressing- Michelle does well.
She wears it like a Mack Truck

According to the press, every Democratic woman is the most beautiful, stylish perfect woman ever. Every Republican/conservative woman is awful....Think how classy and beautiful Laura Bush always looks. Think how dropdead gorgeous Sarah Palin always looked, Michelle Bachman....but the press has nothing kind to say---ever--about these ladies. Ann Romney will experience the same thing, despite the fact that she, too , is gorgeous and stylish and looks way younger than her years. Very telling.

Wasn't overwhelmed by either dress, but if I had to pick it would be Mrs. Romney. Michelle is just sloppy looking and what a drab color choice.

Michelle looks like a wallflower who was asked to dance to the last song.

She really needs a backup beeper

I suspect Mrs Romney doesn't worry too much about the latest proclamations from the fashion gurus. I think she's secure in her own skin and doesn't need affirmation from know-it-alls. She has a lot of women backing her in that.

I didn't care for either of their outfits. Mrs. Romney looks much better in suit dresses. Just my two cents!

#8, thanks for the great laugh!

Michelle seems attracted to dresses with fussy treatments, like lace, beads, applique--and don't forget that two-toned devil dress from Grant Park. Not good looks for such a big woman, and I can't stand the frequent bare arms, though she seems to be covering up more lately. Weight gain?

Mrs. Romney seems comfortable in her own skin--wearing things that usually flatter, and dabbling in various styles. But she never looks inappropriate, which you can't say about Mrs. Obama.

For this occasion, I think the green dress Ann Romney wore was more suitable than Michelle Obama's was.

In our family we have always called things like Moochelle's "a dumb dress"... Not good, not bad, just dumb.

The kind of dress one might pick up as a steal after three markdowns, then get it home and wonder forever "why wear that?" when so many things would look so much better.

Muddy grey and black lace are awful on a dark black woman like Mooch. And the placement of the lace emphasizes her linebacker shoulders and wide-load butt while diminishing her already diminished boobs. She was said to have added the belt, which places an eye-catching bow just above that rear protuberance.

Bleah.

I was not crazy about Anne Romney's dress, but I don't like many prints. But she looked comfortable in it - and happy. The Romney's interaction with each other and their big family is the most attractive thing about them. The Obots looked like a couple of orphans on the dais after the debate.

…that anyone could consider the Big Moo a fashion setter borders on the bizarre. This gargantuan has been named to that role by various RAT bloggers who would love to have her worthy of the title as she oils her bowed and bare legs, wears clothes that are at least 2 sizes too small, 8 inches too short, and highlight her thunder thighs or thong underpants. And when you throw in her retread belts made from rubber that flies off 18 wheelers on freeways…what does one say except, "sorry, dear, you just don't get it, do you?"

The grey and black lace number last night...at least she's consistent in wearing something all wrong as usual. Ann Romney has a natural fashion sense and knows enough to wear clothes that fit and to leave the cheap and tacky 5' wide plastic pins in the trash for someone else to find. She not only looks lovely and gracious, she is and I'll bet we wait a long time to see her with legs crossed in a way-too-short-skin-tight-dress while being photographed from below a stage, or see her schlumping down the steps of Airforce one wearing cutoff bluejean shorts, one of those incredibly awful tops, and her hair pulled back making her look like she just got up 15 minutes before getting on the plane.

After #14 gets warmed up, she'll come back and tell us what she really thinks!

(Great post!)

Meeeeeee-OWWWWWWWW!
(-;

Who cares? Why is this important?

The fashionistas have been way off-track throughout the past 4 years! Who can possibly now pay any attention to their frumpy design opinions?

It's interesting and fun.

I don't take much interest in articles about clothes. However, a few months ago I saw a photo of Michelle in her high school prom dress. I must say that one took my attention. The skirt was slit almost to her crotch and exposed a very shaply leg. She looked good in it but it was not my idea of a dress suitable for a young girl.

It's the Daily Mail: they've been having fun with Michelle's clothes for the last for years. Always the deadpan description, accompanied by these REALLY BIZARRE photographs ;-)

Dunno what they're going to do once Barry and Michelle are gone. Zero in on Prince Andrew's daughters, I guess - they don't seem to have any taste either.

Mooch has no bigger s@ck-ups on the planet than the fashion critics.

I don't care much about Michelle Obama's clothes, some of them are fine and some are awful. What I am really tired of is how the press is determined to make us yokels understand that she has the greatest fashion sense since Jackie O. She doesn't. And neither does whoever dresses her.

#8, now THAT'S funny! Thanks for the laugh!

Poster 14, those shorts that stumbled off AF-1 are proof that this woman is not a fashionista and I don't care how many designers or magazines try to tell us that she is. No woman with great style and a chic fashion sense would be caught dead in those shorts, with hot mess hair, riding on AF-1 much less stepping off AF-1 into the public eye. Even the "ladies" on the Housewives shows could teach her a thing or two about dressing. They know the cameras are always on.

hell will freeze over before that old nag looks good in anything but a oat bag around her neck

Sorry, but why should we let women vote if this, and access to free birth control, is the paramount concern in these times?

...and then there's those godawful eyebrows, painted about an inch above her natural brow line, causing her to have a surprised look, like she just stuck a fork in the toaster.

I sometimes suspect her make-up and wardrobe "assistants" are Republican moles.

ROTFLMAO #3!!! (Gurrrrrl)

michelle always reminds me of a man in drag, she's very masculine (i guess that's what barack sees in her). it makes for interesting fantasy play during sex.
and she always stuffs her huge feet into kitten heels..not a good look.
ann (IMO)looks like the quintessential first lady...grace, beauty and dignity.

Anna Wintour, Vogue fashion queen notified all designers to not offer clothes to Mrs. Romney or expect her wrath. When she called Oscar De La Renta on the carpet for Anne wearing their dress to the 1st debate, their PR firm confirmed they did not work with her and would never send her clothes... that Mrs. Romney buys their clothes off the rack.

Nice people, eh?
