[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She looked fabulous (other than the braid).  This is a perfect example of how amazing a woman can look when she embraces the right style for her face and body.  The primary impression Michelle projects is strength.  When she embraces it with strong architectural lines, tailored uniform-like clothing and angularity, she looks amazing.  The little twinsets and dirndl skirts she donned when she was first lady were so wrong for her.  She should always dress how she dressed today.  No ruffles, no florals, nothing soft or willowy.  The woman is an amazon, she should live it through her clothes without fear.[/quote]

You might not remember the enormous amount of criticism that Michelle Obama got for pretty much everything she wore or did — including a New Yorker cover sketch that depicted her (with the President) wearing camouflage, draped in bullets,  toting a rifle. To add to the subtlety of the image, she was styled with an Afro. A sleeveless dress — like Jackie Kennedy wore — was mercilessly criticized.  So she — and, Barack — dressed to be less “scary”.  She straightened her hair and wore soft clothing, and Barack wore dad-jeans.  Just some of the many sacrifices that they made for our country.  [/quote]

From what she says in her book, it was more so her hate for the spotlight that penetrated back then. She was uncomfortable with the camera, being away from her girls,  and the whole spotlight of politics and being a single mom with a dad running for Pres as the first high profile black man so she tended to scowl alot. It’s alot to deal with. Colin Powells wife didn’t allow Colin to run.

She was hurt when the media took that to mean she was a angry  or radical BW and made effort to introduce herself and who she is/her family during the 2008 DNC[/quote]
