    Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue: That's the best you can do, fancy fashion mag?

    The long anticipated Michelle Obama Vogue cover is out and we are (sigh) kind of unimpressed. What's going on, Vogue? You have a bazillion dollars to produce a photo shoot and all you can think of is to put our first lady in a boring pink dress and have her posed awkwardly over the side of a beige chaise lounge? I mean, I'm not suggesting in this day and age (or ever) it would be a good idea to glam-bot the president's wife in some nonsensical couture, but this is the very magazine that not so long ago transformed Hillary Clinton into a regal, fashiony goddess. We know they can do better. This cover could be from Good Housekeeping and that is not what The Devil Wears Expensive Crap/Vogue is supposed to be.

    The inside story, however, is pretty amazing. Michelle Obama continues to inspire us with her grace, intelligence, and no nonsense approach to almost everything-including style.

    For example, this quote:

    "I love clothes," she admits. "First and foremost, I wear what I love. That's what women have to focus on: what makes them happy and what makes them feel comfortable and beautiful. If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion."

    Yay, Michelle! Forget trends or as Vogue says elsewhere on its cover "Every Look That Matters," Ms. Obama has (what we feel) is the ideal attitude about clothes- and it's refreshing and positive to hear it articulated by one of the most famous women in the world.

    Also loved this:

    "We want entertaining in the White House to feel like America, that we are reminded of all the many facets of our culture. The Latino community, the Asian-American community, the African-American community.…Hip-hop, spoken word-we want to bring the youth in, for them to hear their voices in this... We want to make sure that our young people remember and understand what classical music is, who some of the great American artists are…"


    And this quote made me cry, just a little:

    "We learned in our household that there was nothing you couldn't talk about and that you found humor in even some of the toughest times. I want to bring that spirit of warmth, openness, and stability to my task."

      Someone commented on the first page of comments saying that "even if you are tired of her you only are saying that because you dont understand her so take a minute and try toi figure out who your working with."

      Give me a break. I know who she is, and I'm still tired of all of the nonsense being spewed about her.

      omg! so michelle is a super gorgeous lady but that pink and that beige is not making her stand out like it should. Not that she needs much either. i absolutely love the way she thinks about putting women and fashion together and making someone feel better about themselves.
    • dancer107  •  3 years 3 months ago
      i completely agree!she looks very uncomfortable and the mag. shouldn't try to bring polotics into it.

      WTF does that mean? Blah , blah, blah. Michelle Obama, just keep your mouth shut until you have something meaningful to say. Blah, blah, blah, fluff, fluff, fluff, crap, crap, crap. Pharmstat said it all, "Barf"!
    • Malika Harris  •  3 years 3 months ago

    • Wedding  •  3 years 3 months ago
      Cherry Holiday...who made u a prophet (of doom). Cos u don't understand greatness does not mean that u have to exhibit ur ignorance to the world. u should know that u are fighting a lost battle...and can't stand to go down alone, so ure trying to pull d Obama's wit u?! That can't happen b...ch! Your ignorance is so obvious and irritaing that we all can smell miles off! GO GET A LIFE! And don't meddle or talk about what you TOTALLY know nothin about. Go check ur lineage, I'm sure the AntiChrist is gonna come down ur line real soon...so I suggest u WATCH UR BACK!
    • Matt L  •  3 years 3 months ago
      Cherry, It really scares me that you think President Obama is the anti-christ. That's a republican for you...My god or no god.
    • Julia  •  3 years 3 months ago
      There is something about her that consistently looks evil (eyes, especially), for lack of a more tactful term. I hope I'm wrong.

      Hey Samx, I left you a message on your blog.
      NO MEDS!!!!!!!!!!
      But the little green people scare me when I cannot have my meds. The people that put me in the I love me jacket are getting meaner.

      She is not classy.. hardly. Jackie O was classy, Laura Bush is classy. Michelle Obama is a "wannabe" and nothing more. The cover picture says it all! Shouldn't she have better things to be doing? Maybe raising her children...
