"Michelle Obama’s flair for fashion has captivated Washington and set the hearts of glossy magazine editors aflutter. She has already eclipsed Carla Bruni, the super-model chanteuse and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, the hyperactive French president (((dream on, British press – the supermodel chanteuse has got plenty of Haitian orphages in the charity arsenal, not to mention real, deadly-serious couturiers))). Not since Diana, Princess of Wales, has there been such a glamorous role model at the apex of society.
In her white, one-shouldered chiffon gown, (((drool))) she boogied to Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours and slow-danced with her husband at a succession of inaugural balls. Barack Obama held her lovingly around the waist, clasping two fingers around her back, and nuzzled her. Women’s Wear Daily, the influential American fashion magazine, (((The Pravda of the Prada-Meinhof Gang))) said her ball gown made the Obamas look like newlyweds. (...)
Michelle, 45, has a theatrical sense of style, from off-the-rack colourful clothes from J Crew at less than $100 a throw, to pricey designer outfits such as the sparkling lemongrass matching dress and coat...
(((Personally, I'm waiting for the fashion press to compare Carla and Michelle to some women who don't get run over in speeding cars or shot at by assassins.)))
(((Maybe, if they and I live long enough, I'll see political spouses compared to Carla and Michelle.)))
