Michelle Obama bares arms. Media goes wild.
Aside from saving the economy and fighting for world peace, we will also be spending the next four years over-analyzing and debating Michelle Obama’s right to bare arms.
Everyone from the NY Times Caucus blog, NPR and Wall Street Journal to the Huffington Post, Vanity Fair and Vogue are fascinated by the First Lady’s wardrobe choices. I like that she supports up-and-coming fashion designers, in addition to being a runway inspiration.
I mean, is it written somewhere that the First Lady has to wear pastel church suits?
As I work in the creative business, I support her pushing-the-envelope kind of style. Good for her for breaking the rules (if such a church-suit rule exists).
Disagree? Let me know. I find the “supporters of the stuffy suit” arguments quite amusing.
I think everyone is just used to seeing the First Lady in full coverage — mostly due to the fact that the previous First Ladies were older and didn’t want to see their arm wiggle as they wave to the crowd. Michelle Obama looks awesome and she should keep showing it off!
I wonder what Cindy McCain would be wearing if John McCain won the presidential race. She’s 54 and I for sure didn’t expect her to be in a red, v-neck spaghetti strap dress for a Haper’s Bazaar interview. ( http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/feature-articles/cindy-mccain-0707 )
I think she looks fabulous for her age.
Agreed on the arm wiggle. yeesh.
