Michelle's $600 sneakers are fugly-ass ugly.  Gah.  
Looks like an enormous campfire.  I'll have to row over and peruse.  


I see that even on the fashion site, where the original article is, the libtards and cons are at each others throats.

Romney gave 7 million dollars to charity (15%)

Obama (because he doesn't want the bad publicity because in the past he's given 1%) gave 6%

Biden gave $369

125. Savior? If anything she'll help tank his campaign

Everytime she speaks she reminds everyone that she is a woman of wealth and has no clue how to related us common folks.

If Michelle Obama was going to wear a t-shirt for an interview she'd find some $30 Silk T-shirt from Talbots

Silk T-shirts at Talbots are $80.  But they don't come in your size.

DUmp humor;  as usual, makes no sense:

105. someone with that taste should not be decorating our White House

Can you imagine what Christmas at the Romney WH would look like?

Eeek!

Well, they wouldn't put up Mao Tse Tung Christmas bulbs, I can tell you that. 

Ann would also probably arrange the strawberries on her pie very carefully, especially if she knew it was going to be photographed.


Come to think of it, I can see a Romney Christmas White House decorated with impeccable taste.

9. Totally Out of Touch

Just a variation of "let them eat cake," or, "I got mine, f - - - you."


So Michelle Obama wearing $600.00 shoes, a $2400.00 dress to the State of the Union Address, and a $4,000.00 dress to the correspondence dinner doesn't make her out of touch? You liberals prove more everyday just how pathetic and stupid you are.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, complained the government’s $600 economic stimulus check was only enough to buy “a pair of earrings” while stumping for her husband.

“You're getting $600 - what can you do with that?” Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan last week. “Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

Unreal.
Last month at the Kids’ Choice Awards, Michelle Obama wore an outfit designed by New York-based, uber-expensive designer, Wes Gordon.  His clothing commands prices in the thousands of dollars and can only be found in the elite stores of the super wealthy.  If you enjoy spending more than $4,000 on a pair of shorts…yes that is three zeroes after the comma…then you might like this little jacket from one of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers.  It’s a steal for only $2,250.  Of course, we never heard one peep out of the Liberal mainstream media on Michelle Obama’s high-priced clothing.

But, that all changed now that Mitt Romney has become the presumptive Republican nominee for president.

Suddenly, the media is very interested in Ann Romney’s choice of pricey clothes…

The fashion house that makes the nearly $1,000 blouse worn by Ann Romney on morning television earlier this week tells ABC News that they had nothing to do with the wardrobe choice, remarking that they’d prefer to stay out of politics.

“We had nothing to do with it,” a rep for designer Reed Krakoff said. “She must have bought it from Saks or Bergdorf’s, we definitely didn’t send it to her.”

“It’s 100 percent a Reed Krakoff shirt, but we 100 percent didn’t send it to her,” the rep added. “We don’t get involved politically.”

The shirt, an item in the label’s 2012 Spring/Summer collection, retails for $990, and for those shopping, is called the “The Reed Audubon Silk Shirt.”

The price of the shirt was first reported by the style blog Stylite.com.

Mrs. Romney does not have a stylist, according to an aide with the Romney campaign, and is likely to have purchased the shirt on her own.

A spokeswoman for the Romney campaign declined to comment on Mrs. Romney’s fashion choices.

This isn’t the first time that Mrs. Romney has been tweaked on her fashion choices.

In March, a little girl on the ropeline at a campaign event in Illinois asked Mrs. Romney if her watch was “real.”

Since the MSM has developed a new interest in high-end clothing, here’s a glimpse of Michelle Obama’s expensive, designer wardrobe worn during her $4M tax payer-funded jaunt to Hawaii last December.

...I guess I see their point though, $900 for a shirt with a giant fish face seems excessive – butt you know how those out-of-touch rich white people, spending their own money, are.

At least Ann got two sleeves for her $900. At twice the price, Lady M’s one shouldered Jean Paul Gaultier doesn’t seem to be good value. Then again, it didn’t cost her anything.

The first closet has increasingly become a subject of interest since Michelle Obama swept fashionably into the White House in her Jason Wu ball gown.

Yesterday, Ann Romney’s clothes stole the spotlight as she wore a fashionable top on Tuesday for an appearance with her husband on CBS “This Morning.” Politico reported that the Reed Krakoff shirt would “cost you a pretty penny,” at $990.

But Mrs. Romney will need to step up her fashion game if she wants to fill the shoes of Mrs. Obama.

In March, the first lady visited her British counterpart Samantha Cameron wearing a L’Wren Scott sweater in a trendy bright yellow hue. The embellished cardigan costs $2,720.

Obama, widely regarded as a fashion icon, likes the brand so much that she wore a peach cardigan from the same line last week during the Take Your Child to Work Day festivities.

The next day, she wore another sweater from L’Wren Scott, this one white with red trim from the Spring 2011 ready to wear collection, for a visit to Fort Stewart with the president.

She has been a fan of the brand’s cardigans since at least 2010, when she wore this black and white number to a childhood obesity event.

The first lady’s favorite embellished cardigans from L’Wren Scott range from $2,095 to $3,320. Plain cashmere-blend cardigans from the brand start at $910

Talk about a crime of fashion...Moochelle pays all that money on clothes and still looks like THIS? Doesn't she have clothing adviser? I mean look at this! This is a $950 skirt. I swear I saw this print on a set of curtains at the Goodwill. Well, except they were only about $10. I wouldn't pay that much to hang them in the window of my chicken coop...probably would frighten my poor hens so much they wouldn't lay for a month. If she's going to spend all that (OUR) money on a wardrobe she should, at the very least, try not to embarrass us.

  • Make America Great Again. Deport some DUmmies.
My understanding is the Narciso Rodriguez "Black Widow" dress she wore at the inauguration may have run up to 8 grand. I can't seem to locate an exact figure on it though.

Why any woman would spend up to 8 thousand bucks on a dress that makes her ass look even larger than it is remains a mystery to me.
