Those TV announcers all remind me of Lady Penelope in "Thunderbirds" (remember her?)<BR/><BR/><BR/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR/><BR/>Rossa ~~~ Hi! I see it the same way. I liked that Michelle Obama gets away from the ubiquitous sheath dress sometimes, especially when there's going to be lots of sitting down. I don't care how good a gal's legs are, sitting on low seats wearing a tight sheath dress is just not flattering, nor comfortable, and it could be embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>I thought she looked great all the time - as did Carla Bruni, they both stood out from the crowd of other First Ladies. But I rather liked the fact that Gordon Brown's wife just wore what she felt like wearing and didn't try to compete or look glam in any way - I like that almost better than anything.<BR/>Most of the other ladies did the same - so good for all of 'em.<BR/>:-) And good for you and your long hair ! Enjoy your gardening! ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-73640725609665782272009-04-05T06:37:00.000-05:002009-04-05T06:37:00.000-05:00Well most women I know thought that MO looked fine...Well most women I know thought that MO looked fine as she was. A natural woman, not as "buttoned up" as some of the British politicians' wives can be. She got a fabulous response from the teenagers at the Academy she visited and overall we think she's great. Her speech to the girls was very inspirational, just what they need to know, that a woman can achieve whatever she wants if she's prepared to put the effort in.<BR/><BR/>Was fun to see Carla Bruni's nose out of joint though when the Obamas went to Strasbourg. She (CB) didn't come to London supposedly because she "didn't want to overshadow the G20 and the Obamas visit" Ho hum, her body language said it all when she finally met MO. Totally eclipsed and outclassed. <BR/><BR/>Anyway most fashion critics seem to think the only way to earn their keep or keep their jobs is to be critical of everything. Jill Public takes no notice.<BR/><BR/>What really gets me livid is their pompous statements that women over 50 shouldn't have long hair....'cuse me. I'll have long hair as long as it suits me to and no-one will tell me otherwise. I thought the whole point of being a more mature woman (well some of the time) is that I can choose how I look to suit myself. <BR/><BR/>Off soapbox...off to do the gardening...supposed to be the middle aged woman's answer to no sex....now where did I leave that dratted soapbox...see memory shot to pieces as well....lolRossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-24890359745534833662009-04-04T22:12:00.000-05:002009-04-04T22:12:00.000-05:00I grow heartily sick of right-wing US media critic...I grow heartily sick of right-wing US media criticizing the dress sense of Michelle Obama. Usually, the worst critics are female announcers on cable news channels who have about as much idea of fashion sense as a centipede at the Ugly Bug Ball.R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-19260448408327771812009-04-04T20:44:00.000-05:002009-04-04T20:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for a very rich post, T.
