Dear Michelle,
We understand. You've got this really, really big event coming up and all eyes will be on you. You want to dress to impress. So you search around and you find this fabulous dress designed by a major American designer, Narciso Rodriguez.
But then you worry a bit about your image. You think "I'm a nice, normal mom" and and "I so want to please Barack's boss". Because your husband is Public Servant #1, he's got 300 million bosses!
So you and the designer make a few changes.
You raise the neckline to cover any possible alluring cleavage and lower the hemline to a granny-approved upper knee length. You change the fabric from sexy sheer lace to a snooze-worthy solid black. Perhaps you figure showing off your best anatomical features is just too Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
Then, because you're a bit concerned about your 44 year old body that's not quite as slim as it once was, you add an extra-wide black border along the sides to hopefully make you look 20 pounds slimmer.
Oh, and because these changes make the dress look a bit, well, clunky, add more red to liven things up.
The result?
Michelle, you're a beautiful woman. You've got courage to burn and you've got abundant natural style. You've got what it takes to be a natural fashion icon.
Do not ever, EVER try to please others by dressing the way you think they'll like. Wear the clothes you admire, even if they show a little skin. Oh hell, especially if they show a LOT of skin! Show that Sarkozy babe what a REAL woman looks like!
Oh, but the model's fugly four inch heeled, thousand dollar shoes? We'd prefer you wear Crocs.
Agree? Think we're full of it? Leave your comments here!
