The big , BIG , question of the day..
Phooey on if the G-8 will come up with a plan for a little global recovery. Bail out funds? yesterdays news...
IS MICHELLE GOING TO CASUAL IN LONDON ????... ( if I had hair, It would be pulled out)
This was to meet Prime Minster and Mrs. Brown at 10 Downing this morning. J. Crew.... Cardigan, pencil skirt. I like it, I like the mixing, I like the "young-ness" of it, love the shoes and accessories - and SHE LOOKS GREAT, fit, young, healthy....it is a very pretty sweater, close up here.
BUT, is it appropriate for , well, The President of the United States and the First Lady to meet the Prime Minster of Great Britain for the first time? I am not judging, just asking....
It was a "working visit", Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Brown toured a hospital.
Well, first, is The Queen shrinking?
Well, first, is The Queen shrinking? A night time cardigan.... you can not really tell from these pics, but the skirt is lovely and over a crinoline, I do like it better with out the sweater.. not sure if there are rules about being sleeveless with Her Majesty.
There is a matching long coat that she wore over to arrive, more pics and close ups of the new DO here....

I am making a little bit of fun over all the hulla- balloo that the world is in over Michelle. This can not be easy for her, she is a Harvard Law School trained attorney, and an accomplished woman on her own, this can not be easy for her, to have SO much focus put on her cloths. She would look just lovely in a paper sack...

Regarding the shrinking Queen: The picture was staged poorly. The much taller Obama and wife were spaced closer to the camera than the Queen and hubbie. Note how Obama looks much taller than his chick. Now I'm sure the queen is shrinking in stature with age; however the size difference is exagerated by the photograph.
Also, notice how in the second picture Obama seems much, much taller than the prime minister and his chick. In the picture under the Liz pic. he looks to be about the same height as the PM. I know, I know, TMI.
Yes, it sucks that we care, but she is representing us to the world. If we cared that Dubya was too casual in his behavior overseas, we also have to care how Michelle Obama dresses. We're very proud of our first family, but she is too casual. I haven't paid to much attention, but the photo with the queen may be the first time I've ever noticed her wearing stockings. Sleeves and stockings ARE probably a rule to see the queen.
