Who's Dressed Better? The First Lady, or Drag Queen Varla Jean Merman?
Who’s dressed better in a rose imitation sailor suit?
Who showcases her, uh, assets with more flare…and more impressive junk in the ca-junk-a-junk-trunk?
If Varla Jean Merman’s outfit was crafted on Project Runway by contestants on a limited budget with not much time, who made Michelle’s ensemble, and what remedial kindergarten does that small child attend? Did they have to miss nap time for this?

Definitely the drag queen. She looks a bit like Ann Margaret back in the day.
I still want you guys to put up Charlie Crist in drag against Michelle. For added fun, lets find a Guiliani in drag to compare with MO.
Good night.
OMG Michelle is just as embarrassing as her idiot hubby..NO CLASS~NO GRACE~NO STYLE
Definitely Varla Jean.
MOO looks like the Candy Striper from Hell.
And I second the Charlie Crist vs MOO.
I’d love to see a “MObama, Queen of the Desert” spoof.
Oh wow. That was funny SFGoth.
I voted for Ms. Merman. The color looks nice on her, it is sewn and fitted properly, and she has a pleasing shape underneath skintight pink clothes; which just happen to have a flattering shape also.
Mo on the other hand…man, Im gonna need more hands….the bow, oh god the bow, then the hips and butt pulling it tight, with the sagging boobal area of the shirt….
She mocks us. She laughs. She cackles. She cannot NOT know how horrid she is dressed.
Right back at you MO. Mockety mock mock mock.
ka junk a junk junk
Ooooh crushing on Ms. Merman are we? ka junk a junk.
I did not see that episode of Project Runway but just looking at those two pics, I bet watching her walk is dangerous to the watcher’s health. Whiplash from the neck snapping back and forth in time.
From what I can see, that red skirt is meant to be buttoned closed at the back; that white triangular area should not be showing. Shhhh … one of Michelle’s advisors and/or dressers will get the chop, or be blasted with her trademark ocular death-rays, if she hears about this.
That ensemble needed more white and less red if it was to work at all, especially from all angles.
Sad to say, that’s the way it’s meant to be worn; a little surprise detail. Some surprise. The fabric of the panel is wrong, the little flutter at the hem is wrong. It looks like they realized their design flaw (oh, you don’t want to walk like a geisha?), sliced up the back and spliced in part of a little girls pinafore. Little House on the Prairie Meets Morticia. Overall, it is a horrid skirt.
BTW, Get a load of Varla Jeans quads! That takes hard work.
Nothing like having a big white pointer drawing attention to your biggest “asset”, eh?
Indeed, it looks remarkably like the head of an arrow! I can’t wait for the next outfit to italicize so to speak other parts of her anatomy.
actually, it looks like a stealth bomber is about to berth up her ass. ( it probably could too)
Zip up that white triangle and you’ll be having a fabric rupture (or shall I say RUMPture?) of BP-oil-platform-in-the-Gulf proportions. Ka-Boom. And Ka-Splat.
Lord have Mercy, you guyz are killing me! My monitor had to be cleaned twice last night and now I just cleaned off pomegranite juice. And that’s not easy to clean!
The Mrs. is a miss…in most “things” she wears.
And no one tells it like y’all.
The skirt is at least 2 sizes too small.
MO doesn’t care if things are buttoned.
She has no class.
She wore a white suit in Mexico that wouldn’t button (MO too fat) and it appears she wore the suit anyway and covered the unbuttoned slacks with her shirt.
This outfit on a model looked good, L Wren Scott designed the outfit to be worn with a jacket. It looks terrible on MOO because she did not wear the jacket, plus if at the back the placket is supposed to be buttoned up then that inicates that the skirt is too tight.
The jacket designed to be worn with the skirt would have helped to hide that bulging butt.
Look I am not great shakes because I am overweight. Plus I have not been all that conscious about what I wear. Since I am not working I simply do not care. However, and I go back to where I lived prior to Canberra, there was a lady in my congregation who was given the nickname Mrs Gucci. That lady knew how to dress immaculately. So, any criticism is due to the fact that I have been amongst women who are immaculate dressers (the lady in question has had a double masectomy due to breast cancer).
Here is the thing, some colours do not suit certain people. Moo has a habit of wearing colours that are not suitable for her skin tone (this is not about being black). As a result those outfits make her look dowdy. Second, she has this thing about showing off her arms. I blame the press who have been slobbering all over her, and making false claims about those arms. There are times when the arms should be covered up.
Most women should not wear strapless dresses or even some of the concoctions that make it into the fashion magazines. The number of times I have shuddered over what the starlets are wearing… even comparing two women wearing the same dress, one will look good (e.g. Halle Berry) and the other will look terrible.
I posted a link for the daughter of Malcolm X – Attallah Shabazz. I think that the way that she dresses is actually very classy. In fact I even like the little hats that she wears. They are quite fetching. I could add a few other things about Attallah since I viewed a couple of Youtube videos of her speaking… she is fantastic because she is a positive woman. Attallah has grace. Moo does not have that kind of grace. Attallah has a great figure. Moo is actually quite dumpy with her big bum.
Pitting anybody up against Varla Jean is unfair! That said, I do like the outfit that MEchelle is wearing, Aussie, but yeah, it needed the jacket to make it complete. To make matters worse, I really thing ME ME needs to hire a tailor.
Back when the dinosaurs roamed and I wss skinny, I STILL had a big butt so I know it’s hard to find stuff that fits both the backside and the waist at times.
*Sigh* but I also wasn’t FLOTUS or rich so my choices were too tight or too loose. ME ME does not have to make that choice. She needs to hire a tailor.
Is “What Not to Wear” available as a box set? MO ought to watch each episode and take notes. I’ll leave style to the experts, but the issue of “fit” would immediately make MO look better. The outfit she is wearing would look soooo much better if it were a size or two bigger. Makes me wonder if whoever dresses MO undermines her on purpose by continually emphasizing her figure flaws and wrapping them in outfits that are too tight. As Clinton and Stacy always point out “Dress to fit your widest part. The rest of the outfit can be tailored to fit”. Apparently no one has the cojones to tell MO that she has outgrown the Juniors section.
Perhaps we Hillbuzzers could take a collection and send MO DVDs of What Not To Wear with a little note suggesting she get a clue.
Maybe they are sending her “samples” to wear? Size 0?
Me me needs to be on a maker over show. Even 3rd world countries have better dressed fl. I can hardly type … puck…when is she leaving?? OMG it can’t be too soon.
All right you guys, c’mon and give me a shout out. Do I find the ugliest photos or what?
Yes, yes you do. ;D
MO had to be transported on a luggage trolley or a Segway to that speech..no way could she have sat down in that get up, it would have probably fit her husband rather nicely though, maybe she borrowed it from his ‘man cave’. You know the place where he goes to smoke and ‘dream’.
Tell me these aren’t the highest-waisted pants you’ve ever seen. Embiggen if you dare.
http://www.thegrio.com/slideshow/slideshow-michelle-obama-hosts-take-your-daughter-to-work-day-at-white-house.php
What is she packing in those pants? A bag of emergency Frito’s?
Those pants looked awful on the skinniest of anorexics back in the seventies. Some styles should never come back around. Does anyone get the impression she chooses oddball clothing to see if women will imitate her a la Jackie Kennedy? If women started wearing belts under their boobs, high waisted pants, riding boots with dresses, etc… it would be obvious who they were imitating. (Difference being Jackie had taste and class and women wanted to look like her.)
Unless you look like this, you have no business wearing these trousers. Katharine Hepburn she ain’t.
http://ekawear.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/be046717.jpg
Exactly,
to quote my favorite author ‘She only ate on Government Holidays’.
Hepburn’s trousers are nowhere near as high waisted as MO’s–this is close to her natural waist. The reason why 1930s-1940s stars looked good in trousers–even if they were 5’3″–was the cut called a Hollywood waist that was not overly high, beltless, easy and flattering (go take a look at J.Peterman’s catalog.)
The other problem is the color–too light for an area MO needs to minimize-and her utter refusal to wear an effective foundation garment to hold the stomach and butt IN. She looks downright expectant in this and knows it (why the hunched down look).
Perhaps this is part of the Putney Swope-ish ‘giving it Da Man’ attitude.
I will say that BO the dog is the only asset in the White House. He’s awfully cute.
Änother really bad choice on her — or her consultant’s — part.
But I will say that it is good that the pants are wide legged.
Oh! Those pants are like my grandpa’s up so high! She doesn’t have the flat tummy at her age…or they should be pleated.
Please send this woman a Lane Bryant catalog.
Egads, Jane! This outfit would have been IMPROVED by one of her giant belts. Scary. If this is the stuff the WH dressers pick out for her, imagine what’s in the reject pile.
Not only does MO choose the least flattering styles and colours for herself, but the fit is always so wrong.
When you embiggen this example (fashion disaster) look at the front of the top, in the two panels on the left. She has ZERO bust (I mean nothin’ there) and the fabric is bunching out because there is nothing to fill it.
If you’re going to buy pret à porter, you had better be a PERFECT size 6 or 18+ or whatever it is.
MO’s top and bottom halves don’t match, and I think this is why she is in such a dilemma, fit-wise. She is trying to compromise by getting a size that isn’t TOO, TOO big on the top, but that means that the bottom of ANY outfit will be painfully too tight.
She should stick to ‘separates’ and/or have everything tailor-made, with appropriate fittings.
And, for the love of Pete, cover up those greasy-looking arms.
Maybe she should buy larger sizes and have the tops taken in, in, in. Although I don’t think you could possibly take the top in enough without it looking strange.
I hate to think what she would have “tailor made” although that would be best.
What’s with that damn bow on her chest? That outfit, starting from the neck and working downward, looks like something an old lady would wear. A big-ass bow covering up all of that. And then that big-ass ass squeezed into a condom. NOT attractive.
Oh . . . I forgot the arms . . . the big-ass bow makes this outfit look like there were sleeves that got ripped off moments before BO donned this hideous garment.
She’s no Jackie O. Mrs. Bush–BARBARA BUSH!-dresses better than MO.
I don’t know any “old ladies” who’d be caught dead in this.
Tacky, tacky, tart-like dressing!
OK, what is even bizarrer than this horrid outfit are the desperate attempts by fans to support what she’s wearing.
“She’s got bootie and ain’t ashamed to show it’.
Like a $5 whore? Wearing clothes too tight is tacky, low class and just trashy.
“She’s not afraid to buck trends.”
She’s NOT Lady Gaga! She’s the FLOTUS! She’s our employee and our representative every damn day. Bucking trends isn’t her job. Being a decent human both in behavior and dress is.
“She’s like a breath of fresh air!”
OK, so if you work in a tannery, opening a window to the landfill MIGHT be an improvement.
she is dressed like she’s just been turning tricks on the mall.
It’s not enough that she has the arrow pointing to her tush – it has to be a bright, white arrow on a red background, just in case none of us noticed. All I have to say is, I’ve seen hog farmers in overalls who look better put together than MO.
AAAAUUUURRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Just when I thought MO’s outfit’s couldn’t get ANY worse…
THIS one’s going to give me nightmares!
Someday soon you guys are gonna have to do another one of those votes where we line up 5 or 6 of MO’s worst. We could have a series of those, then have quarter-finals, then semi-finals, then THE WORST OF THE WORST OF THE WORST….
Only, at the rate she’s going, we could be doing this like practically every month!
I recall seeing a pic of Michelle on Newsbird, in which Michelle was wearing a white jersey-velvet type sheath, and it was so tight in the back view that:
My first honest reaction was: stuffed sausage!
Does anyone know or can you find the pic I mean?
This one?
http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2009/GalxMonth/11/111009-michelle-obama-400d.jpg
Or this one?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/4206525568/
They’re both too tight, so take your pick!
The one you sent on flickr is it!!! LOLOLOL
I’m send it to the guys. I will give you credit in my email.
Thanks!!!!
Stuffed Sausage of the US
ROFL
Not sure
It was a back view and horrendous.
bulges everywhere and bursting-at- seams look
If you find it, maybe send it for an upcoming contender.
Tight, shiny and white cheesy looking fabric. Gets my vote.
MO looked rather nice in the yellow sheath but I suspect it would be too tight in the rear. It if she upped it one size and tailored the top down it would work.
BTW did you know her campaign outfit designer, Maria Pinto, is going out of business? She actually made some decent looking clothing (save one with the added belt) that elongated her short waist and ended below the knees. Guess she is now left with Goldman’s gacky, tacky designers. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/01/us/politics/01maria.html?hp
1. Does this woman own anything in her true size … which is clearly two sizes larger than this!
2. Does she own a slip? Remember those? They keep dresses from riding, clinging, being transparent. Of course, with that big white panel she looks like she’s violating the slip rule (showing through a skirt slit) when she’s obviously not even wearing a slip! That takes skill.
Some thoughts:
First, some of those female impersonators are pretty darn amazing. Dang, I would get them to help me with my make up and clothing.
Finally, on the Laura Ingraham show yesterday, she mentioned that she has a friend who works at the White House. Her friend told her that, in addition to entertaining virtually every day, the amount of FRIED FOOD served is staggering: fries, fried okra, etc. etc.
So much for the eating healthier campaign. Oh, wait, I forgot! The elites are special: they can pollute, live in huge mansions and eat whatever they want, but I have to give up salt and live by candlelight.
And I can see November from my house!
What’s wrong with fried okra?
It’s cheap too 
Really, it sounds like typical fare around here, but as you pointed out, the whole “Obese Kid” thing has put a bullseye on MO’s butt for telling other folks how to eat while obviously not focusing on her own plate.
She should have picked another cause….
Granted “How to dress for your figure” would have been a bad one also.
Very good. This is a bad Michelle outfit. Now, I do have to say I like the new ‘do. But the flaws, o my:
–Skirt way too tight in front and back.
–Skirt too high for her.
–Big bow silly at business function.
–Sleeveless & no jacket at business function too informal.
If she’d gotten a better fit, I don’t think the color or the blouse (with a smaller bow (or no bow, better) and a jacket) would have been such a poor decision. She really needs help.
to me the killer is the weird white triangle and white buttons (ugh!) on the back. And the worst thing about the triangle is that it isn’t centered, but somehow squashed over toward the right buttock. wtf?
It looks dumb without sleeves, but par for the course.
Haha! I think the triangle moved as she walked. “Right cheek, left cheek. Ready? GO! And step, and point, and step, and point”
The triangle is weird because the buttons were supposed to be buttoned with just a peek of white showing.
The skirt is 2 sizes too small.
Michelle’s motto: If it zips, wear it.
If it doesn’t button, wear it anyway.
Would spanx work?
If she didn’t have industrial Spanx on, she’d never, ever have been shoehorned into that red skirt. The little triangle is light pink, by the way. Jersey (as in lingerie) I believe.
When you see her in dirndls (full skirts), you know it is a “Phew – No Spanx! Day”…
With her slumping posture and shambling gate the First Lady (hahahaha- lady indeed) always reminds me of a throwback to the first huminoids who inhabited the planet 2 million years ago.
With her shoulders always slouching forward and with the habitual grimace she presents to the nation every day, any outfit on her even if it was designed by God would look like a fashion holocaust. A burlap bag would be a better look.
Actually, I kinda feel sorry for MO when I see how often she looks bad. It reminds me of awkward junior high years. Anyone else remember that squirmy, self-conscious feeling you got when Mom sent you out in something that you knew didn’t make you look good? Especially if you were standing anywhere near the thin, popular girls? That sullen, defiant look that MO sports has probably been engraved on her face since she was 12 – and the tallest, gawkiest kid in the room.
