No, I’m not caught up in the mishigas surrounding Mrs. O’s toned and displayed biceps, nor am I interested in which G-20 spouse looks the best. Although NYMag was spot-on...
You are well aware of my concern about Mrs. O’s ( now referred to by some fashionistas as Mobama) eyebrows, but we’ll get to that later.
However, this coat reminds me of something that either Carol Burnett or Tracy Ullman would wear for one of their characters. And Mrs. post-Jagger-Sarkozy isn't doing her runway model self any favors either.
And on both ladies, the floppy bow ties have got to go. I can handle the recycling of 80’s ‘strong shoulders at this past set of Fashion Weeks, but I say NO to the BOW.
Now, back to the brows….even though her make-up artist decided that too many people were telling her to bring the arch down, and she was supposedly working on that….we are still not seeing any progress. And, it contributes to Mrs. O’s wonky left eye in some pictures, which you can see here.
On a related "people taking shots at women" note, I enjoyed reading this article on Katie Couric, in this month's Elle magazine. She has put up with a lot of criticism since becoming the anchor of the CBS Evening News and I watched her debut out of 'you go girl' loyalty and decided that I liked Brian Williams' newscast better. I've always watched the NBC national news, the rare times that I'm home at 5:30pm.
I admire Katie for plugging away and knowing that by being one of the few women to sit in that particular chair, she was making a difference and she was going to to be true to herself in the process.
Mrs. O. is plugging away too - navigating the role of the First Lady conundrum, and she is also being true to herself. Whiplash brows and all.
