I don't normally pay attention to fashion . . .

[livendive 8]

. . . as evidenced by my frequent combination of Tevas and socks. Still, I can't imagine why anyone would pick that carebear dress that Michelle Obama wore on election night. Since then, for some reason, I assumed she fired whatever consultant told her that thing would look good, so I was shocked when I watched a little TV coverage before coming to work and saw what she's wearing today. Why in the hell would she want to become First Lady while dressed as a couch??! Seriously . . . WTF is that thing she's wearing?!

Michelle Obama has no fashion consultant that I know of. Thoughout the campaign she always claimed to have a good sense of fashion and would choose her own outfits.
I do agree that she looks like my grandma's couch today.

I'm in Texas wearing a fabulous American-flag inspired crushed velvet cowboy hat (one of the guys here gave it to me last night ...), so I may not have much credibibility w/r/t fashion either , I do think there's something neat, for lack of a better word, that she's chosen to wear dresses and outfits from the Gap, J Crew, etc during the campaign. I hope that she picks an American designer for the inaugral gown.

I don't pay attention to fashion all that much but my wife does. (I hope she does since she's a fashion designer) On election night we were watching the coverage and when Michelle Obama came out my wife (who hardly ever swears) said out loud "WHAT THE FUCK". I snapped at her real quick and she looked at me and said "who ever told her that dress was OK needs to be fired NOW". Since then it seems maybe she has had some guidance on what she wears. She is a very attractive woman but that outfit did her no justice.

Anybody who uses the word "outfit" to describe what a person is wearing is way beyond me in fashion sense.

But I have to agree here. Based on the picture, she really needs to wear something a little less, . . . boxy.

Is that a fashion term? Boxy?

Hey JR,

It must really burn you that the current black president comes across as so much more intelligent than the previous white one?

Was that the dress that was compared to the black widow spider?

Actually, John got that from the website (http://www.newsbiscuit.com that the OP in the "End of an Error" thread. It was pretty funny, too. Had the presidential limo being pimped by the "Pimp my Car" folks.

Wendy - Leave the nice people alone. They have to read PC nonsense into messages to make themselves feel big.

It's because they hate women and gay people. (this IS fun)

I knew someone would turn that into an allegation of racism.

It's too bad that you're sense of humor is going to be taking a vacation for the next four years.

And dear Wendy, I came up with that all by my little lonesome - I didn't even read that other thread.

I look forward to international dinners in the White House of chittlin' and okra.

I don't really like that humor, but I don't read anything into it other than a difference in perspective...I just don't like it when they won't play the ball. Fat chance those off the cuff insults would result in bans, though. Maybe 5 or 6 "last" warnings maybe since they are directly against the rules.

Let's recap. You put words in my mouth that I didn't say. And then based upon that, you call me a racist. Yeah, that's some fine logic there!

You're only making yourself look bad here, using unethical tactics to attack me, and trying to scare up bogeymen where there are none.

You seem to be really hung up on this "negro" thing:
http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=negro+negros+negroes&search_type=OR&search_fields=sb&search_time=&search_user_username=Andy9o8&sb=score&mh=25

In fact, a search reveals that you've used that word, or derivatives thereof, three times more often than I have.

Does that make you three times more racist than me?

But hey, I'm one-up on you on the use of the words "chittlin'" and "okra". If you want to show sensitivity and support for Negroes, you better throw those two around more often.

[Andy9o8 2]

By all means, stand by your post, John. And I'll stand by mine.
