But Why Is She Sitting On A Table?
For the second time in the history of Vogue and the second time in the history of Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama is on the cover of Vogue. The pictures were shot by Annie Leibovitz and if Annie Leibovitz got her way, FLOTUS (Side note: Every time I hear or read the term FLOTUS, I always have to ask myself, "Wasn't Flotus a character in She-Ra?") would've been posing naked in a tub full of milk or some crap like that. Annie Leibovitz wanted to do it the Annie Leibovitz way. But FLOTUS rolled her eyes at that, because she has to keep things dignified and also because the milk in the tub wasn't fat-free. Let's move!
The cover isn't working for me at all and it isn't because they were a little heavy with the Photoshop and it's also not because her hair makes her look like the lost member of The Ramones. It's because she's sitting on a damn table! Now, I'm a total piece of unpolished trash and the last person who should be ranting about etiquette, but this is the First Lady. The First Lady shouldn't be leaning against or sitting on a table. I need Edward Lewis from Pretty Women to tell Michelle Obama that there's four other chairs here. There's a reason why they're called tables and not stools!
And how is she going to sit on a table that's got a glass vase full of flowers on it?! What if she sat on that table a little too much and that glass vase fell off and broke on the floor? The sound of breaking glass would've made the Secret Service bust into the room and they would've thrown their bodies on Michelle Obama while shooting at everyone else in there. And it would've been because somebody just had to tell Michelle Obama to sit on a table. I bet it was Annie Leibovitz's idea. ARREST HER NOW!

Candy, I forgot to mention all the undeniably failing "green" company pockets Obama lined with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY (i.e. he didn't give them tax credits that allowed them to keep their money because they didn't have any. HE USED OUR TAX DOLLARS. HE GAVE THEM OUR MONEY. Who might "them" be? Glad you asked! His campaign donors and bundlers! Oh, and the stockholders made a pretty penny too. Those included the likes of Al Gore and surprise! surprise! the Obamas! At least Cheney divested himself of his Haliburton stock before we went into Iraq, something George Soros didn't do when Obama gave BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY to the Brazilian oil company Petrobras FOR DEEP SEA OIL EXPLORATION while our Gulf was STILL GUSHING OIL.)
CandyPerfumeGirl - Please explain to me how in hell someone can "steal" THEIR OWN FUCKING MONEY! "Subsidized" oil companies do not get any tax-payer dollars. It is just that they are/were "allowed" to keep more of the money THEY EARN with the wealth THEY CREATE in the form of tax credits. This allows them to explore for more oil, drill for more oil, and research & develop environmentally safer and more efficient, economical technology so that you can keep your obviously non-taxpaying ass warm as cheaply as possible while you tool around town or fly over for a visit with your relatives in the Neanderthal caves of Neander's Valley.
Let me tell you a little secret: cheap oil is FREEDOM! If you think for one minute that Canadian pipeline liberals are wringing their hands over is being denied by Obama in this country (that already has hundreds of thousands of miles of underground gas pipes) for the sake of the environment then you are a fool. If we don't get that oil then China will, and China has practically NO environmental safeguards in place. 70% of their water sources are UNFIT for humans let alone the creatures that used to live in them. And what about the carbon emissions released just to haul the oil halfway around the world? Oh, and btw, as governor, Sarah Palin made the oil companies pay Alaskans for the privilege of drilling in their state over and above the jobs AND TAXES they provided, but don't let that little fact stop you from hating on her for not aborting her Downs-Syndrome son.
GWB and the DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED SINCE JAN. 2007 HOUSE AND SENATE were told BY LIBERAL ECONOMISTS it would be the end of the world if those banks were not bailed out. Every fiscal right-winger was adamantly opposed to it. Obama is the one who decided how those bailout dollars would be spent and he's the one who appointed that Goldman Sachs fuck to his bailout team to decide who the winners and losers were going to be (hint: Lehman Brothers losers, Goldman Sachs BIG winners!). Obama literally STOLE GM from the bond holders and gave it to the unions and surprise! surprise! Gm is a failing mess! That whole fucking financial collapse was started decades ago BY DEMOCRATS and their in-your-little-peon-face-American-citizen-taxpayer crony capitalism. They shit all over our Constitution like it was created to be their own personal toilet paper. Just ask yourself why nobody is in prison today, especially those parasites at Fannie and Freddie, even though Obama has had 4 years to put them there. I already know the answer myself. All Obama has to do is say to people like you (who apparently are the majority of our country) that it is Bush's fault right before jetting off to his 5th golf game in a week and you guys get tingles up your legs. Don't ever pretend to me you care about the middle class or the poor. With your appalling ignorance you have just outed yourself as someone who doesn't give a shit about anything except what makes you feel superior.
Completely agree with Osage Okie. On another note, Michelle is so unfortunate looking that even photoshop can only do so much.
"@ pfk:
oh they are living high on tax payer dollars? you mean other than the wealthy who dont pay taxes but still make use of all the things tax dollars pay for? Which is called stealing I believe You mean beside all the millions of our taxes that go subsidization oil companies and israel's apartheid regime? Geroge W Bush ruined this country, the wealthy were bailed out with tax payer dollars they did not contribute to, then gave thmesleves bonuses with those tax payer dollars and now we, middle class folks, are paying for it and you got the nerve to call the obama's despots living in the lap of luxury? Did you forget that Bush was oil man? And whose pockets he lined? Seriously, you must have shit for brains.

Hello??????
Obama has been the worst at appointing/hiring women. Its strictly a boys club. Probably like the Chicago bath house that both he and Rahm were members of.
Vogue says that only 1 first lady out of the last _14_ Administrations has *not done a photoshoot with Vogue.. (Mrs Bush Sr? i know her autoimmune disease, like her husbands george SR, was VERY bad while they were POTUS/FLOTUS in office and both were very sick with Grave's disease)
here is Laura Bush's photo by Annie L

"I (almost) never look back, darling. It distracts from The Now."
= Edna 'E' Mode
Bjork You - "And they are still, of course, dealing with sexism in Washington, having to deal with staid notions regarding gender and roles."
If you wanted to get specific then you should have said "...dealing with sexism in the Obama Administration..." Several former female Cabinet members came forward about a year ago and outed this administration's dismissive, contemptuous, and condescending attitudes towards them including that Chairman Mao dicksucker Anita Dunn. They were paid a third less than their male counterparts, too. Looks like wittle tiny Rahm has mommy issues as well as daddy ones.
Clam - what a dumbass you are. Even with all of the vileness and vitriol you unthinking zombies piled onto the Bush administration, I don't think the words lazy and famewhore were ever mentioned. These 2 despots are living high on taxpayer dollars while this country is struggling through a depression that is being prolonged and deepened because of their agenda. Too bad for dumbasses that people actually noticed Obama taking the time to read off his teleprompter all the dire things that would happen to this country if the Republicans didn't give him what he wanted right before his 4 day weekend golf game with Tiger Woods and then again right after while never stepping foot in Washington D.C. During this time Michelle was on an all-expense-paid-by-the-citizens-of-the-U.S. Aspen ski trip with one of the girls, I believe. Lol.
yepyepyep - so glad you are out of there and at least trying to reach your potential. Hope it goes well.
Sorry Foxxy but you playing the victim role doesn't work on me. Yes, I've heard of the research you cited but in those studies black people were just as likely to mistrust or hold low standards for fellow blacks "in the work place... education, and in the dressing rooms... etc etc wherever and everywhere". In fact, I know several female "whiteys" who were harassed on the job by minority bosses. I have no idea what race yep's bosses or co-workers were but her experience sounds like sexual discrimination to me, anyway.
A few years ago I read of a busted sex slave ring in this county (Florida I believe) that used very poor, minor girls kidnapped from Mexico to supply illegal immigrant migrant-type workers with some kicks while they slaved away for immigrant minority bosses, and just about every sweatshop in this country is run by some green card minority holding a whip over illegals from the same country. When the entitlement money just about every non-citizen immigrant gets here in the U.S. goes back to countries like Pakistan and Sierra Leone to help "their families", often times what it is actually supporting is the family brick making factory that uses lower caste relatives as slave labor.
So don't tell me how hard you have it here when Mexico City has to have a separate public transit system for each sex due to the fact that the men can't keep from molesting any female trapped within an arm's length of them. Maybe if the underclass in this country would stop voting for the leeches that keep them in that position then our country wouldn't be graduating adult illiterates and maybe black boys would stop killing each other over some pissed on piece of pavement. Maybe we should stop giving disability checks to crack mommies and start throwing pimps in jail. What do you think?
Bjork:
Michelle is getting vile criticism for her out of control spending, ego, and narcissism. Being the wife of the President in horrible economic times (due 99.999% to his socialist and absolutely stupid business sense) it is in the height of poor taste and common sense, to act like such a fucking diva.
The worm has turned against this trashy duo and I for one, am glad people are waking up.
ahahahahaha

And yes to this:

"...Both Hillary Clinton and Michele Obama appear(ed) to represent the image of modern women and both get such vile criticism."
So true. We will talk endlessly about a woman's appearance, from her headbands to her cankles while we accept ugly combovers, side parts as long bangs, and paunches on men. And when a man is running for office, we are not thinking about who is caring for his kids because we assume that it's the wife or whoever she has hired. Ditto when he is going for a promotion that requires travel. When a woman is running, she had better be in charge of that or give the appearance of it. And yes, of course there are female politicians who have supportive husbands taking over the domestic role, but don't think that those men don't get shit for it either. Like, it's 2013, but it's not.
Anyway, "Vogue" had a good article on women on the Hill (the issue with Beyonce on the cover). While it seems that more women were elected in office, overall, the numbers are still small overall ("only seven more women in Congress, bringing the total to 98 female members out of 535"). And they are still, of course, dealing with sexism in Washington, having to deal with staid notions regarding gender and roles.

Another thing.....if Michelle is so fricking proud of being a black woman, why has she been bleaching her skin to the point of being unrecognizable from her college days. Why the thinning of her nose to look more white? If she really hates "Whitey so much, why change what makes you a proud black woman to look like something you despise?
=========
I come back to dlisted and see this sad troll fail. Step it up, trolls! Too much sleeping under the bridge...
Bring back the models on the covers of fashion magazines. I'm tired of seeing photoshopped celebs plastered on their covers. There's no fantasy, only self-promotion. And let's not turn Vogue into Time Magazine.

yeah here is a brilliant idea:
Let us take a couple of $10,000 pictures of the first couple in an opulent, 1%er setting, make them wear ridiculous outfits you know (and they know) they would never wear on a Sunday (or ever for that matter) at home with the kids, Photoshop them to death so they look like shiny, plastic aliens from the latest JJ Abrams version of Star Dreck and then pose the question "how can these two inspire america?" (read the 99%).
Well i dont know, maybe if they didnt walk around looking, dressing and behaving like shiny, life like plastic dolls from Versailles and maybe if the first lady looked like a normal human being instead of the black version of June Cleaver getting ready for afternoon tea in a taffeta mermaid gown that cost a wal-mart employee's half a year salary, then maybe - just maybe - those Americans who are struggling thinking that if they are not part of the 1% then they are worth nothing, would be inspired to want to be something else beside rich or dying trying.
I still find it amazing we are looking at the 1% (Obama, Congress, politicians, fuck even Hollywood) to make it so that things improve for the 99% at the cost of taking something away from the 1%).

Clever. Yeah.....
Foxxy
If these political posts are so abhorrant to you, why even enter the thread?
MK must find them meaningful, else they wouldn't be on a "gossip" site.
Well said Foxxy. There's no such thing as a clever bigot.
K. Bush invited every 'tard from NASCAR to the White House and every Megachurch homophobe reverend as "consultants". How quickly we ignore this double standard. As a reader of this "celebrity blog" I'm troubled by Obama's celebrity "friends", including Rick Warren at his first inauguration but don't pretend that conservatives haven't invited dubious people into the White House too.

Geez yepyepyep, where the hell do you work? I can believe there's a lot of stereotyping toward minorities but what you just described... FUCK THAT! I would tell you to find yourself another job because that's the way Capitalism is supposed to work - if an employer is an asshole he won't be able to keep employees so he has to learn the hard way how to treat the help if he wants to survive - but unfortunately there are no jobs out there. Low priority to a President who never really worked a day in his life, you see. Actually, that's probably why your boss knows s/he can get away with that shit. You have no other options.
i'm a LOT older than yepyepyep and what she speaks of in the work place (and in education, and in the dressing rooms at department stores etc etc wherever and everywhere) has been going on long before this administration. it has been going on since time immemorial in this nation. academia has researched, quantified, verified, studied and published for decades. you're the one who's late to the knowledge.
nice of MK to post a "political" story every day or so to give you all a forum for your political rants and at the same time keep this shit out of the entertainment celebrity posts

Pfk I'm unemployed right now cause I demanded a raise even though they hired a million new people and even the brand new receptionist was getting paid $2 more an hour than me a manager, they were trying to demote me and make me the assistant of the person taking over my job, rather than fire me and face a lawsuit they laid me and I'm happy trying be self employed so next time a coworker tells me she likes the taste of her own cunt and how she scoops it up and licks and when my manager asks me for a threesome I can just say fuck off and never work with them, and yes lawyers were contacted
Blech.
Man this bitch is everywhere.
I bet if I took a picture of myself in the bathroom mirror, she'd photobomb the shot.
Chill with the over exposure...WE GET IT, YOU'RE THE OBAMAS EVERYONE LOVES YOU...blah blah blah, go sit down and pick out a new china pattern for the White House dinner placement quietly without cameras everywhere.
Keep it up PFK.
Bambam is however a person of no taste.
bambam - your attraction to women of all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and political persuasions is cute and very charming. Do you walk around with a stiffy all day long?
idiots drive me loco - what current economic crisis would that be? The one that all of us except obviously not you have been living through for close to 5 years now? You surely can't be referring to the sequester because that little idea was cooked up by Obama in August of 2011 and was known to be coming down the pike for the last year and a half unless both Houses of Congress and Our Dear Leader came up with a budget - which, alas, wasn't meant to be since Our Campaigner in Chief was far too busy with Hollywood fundraisers and just figured the Republicans would get the blame for what is nothing more than a 3% cut in the planned annual INCREASE in spending.
For those of you upset with Michelle and Barack's relationship with Hollywood: yes the Obamas are huge, unrepentant famewhores but make no mistake - HW is the useful idiot in this slobbering fuckfest. A useful idiot with deep pockets and the ability to bestow cool. Imagine that. A bunch of twisted petty narcissistic perverts who think they are gods have found a god more narcissistic and powerful than they are to worship. But hey, everybody is looking for something greater than themselves to give their lives meaning whether they know it or not. I guess baby-fucking, garbage-spewing, dumb-as-algae cretinous little HW parasites are no different.
I've got no real problem with Michelle O, but I always read FLOTUS as "flatus".
@ idiots drive me loco on Thu, 03/14/2013 - 10:44am.
Wouldn't a Vogue cover shoot have been planned several months ago, before the current economic crisis? Good lord, some people love to reach.
--> I know. I mean this is like Let them Eat Cake all over again. Some seriously crucial things are receiving cuts leaving most vulnerable segments of our population and even the middle class vulnerable and destitute and here we are having our first couple, instead of being the first couple of the people be the queen of the palace dressed in designer gowns 99% of the people who are watching them cannot afford. People have been loosing their jobs and incomes due to cuts as a result and these two pose for Vogue.

They will have to customize some new features to get just the right look such as the detachable dumbo ears, cigarette and butt plug for him and the xlarge snap on jumbo ass, buck teeth, detachable bangs and chola eyebrows for her.
HAHAHA MK, you're over-analyzing this. She was probably posed that way because she's very tall. And you are the furthest thing from unpolished trash, bitch! lol
Michelle looks cool and modern. The long dress is very long and sleek. Nice. Don't care for terms like flotus, potus either.

Jaariel - I agree with you & I haven't read her thesis. Will check it out. We truly are the most guilt-ridden country in the world. If this fact is abused anymore, there's no way we'll be able to help those who truly need it.
Maybe instead of tax "rebates" we'll all get a subscription to Vogue & a POTUS "Eye Candy" calendar!!! Who needs a solid leader... All that matters is that they are popular, stylish & good lookin'!!
Said it before, saying it again: read Michelle's Princeton Thesis online then talk to me about how smart, intelligent & clever she is. This is purported to be her best thinking. If you make excuses for her vacuous premise, her redundancies, her lack of empirical study, you need to check yourself. She is an elitist reverse-racist and those two have half the country scared to say anything because they are black and they use this American sense of guilt over slavery to intellectually blackmail people into not speaking out.

The First Lady needs to stop thinking of herself as a celebrity. She's really become a bit gauche since the re-election.
I think she looks great except that the angle is weird so that it looks like her legs are spread under her dress and she is grabbing her crotch. Unfortunate. I like her with the bangs.
They look so fake.
She should stick to being clever and stop trying to look attractive. She's extremely ugly IMO.
