Mrs. Obama and Queen Elizabeth

It's funny, but of all the news reports I have heard surrounding the G20, I have not heard a single report here of this incident. I have seen footage of the meeting and the pair of them having their photos taken, arms touching backs, and there was no comment on it whatsoever.

Mrs Obama was visiting a girls school when she wore the dress. Perhaps she thought something less formal was called for than your average head of state kind of thing. I thought she looked great in it, and it was such a beautiful colour. I've just hear an interview with the editor of Vogue who absolutely loved it.

No matter what she wears, it's all a matter of taste and someone isn't going to like it and others will love it. It's all inconsequential to me. It isn't as though she wore hot pants or a micro mini. LOL First they found fault w/her sleeveless dresses. If I had her well toned arms, I'd wear sleeveless dresses, too. So it's informal, so what. Fashion is as individual as we are. If that's all they can criticize, I'd say she's doing alright.

What I read yesterday is that the palace was very quick in putting out a statement that stopped the media in their tracks (tracks of mud).

I also read that it was the Queen who made the first gesture and Michelle responded in an affectionate way. Everybody lived!!

As for the dress - it isn't one of my favorites - but she wears bright colors so well.

It occurred to me yesterday that I should be paying attention to what her husband is doing and saying - not to what Michelle is wearing!

Agreed. Did you see the film clip of Mrs. Obama's talk to the girls at
their school. She was a little overcome with emotion & teared up at one
point. The school girls were overcome with meeting her in person.
Clearly the emotion was mutual.

I did. Those girls are going to remember that day for the rest of their lives. They were so excited. I hope they heard the message too about the importance of a good education.
