World Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom™ Michelle Obama has interrupted her vacation among the elites to travel to Boston for Ted Kennedy's funeral service. Short of cash after buying fried seafood and short of time after bicycling in the dune grass, the clever fashion-forward first lady, unafraid to re-wear her designer threads, shook out her pope dress, strapped up her boobs with her trademark chest belt and jammed on her size 14 kitten heels to make the trip over to Boston to attend Ted Kennedy's funeral service.
World Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom™ Michelle Obama was not the only first lady in attendance. Hillary Clinton (First Lady of Arkansas 1979-1992 AND First Lady of America 1992-2001) also made the trip. She delivered a heartfelt message she had been composing for Senator Kennedy since January 27, 2008.
Ex-wife Joan "The Dish" Kennedy wore a trout pout and the cumulative lifetime burden of ever being married to Ted Kennedy.
The only Kennedy even more of a pig than Ted, Ethel "The Uterus" Kennedy, has hardly been been in camera frame at all. Nobody loves a good-old fashioned Catholic ritual more than our little Ethie. Ethel wore a conservative suit and accessorized with a whackjob offspring better known for reckless driving and consorting with South American dictators.
UPDATED: Ethel, you big old freckle - we luvs ya. I must say, Ethie, you have managed to maintain a tradional and classic wardrobe right up into your 81st year. Lost your hairbrush, though - didn't you?
On a lighter note... here's a video of MO banging her head on AF-1...

Suzette, you have outdone yourself with this comprehensive reportage. Beat the MSM hands down.
And jana, that video is too much. Clomping across the tarmac (where's the "Jurassic Park" soundtrack when you need it?) and then kapow!
Where do you suppose she found that big black and ? lampshade? Field expediency? Or was she expecting a funeral?

My gawd....It IS her Pope outfit - or at least part of it. Organza Big Bow Blouse, full skirt (No Spanx Day), but instead of the coat it appears she artfully substituted her little black bolero with the elbow length sleeves. No sign of the nun-like veil.
And then the rains came.

Very tricky staying under Barack's very own personal umbrella in what was described as "a downpour":

There will be words about this umbrella gaffe:

Last post should be excised. Some of the overlong url got lost and link doesn't work. Sorry...
Posted by: Lulu | August 29, 2009 at 05:57 PM
Wow... Barry's a real gentleman, hogging that umbrella while MO tries to get in on the action.
And they say chivalry is dead.

May we get rain like that when Ghadhafi comes to Englewood and tries to stay in a tent.

Poor Joan. New tight face lift for the occasion, only it's too late the look is rather "crypt-like". she was a beauty but those Kennedy's got to her early on...substituted male company for booze..

MO looks like she's going trick-or-treating, not to a funeral of dead-Ted. Lord knows, she needs someone to dress her so she doesn't look like a thrift store reject. Whoever told her she looks good, better get their eyes checked before her hubby closes off all good health care options for all of us.
Just my opinion

Trying out html code that a wonderful Suzetteer whose name escapes me suggested on another thread:
I am disputing that her is only 48 inches.
If this doesn't look wonderful and work, it's his fault. Or Bush's.
Posted by: Lulu | August 31, 2009 at 08:32 PM
OK. That was supposed to say that her stride is only 48 inches.
Yippee. Just tested my html link and it worked.
Now, about the length of that stride....
