As I was sitting anxiously in the dentist chair waiting for the wonderful novocaine to set in, I was watching the Today Show on the big screen that tilts so you can look straight up at it. The big story this morning? Michelle Obama walked off of Airforce One wearing shorts and a tee shirt. The media is in a big frenzie over how she can call herself the First Lady of the United States whilst bearing her tanned and toned legs.
The problem I see in this situation is that the Obama family was on a nice family vacation visiting the Grand Canyon. Have you ever been to Arizona in the middle of August???? It was probably well over 110 degrees when the family departed the aircraft.
So why is the media so involved? I just don't understand....you see, one minute, First Lady Obama is an icon to female fashion, and the next she is being ridiculed for wearing shorts and a tee shirt.
I guess I just don't see the issue here. Michelle Obama is a beautiful woman, with a gorgeous figure that she obviously works to maintain. What is the problem with showing it off? The main concern seemed to be the fact that Mrs. Obama was not only wearing shorts, but also sporting bare legs!!! OMG! Seriously? Who even wears pantyhose anymore? None-the-less with shorts?
I guess the whole point of my little rant is that it doesn't matter what our First Lady wears, it proves that she is comfortable in her skin, and works hard to maintain a healthy looking body, as well as a healthy concept for fashion! So here's to you Michelle Obama, wear whatever you want, you dress very well, and can get away with wearing many things that I cannot!
