Michelle Obama has created quite the stir among fans, designers, stylists, and the general public for her fashion and style. She is classy, sophisticated, yet simply beautiful. She seems to gracefully hold the tension between the elegance of a queen that audiences hope for, yet the simplicity of a loving wife, mom, and that of the person you would expect next door.
The simplicity shows through in her personality and natural beauty. You get the feeling that she is confident in who she is, and she uses the mediums of fashion and makeup to only enhances and highlight who she is.
One moment I loved this week was at the first Inaugural Ball when Barack said, “Isn’t my wife good-looking?!” and the crowd started clapping and cheering. Michelle started clapping, smiling and looking at her husband until she realized what he had said and then she laughed and stopped clapping with an “oops” sort of look when she realized everyone was clapping for her! It was very cute.

Hi Laura
In response to your blog about women in Italy. If I had one request of President Obama, it would be to somehow regulate advertisements. I feel inundated with them constantly and would love to attempt to live a life without being barraged by the media’s onslaught. I truly wonder if this constant barrage of images is what is behind the growing problem of eating disorders…we are constantly being told what we are not….hence leading to self images of ourselves that are out of whack to a disastrous degree. Anyone have any ideas about what could be done about this problem?
