24. I'd love it too, but it wouldn't look good on me the way it does on her.

She's just truly lovely. Elegant, classy, tasteful, a shining light of grace and charm - FABULOUS as an ambassador of the U.S. And make no mistake, the First Lady and the President, too, are also, among their many responsibilities, ambassadors representing this country to the world whenever they step outside our geographical boundaries. Hell, anymore, with the international extension of the media and internet, you don't even need to step outside the border to be a representative of your country.

But Michelle Obama takes it to a whole 'nother level that's simply sublime. We are extremely well-served. THAT is the face of The American Woman to the world. And that makes me VERY proud!

On another matter, I wouldn't mind having shoes like hers in your collection of photos. Those I'd definitely wear!

Just fabulous! Rosa Luxemburg Jul 2012 #1
