54 Ways to Say "I Love You" In Africa
First Dog Bo might be cute, but according to First Lady Michelle Obama he's also "kind of crazy."
The first lady is spending a lot of time walking and training the 6-month-old Portuguese water dog who became a member of the president's family last week.Chewing on feet, huh? Looks like Bo is following in Barney's footsteps...
An energetic breed, Bo plays well into the night, as he did on Wednesday.
"It was like 10 o'clock. Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around," Mrs. Obama said. "The president and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball. And it was like there was another person in the house.
"He's kind of crazy, but he's still a puppy. So he likes to play a lot," she said.
The dog, unveiled last week after months of speculation, was a gift to Obama daughters Malia and Sasha.
"He loves to chew on people's feet," Mrs. Obama divulged to more than 100 children invited to a program marking the annual Take Your Child to Work Day. SOURCE: AP

I'm sorry, but while I'm happy that Michelle is the First Lady (vs. Cindy McCain), and YES, Michelle O is doing a nice "job", Mrs. Obama NEEDS A STYLIST!! She needs a stylist, a hairdresser and a new makeup artist.
STOP with all the empire, high-waisted looks--they're monotonous and she can lower her waistline with a slightly longer jacket.
STOP with all these dang sweaters and/or sleeveless looks; does she NOT own any jackets?
STOP with the devil-arched eyebrows; soften them down--a LOT.
STOP with the muted makeup shades; she looked her best, IMO, in the green dress, curls in her hair and some pinkish/colored blush. And in that older picture (pink evening gown;hair up). Her makeup artist said the other day she doesn't want much blush/colors on her. Uh, girlfriend, she really would look better with some some feminiine hues to soften out her face and mouth.
And I think she can occasionally wear some Black designers clothes sometimes, yes? She's pulling an Oprah--not doing things to support other Black men/women, give them some shine in their fields.

STOP HATING. She is creating her own style. We've never had a women of color as the first lady. How do you expect her to dress? This is who she is. This is her style and her choice. Before you know it the world will mimic her fashion sense. STOP the maddness.! No one cared or made a big deal about the other first ladies apparel. Get a life.

Is it really important how she looks? Regardless of your comments, she is a beautiful woman anyway. And in this picture, she is out walking the dogs with her daughters and husband. Family time. Geez. And I am a white Republican female. I will be more impressed by what she does than how she looks...

Do we really need to be this worried about Michelle Obama's wardrobe and makeup? If you are that worried,nominate her for the show What Not To Wear! But Stacy and Clinton will probably say she is doing a good enough job on her own. I think she looks wonderful and she seems so down to earth - like she is one of us. And can we please forget about color? Talent and ability should be what counts. We are all people. Turn us inside out and we are all the same color!

Why is it only "Black" people become offended about someone not wearing a "Black" designers outfit. I mean come on so what, if thats the mentality people have come to have you got huge issues. Personally I think its things like that, that keep the world the way it is. Blue, black, white, purple, green, yellow, asian, hispanic, black, white, what ever race or color. Clothes are just clothes and it shows how little a person is if they want to complain she doesnt wear from a "Black" designer

She doesn't look any different to me. Why is this important? She dresses professionally & I think everyone needs to worry about some bigger issues. How about enough of the photo shoots & more attention to the economy, immigration, corruption, etc? Or is it time for the reality series to start now? Why not, it seems the American Dream is a big joke for most. And with "celebrities" in the White House we can now worship them...NOT.
