“My favorite line of Mrs. Obama is when a journalist asked her if she thought her skirts were not too tight and she answered, ‘Why you don’t like my big black ass?’ This is a line I admire.”

Fashion “genius” KARL LAGERFELD, in the pages of Metro, which includes this statement from FLOTUS’s spokeswoman:  “Mrs. Obama never made that statement.”

High-res thedailyfeed: Hey high schoolers, save your PJs for slumber parties, okay? Administrators at [Mount Anthony Union High School in southern Vermont] have banned sleepwear from school after too many students began showing up in pajama bottoms.  “Some of the kids got a little bit too casual,” said David Beriau, the associate principal. “What originally started off as lounge pants ended up being pajamas with Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird.” And to complete the outfits: slippers. School officials say pajamas are more conducive to snoozing than studying and they worry about the slippers in a large school with slick hallways and lots of stairs. Wow, I knew I was getting old but this pretty much solidifies it. I actually had a John McCain, grumpy old man reaction to this.

High-res For Female Candidates, Conservative Clothes Are Trendy A WOMAN seeking political office in 2010 faces a fashion quandary. The choice, in simplest terms, comes down to this: to follow the lead of Sarah Palin or cast a style vote with Hillary Rodham Clinton. At a glance, Ms. Palin — she of the designer jackets, rump-hugging skirts and knee-high boots — would seem to have been a game changer, loosening up a restrictive, if unwritten, campaign dress code with one that expresses a more conventionally feminine look. Her bright, curve-enhancing garments and loose, shoulder-grazing hair — even her rimless glasses — have been taken up by a handful of candidates on the climb. This is especially true of fellow Republicans like Nikki Haley of South Carolina, Christine O’Donnell of Delaware and Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who appear to be following Ms. Palin’s style cues with striking fidelity.
