You know I love Barack

But since he moved into the White House, I’ve been paying more attention to Michelle.

    Chefs, Batali? Flay? And… Lagasse?

    Well I’m glad she loves color, her style reminds me of Mike D’s roomie who recently told me she made it her mission to not wear jeans or black pants and it’s a great rule to spice up any wardrobe.

    I relate, Lex! I never wear pants of any kind. :]

    underpants?

  4. Michael Smith on January 6th, 2010 at 1:01 pm

    but seriously, what about when you run?

  5. Kelsey Parker on January 6th, 2010 at 1:03 pm

    Okay, fine. Yes. When I run I sport pedal pushers.

    Also Alton Brown next to Michelle, I believe.

    I wasn’t trying to call you a liar. I thought maybe one of these.

  8. Kelsey Parker on January 6th, 2010 at 1:20 pm

    Oh! How fancy. Maybe one day…

    Wow. Howard Johnson’s colors. Now that’s panache.

    I don’t like the shape of her cardigan—makes her look stumpy on top, which we all know she’s not—and I’d wear a less serious shoe, myself, but otherwise I love that outfit. Great colors, great skirt, happy, happy, happy.

    I haven’t worn pants much in the last, oh, twenty years to begin with, and when I started grad school started a semiconscious streak of pants-free dressing. Then, back in June, I realized that thanks to the Grad School Diet™ I could no longer wear most of the pants I owned anyway, so I got rid of them.

    Black is reserved for those days when I have no imagination or energy and already feel like crap anyway so why not. I wear black on the outside, ’cause black is how I feel on the inside.

    And I wear skirts while bicycling, for the record. That’s why I have a bike with a superlow step-through.

    I knew Kelsey wore skirts on her bike – I’ve had the good luck of meeting ol’ goldie – but for some reason I have trouble imagining the skirted running thing it would seem that the skirt would either be too showy or too restrictive.

  12. India on January 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm

    But I would think that one’s range of motion while running would be narrower than that while biking.

    Maybe that’s just how I run, though. Which is to say, not.

    Do you think Mario Batali intentionally coordinated his footwear to her outfit?

  14. Cindy Scroggins on January 6th, 2010 at 3:58 pm

    I wish I didn’t know this, but I do: Mario Batali always wears orange crocs. Which leads to the horrifying question: Did Michelle coordinate her outfit with Mario’s shoes in mind?

    Let’s say no and move on.

  15. Michael Smith on January 6th, 2010 at 4:33 pm

    Cindy, I knew that too and asked the same horrifying question.

    But isn’t he to be on the opposing team in this challenge? I’m assuming Michelle is pulling for her chef to win.

    An unfortunate fashion accident then.

  17. Rick Neece on January 6th, 2010 at 4:36 pm

    tick-a-lock

  18. Michael Smith on January 6th, 2010 at 4:43 pm

    How much do you think Mario gets paid to wear those damn orange Crocs?

  19. Cindy Scroggins on January 6th, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    I don’t know about Batali’s Crocs contract, but the competition already took place, and Flay and what’s-her-name (White House chef) won.

    I wish I didn’t know that, either.

  20. Michael Smith on January 6th, 2010 at 5:08 pm

    As a judge are you going to tell the white house chef some guy in crocs is better than her? Her boss is the commander in chief.

  21. Michael Grant Smith on January 6th, 2010 at 10:02 pm

    Bobby Flay reminds me of the guy at NAPA who sells me auto parts.

  22. Rick Neece on January 6th, 2010 at 10:06 pm

    Buffalo wing-nuts.
