Michelle with a very thin ponytail – hair extensions and wigs at other times?

A photo of Michelle taking off to Camp David shows a very skimpy ponytail. I don’t understand how that is possible with her thick near shoulder length hair. This makes me think she uses hair extensions and wigs when her hair is down.

A few photos of her hair below.

Michelle Obama taller and bigger than going-grey Obama

Michelle has been sporting a new hair style that adds 3-4 inches to her height.  And if she wears heels and a light colored outfit she looks a whole lot taller and bigger than Obama.

For the classical music concert last week she wore a beautiful and very flattering white dress with a sweetheart neckline. She left her ugly cardigans, belts, necklaces, bows, brooches, and bow pins in the closet.  She even wore a bra that gave the impression of nice small breasts. How did she manage to do all of it right to look so chic and elegant?

The Michelle Obama Look Book

nymag has a slide show of 175 outfits starting with her black widow dress. Many of the early outfits I had never seen before because I started my blog in July and had only noticed by then that she was not the fashion icon the media was celebrating.

Michelle Obama at Science Bowl: “I’m like Alex Trebek”

Michelle Obama at “Science Bowl” “I’m like Alex Trebek” Transcript

Chu thanked Obama for her visit to the department, which he said would be helpful in “elevating the social status of nerds everywhere.”

During her long-awaited visit Thursday, Obama congratulated audience members on their long years of service to the department.

“The president and I are the new kids on the block here in Washington DC,” she said. “And many of  you have been doing this work for longer than I’ve been alive.”

As usual, MEchelle explains how it all revolves around the Obamas. The Energy department must have many workers well over 70 if they have worked there for more than 45 years. That statement of hers was an absurd way to recognize long service by federal workers. It shows too well how she thinks of everything being related to her or Obama, just like her IOC speech was about her and not about Chicago. I have never known or heard of a person who is this much self-centered.

A rare and deadly childhood disease

The movie “Lorenzo’s Oil” is one of those movies that touches you in many ways. The 1992 movie told the heartbreaking story of a rare but deadly childhood disorder called adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The disease destroys myelin, the white matter in the brain, leading to death at an early age.
