Was anyone else struck by how strange she looked? I'm hesitating to even say this, but her dress reminded me of a spider, with the red hour glass on the tummy.

I can't get over how weird that looked. My jaw dropped when she came out, so powerful was this image to me. It reminded me of foreshadowing as done in the movies.

Disclaimer: I absolutely do not wish anything horrible on anyone, let alone our new president elect. I did not vote for Obama, I wrote in Kucinich, but I am glad Obama won instead of Mccain.

I've been trying to find a picture of Michelle Obama in this dress and have been unable to. It was black and had some sort of wrap around which made the middle red part look like an hour glass.

If this sounds insane, then carry on... but I just had to say something and see if I am the only one who noticed it.

I also think that Michelle Obama's dress looked odd.

It made her look very pregnant because the red accentuated her stomach region.


just my way of seeing it

Her dress was immensely unflattering. Made her look very wide and shapeless.

Her hair looked good though.

It was quite odd. I told my hubby I was sure there was some sort of subliminal messaging going on there. He thought she, and the girls, looked like they hadn't undressed from their Halloween outfits.

Uhhh... yeah... history has just been made and you people want to talk about someone's dress.

Maybe you should send some e-mail to Perez Hilton or something... moving this to BTS.

Why not? Everything else has been talked about. Was the "Obama is the Antichrist" thread moved to BTS?

I'm not talking about the fashion of the dress. I'm talking about the ominous foreshadowing that made me think about.

I'm not so shallow as to think fashion is important on a night like this. I'm talking about the fact that our new first lady came out in a dress that looks like a black widow spider.

I resent the implication that I was attempting to discuss fashion. I simply wanted to know if anyone else was affected by it as I was. I thought that was allowed here...

Fashionistas rejoice. Here, FWIW, is a picture, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood mod.



Remember, accessories are everything. (teasing)

Thank you, Badge. I'm glad to see a Mod not over-reacting.

Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2009 dress...Redone. The original on the cat walk was sleeveless.

Didn't care for it and especially the symbolism of the colors.

Thanks Badge01 for posting the picture, I couldn't find it last night when I posted this initially. I still don't understand why this thread had to be moved and I think that decision should be revisted. I'm very interested in the observations I may get from others in the political forum about this. Is there a process for review at ATS?

I guess the thread would have made more sense last night if I'd been able to show the pic along with my observation. Next time I'll wait til I have more info.

While I did not vote for Obama, his speech certainly was uplifting for everyone in the country. It did make me proud to be an American. The dress Michelle wore however.... I imediately related it with a black widow. I wonder if it was on purpose, thoughtless, or she just never looked in the mirror!
