I think I have officially OD'd on Inauguration television coverage. 
However, I couldn't go to bed without dishing with y'all about some of the attire seen on people who should have known better.
I love Aretha Franklin but she either needs to have a gastric bypass or go on The Biggest Loser - Celebrity Edition. She is getting so big she is starting to lose her facial features. :frown1: I wouldn't be surprised if it affected her voice too.
What was with that hat? Did she think she was going to a COGIC church? It looked like a good wind would make it take flight.
Laura Bush opted for a matronly gray/blue suit with matching coat and shoes.
I wasn't fond of Jill Biden's Inaugural outfit either. The red coat, while attractive, was too short, for the frigid weather. I know her bony knees were cold. :tongue: Her boots were kinda cute, but the A-Line of the coat made her legs look stick like. She kinda reminded me of the cartoon character Little Lulu.
Michelle's yellow suit, with matching coat, was ill fitting and made her look a bit pudgy through the midsection. In addition the coat had no buttons, just an olive green chiffon sash. It started out tied in a lovely bow and by the end of the day was just a bedraggled green mess. I am so tired of seeing Mrs. Obama tug at and re-adjust everything she wears. :12: The first lasy should look elegant and pulled together. She should not constantly be pulling and grabbing at jackets, coats, and cardigans.
J. Crew is okay for some people but clearly their stuff doesn't fit her. The first lady should not have to fidget with her clothing like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman before the makeover.
I don't believe in freezing for fashion. I thought the First Lady should have selected something elegant, yet suitable for the frigid weather. An ankle-length coat and a warm scarf would have been more appropriate. And what was with the glitzy quality of her dress coat ensemble. I thought sequins, bugle beads, and bling woven into fabric was still for after 5 PM. Her attire would have been great for a late afternoon wedding, but she just missed the mark for the inauguration.
Michelle's white, fluffy ball gown also made her look sorta like Frosty the Snowmans wife. This confection of This is a pet peeve which my mom also shares and she pointed it out to me last summer. Elbows and shoulders; she needs to keep them covered! Hers aren't ugly or misshapen, it's just inappropriate for the First Lady to constantly be seen in bare arms.
I bet I know what happend. Some dumb reporter probably complimented her on how well toned her arms are and so now she thinks she has to show them every chance she gets. :frown1: She is wrong. That gown should have been strapless. It looked like they just tossed that swath of fabric over her shoulder at the last minute for added support. That gown looked like a reject from a prom gown store. :frown1:
