Another case of what this administration has delivered so far:
ReplyDeleteDo as I say, and not as I do.
Hey---she could have gotten them at Filene's, or Loehman's...or they could be cheap knock=offs.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm just surprised that they're NOT high-tops.
And--woe--nelly! Who told first ladies that they're not allowed to enjoy the cloths that they buy with their own money! For Pete's sake.
My point exactly. Had Laura Bush put on these shoes you'd have never heard the end of it. And, Sarah Palin? How soon we forget.
ReplyDeleteNot these at a discount, gang. They're so hot they are soled out... pardon the pun...
ReplyDeleteChange (lots of it) that you can believe in. It is just a double standard. If all this stimulus shit does not work all this come back to bit the Obama's in the ass. Photos do not go away.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit! More expensive than McCains loafers too!
ReplyDeleteMarty--
ReplyDeleteDoes Zappos sell those in yellow with three inch heels?
now if she really wanted to help she could have given the food bank $500. and spent $40. on a everywoman pair.

That would go against the Obama mantra of do as I say, not as I do.
Pat: Let me check Zappos now!
ReplyDeleteOMG! You should see the Lanvin shoe collection at Barney's NY! Wow! $565 for those snakers, I mean sneakers. Prices sneak up on you. Most hover near a grand or over..http://www.barneys.com/Shoes/SHOES05,default,sc.html?prefn1=designer&prefv1=Lanvin&start=0&sz=81
ReplyDeleteLanvin high tops at $600. http://secretstore.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=2562351
ReplyDeleteStop me before I buy again! You made me look at shoes! I adores these Alexander McQueen pumps on Zappos Couture.$1,074. http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/50808558/c/19941.html
ReplyDeleteNo Lanvin there...
Tim is right, if she really wanted to do good and not have a photo op she would have donated the cost of the shoes less the $35 it would cost for a funtional pair from Payless. You can walk a dog/ work a soup kitchen in $35 shoes too.
ReplyDeleteHer next quote when told they have no money for bread may well be "let them eat cake."
Where the Hell is the media with this nonsense going on?
They're checking to see if they can get some in their own size....
ReplyDeleteI'm just a guy so I don't know much about shoe fashion... but those expensive things look stupid.
ReplyDeleteI wrestled about bringing this up: blacks love the latest tennis/basketball/running shoes. They may be residing an a squalid ghetto tenement but they have those $200 Air Jordans or whatever. One of my tipsters is calling Michelle "Blackie Kennedy."
ReplyDeleteYou can't say we haven't come a long way: Only in the U.S. of A. can we have obese poverty wearing $200 sneakers.
ReplyDeleteAnd killing each other over designer jackets...
ReplyDeleteor wheels/spinners valued at 5k on a piece of shit car.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of myself as the spinner on the shit car of broadcasting.
ReplyDeleteHamster wheel. Same thing...
