Kate Middleton  made her first royal greeting with the Obama’s recently. But it was her dress that stole the show. Her beige dress gave the world a flashback of Princess Diana’s royal fashion, but also showed the world that she takes new job seriously.

I have to say that I do wish she would have worn a bright color, she could pull it off. But I guess she was trying not to outshine the visitors. However, she still did with her body hugging dress. I wonder how Michelle Obama felt about being out done in the fashion?

What do you think about Kate and her royal fashion thus far? I am loving it. She seems so poised and polish, no wonder Prince William would choose her to be his wife. I surely hope that she can stay out of the trouble that Diana had to face, though.

Michelle Obama is the epitome of class, elegance and sophistication. She’s been seen wearing clothing such as J. Crew and H&M to designers who put looks on her right off the runway. But where does she get her fashion sense?

Hairdresser Vera Chamberlin revealed to the Washington Post that her client Meredith Koop has been put in the ever-so-important position of stylist to the First Lady. The 29-year-old Vanderbilt University graduate was sent to White House by Chicago retailer Ikram Goldman, and slowly progressed into the job.

A White House spokesperson classified Koop as a “personal aide to the First Lady and a member of the White House Residence staff” with duties that extend beyond the styling:

“responsibilities include advising the first lady on her wardrobe and acting on her behalf in arranging for purchases, including considering the best offered price, and buying on discount if discounts are available.”

Wow! I adore Michelle’s style. It’s affordable and classic. What a job!

First Lady Michelle Obama has become a fashion icon – she has a fantastic sense of style and always manages to wow us with her classy yet sometimes risky fashion choices. Michelle wore this beautiful champagne-color strapless gown to meet the Indian Prime Minister at the White House state dinner, but she did not expect it to raise a debate about colors and race.

The dress was described as a “sterling-silver sequin, abstract floral, nude strapless gown” by Associated Press. A fashion editor quickly commented on this inaccuracy, saying, “Whose flesh? Not hers.”

“We talk of nude now and there is no one color. It’s politically incorrect,” said Gale Epstein, founder of the US lingerie brand Hanky Panky. “There is a wide range for skin tone colors. Human skins tones are a whole colour palette unto themselves.” Miss Epstein prefers to use a range of names, from “light chai” to “espresso”, to describe her wares.

Is the fashion world racist? We don’t think so. I never completely understood the concept of the color designated as “nude” because there is an extensive range of “nude” colors. But we would never say the color of Michelle’s dress is “nude” since it’s not even close to the First Lady’s skin tone and champagne would be a more correct way to describe it.

Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the USA, was announced as the most fascinating person of 2009 by Barbara Walters during a special on Wednesday (December 9). It has been a crazy year for the delightful Michelle, yet she still manages to look absolutely gorgeous and she is taking her role in the White House pretty seriously.

“It has been a whirlwind. But it’s been amazing,” Michelle told Walters. “I mean, if you think about this year, I had to get these two beautiful girls settled into a new city, into a new home, into a new school. We got a dog. I visited eight countries with my husband. I planted a garden. I’ve started a mentoring program. It has been everything. And now, here we are at our first Christmas in the White House.”

The list included celebrity personalities like Lady GaGa, Adam Lambert, Sarah Palin, Kate Gosselin, Glenn Beck, Tyler Perry, Brett Favre, Jenny Sanford and Michael Jackson’s three kids (Prince, Blanket and Paris).

The search engine that rules the world wide web, Google, is under fire because of a racist caricature of First Lady Michelle Obama that comes up has the first result for ‘Michelle Obama’ image search. Google explains their search engine works with an algorithm that takes many different variables in account.

“We apologize if you’ve had an upsetting experience using Google. We hope you understand our position regarding offensive results. Search results are a reflection of the content on the web. Our search results simply reflect what’s out there,” Google spokesman Scott Rubin explained. “According to the way our algorithm works, when we try to deliver the most relevant search results based on other pages that link to it and so on, this is what is returned.”

“A site’s ranking in Google’s search results relies heavily on computer algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page’s relevance to a given query,” the statement goes on to say. “The beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our search results.”

The Google team uses the house ad to hold the image at arm’s length. “Sometimes Google search results from the Internet can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries. We assure you that the views expressed by such sites are not in any way endorsed by Google,” the statement says.

Google is trying to use different strategies to make sure the general public understands that it does not have anything to do with which images appear in our searches and is now using an ad right on top of the offensive image to explain it. What I find absolutely unbelievable is the fact that Google offers ‘Michelle Obama Monkey’ as related search keywords. How ironic!?!

First Lady Michelle Obama looks absolutely classy in a beautiful red dress on the cover of the special ‘Women Of The Year’ issue of Glamour Magazine (December 2009). Michelle talks about fashion, the importance of having real role models, investing in yourself and even gives good advice about what to look for in a man.

Here are some highlights from First Lady Michelle Obama Glamour interview:

On mentoring young women: “I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure can really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the world.”

On her “real” role models: “They were the people in my life. My mother, for sure. My dad. The teachers. For me, role-modeling was immediate, touchable. The children connect with who is in their lives, present and accounted for.”

On reaching out: “I was blessed throughout my career. I had people rooting for me. Look for those mentors, because sometimes they don’t find you. Sometimes you seek them out. Often, they will be flattered and glad to lend a hand.”

Don’t put yourself last: “I always try to put my kids first, and then… put myself a really close second, as opposed to fifth or seventh. One thing that I’ve learned from male role models is that they don’t hesitate to invest in themselves.”

On seeking the whole package when dating: “Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, who are you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. You should always feel good.”

On setting her own fashion standards: “People are going to have opinions, and they have a right to, when you’re the First Lady especially. You’re representing the nation. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices I make first.”

Michelle Obama graces the cover of Vogue Magazine March 2009. Michelle wears a magenta dress by designer Jason Wu, who also did her Inaugural Ball gown (photo here). The first lady confesses she is trying to adjust to her new life in Washington DC. The 45 year-old mom is searching for a church for the family and trying to keep life normal for the two first daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Michelle says: “I’m going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can. But there’s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids’ school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents.”

Michelle looks beautiful in the Vogue cover. The first lady title actually looks good on her and she seems to be a very down to earth woman. Can’t wait to read the whole interview.

First Lady Michelle Obama is none too happy about toy maker Ty using the names and likenesses of her two daughters, Sasha and Malia, to create two new dolls.  She went as far to say that Ty was “inappropriate.”

Ty, the toy company that rose to fame in the 90′s from their extremely popular Beanie Babies, has named two of their new ethnic dolls ‘Sweet Sasha’ and ‘Marvelous Malia’ according to CNN.

The first lady’s office said Friday Ty was out of line. “We feel it is inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes,” said a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama in a statement.

A Ty representative told CNN the company generally avoids naming dolls for “any particular living individual,” because doing so might interfere with how kids use their imaginations to play with them. But they wouldn’t reveal the source of their inspiration for the new figures, telling CNN that information relating to the development of the company’s merchandise — including how it comes up with products, product names, and trademarks – is proprietary.

Welcome to national fame and popularity. I have a feeling the girls probably like the dolls. I know I would have been super-pumped to have had a My Little Pony G.I. Joe named after me as a kid.  I disagree with Michelle on her statement that the two girls are private citizens.

For better or worse, when your husband becomes President, the entire family becomes national figures and celebrities in their own right.  I believe it is even more true when you have your daughters do interviews with you on TV and you bring them on the stage at conventions and campaign rallies for curb appeal.  Michelle should save her energy.  She is going to have a lot larger battles to fight in protecting her daughters, than the issue of dolls sharing her girl’s names.
