ADDED: I've seen faces on shirts but I can't remember ever seeing a face on clothing below the waist. I went looking and found this from Jean Paul Gaultier in the 1990s. I think it works because the faces are small and numerous, making it not that different from, say, a floral print.Barack Obama "is really messed up. I'm giving him some time because this beautiful skirt that my stylist Meredith Koop picked out that is my favorite portrait of my mom. He didn't know it existed until just a few minutes ago. I've had a few weeks to settle down"

I could not get all the way through it. That has to be the most bizarre and painful thing I've seen since the Chicago flacktower.

This could go sideways easily. For now I am confused by exactly why the head-skirt is messing him up.
Yes, I know the German bomb shelter spelling is Flaktower. But in English a "flack" is a PR person whose job is to make shit smell like roses. That is the purpose of the tower so I'm going with flacktower.

Having my mother-in-law's picture on my wife's lower half would certainly mess me up.
To be really pedantic, the German is FLAK which is an acronym for Fliegerabwehrkanone

He looks like he's being shamed like a little boy, and he looks really mad that it's having that effect on him, in front of an audience.
Who puts a portrait on a skirt? Her taste rivals Jill's, but in an entirely different vector.
The skirt does hide her "meat and 2 veg" very well.

Obama is messing up the skirt.
“They [Iranians] laughed at Obama, and they said he’s a stupid son of a bitch!” PDJT describing the Iranian reaction to Obama giving them pallets of cash.
Obie certainly looks the part here.

Funny way to spell 'beard'
Prezzy Momjeans has a moment…
Well, you have to admit, she is rather mannish!
She seems comfortable wearing it — only a short while ago she was seething with indignity about having to put herself together to go out in public.
The portrait should’ve been flipped to her backside.
Which is the side she presented to the country far too often during the 8 years (12?) of 0bama’s infamous Reign of Error.
The dress is a little disconcerting. At first glance it looks like some photoshop or CGI effect. Would it have to have been custom made? Expensive? Bargain basement cheap?
"Michelle's arms" were the subject of rapture in the media for a while. Weren't they supposed to be toned and muscular or something? Here they look like two sticks.
GUSHING. so much gushing.
Vapid vapid gushing. gushing. gushing.
Soviet gushing.
While the Obama's enjoy their many multi-million dollar mansions all over the world - Obama's foot-soldier, Newsum-blows up water storage.
Obama and Islamic Theocracy = his kind of theocracy.
Ignore the subjugated women - OK Michelle?
Are they still living together? How did he "not see it until just a few minutes ago"?
My wife observed that the face looks like Muhammad Ali, the boxer.
2 things I never liked:
photos on clothing,
spelling out words in songs
Wait, one more thing I never liked: The Obamas.
I miss Joan Rivers

You win the internet today!
Isn’t there some catty gay guy what does Joan’s fashion schtick now?
In the immortal words of the late, great Dan Hicks.........how can we miss you when you won't go away?
Silly Michelle. Skirts have ALWAYS messed up Democratic politicians.

Indeed
I thought it was a photoshop.
Amen, Charlie @11:33am!
I thought it was michael Jackson.
And he doesn’t need a skirt to mess HIM up…
I'm guessing her point was to respond to the MMA fracas by leaning into it? Look, my mom also looked like me... or something.
She didn’t tell her husband what she was going to wear? Didn’t they come to the event together? Don’t they live together?
They think it's still 2008.
Don’t they live together?
It was staged. They don't do spontaneity.
Virtue signal SIGN:
"Bring back our girls"
Do you follow thru - Michelle? Nope.
“Does this skirt make me look fat?
“Fat? No, stupid yes?”
Michelle, ma beau
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma beau
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
There is nothing to say. Let Barack heal.
Of course he's the one who wears a skirt at home.
It's always about them.
Bizarre iconographyy is the result of therapy three times a week for 16 years. Mommy, where are you?
Her mom has a suspicious bump on her head.
Are there norms governing the conduct of ex-presidents? There ought to be.
Why cant they go away
How can we just let you eat your waffle if you won’t go away?
You wouldn’t mistake Michelle’s outfits for couch upholstery.
"I thought it was michael Jackson."
Obama, are you okay? Will you tell us that you're okay? Are you okay Barack?
For some reason that just looks super weird and creepy.
Dumb. It isn't about YOU!!! She wasn't President Divider. She was just his hateful, America hating partner.
Hahahaha!!!

From a Vanity Fair interview last year of Meredith Koop (the stylist Obama referenced), this is what she considers Obama's standout look during her time as First Lady. https://d1whnsnph6411a.archive.ph/xao1i/9179edcb11608fb24038e5271ee3b6323a549df7.webp
As for now, "When I dress her, when I’m styling her, I don’t look at her and go, Okay, what would a 61-year-old woman wear? I go, What does a vibrant, cool, and sexy woman want to wear, or what feels good to her as a person?"
A skirt with a person's picture on it must fall in the latter category. It's neither becoming nor stylish, and is a terrible recommendation from a stylist. Maybe that's why Barack was having trouble keeping his composure.
rehajm, EVERY catty gay guy does Joan’s fashion schtick, but do they claim that Michel is a man?
If she wasn’t declared the best dressed woman in the history of the world by all the important people, i would question her taste
"Mess You Up!"

Michelle Obama had a decent sense of style before she became first lady and was given over to a stylist.
You know, if I never, ever hear from either of these two for the rest of my life, it'll still be too soon.

So, Barry, are you okay?
Are you okay, Barry?
Barry, are you okay?
Are you okay, Barry?
You've been hit by, you've been hit by a smooth political.

-------------------------------
Yeah, I'm old enough to remember when ex-Presidents followed a largely-unspoken code where they receded from public political life and refrained from criticizing or commenting upon current Presidents. As I recall the first one to break from this by interjecting himself into the limelight and publicly criticize his successors was Jimmuh Carter. Reagan and Daddy George Bush went along with the code; the Clintons did not because a) Hillary had her own ambitions and b) they had too much grifting left to do. George Jr. followed the code. Obama is the worst, ignoring the tradition completely.
Advertising.
I'm not an Obama fan, but I thought it was a sweet moment. Michelle 's skirt is unusual, but the picture of her Mom is pretty.
Who cares what she wears? She killed school pizza. That horror alone should be her eventual obituary lead.
RSM,
blink-blink-blink
bliiiiiink-bliiiiiink-bliiiiiink
blink-blink-blink
I tremble to think of the face on the back of her skirt, over her ass.
I thought that was AI.
Did she really wear that?
A picture of your mother on your skirt. Yeah, I'm not thinking I'll see my daughter wearing a skirt with my wife's picture on it. Sheesh.
Bill Clinton used to have faces below his waist. CC, JSM
Poor Obama. Poor, poor Obama.
The photo made me laugh. It is Obama standing, arms crossed, reflecting on and regretting his choices. LOL. Too late Bucko. Made your bed now you get to lie on it....with Michelle. 😉
Damn that video... Obama really wants to shave his beard.
RSM for the thread winner.
I like how the eyes follow you whenever she gets an erection.
Marion was disgusted by the company the Obamas kept. At one dinner at the terrorist Ayers and Dohrn household, she told dolt Scott Turow that she did not want her grandchildren involved with "revolutionaries"; she wanted them to go to Ivy League schools and succeed decently. Also easy for her to say. Neither of the Obama girls ever evidenced much intelligent behavior, but they could at least be admitted for skin color and ironic Legacy privileges denied to actually hard-working,smart kids.
