[sarge43]

40. It's the way Oprah is laughing

Michelle just told her a wowzer. "Girl!"

[Clio the Leo]

8. Alright Jackeens, dont be holdin' out on the rest of the dress...

[Jackeens]

9. It's a beaut Clio!!!

[Phx_Dem]

31. It's so Mad Men. Did you notice the toule skirt/slip under the dress?

Want it.

[Clio the Leo]

35. Are you kidding me.........

..... I SELL tulle for a living!!! (and lace and poie de soie and rhinestones) I can SMELL that stuff, even from thousands of miles away!!!! lol

[Phx_Dem]

39. You're the toule expert, so you make the call

Third picture, if it doesn't load the one I have up.

She probably called your office looking for toule for her cool new dress, and you were out to lunch.

:banghead: Damm, I hate it when that happens!

[Clio the Leo]

42. I know, she looks like a little golden cupcake. Delightful. NT

[rvablue]

10. The prince looks downright smitten!

Simply gorgeous!

[CakeGrrl]

11. Nice pic! Now all we need is to see the shoes!

:)

[Clio the Leo]

12. stupid poltico photogs dont know what's important!

Here are her shoes from earlier today.

Snazzy!!!


I think she has as big of pointy toe stiletto fetish as I do.

[alsame]

15. Close up of those shoes

Huffington Post almost always has closeups of her shoes and accessories, FYI.

Here are the jewels from tonight's outfit.

[CakeGrrl]

22. Thanks, alsame!

[JuniperLea]

29. No hose! Just awesome, healthy skin...

Wow... She is really something, head to toe.

The brooches are wicked cool too... she always wears more than one, which I find uber cool.

[Stephanie]

48. Hose is OUT

No hose. If it's cold, wear tall boots with your skirt. If it's REALLY cold, pants. Nylons are not coming back, it's over for nylons. Thank. God.

[JuniperLea]

51. I always thought they were a female torture device...

Created by a man. :)

Some women can't get away without hose... I work in Downtown Los Angeles... I've seen some really heinous bare legs around town! Some women should stick to pants... seriously.

[glowing]

55. No, they are still good.. well the seperate piece hose, are still good

for dress up with your hubby... I have to say you are wrong about all things out.. tights/ leggings are ok with approp. top or mini-skirt when its cold.. but nothing Michelle would be wearing with that dress.

[Stephanie]

47. Priorities!

Show. The. Shoes!

[Clio the Leo]

53. five more minutes and we riot in the streets!!! NT

[JuniperLea]

13. OMG!

She is absolutley drop dead gorgeous! I think that may be her best dress to date... wow... do we know who designed it?

[Clio the Leo]

16. Again, the stupid Washington correspondents are missing the important issues.

As someone who gets her kicks of of sartorial expression, I'm lovin' it though!

Here's a semi-related article...

[JuniperLea]

28. Missing the important issues on purpose, no doubt...

Obama could rescue a baby from the mouth of a lion, change its diaper, start a college fund for it, hand it back to its grateful mother, and he'd be raked over the coals for looking upon a bare baby butt... and chastised for taking so long.

[Phx_Dem]

33. We should get the Olympics based solely on Michelle's rockin dress!

B-)

[JuniperLea]

41. I want to touch that fabric!

And the under skirting is wildly awesome! Fairy Princess stuff!

[busybl]

36. I love this dress

but how in the world does she walk in the pointy toe shoes? I'd be limping.

[Clio the Leo]

43. the point extends past your toe.....

... it's one reason why I like them. I wear a size 5 and they make my feet look longer.

[goclark]

38. Come on and bring that Gold to America

Bet she is charming the socks off of them!

She is simply a knock out.

[Cha]

57. She's golden,

girl!

[roguevalley]

62. she looks like a queen. beautiful and young. and kind. I love her.

[Sky Masterson]

17. You get the olympics!

You get the Olympics! Everybody gets the Olympics! :D

[Clio the Leo]

19. Is anyone else confused?

Why cant Oprah just BUY us the Olympics?

"Look under your chair Mr. President! It's the Olympics!!!!"

(but then again, she may have! who knows)

[Sky Masterson]

25. No shit.

C'mon Harpo!! Up the greenbacks. :D

[Stephanie]

49. +1

Why can't we recommend replies?

[Clio the Leo]

18. Ok now *I* am worried because Michelle looks worried....

..... her meeting with the IOC must not have gone well.



(Har har ...... you think they just flat out TOLD her we were getting it? lol)

[Clio the Leo]

20. And check out Lula.........

.... the President of Brazil.

(with the beard, two rows back)


Someone's jealous!!!! No way Pele tops OPRAH!!! lol

[Jackeens]

21. Clio?

"No way Pele tops OPRAH"?

Step outside, now



:rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

24. lol .......... FINALLY.............

.... your bias as a "fur'ner" comes in! (just kidding of course!)

Now here's a serious question ......... is Oprah as popular world wide as she is here? That's what I dont get. Sure, here she's one of the top celebs in the nation but is she even known globally?

But back to Pele ..... all I know is, when I was in college, I could step outside of my dorm room every day at 4pm and you could HEAR Oprah ALL OVER the WHOLE building because every TV in the joint would be on her show.

Pele ........ well ........... yeah ...... notsomuch.

[Jackeens]

27. Well......

You Murikin you :rofl:

Not really sure how popular Oprah would be in my neck of the woods (ie Ireland and Britain - we Irish get their channels for free, it's a very privileged position).

Her show isn't on any of the main British channels (BBC, ITV, etc), just on the smaller ones, so her audiences wouldn't be too big - she'd be well known, but nothing like the phenomenon she is in the U.S.

But Pele! Actually, considering he retired over 30 years ago he's probably an historical figure to most, rather than someone they remember playing, but yeah, definitely, he's the stuff of legend in Europe, it being a football (**cough** soccer) stronghold. Still regarded by most as the greatest player of all time - except in Argentina, Maradona's their man.

PS I met Pele in Dublin once, my heart is still pounding :blush: I couldn't believe he was real, I assumed he was sort of made up, like Superman.

[Clio the Leo]

30. Yeah but did Pele ever say........

"You told Harpo to beat me!!!"

"....... I LOVE Harpo .... God knows I do ....... BUT I'll KILL HIM DEAD before I allow him to beat me!!! ...... you oughta bash Mr's head open and think about Heaven later!"

It's the STUFF OF LEGEND I tell you!!!!!!! LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! :)

[Jackeens]

32. Well, no! But....

....he did, eh, star in Escape to Victory with Sylvester Stallone. :blush:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i5KjchN3I8 (The first 10 seconds will do!)

[Raine1967]

50. Can I brag a bit? I was friends with Pele's daughter in college,

She was so cool and down to earth -- and quite the artist. (We went to Parsons School of design in NYC)

She knew her dad was the shite, but she was raised to be her own person.

I always liked Pele -- being a NY'r -- but after getting to know his daughter - I felt like he was a really cool dad.

[Jackeens]

52. No!!!! That's fantastic!

Damn, I couldn't even have spoken to her, I'd have been so overwhelmed by the fact that her Dad was Pele.

Great story Raine1967!

[Beacool]

59. Pele and Maradona, the best of the best.

No other players have come even close. Not Beckman, not Ronaldo, not Ronaldinho, not Messi........

:-)

[Beacool]

58. Pele is a god for most of the sports world.

Pele and Maradona are arguably the best football players to ever play the sport. Brazil and Argentina, some of the best football in the world. Oprah doesn't even come close to being as well known worldwide.

:-)

[FrenchieCat]

23. Somebody's positively glowing,

and it ain't Lula!

[Clio the Leo]

26. Do you think she's humming "I gotta feeling" by the Peas? lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMpSa9OF2AM

[Stephanie]

46. She looks so gorgeous there

A bright star in a sea of gray.

34. "And then Grayson said . . . "

44. In related news...

President George W. Bush, has sent First Lady Laura Bush to West Virginia to secure Hank Williams Jr. and Toby Keith to appear in a concert to be held at the 1st Annual Crawford Texas bull testicle, and fatback festival in March.

You know, we don't even have to try to look awesome when we really want to.

[Jackeens]

45. "bull testicle and fatback festival"

54. Edgar Degas, 1834- 1917

[Beacool]

56. I love Degas' ballerinas.

He made several versions of that sculpture. Have you ever visited the Musée d'Orsay in Paris?

:-)

[Clio the Leo]

60. Only in my dreams. NT

[Beacool]

61. It's one of my favorite museums.

Every impressionist painting that you're familiar with is there. I like it far more than the Louvre. The Degas ballerina that you posted is there too.

I remember one summer evening being on the terrace of the d'Orsay looking at the domes and roofs of the buildings bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. It was one of the most beautiful views of Paris I had seen, it brought tears to my eyes.
