FOX News Detroit’s ‘Love Doctor’ might be into some weird stuff.
Michelle Obama had a few many wardrobe changes in the past four days, and the press is definitely taking notice on her fashion choices.
By wearing clothes from up-and-comers such as Wu, Toledo, Narciso Rodriguez and Thakoon Panichgul, Obama is ushering in a new generation of talent and writing the next chapter in American fashion. . . .
“She’s never been about making clothes to make herself famous,” said Rosemary Brantley, chairwoman of the fashion department at L.A.’s Otis College of Art and Design, where Toledo has taught since the 1990s. “She’s about flattering the figure, and she’s curvaceous herself. Everything she does is thoughtful. She would never bang out a dress with a normal side seam.”

Several hundred people gathered yesterday in in DuPont Circle, D.C. to throw shoes at a large inflatable George W. Bush. A sign reading “Give Bush the boot” hung from the figure while onlookers tossed various types of footwear. Over 1,000 pairs of shoes were donated for the event. From Nymag.com:
There were various methods of attack: Some tied laces together and try to get the shoes to hook on the outgoing president’s nose. Others threw the shoes too hard and sent passersby scattering, arms covering their heads. A group of effete French youths threw with all their might but couldn’t even get the shoes near the doll.
