These are leçons des choses, lessons from things.<BR/><BR/>Michelle Obama's dress on Election Night was stunning, a black satin Narciso Rodriguez dress blasted with two patches of crimson spatters, with black bands criss-crossing her torso to emphasize her tiny waist.<BR/><BR/>Ugh, said a woman named Elaine commenting on NYMag.com's fashion blog. "I thought the dress drew the eye to her breasts and stomach."<BR/><BR/>It did, Elaine. That's what made it alluring. Women have breasts; both they and men are pleased that it should be so. Bellies are where babies come from. There's the result: Sasha and Malia.<BR/><BR/>Here finally was a Democratic woman on a political stage not concealing her sexuality but happy to celebrate it. She has been rightly praised for her fashion sense - and true, there are very few clothes that don't flatter a tall, athletic woman like Michelle - but what's startling is that her clothes reflect her self-confidence in her femininity. She is a high-earning, Harvard-trained lawyer and she doesn't have to tone herself down for anyone."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-69480695662719328402008-11-11T12:22:00.000+00:002008-11-11T12:22:00.000+00:00An acquaintance in the US security industry told m...An acquaintance in the US security industry told me, "Multiply presidential security by a factor of six."Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-53308381719313698212008-11-11T09:24:00.000+00:002008-11-11T09:24:00.000+00:00ANonymous we mix in different circles.
