Fashionistas and observers of the glamorous always have their eye out for First Lady Michelle Obama, and last night was no exception.
Stepping out for an impromptu visit to a local KFC restaurant as a promotion for her "Just Move" healthy eating and exercise initiative, the fashion icon of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue rocked the house. All eyes were on her as she demonstrated how fun it can be to work off those extra calories after a healthy bucket of fried chicken.
Observers of the First Lady were obviously enamored, as they formed a circle and clapped to the 70's hit "We Are Family" while Mrs. Obama demonstrated her moves on the dance floor.
"She's such an inspiration", said one observer. "She shows how you can eat healthy AND exercise, without giving up the foods you like. It's all about moderation and good choices."
The First Lady has been criticized over her "Just Move" initiative in the past. Right-wing critics say that she is hypocritical because she endeavors to tell others what to eat, but has been seen publicly on many occasions downing cheeseburgers, french fries, ice cream, and pastries.
"I don't listen to those critics", said one supporter in attendance at the KFC. They're just jealous because of how tone her upper arms are."
However this reporter noticed, interestingly, that the now-famous upper arms of the First Lady were fully covered for her appearance at KFC.
Regardless of whether one supports "Just Move" or not, there is no question - particularly after this wonderfully received appearance at KFC - that this First Lady has set a new fashion and fitness high-water mark for all future First Ladies to come.
