The idea that designers are dying to drape their clothing on Michelle Obama because she is a beautiful woman is laughable.
This society has a well-established parameter for what constitutes beauty, and she aint it. They all know she aint it.
What's going on here is that she's a) the First Lady, b) Leftist elite, and c) Black.
Therefore they can all fawn over her beauty secure in the knowledge that in their little circle-jerk world, their pretense will not dare be challenged.
