Well heavens!
Mrs. Obama was gaining a lot of traction as the fashion icon for the everywoman when all of a sudden she stepped out of the Michellemobile – reportedly Monday – grasping a $1,000 tote bag.
Take a look-see!
Yeah baaaaby!
It’s a Reed Krakoff two-tone ribboned large tote, and you can get it at Mr. Krakoff’s website for $990, plus shipping I guess. But we don’t worry about shipping. Fedex it, in fact.
No wait a second, you can’t get it, because it’s already sold out, at least in the teal color she got.
Love it with the blue slippers, BTW. It just WORKS, okay?
I don’t know, go ahead Mrs. Obama, tote around anything you want. If you’ve got the spare cash, be my guest. C’mon now, what’s she supposed to walk around with, a plastic shopping bag from the Giant?
Just, please – please please please please please – don’t put on any more cheapskate clothes and allow press coverage anointing you the Fashionista of Affordability.
A year ago Mrs. Obama appeared on the Today show in a $35 dress. You would have thought she eliminated poverty in Bombay.
Rina Raphael, writing for the Today Show, was barely able to control herself.
Just how approachable is the first lady’s style? Michelle Obama once again made her mark as ambassador for affordable fashion when she appeared Wednesday on TODAY in a $34.95 H&M polka-dot frock from the Swedish clothing company’s current collection.
Known for her fun, casual style, Michelle accessorized her dress with a red leather belt and bright yellow shoes — an ensemble that had fashionistas and fans alike praising her coordination. When questioned by TODAY’s Matt Lauer about being called a fashion icon, the first lady responded that while’s she complimented, it’s not something she prefers to give too much attention to.
“Everybody’s got to get dressed in the morning and put on something,” she said. “I hope people find it nice, but it’s not something I focus on.”
The first lady made waves in the past by choosing outfits from popular retail companies. In 2008, she wore a $148 black-and-white, high-waisted print dress designed by Ricco — sold at White House, Black Market — on “The View.”
Yeah, you know, because you gotta throw something on in the morning. Everyone has to get dressed, right?
A big Reed Krakoff thank you to White House Dossier reader Granny Jan, who first alerted me to this and who blogs at Granny Jan and Jihad Kitty.
And for those who can’t afford such a bag during these times – or other times – you can Do the Hopey Copey.
And how about a nice White House Dossier bag for $970 less? Guaranteed to hold your stuff equally as well.

While I dig for change to put gas in my focus to go to work this piece of &^% is buying $1000 handbags with my tax dollars. What a crock. They make me sick. Don’t even try to say it is from their own money. They are disgusting. She dresses like she came from the hood. What a embarrassment for this country. Oh wait there are those of you who think this is perfect. I feel sorry for those of you with so few brain cells that you can’t see what they are doing to this country.

Ah, come on now…The Emperoress has beautiful clothes.
They were Emperoress not extra baggage to our Country.
Can you imagine if that was Laura Bush? The liberal media would be going crazy!!! Such hypocrites.
Because she can… You can’t at least not until you pay for health care for all non working, non tax paying, illegal alien, out of wedlock children, relatives of same, and Social Security and Medicare and Food Stamps and…
That is only if you are working, non-union and pay your taxes.
There is a more offensive term but I will use “neuvo rich”. Boutght and paid for by the generous American taxpayer.
That’s why Obama has to win the next election. Michelle has got a lot more shopping to do!
Her rear end needs something to help tote it
Hey! You read my mind!! It’s a lobster trap!
The Obamas are snobby Liberal elitist hypocrites in everything they do.
They have really ghettoed down the formerly prestigious White House.
WOW, that handbag cost more than my monthly mortgage.
What an awful outfit!
Michelle has about twenty well paid (some in the six figures) “assistants” that help her do her job as the First Lady. Check it out for yourselves. You wonder where our tax money goes? A lot of it goes to the Obamas to keep their Pharoh status going.
Those shoes DO NOT go with the teal bag. She is not a fashion icon she is a fashion don’t.
You could be right about the shoes.
I went back and looked at them. . .right on Alcatraz. Wow, this gal misses again. . .wonder if she does that on purpose or is she blind in one eye? She surely needs someone to set her clothes out in the morning. Get some help Moochie!
She obviously doesn’t look in the mirror after she gets dressed. I don’t blame her.
Queen Michelle Antoinette agains shows her disdain for the taxpayers of this country. She sports a $1,000 bag, purse, carry all, or whatevere it is while her subjects find it hard to get a job, provide a home and food for their family or even fill up their gas tanks. Way to go Queenie! Your subjects be damned. Not even a word of thanks for the full gas tank they provided you so you could show off your large bag. I’m talking about the tote, not the posterior.

Let them eat cake.
Hubby wastes billions. Wife wastes a thousand. That’s how the Obama’s roll.
These two are poster children for American indulgence and arrogance.
While the nation watches the price at the pump shoot up like a homesick angel, jobless claims increase, and the middle east spins out of control, these two have fun, fun, fun with hip WH parties.
“Let them eat cake!”
2012 can’t come soon enough.
I think I see pork ribs and potato chips from the Super Bowl party inside.
Or a big Mac from MickeyD’s.
Why does she need to carry a purse?
I thought she had 24 or 25 had maidens to answer her every command and demand.
I hate this bitch.

Blue non-suede shoes? Teal 1k bag…pfffft!
The real story is NO ‘leg buttah.’ She has on trousers! No sheen to blind, disrupt overhead air traffic or stain priceless antiques!
GJ…awesome ‘shout out!!!’. You go girl!!!
Does anyone remember Imelda Marcos?
Yes Bluto — M. Obama is her twin sister. Only I think Imelda had
just a tad more class. Just a smidge tho. However, both oblivious to any suffereing around them.
SAD-SAD-SAD
What did you do to Popeye, you big bully? And leave poor Olive Oyl alone!
All I can think is you must have SPS.
Thanks, Keith. I would have used the word totebag because totes aren’t as expensive as handbags which can be used for upscale events.
Some people had a little fun with the customer images on the new book about MO called Everyday Icon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/0307591433/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all
With that big of a price tag, It most certainly must be made in America by Union Labor. Ya gotta a problem that buster?
You go girl !
Only 2 years left for you and Hussein to plunder your personal “reparations” !! – Shared sacrifice rules !!
I’m no fan of the Obamas, but in this day and age a $1000.00 hand bag is no big deal. I’m not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve purchased a $750.00 Louis Vuitton bag for my wife for a special occasion. Some bags are much more expensive. I’d give Michelle a pass on it.
You must have done something really bad that a bunch of flowers or a less expensive gift wouldn’t have been sufficient :-) Anyway, $1K for a bag is huge even today. As for Vuitton, that is a brand that is easiest to imitate. I have inspected Vuitton fakes at the local fleamarket and honestly, not even an expert can tell the difference.
It’s a tote bag not a handbag. I would have used that word in the title. Tote bags are utlitarian and rarely costs $1000.
Let them eat cake……Do as I say….not as I do.
To make myself clear. Keith….. you have SPS. She has more class than you could even dream about. What a little man.
Fashion icon for the everywoman? Spare me. Give me style and class any day.
Let them eat cake.
Why all the fuss? Looks like a cheap plastic shopping bag to me.
“Idiocracy” Life imitating art!
A decorated sack costs $1,000.00 ?
Exactly what kind of person is impressed with that ?
I know who can afford such bags… rich folk. They have all the money, all the tax breaks and all the congresscritters so why aren’t they hiring?!? Seems if capitalists had any answers they would have sold them to us. Time for a new direction folk.
Shall we talk about Nancy Reagan’s Adolfo suits? For a First Lady, she is more like Betty Ford: stylish but not overly so. I don’t want any president’s wife to look like a …well…I want her to look decent. And I actually liked some of Nancy R’s Adolfo, though it pains me to admit it. As for the “price”, I once bought a $1200 bag for $150 at an outlet retailer.

michelle robinson was a pig when she was a no-show at her hospital job, and she is a pig in the east-wing.
her husband barry has spent his adult life trying to prove to his pig wife he is an african american, even with trying to fit in with convicts and wannabe dictators, she is still trying to measure up. they will destroy this country to get even with the kenyans who sold the sub saharan africans into the slave trade, to the brittish. Sarkozy spits on the ground obama walks on and now hillary thinks Sarkozy should carry obamas water on the libya declaration?
She has the grace of a linebacker.
She bought it with all the money she saved America on obesity programs & health care.
What a faker!! A real woman of the people! Expensive Spanish vacations…pizza flown from Chicago, special plane flights to New York to see theater. Michelle Obama, just like her husband (60 days of golf in 24 months as President, plus 18 weeks of vacation) is a first class phony, a hypocrite and an empty suit. Please PLEASE help the Republicans send this arrogant loser back to Illinois so we can get down to repairing the damage her and her incompetent husband have done to this once great country.
Crime pays.
“Sally said, Crime pays.”
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ya got me with that one, Sally. . .hahahahahahahaha, truth can be funny sometimes.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Hats off to you.
10 dollars on the streets of ny city
Mrs. President needs to stop telling the rest of us to “SACRIFICE” our STUFF.
Liberals love to tell everyone how to spend their money and want to take our money to give to those THEY think deserve it.
Let them eat cake is their motto! It makes me puke!
Tacky, John. Clean it up.
Those two are going to party, spend, travel and squeeze every dime they can right up till the new President is sworn in. By the way that will require a new going away outfit and I will gladly pay for that:)
By the way, she has 40 people waiting on her beck and call. Did ANY republican president’s wife EVER do that?
And Laura Bush was bullied because she wore faux pearls.
Libs are hypocrites.
I guess she should be handcuffed and thrown in jail with all the other rich who don’t care about the underclass……..Isn’t that right Mr. Michele Moore
