Mrs. Obama Wears, Not Takes, The Veil

Cripes, what’s the fuss? Michelle Obama wore a black dress and veil to meet the Pope. Totally aPOPEriate (heh heh, I’m here all night!).

The dress is a godawful, though. I don’t care if it is by Moschino, Benedict should have declared it unholy:

It’s good that the neckline is modest, but all that poof is way off. Our First Lady does not DO frumpy, but here she’s perilously close. The veil is fine; it’s like a mantilla. It’s called respect for tradition and I’ve got no problem with it. It’s not like she’s TAKING the veil. She’s just wearing it.

Here’s a photo of a line of Important Ladies lining up to see His Holiness. I love the variety of looks and expressions, and the woman in the big beekeeper’s rig is cracking me right up:

Remember, everyone, whatever the occasion: WEAR your clothes, don’t let THEM wear YOU.
