J. Crew booted: Michelle Obama orders custom, thigh-high leather boots from expensive French designer

How many cows died to cover the First Lady's lovely thighs?

How many cows died to cover the First Lady's lovely thighs?

Remember way back in the good ol’ days (Translation: prior to November 4, 2008) when Michelle Obama created the fiction that she was just a regular gal who shopped at J. Crew?

Well, those days are now long gone and forgotten.

The Most Glamorous First Lady in History just placed an order for two outrageously expensive pairs of custom-made, high fashion boots — one pair of flat black boots and another pair of calf-length boots in beige buckskin — from French designer Robert Clergerie.

The First Lady must be getting ready for another appearance at a charity food bank and the $540 pair of Lanvin tennis shoes she wore last year are undoubtedly completely worn out by now.

Of course, outrageously expensive clothing was not part of her image during the presidential campaign. Back then, the media helped created the fiction that she regularly sported affordable sweaters carefully selected at J. Crew and reasonably-priced Anne Klein dresses purchased with pennies scrimped and saved from her meager household budget.

The price of Empress Michelle’s new shoes hasn’t been revealed. But we are willing to guarantee that it’s more than you paid for your last pair of shoes. Maybe even more than your last house payment.

Surely Ingrid Newkirk and her wacky PETA people are just beside themselves with anger at Michelle for poor livestock that were slaughtered. But, on the other hand, there are now fewer cows releasing methane into the air and damaging the earth’s atmosphere…wow…this is a liberal nightmare!

But Obama got a letter saying that perhaps he shouldnt have killed that fly. I am thinking PETA would be on the side of the cow here… IF they find out which I doubt they will.

I hope “Those Boots Were Made For Walking” right out of the Whitehouse. Those are “Your Stimulus Tax Dollars at Work”.

Because she lied and said she was just a “regular gal”. She Lied! So did Obamananna…………… Whether you want to hear it or not, the Obamination is the worst POTUS we have had; worse than Carter and I never dreamed that possible. BTW, with the pork barrel stimulus, maybe it should have been used to buy French boots for the poor. It would put a lot of Frenchmen to work. Just like the Wind Power Generators from China. The stimulus packacge put a 1,000 Chinese to work and we will get maybe 10 American jobs (if we are lucky).

The issue is the hypocrisy. Is it “important” vis a vis Climategate healthcare and illegal immigration- not at all; but, it is another example of the cult of personality that surrounds these two. So are we going to judge the First Lady by the Palin standard? No. Where did the money come from? Why is this consumption glorified in these economic times? I could go on. Unfort the average soccer mom will just think this is wonderful and drink the koolaide

C’mon, folks, a gal needs something to wear when she’s doing a photo-op dishing out food or free cell-phones at a soup kitchen.

Right on!
But more importantly, since she’s The Most Glamorous First Lady In History, she is the natural leader to revamp the old tired (soooo last century!) Jack Booted Thug Look! Coming soon to a CosmO/Vogue/Vanity Fair/O cover!

I’d be willing to bet this was bought with her own money. So I’m not exactly sure what you’re all bitching about. And she still does wear a lot of J. Crew so put a cork in it.

How about buying American? You know her idiot husband is responsible for the 10.2% (and climbing) unemployment rate. You can’t keep blaming Bush.

Don’t tell the Liberals what comes after a Trillion, they’ll be throwing that number around like chump change too.

Bet you still believe in Global Warming and Cap and Tax don’t you?

Bet you think the Liberal Health Care Bill is great. Death Panels? Sure are, it will be the same damn board that just changed their recommendations for breast cancer exams……………………………

Obama has to be impeached before he destroys this country.

I am all for a woman have her shoes as she likes it especially if they are bought with her own money however I agree buy american while you are the First Lady AND there is a recession. If this money was not hers but her husband’s salary I even got a problem with that because his salary are my tax dollars.

Did they come with a matching corset and whip? Or is she going to get a night gig as a pole dancer downtown to pay the 30K per child per year tuition at Sidwell Friends school for Malia and Sasha. Lots of moms have to make this kind of sacrifice for the kids, so I commend her for doing her share…..

In response to Johnny…

If we use your reasoning, Bush probably should have been impeached in the first week…get an education then talk.
