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

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.

Well, those days are now long gone and forgotten.

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

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.

Media bias? Michelle Obama’s delightful $540 shoes versus John McCain’s shocking $520 shoes

There she was — the loveliest, most intelligent, most popular, most down to earth first lady who’s ever graced the White House – volunteering at a Washington, DC food bank.

Naturally, the press fawned over her fashion sense. She was wearing a J. Crew cardigan, an ordinary pair of Capri pants, and…what the hell…a pair of $540 sneakers by Lanvin.

These were no ordinary sneakers. No, siree. They were imported from France, made of suede, laced with grosgrain ribbons and featured metallic pink toe caps.

When reporters asked about the shoes, the First Lady’s spokesperson dismissively snorted, “They’re shoes.”

And that was that. End of story. Except for one thing.

During the Presidential campaign, however, it became a campaign issue when John McCain wore a pair $520 shoes. CNN devoted an entire report to McCain’s “Well-heeled campaign.” His shoes were used as evidence that he was out of touch with ordinary people.

We never bought this regular folks façade the press presses on Michelle Obama. And a pair of $540 seems to show that our cynicism was well deserved.

But what do we know? We’re wearing Nikes. They’re rubber and some sort of synthetic material. The laces are cotton. They set us back $29 down at the neighborhood discount sporting good store.
