The Queen of Preen dons another $2500 outfit

  Michelle Obama, who recently called dramatically for more sacrifice and who just returned from skiing out west, has done it again.
  She's worn a simply fabulous outfit, valued, at a minimum, of $2,500. That wag Naked DC has the snark:

His ready-to-wear line is definitely out of the price range of most Americans, with a coat-and-dress ensemble like the one the first lady is wearing going for around $2,500 at Neiman Marcus (about $1000 for the dress and $1500 for the coat). And the pricing is pretty consistent across fabrics and seasons. The thing is, though, that the First Lady’s outfit isn’t even off the rack at the local designer department store. Nope. Her threads are custom made so that none of you peons will ever be able to replicate her look by cashing in your food stamps. No other human being will ever sport Mrs. Obama’s look, and unless, like a celebrity, she’s wearing this puppy and giving it back, it cost her (or us, depending on whether she used her First Lady clothing stipend) a pretty penny. And this is actually the second or third Peter Som ensemble we know is in the First Lady’s closet.

  The oh-so-chic Michelle O, who is touted around the world as a fashion maven, just returned from her 16th vacation (in case you were counting) just in time to admonish her admirers to give more money to her husband's campaign, which they did, at $10,000 apiece.
  The money will help her and her husband admonish the rest of us that if even one "family in this country is struggling, we cannot be satisfied with our own families’ good fortune.”
  Apparently Michelle O did not work for what she has; it's all been "good fortune."
  So do you frumpy shlubs want to see what at least a couple grand buys these days in the world of high fashion and design, keeping in mind that this garment was altered specifically for the Queen of Preen?
  Here it is.

    Yeah, I know. Looks like a tent to me.
