That being said ... The dress - overall I think it's a nice dress. I'm also of two minds about the bands in the middle. <BR/><BR/>I did not like that dress on Mrs. Obama, though. I can't put my finger on exactly what didn't work. I think perhaps the skirt length might have been wrong? Or maybe the shoe heel height and shape? At any rate, she overall she looked wonderful to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364038713571164737.post-36081342731641426212008-11-07T09:31:00.000-05:002008-11-07T09:31:00.000-05:00REMINDS ME OF A BLACK WIDOW SPIDERREMINDS ME OF A BLACK WIDOW SPIDERAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364038713571164737.post-20483264398418428422008-11-06T22:16:00.000-05:002008-11-06T22:16:00.000-05:00TO THE PERSON THAT WROTE THIS COMMENT: Some of the...TO THE PERSON THAT WROTE THIS COMMENT: Some of the comments about communism, irag and their relation to the colors chosen in the Narciso Rodriquez black/red dress worn by Michelle Obama, is absolutely absurd.<BR/>----------------------------------<BR/>To you Communism in Cuba might be ABSURD, to ME IS REAL and TRAGIC..

I am a Cuban American and have been in this Country since I'm 4 yrs old.. the Black and Red color is a symbol of Castro's <BR/>Revolution that has killed and is still killing thousands of innocent people, children included.. I googled the designer "Narciso Rodriguez" and I'm going to quote what Wikipedia wrote about Michelle's dress: "On November 4, 2008, Michelle Obama wore a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's fall 2008 collection when she joined her husband, Barack Obama, appearing for the first time as president-elect of the United States, on the stage at Grant Park in Chicago.[5] Nrciso Rodriguez was inspired to design this dress by the Revolutionary colors of the Fifel Castro Movement. The Fidel Castro 26 of July movement colors is Black and Red." if you don't believe the comment, check Wikipedia for yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narciso_Rodriguez<BR/><BR/>I AM APPALLED AND EXTREMELY OFFENDED THAT SHE WOULD WEAR A DRESS THAT SYMBOLIZES THE DEATH OF SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364038713571164737.post-53837442610272506282008-11-06T20:36:00.000-05:002008-11-06T20:36:00.000-05:00The problem is the red section of the dress is 4x'...The problem is the red section of the dress is 4x's the fabric as the red section on the model.The Designers dress is great,just not on Michelle!

Some of the comments about communism, irag and their relation to the colors chosen in the Narciso Rodriquez black/red dress worn by Michelle Obama, is absolutely absurd. I'm not from the south and as northern as you can get. I wasn't a fan of her dress but, it goes to show how the south needs to get into the millenium about their referencing crazy anolgies about someone's dress. Hmmmm, maybe why you lost the war. Wake up, it's a new day. Everybody makes mistakes/missteps on their clothing choices. Narciso Rodriquez is one of my fav designers, but I wonder what he was thinking with this dress.....I bet not communism and Iraq.

I am a Democrat and I am mad as fire. The colors last night were symbolic! His marketing campaign really showed American their true colors last night and still millions cheered. This is not rocket science if you know anything at all about marketing. And using color is the oldest trick in the book.
