“He’s always asking: ‘Is that new? I haven’t seen that before.’ It’s like, Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.” - Michelle Obama, on dodging her husband’s inquiries about her shopping, to the New York Times.

Yet one more reason I heart Michelle Obama.
Not everything is a PR stunt, guest 1. Michelle strikes me as the kind of down-to-earth woman who would say that sort of thing to her husband.
It's about damn time we had a couple in the White House who don't look like their marriage is more for show than for real.

I love that- can you imagine John McCain even noticing something his wife has on? Political-ish posts on his site always concern me, because of the number of seemingly 15 year old pseudo republicans that chime in. I really adore the writers on this blog-- the commenters appear to mostly still be in high school, though.

Yes, but does she actually have to buy anything these days? Isn't practically every designer in the world literally begging to give her freebies stuff?
Evidence they're reassuringly 'normal' or just a PR moment to try and convince us..
