[firedupdem]

50th Anniversary Honors at the Kennedy Center.












Michelle is smoking hot! She looks great!

[SharonRB]

1. She looks amazing!

[firedupdem]

3. She really does! I really wish I could see her entire dress. n/t

[Raine]

24. Me too

I'd like to see how long it is and what kind of trim it has on it.

[FLyellowdog]

12. Absolutely stunning!!!!

[my3boyz]

54. What about Barack? Everyone going on and on

about Michelle and not a word about our president. What is he chopped liver? LOL LOL LOL LOL JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree. She looks FABULOUS!!! She is even more beautiful in person if you can believe that.

[Captain Hilts]

2. She's got a lot of make up on.

You don't need ALL of that!

[FrenchieCat]

4. She's on a night out!

She can wear make-up if she wants to! It's not like she's faking like that's how she looks all of the time, or anything! Geeze! :eyes:

[firedupdem]

8. She looks great to me...I think the last picture has funny lighting...

My girl looks great!

[glowing]

7. Not really, she's got dark lipstick on which makes it seem like more makeup.

but I'm sure she's wearing the standard "night" makeup. Her eyes aren't even wildly done.

On Edit: I would too, if I was wearing a black outfit.. make the black pop without gaudy jewlry which would seem in bad taste in a depression era.

[Phx_Dem]

16. No she doesn't need it, but evening calls for more make-up

than daytime and she wears it so well. She is simpy beautiful.

[JSK]

18. Oh, for heaven's sake

She's out for a formal evening! And I am glad to see her finally wearing lipstick with some color. Looks great on her.

[Captain Hilts]

37. I think the lipstick looks great, actually. nt

[gblady]

21. Mookie, Mookie!

[Captain Hilts]

35. Hey girl!

[Drunken Irishman]

28. Oh fuck me now.

31. LOL...You made me think of Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush w/your observation...

I always thought those two looked like a mortician applied their makeup...:D

I think the couple looks stunning...and Michelle's smile alone is her best facial asset...:hi:

[Captain Hilts]

38. I agree on all counts. nt

[shanti]

41. but did you ever see them

WITHOUT any makeup? hell no! it makes michelle much more real to me.

[Captain Hilts]

43. I agree again. THAT's why I noted it. nt

[shanti]

40. you have to admit tho

that it's obvious when she is or is not wearing some makeup. personally, i think it helps her to have at least a little on. there have been a few pics posted of her (at an elementary school?) where she had absolutely no makeup on, and she looked a little hard. i think she's a woman who really doesn't care for much makeup anyway tho...

[roody]

44. I disagree. She looks great either way.

[firedupdem]

48. Disagree. I like a first lady that doesn't have to have pancake

batter on her face everyday. That makes her more real to me. She looked great the elementary school. She looked like a regular person and not some wax figure you would be afraid to touch.

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. At the end of the day that's Mr. President Obama's wife and as long as he's happy we can't have too much to say.

[Drunken Irishman]

59. But maybe she likes it?

You know, there are women out there who take pride in their looks.

At least they take pride in making themselves look a bit classy and not plain.

My mom has red hair and is ghost white and she won't leave the house without putting on makeup.

[firedupdem]

61. I agree with that too. She looks fine with or without, and at the end

of the day it's her choice!

[babylonsister]

5. They are both hot, and I'm glad they're enjoying the perks of

their situation.

[MarianJack]

6. As I've frequently said...

...it's nice to have a genuinely elegant, charming and intelligent First Lady again (as well as a REAL President).

[Parker CA]

9. Michelle looks gorgeous in that first picture, also the others, but especially the first.

Mr. President looks like he's just having a great time. And, back at the WH...Grandma is probably hanging out with Sasha and Malia and enjoying life. What a fantastic couple to have representing our country!!

[firedupdem]

11. Amen to that! n/t

[PaDUer]

58. They weren't alone..

The president and his wife, Michelle, took daughters Malia and Sasha to see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performance on Friday night at the Kennedy Center.

-snip-

The Obamas were accompanied by Attorney General Eric Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone, and Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and his wife, Michelle.

[politicasista]

10. Nice!

:kick:

[proud patriot]

13. Wow !

:D they both look wonderful but Michelle Wow !

[Phx_Dem]

14. Now that's what I'm talking about.

Michelle looks GORGEOUS! LOVE the hair. And the President always looks gorgeous. If he ever looks like shit, that'll be news.

[jillan]

15. Michelle looks gorgeous! So great that they are out and Obama is getting away

from all the bs in the Senate.

[EraOfResponsibility]

17. Whoa! Michelle looks incredible!

oh yeah and President looks good too. hehe. :)

[Starry Messenger]

19. Aa! I'm crying again.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[firedupdem]

20. kicking

because it's been a hell of a week!

[liskddksil]

22. Its nice to see our President support the Arts!

If only our Congress would follow suit, (the Cornyn amendment passed last night equates arts centers and museums with casinos and golf courses and bars any funds for their construction in the stimulus)

[rasputin1952]

32. I have had the pleasure of seeing the AA Dance Theater on

3 occasions, the music and dance are phenominal. Each occasion seemed better than the previous one. That was one of the great joys of being in NY...:hi:

[MarjorieG]

47. Especially in the 70's and Judith Jamison. Sitting behind big afros not great.

[rasputin1952]

52. LOL...how true...

and Jamison was phenominal.

[KoKo]

55. Remember "Wade in the Waters....Wade in the Waters"....always my favorite

and Jamison was the best...

[rasputin1952]

56. Yes!...I really enjoyed that...

got to see it all 3x I saw AA. Once from the balcony, which I thought was a great visual experience...:D

[fortyfeetunder]

23. Eye-candy in the White House

They are a handsome couple!

[Raine]

25. Such a BEAUTIFUL couple!

:loveya:

[Undercurrent]

26. Picture perfect.

I hope to see more photos that show the dress better too.

[Hope And Change]

27. K & R!Thanks for posting!

[AspenRose]

29. Beautiful!

I love that outfit!!!

[shellgame26]

30. she looks absolutely amazing

She looks nowhere near 45.

[Jennicut]

33. I don't think Prez Obama looks his age either

:) They look great, love her dress. She looks real, not like a Stepford Wife.

[shellgame26]

46. This is such a fresh change

For the W.H and brand America. Watch out world. USA 2.0 has arrived!

[kwenu]

34. They are Beautiful!

[Terran]

39. God he's cute!

Sometimes I think Barack lacks a sense of humor, and then I see pictures like these, and you just know he does--not the least when it comes to himself.

And man, SHE looks AMAZING. I like how Michelle reserves major make-up for special occasions. She was hardly made up at all in those pics of the two of them at that school from earlier in the week.

[JerseygirlCT]

42. They are a beautiful couple.

And I'm jealous they get to see Ailey... I saw them once as a teen and the performance still sticks with me - Judith Jamison and those great huge movements of hers!

[HOLOS]

45. Beautiful!! K&R nt

[greenbriar]

49. what a stunning family

so vibrant

so gorgeous

so in love

so OUR first family

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. WOW! Just WOW! Thanks for sharing these. These two could have

been living well in the Hollywood Hills, but they chose to serve mankind. Michelle just seems to grow more beautiful. Go figure....

[firedupdem]

62. That makes me love them even more...they didn't flee for some

high paying jobs somewhere, they stayed on the south side of Chicago and stayed in touch with the people. I'm so proud of my President and his family and I'm proud they are representing us.

[otohara]

51. Smoking is Right

Beautiful couple -

[Eurobabe]

53. Beautiful, I never tire of seeing them.

:loveya:

[supernova]

57. Lovely pics! They both look smokin'

:D

AADT usually comes to The American Dance Festival here in Durham every summer. So, I might get to see the program our First Couple saw. :bounce:

Anybody care to join me?

60. You know what I just realized? We're gonna get to see the Obamas at the Kennedy every year

on tv...(at least the next four years) for the Kennedy Center Honors! YAAAAAY! :bounce:

[a kennedy]

63. Damn they're a fine looking couple......

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :fistbump:
