I notice recent frocks have emphasized Michelle's derriere. Is this a play for Black votes?//Can't remember the post about wearing your father's suits. I have had a lot of fun through the years wearing my mother's gowns,etc. from the 30's and 40's.Evening wear, mostly. Very glamorous and very unlike anything recent when taste and elegance has gone south. Over the years I have weeded her things for charity or donations. Or the trash to protect her from some estate sale pawing. I should send some to a museum/university collection. It is a sad task I postpone.
