Apparently, Michelle Obama. Culture critic Robin Givhan makes a judgment call on the first lady's vacation wear.

The first lady stepped off Air Force One during the Obama family's recent mini-vacation out West wearing a pair of moss-colored shorts. They were not the kind of knee-grazing Bermudas or pedal pushers that the fashion industry has long advocated as work-appropriate sportswear during the summer months. They were not tailored, nor were they masquerading as a skirt. Michelle Obama was wearing play shorts -- the kind of casual cotton fare that a woman might choose for a family outing when her itinerary includes hiking around the rim of the Grand Canyon on a hot summer day, which is precisely what the first lady was going to do.

Obama, who joined the president and their two daughters for an excursion to the national park, looked like any other American tourist. Indeed, many sad-sack sightseers could take a few lessons from her style. The shorts fit her figure; she was not wearing a souvenir top that read: "My family went to Washington and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." She was not sporting a fanny pack. Or wearing beaten-up rubber flip-flops. She looked fine.

But that doesn't make the ensemble okay.

This is just another example why Michelle Obama will never be taken serious by intelligent people. She is making her statement with her selection of clothes but she will never be ever in the class of Kennedy or Clinton or Bush, etc. etc.

The next danger is connected to guys russian ladies dating. Among the Americans, who want to wed Russian ladies, are great number of divorced males in the age around 40 years -these are people who didn't cope to become eventually house holders russian dating ladies. In the last years, American and Russian newspapers keep on publishing harrowing stories russian singles dating regarding Russian ladies (as well as the Ukrainian girls and other residents of republics of former Soviet Union), who, to put it mildly, have not been that happy in such marriages. Somebody is russian american dating whipped by his husband, other is deprived of being with her child, and somebody is even killed, and the corpse is digged in the forest agencies russian dating. The agencies usually don't inform clients who will to marry to a foreigner about the awful background of russian american dating - since it is not advantageous. In Washington State, for example, lately has been passed the law, under which the marriage agencies are forced to inform the probable brides in their mother language russian dating bride that they possess a right to ask an authorized document regarding the availability of convictions and preceding marriages with the foreigners from their men particularly, because of the criminal cases, committed against the fiances - emigrants, dating russian bride which occur more frequently.

I agree with Robin. Mrs. Obama should recognize that women in her position dress for the public spaces and private spaces. She does not seem to think that a suit is appropriate attire for meeting the Queen of England or attending a funeral, but blouses with enormous bows are right for any occasion. She does not always demonstrate the judgement about "what to wear not to wear" that one would expect of an attorney in her mid-forties, who has spent time in public life.

Ms. Obama is on vacation, not attending a fashion event.

It's amazing that critics (or people who get paid to spout opinions) such as this one are able to win prizes (a Pulitzer) for this kind of stuff. The Pulitzer Committee's reasoning for rewarding Ms. Givhan's contribution to spewing her viewpoints: "her witty, closely observed essays that transform fashion criticism into cultural criticism."

Sure it is.

I don't see the problem with what Ms. Obama is wearing, nor do I see why it's become a "serious" issue. Stick to the fashion runways, Ms. Givhan.

Ms. Obama's outfit cast her as an "everyday" American woman on vacation with her family, and in her usual fashion, she looked fabulous. Why would anyone think to criticize her choice- at all?
...and those are NOT short shorts.
