Do I Have a Dress for You, Michelle Obama, Ms.Fashion Independent. Christopher Kane's Anti-Nuke Dresses are Just Your Style

via Daily Mail UKWow. I'm laughing and I think that Obama Foodorama should leave fashion to me, like I defer to them on all serious food matters.

ObFo could leave style to our beloved Mrs. O, but stirring up anti-nuke fashion is not on their agenda. Me -- I was always a rebellious child.

As the world tries to decipher Michelle's fashion message from June 9, 2009, ObFo suggests that the First Lady was responding to concerns that she doesn't promote cooking.

Michelle did in fact say that she doesn't miss the kitchen. She IS allowed to forego the egg timer, you know.

Once again, First Lady Michelle Obama takes the soft-glove approach to responding to critics. While sightseeing in London, Mrs. Obama donned a top that looks suspiciously like an apron, once again putting to rest the idea that she discourages The American People from cooking. Now she's spreading the good word internationally, too. Go, First Lady!

OK, ObFo. Did a guy write these words?

Genderbenders

I feel compelled to set the record straight that young fashionistas often wear pants under skirts, and the look has nothing to do with getting females into the kitchen.

Before I was sidetracked by ObFo's delightful fashion commentary (and I do see the apron effect, btw), I wanted to return to the UK Daily Mail commentary on Michelle's 'dumpster diva chic' look (my words, not theirs), referencing the talented, eclectic British designer Christopher Kane, a former assistant to Donatella Versace.

I can't resist sharing the fact that Christopher Kane now hates flowers. He's bored to tears, and his new thing is mushroom clouds.

Listen up, my dear ObamaFoodorama. This style trend is not about mushrooms, as in the libido-enhancing kind that belong in my Love Potions blog.

We're talking nuclear proliferation here.

Actually, we talkin' mushroom clouds from nuclear explosions in the last century, featured on the U.K. Ministry of Defense Web site. See Christopher Kane's Cultural Creative Subversive Fashion at Anne of Carversville.

At the risk of being obnoxious and over the top irreverant here, I'm thinking that if FLOTUS is in a Fashion Independent statement-making mood, she should don one of Christopher Kane's anti-nuke dresses and -- well, we will see just what kind of international rock star, global reformer Michelle Obama really is.

via Style.comChristopher Kane's mushroom cloud dresses can be a new activist statement.

ObFo can cut up one of the dresses and have it made into an apron, and Michelle can wear it in the White House Kitchen Garden, but she can also wear it carrying herbs back into the White House, implying that she herself is making dinner tonight . . . you get the idea.

The NYTimes will be happy and not let Amanda Hesser accuse Michelle of failing to inspire cooking in America.

Anti-Nuke March

Better yet, Michelle can wear a mushroom cloud dress to the United Nations, for an address on nuclear proliferation. And if she gives us enough advance warning and stops being so darn top secret about her travel plans, we will all wear our mushroom cloud dresses and march down Fifth Avenue in a stylish anti-nuke protest.

If you think the Europeans are warming up to us now, I can't imagine the love generated by such a gesture of New York Smart Sensuality fashionistas on behalf of world peace and no more nukes.

I'll bet we can even get Laura Bush, who is just dying to get in on our Smart Sensuality action. I don't know what she'll do about George W's sensuality, but Laura's an enterprising woman, who shares all of our goals.

Had she not fallen madly in love with George W, Laura would probably be a Democrat. Perhaps love does conquer all.

Come on down, Laura. We love ya! Anne
