Today, as I sat eating my pooridge, fruit medley; reading the NY Times article on  Dr. James McCune Smith's backroom, radical politics and giggling to myself at all my "fashion friends" going IN over Michelle Obama's BRILLIANT choice of a swath of Alexander McQueen's legacy for the state dinner...I had a thought, "Did you see what I see!?"  In a lot of the photos I have had the pleasure of seeing of the FLOTUS she looks...ok!  [Beautiful, statuesque Yes, but not happy.]  This game of politics is not nice, easy or ever makes sense. 

The OTHER news from this state dinner was that we had struck up a deal with the Chinese "around $45 billion in exports to China. The money will come from a deal with Boeing worth around $19 billion, along with energy and rail contracts. The jobs are expected to create 235,000 jobs in 12 states."

Oh and yes,  "China still faces many challenges in economic and social development,” said Hu. “And a lot still needs to be done in China in terms of human rights.” But, he continued, in order to build a relationship with the U.S., American would need to employ a “principle of noninterference in each other’s internal affairs.”[NY Mag]

So, here is the connundrum - How do their personal politics rest with having to strike up a deal with a country that will admit that while "it" has serious human rights issues (the killing of Tibetan Monks for land at that top of the list], we need to mind our business...if we want to stay in business...to the tune of $45billion...for 235,000 jobs...through a [military] deal brokered by BOEING [private sector investment and gain]? 

From the look on Michelle's face...none too pleased!

[MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER playing on FIP]

She is a brilliant, accomplished, INFORMED woman/mother/human rights advocate watching her reflection be thrown to the political dogs...all while wearing couture!!! 

Now THAT's FIERCE!!!
