Arms.



Arms. Guns. I'm referring to the body part - not the weapon, although, I'm sure some biceps could be dubbed as lethal. Michelle Obama has been the talk of the town for many reasons: she's 5'10, gorgeous, stylish, married to the president, but it is her arms stirring up the most conversation. Which, for me, begs the question: why? Is the economy that bad, that we have to focus on the first lady's body parts to distract us? Or is she just that fabulous, radiating a gravitational pull to her fabulocity? She must be proud of those things, cause she's been sportin' the bare-arm look for a minute. The critics are saying that her constant arm baring can be disrespectful to the significant of certain events, and is just too relaxed. But Michelle says to wear what makes you feel comfortable, so if the sista is comfortable bein sexy in the White House, I say handle it! Either way, the cultural infatuation with Michelle is refreshing - finally, a quality woman that ladies can look up to! Shocking!

Some other Arm inspirations:

Lina Hamilton in 1984's The Terminator, also staring our Govenor.


and the original arm'd diva: Jackie Kennedy

Whoa, Lina Hamilton is a little random on this list! But I definitely think that people are obsessing about Michelle Obama the same way people used to obsess over Jackie O. I mean, no one gave a rat's ass about Laura B., and that's for a reason!
