*When will Katy Perry's 15 Minutes be up?

*And the insanity begins. I remember being furious about reporters attacking Hillary for her hair in the early '90's. I admit, I saw the first family elect on election night and thought how nice they all looked standing together, then went back to... well thinking about politics. If you had asked me, I couldn't describe what any of them were wearing, just my general impression that they rather looked the part of a first family. What sort of a*****e thinks Michelle Obama's outfit was "too aggressive" and starts attacking her for her wardrobe instead of focusing on her personality and achievements? Can we grow up already and stop attacking women public figures for how they look and start focusing on who they are? it's the 21st century, people. It wasn't cool when it was all about Palin's body; it's not cool when it's all about what message Ms. Obama's dress sends. This opinion piece saying many of the things I'm thinking: http://www.womanist-musings.com/2008/11/michelle-and-dress.html
