i love the the first ladys dress
and the girls look so cute

I think she may be the woman they call Mama Wilson, a long-time friend. She does a lot of art activities with the girls.

I absolutely love the canary yellow dress! …but it's a little too short.

I remember her from one of the Ebony articles – I think they call her ' Mama Kay'. She's the one that braids Malia's hair.

The girls look adorable. There are more cute pictures of them in this gallery of pictures from Russia and Italy. More closeups of Malia while in Rome.

'I'm looking for my Barack': Obama brings black women hope for a life partner

“….If women of any race are expecting to find a Barack, they're bound to be disappointed, said Audrey B. Chapman, a black marriage therapist in Washington, D.C. She thinks many black women are too picky.

Some single black men are hoping Michelle Obama changes that. When the first lady met her husband, he was broke, funny-looking and a bit nerdy, said Chris Otiko, 40, a divorced podiatrist in Riverside, Calif., who said that when he was a poor medical student, black women wouldn't go out with him.

He said he hasn't seen any changes in the dating scene yet but is hopeful that Michelle Obama “will enlighten our African-American women to give guys like me a chance…..”

WhatEVER Ms. Chapman…the world is bigger than just black men for women of color today.

OOOOoooooo, I am SO TIRED of these articles about how black women are too picky. If anything, some of us aren't picky enough.

There are a zillion good single men in this country. As long as they adore you, cherish you, treat you right… they can be green with purple polka dots, for all I care.

Everybody is looking for their angle, I guess. This economy is really bad. I'm hoping “sista” Chapman got paid for this tripe.

White women need to stop projecting their anorexic tendencies andd standards of beauty on to Michelle Obama. She aint never going to wear a size 2 and have little boy hips.

Barack and complaining about FLOTUS's junk in the trunk.

The next thing we'll hear is why isn't Michelle Obama using skin whitening creams?

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

LOL, I was wonderin' if anyone would get the Axel Foley reference. Couldn't think of anything else to use, so I pick one from my favorite Eddie Murphy movie.

thanks for that link. However, you just made a bad yen worst. The Gelati looks so yummy.

She also did a lot of babysitting of the girls. I noticed that she was also with them in Paris and London. How wonderful. Those two ladies, The first Grandmother and The sitter are getting to see things they never imagined that they would see in the style that they are seeing them. I am so happy for all of them. My grandmother used to say “They are sitting on top of the world with their feet swinging over the side”. I just love looking at them. you can bet the Italians are checking out and dating every single thing the First Lady is wearing. And she is looking good….all the time. The women on The View are talking about the cost of the purse she carried and comparing it with the one she carried in New York. She is doing it….and she's doing it well. Carry on Mrs Obama…You do us proud!

Dream on AxelFoley…..President Obama didn't get this far being a fool! LOL

Nowhere! I repeat. That is the best taste. I also love the ice cream in France and was so overjoyed visiting Montreal to get that taste again. But have not found that Italian taste any place else. I do hope that also get those wonderful tastes at the bakeries in Rome. 3 years of living there and I can still never forget those wonderful foods and liquer filled pastries and the chocolate covered cherries with the cognac spilling into your mouth.

forget them! The First Lady isn't concerned. They are not her model.Mrs. Michelle Obama is Mrs. Michelle Obama…..And I love that about her. I adore this woman. And what a role model.

Oh Lord, I cannot believe it. That I have been allowed to live to see our First Black President and his beautiful family. I still have to pinch myself sometimes. They are so beautiful and I am so proud of them. I about fainted when I thought that Mrs.Robinson wasn't going to live with them in the White House. I was so glad that she said yes. This Black mother is getting the chance to live a life that many will never, ever experience. She needed to be there on a daily basis to share this experience. I have had to purchase separate hard drive because I intend to keep every speech, every picture and anything else I can get my hands on about this family and I have had my Inaugural Invitation framed to hang beside my oil portrait that I had done from one of the Campaign posters of President Obama. This is a great event in my life. Please excuse the Palinish rambling.

I covet that DRESS!

I love how as women of color, we can wear something so vibrant and sunny. I'm more partial to hot pink/magenta….
