Mrs. Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, right, listen to national anthems, during a welcoming ceremony in Strasbourg, France. Mrs. Obama wore a custom-made Thakoon floral silk jacquard coat and a short-sleeve fuchsia dress.

Possibly realizing that she would be judged against a European fashion icon, Mrs. Obama, a Harvard-trained lawyer, brought her A game. Resplendent in a burgundy Thakoon coat and dress (her counterpart was in Dior), her hair coiffed into a bouffant that would have made Mrs. Kennedy proud, she stood toe-to-toe with Mrs. Sarkozy.




Mrs. Obama wore a patchwork Junya Watanabe cardigan over a teal Jason Wu cocktail dress during a visit to the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Language School in London on April 2.


As with the penguin's tuxedo, the panda's two-toned coat very likely
serves a twofold purpose. On the one hand, it helps a feeding bear
blend peacefully into the dappled backdrop of bamboo. On the other,
the sharp contrast between light and dark may serve as a social
signal, helping the solitary bears locate each other when the time has
come to find the perfect, too-cute mate.

偶爾讀到另外一引句,特別博兩位一粲:

"`Seest thou not yon cavalier who cometh toward us on a dapple-gray
steed, and weareth a golden helmet?' `What I see,' answered Sancho,
`is nothing but a man on a gray ass like my own, who carries something
shiny on his head.' `Just so,' answered Don Quixote: `and that
resplendent object is the helmet of Mambrino.'"
--Middlemarch by George Eliot Chapter 2
