This is perfection.

it was amazing obvi
also glad to see my queen mia farrow here
Mary J should have spent less time worrying about what's in the new chicken wraps and more time learning the FLOTUS' name.
I made sure she sat and watched this shit and it was incredible :')
I wonder if Ann Romney threw a bitch fit, she already has it in her head that she is the first lady lol
Michelle killed it as always! Flawless.
Those arms are the arms of a GODDESS DIVINE.
Yeah, you heard me.
But I'm thinking you meant it as a facetious compliment anyway re: how glorious her arms are.
I cried.
WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE JUST AS FIERCE.
HER FACE
EVERYTHING
JUST
FUCKING
PERFECTION
how is this? i don't have PS atm so it was harder and it's hard to pinpoint the perfect moment to capture obvs bc she's moving, but i could try again if you'd like. :)
LOL.
I wonder how much celebs are encouraging people to vote.
but I'll forever think that celebrities should STFU when talking about politics... I wouldn't put any more stock in Alyssa Milano's tweets than some other stranger bitch off the street.
Clay Aiken: She just whooped Ann Romney’s a** so hard that Ann’s horse felt it!!! #michelle2016
although that's pretty dickish. I don't like Romney's policies, but Ann seems like a nice enough person, and I'll give her a pass on being a mediocre public speaker given that she hasn't spent the last 4 years being forced into being a public figure 24/7 as First Lady.
I should say, people reporting celebrities tweets as news should STFU :P
(no offense to the OP who I'm sure is a wonderful person!)
ann does seem nice..but that's about it.
And Mobama has always been amazing...from 2008.
