Michelle paints herself as the queen of arts from the Times of London reports on FLOTUS Michelle Obama's efforts to imitate Jacqueline Kennedy - from her bouffant hair-do to her enthusiastic embrace of the arts as one of her causes.

“She was speaking in a way the minister of culture would speak, even though such a position doesn’t exist in America,” said Peter Gelb, the manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. “It was as if she was almost an arts policy-maker on behalf of the White House and the president. It was highly unusual.”
Obama dazzled arts leaders when she attended the opening of the renovated American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York last Monday in a purple V-neck dress designed by Isaac Mizrahi.
