Today marks the 46th birthday of First Lady Mrs. O. Mrs. O has been treated with a few celebrations over the past few days, first with White House staffers on Friday, and last evening, with the president and a group of Chicago friends. Last evening the group spent more than four hours at Nora in Washington, D.C.. Lynn Sweet has the full scoop, here. Mrs. O chose a black dress for the fete, topped by a black coat embellished with gold lattice detailing.
Update: A gold star for reader Kathryn, who reports that Mrs. O's coat is Narciso Rodriguez, as seen here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS O THE MOST FANTASTIC FLOTUS EVER. HOPE YOU AND THE POTUS HAD A GOOD BLESSED TIME ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
@lorns...Thank You, so very much! I appreciate your response. I, too, have a mentor whose wisdom I echo! One who is ever present with me, reminding me (when needed) that one's own 'value' is not open for interpretation by mankind. Even though, mankind thinks that it is! LOL!!!
P.S. Briefly looked into the CHAT discussion board (thanks to lorns), very nice! Topics are really informative and fun, Mrs. T.
Ms.M - More great words. Visit the chat group, top left, different topics there
and more 'one on one' based.
I have spent thousands of hours on learning more about behaviour and improving
one self. I see lives not moving, in a rut, and what yu said about 'value' and 'equal level'
etc. came at a time when I find myself surrounded by people who have a completely
different belief system than I have. I have entered a new demension of awareness
but as my mentor would say "they have not moved" so now I have to move (smile)
I have a great son who enlightens me and remind me that I have to separate myself
from so many situations to move forward in life. So many people don't even realize how
& why they're trapped and cannot do anything about it, and folks around them don't
try to pull them up. So thanks again, and I'm glad yu were brought up with those qualities.
My mom reached out to people too, so I was exposed to that character trait - some rubbed
off (smile).
Both outfits are stunning. Happy belated birthday to the very beautiful Michelle Obama.
Wish more years will come along.
Happy birthday to you Michelle Obama
