Mrs. O had a lunch date at Good Stuff Eatery on Capitol Hill yesterday. According to the New York Post, Mrs. O ordered the President Obama burger topped with bacon, blue cheese, homemade onion marmalade and a horseradish mayo.
Mrs. O was joined by her staff, including press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld. "Sometimes you just need a burger," said McCormick Lelyveld to the Washington Post. "It was her idea."
We are loving Mrs. O's tote! Thank you for everyone who contributed links.

marabout40, i posted a link that should be approved soon but it's:
Gettyimages dot com. Do a search for "Michelle Obama". A little window pops up asking what kind of pictures you want. Click on "editorial pictures", hit Continue and VOILA! The top pictures are really high quality shots of tonight's dress.
Nice dress -- great color! And the necklace is outstanding. I'm going to guess Maria Pinto because that'll make Mara happy...(grin)
Where is Mrs T?
for everybody wanting to see pics. go to gettyimages dot com and enter white house. hope this helps.
According to C-SPAN
9:50 - Michelle will present some scholarships
10.10 - The POTUS will speak
10.25 - Wanda will give her speech
Michelle will be speaking soon, in just a few minutes, according to MSNBC.
Michelle is up now. This has to be the BEST she ever looked.
What is the point of having Mrs. O stand behind this CSPAN guy hugging these recipients?
Im only gettin gpics from election night and the Time Event
ok finally found it, she looks great!
DAMN THAT DRESS IS TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
IVA,
Because Michelle is Our First Lady 'of hugs'.
I think the dress is long
lol...president is funny...love how he laughs at his own jokes....lol, that michael steele joke made me laugh out loud.
That Steele joke was really funny!
Yes, Mimi - her dress is long. She was pulling it at the floor.
OOOO my GOD the president is so funny. I laughed my heart out. The Joe Biden on a leash was funny as well. I thought he was talking about BO....And that Joe Biden ought to get a prompter hahahhhahahaha
Oh I missed the Michael Steele joke. any Michael Steele joke is funny
GREAT JOKE ABOUT PALIN!
The POTUS had a very funny speech. I laughed at the Joe Biden jokes although I do looove him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my GOOOOOOOODDDDD, I can'tlaugh anymore, Wanda is killing me
Wanda Sykes has been kind of hit or miss. But then I think nothing is harder than stand-up and this has been a tough crowd.
lol...sleeves cost money!
I completely agree. This must be a hard room to prepare jokes for.
OMG
The speeched of the POTUS and wanda were both absolutely hilarious!!! I was dying of laughter all the way through them. I just hope the members of the right wing press don't attack Wanda for her jokes. She was very brave to say a lot of the things she did, and I hope she doesn't take any heat for it.
Hahahaha SArah Palin pulled out, thats not a good way to practice abstinence!!!hahahahhaha Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The analysts on msnbc are already giving her a thumbs down for being "too partisan." She was funny, but some jokes were flat. I loved POTUS's jokes about Rahm and mother's day, as well as Steele and Boehner jokes.
President Obama and Wanda were BOTH great, in my opinion.
I haven't laughed out loud so many times in a very long time!
Everyone is gonna be talkin' about tonight all day tomorrow!
The republican's heads are going to be exploding on talk radio tomorrow.
Wanda killed and the President was hilarious. Pat Buchanan of MSNBC is the partisan (hello, pot to kettle)
I thought Wanda was a HOOT!! She was so funny and the President was just hilarious.
Keith Olbermann was at the dinner event .. otherwise he would probably be on MSNBC right now talking about how great the jokes were!
I saw Kathleen Sebelius very briefly in what looked like an ice blue gown -- very flattering. She has a good color sense.
But getting back to Michelle's dress, I am looking in some of the pictures at the very distinctive piping detailing lining the dress. Did anyone else notice? It's very similar to the black Michael Kors dress she wore for her official portrait that had that assymetrical piping. Also, I was browsing though the Michael Kors spring collection at Bergdorf Goodman and there actually is a VERY similar sleeveless sheath in almost exactly this fuschia color, with a slightly different neckline-- v-neck, instead of rounded. It's one of his "sheath and cashmere shrug" sets. I won't link to it to avoid moderation but if you go to bergdorf goodman dot com, click on designer collections, and scroll down to Michael Kors. It's in his spring collection.
Mrs. T,
Any word yet on the designer of Michelle's dress tonight? Inquiring minds have to know!
I think her dress is a Michael Kors. I'm 90% sure.
Ed Henry from CNN, I seriously hate that guy! He just so against the president. He said That when Wanda Sykes made fun of Rush limbaugh (His kydneys Failing) and asked the president if that was too much? The first lady nodded no.
I want to see that video otherwise I would say that ED HEnry is lying.. It's comedy ofr Godsake
I think it is too, and it would make sense since they messed up with naming her dress from the Time event.
Jenna, may be MRS O wanted to make itup to Michael Kors for the other day designer mixed up. If thatt's the case it's very generous of her. KUDOS to Michael Kors being extremely professional about it
Mrs. A, I totally agree. I am looking at this lookalike dress in his collection (at Bergdorf Goodman) and I think I can even make out the same piping. It's definitely almost the same color. Mrs. O must have ordered a modified neckline.
Interestingly, this is the SAME dress Jill Biden wore to the White House Easter event! She wore it with the matching shrug, in the blue-green color. Both colors are great and this dress looked amazing on both of them. The fushchia and the green are both available at Bergdorf's. If only I had $1795 to spend on it! And the matching shrug is $750. Le sigh...
That was funny, I loved the joke about Library for the 1st 100 days. And asking Oprah to get to give the Gov's the Stim money.......LOL
Love the dress Mrs O looked radiant!
Someone had mentioned Andrea Mitchell's dress earlier. I just caught a look at it dress at the Huffpost slideshow and totally love it. It's floral and very romantic, though maybe some skinny straps would make it more proportional. And she has great toned arms!
@ Mimi,
Aside from watching internet events online, I don't watch CNN anymore. I watch C-Span and PBS. The media is crazy to me and I haven't liked Ed Henry for awhile and I really dislike John King, Dana Bash and a whole lot more of them. UUUgh! The only way to verify is to maybe look at the C-span reel again, but even if it's true I really don't care. Faux News, Rush, Hannity and Beck are irrelevant to me and I tell you, if the Obamas sat up there and never smiled and said nothing, these commentators would have something to say. Ed Henry is still mad from getting slapped down a couple press conferences ago from the Prez. The only way I have a voice is to not watch and effect their ratings.
No not the fushia dress...look at the red sheath dress right above it. Its the exact same dress in red.
Oh, Donna, you are totally right. I guess seeing the fuschia dress with the shrug threw me off. It's definitely the red one.
@Jenna I think it may very well be Michal Kors, based on what was at Bergdorf's, as you had mentioned.
I'm sure that Mrs.T is on it, and we'll know soon enough
here is a beautiful picture of FLOTUS wearing Michael Kors pink dress:

You can see updated thread @ dailykos thread title:
WH Dinner w Eye Candy (Live! Blog!) UPDATE 10 (Wanda Sykes KILLS!!!) (NOW w/ Video)
My money is on MARIA PINTO for that lovely pink shift dress. (It kinda reminds me of the Teal one she wore when giving her speech at the DNC). And the necklace for $200...who is TOM BINNS!
OK...Where are the Correspondents Dinner hot pink dress pics??? :) I'm all ready to comment on them....SD
Just saw this, I'm loving Desiree's dress. Valerie Jarret looks hot (also heard read that she changed dress to Andrea Michell's but shorter from WWD tweet)

The dress is lovely but not wow; the necklace is very charming. Not that I expect her to wow me all the time, but it's just something about that dress does not look quite right to me (although I do love the springy color). And at the risk of sounding nitpicky, I do not like her makeup tonight; it's a bit overdone, especially around the eyes. Altogether I'll give this look a B.
