Michelle Obama becomes unwitting Talbots model
Talbots, a retailer that prides itself on providing affordable clothes for professional women, was understandably thrilled to have spotted one of its dresses on Michelle Obama at a Nov. 4 White House gala to celebrate classical music.
Our understanding is that the retailer's decision to use a photo in its online catalogue is a no-no.
As we've told you before, there's a long-standing White House policy -- dating back many administrations -- against using the likeness of the president for commercial purposes. We assume that extends to his family members, although Michelle Obama's office refuses to comment.
