Michelle Obama Complains About Having a ‘Glam Squad’ During Her Time as First Lady (VIDEO)
Michelle Obama shared frustrations about her life in the White House during a recent appearance on the Jamie Kern Lima Show. The former First Lady described relying on a “glam squad” as a practical necessity rather than a luxury.
“I know having a glam team – a trifecta – it feels like a luxury, but it was a time necessity. There’s absolutely no way that I would be able to do my hair and makeup and have clothes ready that fit because rare is the woman who can live off the rack,” she said.
This isn’t the first time Michelle Obama has publicly reflected on the challenges of her privileged lifestyle. Earlier this year, she spoke on her podcast about the costs of living in the White House.
“It’s expensive to live in the White House. Many people don’t know. I mean much is not covered. You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat… even travel. If you’re not traveling with the president, if your kids are coming on a bright star—which is the First Lady’s plane—we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane. It is an expensive proposition and you’re running for two years and not earning an income,” Michelle Obama said.
Despite these complaints, Michelle Obama continues to maintain a high-profile, luxury lifestyle, recently spotted carrying a $4,000 Bottega Veneta handbag.
She also spoke about the challenges of being a Black woman in America, noting that Black women often do not have the opportunity to express their struggles. “We don’t articulate, as Black women, our pain, because it’s almost like nobody gave us permission to do that,” she said.
Her brother added, “Or, and we have to ask ourselves, the men in our lives, why wait to be asked? It seems like what we go through is obvious. Maybe we’re not actually complaining but we are actually living life out loud.”
