White House: Michelle Obama's Lavish Lingerie Shopping Spree 'False'

Three British press outlets claim the first lady closed down NYC shop to spend $50k

According to a number of British newspapers, Michelle Obama recently spent some time crafting her own version of a stimulus plan.

The Telegraph, The Sun and The Daily Mail claim that first lady Michelle Obama spent $50,000 at a New York City lingerie boutique some time last year. The reports say that Michelle Obama closed off part of Agent Provocateur, located on Madison Avenue in the Manhattan section of New York, with Sheikaha Mozah, the Queen of Qatar.

After the report surfaced, Kristina Schake, Michelle Obama's director of communications, told multiple outlets the story is "100 percent false."

The Sun tried to get Agent Provocateur's CEO Gary Hogwarth to reveal the store's secret cilent list, but he would only say the brand has attracted a number of "unexpected famous names," especially in the U.S.

The store, which has attracted singers Beyonce Knowles and Christina Aguilera in months past, sells their items for anywhere from $150 to $2,000.

Hogwarth says the store plans to be aggressive in the upcoming year, opening 20 new stores across the world.

sid, then as a vet you know that people have a right to an opinion. You fought for that right, but now because that opinion isn't something you like you threaten those you swore to protect and defend. Honestly it sounds pretty childish to me. My little brother just got done with a tour in Afghanistan not to long ago, he can't talk about about politics because of our countries very screwed up policies against it. Just because you fought for this country doesn't mean everyone has to follow your direct and believe the false reality we live in.

turnerkct, If you hate this country why stay? do you honestly think it would change all that much because it elected a mulatto? yes mulatto because he is white as well friend, you calling Obama black and supporting him for that reason is in fact racist. Especially if he that is the only reason you support the man, I could honestly care less what race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, or physical impairment he has or doesn't I just don't care for his politics. Although I'm sure brilliant minds like your will think of a way to call me racist, because lets face it facts matter very little to people that cry racism.
