Michelle Obama has been noticeably missing from the headlines over the past few weeks while her hubby deals with the rise of that other lady.

But at least part of Michelle's absence can be attributed to a secret meeting with one of the country's prominent, er, tastemakers.]]> BS 2008-09-18T10:00:30-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/8/14/145613/584
