Why Does it Matter?

This evening I find myself asking this question to myself over and over...
 
"Why does it matter what Michelle Obama wore this morning?"
"Why does it matter what Michelle Obama wore this evening?"
"Why does it matter if she wore a dress that revealed her arms?"
"Why does it matter if she wore a dress that revealed her arms and what kind of atheletic arms she has?"
I think the Obama Family is a wonderful, beautiful family.  Together the 4 of them have shown my children elegance over the last few months.  Politics and beliefs aside...
 
I know that our world lives to gauge fashion.
 
This is thing that I struggle with...hearing on prime time TV, with my 9 yr old listening...what kind of 'arms' she has.  How beautiful her figure is.  How beautiful her athletic looking arms are.  This to me is a problem!!  Really, it is.  Maybe, it is because I am super sensative having come from an eating disorder background.  But, for the 2nd time this week I've been asked by my daughter after she has watched something that talks about, shows, or whatever the New First Family...
 
"Why Does It Matter....what you wear and what you look like?"
