"Yo M.O....That Election Night Dress was Da' Bomb"

It seems Michelle Obama has some fashion style admirers. Who knew anyone thought that squeezing her freakishly large child-bearing hips into some Marvel comic superhero reject's costume was a good idea?

The letters, solicited by two University at Buffalo scholars soon after the election, have been compiled into the book, "Go, Tell Michelle: African American Women Write to the New First Lady," just in time for Tuesday's inauguration.

Women of all ages and backgrounds responded to an Internet call for messages and poems, the editors, themselves black women, said. No surprise, given their own feelings of exuberance through the campaign and election.

Some read like letters to an old friend:

"I LOVED YO' RED AND BLACK ELECTION NIGHT DRESS!"

The letters were solicited by scholars, not written by them.
