Michelle Obama got 10 new ear piercings in a single sitting
Michelle Obama isn’t afraid of a little extra bling.
On Wednesday’s episode of her podcast, “IMO,” which she shares with brother Craig Robinson, the latter poked fun at his sister’s new jewelry additions.
“What I’ve learned about you [since starting the podcast] is that you tried to get your ears pierced and thought I didn’t notice,” to which he added, “And I see you got all these new piercings in your ear.”
The former first lady revealed, “I have always thought about getting some extra piercings in my ear and just never got around to it.”
She admitted that she did try out a second earring before she had kids, “but then [she] just got lazy and stopped putting an earring in it.”
Looking to the younger generation, she was inspired by the shifting ear stack trends, calling them “more of a cluster, a constellation with twinkles.”
Though her intention was to go “in for a few,” she got excited once the process began, telling the piercer, “Oh, put one there and put one [there]. Oh yeah, let’s try one there.”
“So in one sitting, I’ve got 10 piercings,” she concluded.
While her older brother noticed the sparkling additions immediately, it took the Obama’s husband a little bit longer.
“Barack, [it] took him a couple of days,” Obama laughed.
She recalled how, 72 hours, the new additions finally caught the former President’s attention and he argued that she kept her hair down, covering the bling. Obama replied, “I don’t know. I, like, sleep with you every night, dude, you know?”
Obama is currently promoting her new book, “The Look,” and has been candid about what was expected of her style while in office, versus her newfound freedom post-term.
Covering People Magazine this past fall, the former First Lady shared that her more recent shift to wearing her hair in braids is “freedom,” adding, “Braids allow me to get them done, and then that’s one less thing that I have to think about. When I’m out of the public eye, I am swimming, I am playing tennis, and braids represent that kind of freedom for me.”
“I wasn’t sure whether the country was ready for it [while in The White House],” she concluded.
