THE MICHELLE OBAMA FACTOR LANDS J. CREW DIRECTOR $1 MILLION BONUS

jenna-lyons

Whether she’s a democrat or a republican, the creative director of J.Crew Group Inc. is undoubtedly happy with Michelle Obama as First Lady.

According to a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jenna Lyons received a special bonus of $1 million!

Strong sales in October prompted J. Crew last week to nearly double its outlook for fiscal third-quarter earnings, after a year of cost-cutting and inventory reduction.

Joining the company in 1990 as an assistant designer following an internship with Donna Karan, Lyons became its creative director in December 2007 and has helped steer the brand to popularity. It’s a favorite with the White House — Mrs. O. wore head to toe J.Crew while in London in April and J.Crew created specially-designed clothes for first daughters Malia and Sasha Obama for their father’s inauguration.

    someday, we’ll learn why her $1MM/yr job (for 30hrs a week) hasn’t been filled since she left.
    i bet around the same time we learn why she was disbarred.
    pbs, npr, comedy central, nbc, msnbc, cnbc, abc, disney, vh1, mtv, bet, cbs, ap, al-reuters, bbc, nearly every magazine and newspaper, and all of hollywood, and the vast majority of the nation’s education outlets and you can’t stfu about fox.
    deranged and brainwashed.
    i can’t decide it this is an ayn rand book or 1984.

    The economy is in recovery (who is that we’re recovering FROM again?); Ford posted major profit; housing is slowing rising; unemployment has finally stabilized; the rest of the world has stopped giving the US the side-eye.

    Thank you, Mr. President.

    p.s. Adam, you really should see someone about the paranoid delusion and borderline personality disorder. Maybe Fox can give you a referral.
    And evil b. you just need to go back to your hideyhole and stay there. Considering the economic devastation wrought by his predecessor and the endless TWO WARS he got us into, you probably ought to just stifle yourself.

    Look up “Andy Stern” and “Mark Lloyd” in their own words, and the “Cloward and Piven Strategy”.
    Then tell me if this is the kind of CHANGE you want.
