Michelle Obama's "Star Trek Belt"

An excerpt from a NYTimes article:

"Her husband, Mrs. Obama says, notices everything. In fact, she has learned not to wear a certain gray metallic belt when the president is around.

“Barack calls it my ‘Star Trek’ belt,” the first lady said in an interview this week. “He doesn’t understand fashion.”"

Yet more evidence that there is a Trekkie in chief, or at least someone with an awareness of Star Trek.

It doesn't show a picture. I wonder if it was this one...

That outfit she is wearing in the picture could be a Trek Uniform. It only needs is a Starfleet Comunticator badge. And maybe the belt.
 
Clicking on the article's link to Star Trek leads to the discovery that Spock is the "first mate". I guess that makes him Kirk's "little buddy". Who's gonna be first to photoshop a Gilligan outfit on Spock?


It also makes us "Trekkies" out to be nut cases who spend all our time giving the Vulcan salute and building captain's chairs.
