No cat suit and no whip

"Catwoman"? That's how many media outlets -- and even the president himself -- described Michelle Obama's Halloween costume. Alas, the first lady did not actually don the figure-hugging bodysuit or S&M mask associated with most embodiments of Batman's femme fatale (Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry), let alone a whip. In the first lady's prim leopard-print sweater and fuzzy ears, she was more cat lady than Catwoman. Let's call it a lady cat instead.
