What do President's Day and the Oscars share aside from a week? The movie Lincoln, of course, with leading lady Sally Field is the role of FLOTUS, Mary Todd Lincoln. No modern-day fashionista has got anything on Mary Lincoln, who was quite a clothes horse herself, and perhaps the first shopaholic in the White House. As Autumn Stephens says in Feisty First Ladies, 'Today, maniacal Mary Lincoln would be the self-dramatizing star of some Beltway twelve-step program, or popping Prozac like miniature petit fours, or holding an Oprah audience in thrall with tales of how an ungrateful nation did her wrong.'
