The party was held in the luxurious modern Westwood, Calif. mansion of Michael S. Smith and James Costos. Smith is a designer who decorated the White House when the Obamas moved in in 2009. He called Michelle a “hero” as he introduced her to the cheering fans.

Michelle, dressed in a form-fitting black dress and black sweater, told the crowd of more than 350 guests that her husband was even involved in the decorating of their new home.

“Believe it or not, the President has opinions about his drapes,” she said to the group.

After the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama and her two daughters, Malia and Sasha, went to Pizzeria Mozza in L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood. They ate in a private room in the back of the restaurant and then left around 10:30 pm after their late-night meal. In june of last year, the First Lady and her girls also grabbed a bite at the same restaurant.

The First Lady was also in town for some Hollywood glitz of her own. Earlier Monday, she taped a cameo on the hit Nickelodeon show iCarly, where she played herself and talked about the military with Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) whose Air Force colonel dad isn’t home for her birthday.
