At last! A successor to Jackie! I remember Mamie Eisenhower, Lady Bird Johnson and a whole googel of not-very-photogenic First Ladies. It is fitting and proper that Our Country Tis Of Thee -- have a great looking First Lady -- of thee I sing.
ReplyDeleteWell then, you'll love Ann Romney, she is very pretty, and blond!
DeleteSpeaking as a former magazine Art Director, I know first-hand that those photo shoots take forever! Is this what we want from the First Lady on the taxpayer's dime? With all due respect to you, Anonymous, I would hope that the other occupant of the White House has more important things to do than apply make-up and pose for glamor shots, day in and day out. (The covers shown here are the tip of the iceberg, but I had to get on with my life.) How shallow can one person be!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is the shallow people that buy all those magazines....
ReplyDeleteI know, right. Why would all of these magazines want someone who helped make history on them? After all there were so very many black first ladies!
ReplyDeleteOf course magazine editors and publishers see a cover featuring the First Lady as a big seller on the newsstands. I just wonder why Ms. Obama is willing to devote so much of her time to making money for them, and coming off as such a "glamor girl" to boot. What a bad role model for young girls!
ReplyDeletePolitics, my dear, politics. It's an election year and she's a political asset.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing her on the cover of magazines. After all she's making history and doing it very well. She's smart, sets a good example for us ladies and for young girls, and she's loved the world over!!
ReplyDeleteIf by making history you mean being the first black woman married to a black president, she has definitely done that very well.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's more history to be made to benefit us all: The first woman president, the first jewish president, the first mormon president, the first asian president, the first hispanic president!
ReplyDeleteAny chance ever of the first honest president?
ReplyDelete....honest politician? Don't they all have to make back-room deals to get a little of what they promised in their campaigns? Is this scenario ever going to change? Has it ever been any different?
DeleteAll good questions, and the answers are yes, no and maybe.
