Could someone please explain to me why there has been a mini-furore about Iman saying that Michelle Obama is not a "great beauty," but will "just get better with age,".
Iman spoke with Parade magazine and spoke at length about how wonderful Michelle Obama is but the only thing that seems to have been picked up is that Iman - undoubtedly and indisputably beautiful - dared to pass comment on Michelle's looks.
And she tells the truth. Anyone who thinks Michelle Obama IS a great beauty better get themselves to the optometrist. She ain't. But that is the wonderful and exhilarating part of Michelle Obama - her brains, her style, her smile, the way she carries herself and obviously loves her husband and children and sincerely likes herself - WOW!
What Iman said was not rude, bitchy or inappropriate. Women are allowed to be honest commentators without being attacked. I doubt Michelle Obama is losing sleep over it. She will get better with age and she will always have true style.

totally agree, why can't women remark without being called bitches? I LOVE michelle but she's not a classic beauty .... but so much more! and what i love about her is that she has made absolutely the best of what she has - which gives a great message to everyone.
Yeah I love michelle too......for everything about her, maybe also because she isn't a great beauty but she is a fabulous 45 yr old woman.
