TYRA IN HARPER’S BAZAAR AS MICHELLE OBAMA

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Supermodel and talk-show hostess Tyra Banks portrays Michelle Obama in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

In the issue, available Aug. 19, Banks recalls her reaction to Sen. Barack Obama winning the Democratic presidential nomination.

“When Barack won the nomination, I just started bawling. So what gives me tears is if Barack Obama wins, kids are going to say that a black man can be president too. I think it will give so many people — black, Latin, Asian, even white people that feel forgotten — hope. I did not think I would see it in my lifetime, and I’m only 34.

With Barack Obama, his becoming president is them becoming president because Michelle was there from the beginning,” Banks continues. “Without Michelle, he wouldn’t be there.”

TYRA AS THE FIRST LADY.. TYRA AS THE FIRST LADY (2) TYRA AS THE FIRST LADY (3)

WTF??? What is the point of this shoot, why the need for a “spoof” type pictorial? She makes Mrs. Obama look like an air-headed, stepford wife kind of woman, the complete opposite of who she is, how can you have Tyra portraying someone as fabulous as Michelle Obama!! Y’all wrong for that Harper’s Bazaar and Tyra just as wrong for agreeing to the bullshit!

These are nice pics, but is it just me or does Michelle Obama look a heck of a lot better in these outfits than Tyra? I’m a big girl myself, so I’m not trying to hate, but Michelle (after having two kids) looks thinner and more fit, than Tyra whose supposed to be the model. In this one the Real women far exceeds the model.

She looks beautiful and sexy. I saw her profile on milllionaire&celeb personals site “”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.

@GreatestLoveOfAll you can have charisma and still be dumb. she’s still a dumb model

plus i think tyra lost her personality a long time ago. she used to be so real and down-to-earth when she first started out. and now she’s so extra like she tries too hard

also why do ppl care what skintone any of the people in the spread are? so what if the little girl is dark? so pointless

———-Lol, this chick has done nothing but spread her mouth and legs for white men
———-for the last 10 years, and now she is Michelle Obama. This stuff is straight

Actually, she just recreated scenes made famous by Jackie O, but just picturing Michelle O in the spot. Its a tribute to the Obamas. I like it and it presents the future first family in a positive light. The first pic is a recreation of the JFK and JFK Jr. picture in the Oval office. big up to HBazaar!

eta: some black are so clueless.

I think that Tyra had good intentions with the photoshoot. Honestly, she just wanted to give support to Barack in the best way that she knew how. She’s a model so she figured that she would use that to do a photoshoot to show the Black presidential hopeful in the White House. She is a bit self-absorbed, but I think her heart was in the right place.

Ya’ll act like people never potray themselves as anyone else famous before come on now Marylyn Monroe, Jackie O Kennedy, etc. Now Tyra Banks is on here potraying herself as what could potentially become the first black lady ya’ll want to hate on that. Some black people are never satisfied always trying to hate. Tyra do your thing girl.
