The Michelle Obama is all smiles on the February 2012 issue of MORE magazine.

She also shared how she’s getting used to her nickname, FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States):

ON MENTORING TEEN GIRLS:
“It’s very personal. I mean, growing up the way that I did — kid from the South Side (of Chicago), going to public schools — the more my career developed, I realized how much I didn’t see, how little exposure I had to opportunities.”

ON HAVING THE NICKNAME ‘FLOTUS’:
“They call me FLOTUS, for first lady of the United States…And there are many times when FLOTUS and POTUS feel like characters.” There have even been times, she says, when she’s craned her own neck to see which celebrity might be causing all the excitement. “And it’s me. Oh, man, it’s FLOTUS. FLOTUS is here. No one told me FLOTUS was coming.” [Source]
