[...] beautiful, fashion forward, a model in a mom’s wardrobe? Or would she be considered “not a great beauty” as super model Iman referred to her in the early days of the Obama …? If Michelle Obama were not the First Lady but just your run of the mill successful Black woman [...]

NONSENSE!
Michelle O is very clever OK…
But she looks like a HORSE just like that Gisele Bundchen girl!!!
It’s not a question of colour but of HEIGHT…

I hate this. Why do we have to even comment on what Iman said. I’m sure one day she will regret having made this remark about Our First Lady Michelle Obama. Geez! When will people realize that looks don’t even matter. In the end we all die, rot and smell.

I don’t find anything wrong with what Iman said. Michele is not a physically beautiful woman. She does, however, seem to be a beautiful human being on the inside and to top it off, is super intelligent. Not a lot of physically beautiful people can say that about themselves, or have that said about them.

folks on here are funny. You get on Iman for trashing a successful black woman and you turn around and trash Iman (who is also a successful black woman).

Iman is entitled to her opinion. We don’t even know the whole context of the interview (they could have asked her specifically what she thought about Michelle’s looks). And when you look past the “no great beauty” part you can see that Iman gave Michelle a very big compliment.

@ kre…
She’s busted, She looks like a parana.

Learn to spell, THEN be mean.

@ the truth…
Just because she is black and the president’s wife doesn’t mean we all have to consider her beautiful.

Some may say that is EXACTLY why she IS beautiful.

I understand what Iman was saying and I think she was being sincere about it. Just poor choice of words. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all have our different ideas about beauty and just because the first lady is black doesn’t mean that all black people think she’s beautiful. I think Michelle Obama is gorgeous but my husband doesn’t think she is. That’s his opinion though.

Interesting on how Iman,who is from Africa and who I’m sure was told that show was beautiful by a white man feels the need to make a comment about an black woman who didn’t use her beauty to get ahead but her brains.

Michelle does look great at the Poetry slam. I hope Iman didnt mean it that way- Not everyone is a freakin mannequin but still beautiful in their own way…
