Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is going to be around for a very, very, very long time:

America’s new First Lady is to be immortalised – as a wax work. Wax museum Madame Tussauds is currently working on a wax figure of Michelle Obama. The new figure will be unveiled in March at the Madame Tussauds in America’s political capital Wsshington DC.  But the company has already released images of the clay head currently being sculpted. Michelle Obama will be the third First Lady to be immortalized in wax by Madame Tussauds, joining Jacqueline Kennedy and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

They got Michelle damn near spot on, didn’t they?  That’s kinda scary, we can’t even lie.

A couple more for you below.

    I’m just about tired of the baller-chasing damsels who’s parents never told them “God bless the child…”

    If they wasn’t so damn fine, I’d stop taking them out to dinner every night.

  • Minah Chord

    Do they call you DLCooper because you like to swallow nutt and because you like it bareback with other men? Just asking…

  • reese615

    Damn it, it’s DLCooper? Man, I thought that was an I. Is that what the shadow and shit is about? SMH. “Man, get outta there. And stop DL’ing or however the gays say it!” LMAO

    Tell ‘em why you mad, sonne! I know you can’t really be mad at me for putting a voice to what every black intellectual was thinking when the black first family came into power…

    Unless you have something against the “that’s got his own” part? But I’m not going there.

    you’re just mad because your LIFE is in shambles and you could never get the attention of a man like Obama, hell even the bums under the train tracks wouldn’t bang some of you desperate caged skuzz buckets. I understand that she doesn’t live up to others ideal of what PRETTY is, but some of you wouldn’t know BEAUTY if she slapped her ass all across your shallow faces. I bet none of the so-called attractive women you know has a wax statue. I’m proud of her and in my eyes she’s beautiful, educated, and natural.

  • WordtotheWise

    Michelle Obama may not be attractive to you, but I’m willing to wager that on her worst day, she looks better than you on your best. THAT’S the bottom line. SMH at small minded people who don’t have anything to constructive to contribute to a conversation except how someone looks, and strangely enough, don’t post a picture of themselves so we can see how “beautiful” you are. The bottom line is that our First Lady is an extremely accomplished woman married to our president, whom by the way, thinks she’s beautiful, and that’s all that matters.

  • Van2222222

    @ Beholder

    Damn when did it become a crime to have an opinion lol…actually my life is not in shambles, im married, have a beautiful daughter and enjoy cooking reading a book in my spare time

  • Dark Cable

    Can she just relax the arch of her eyebrows a little bit. It makes her look a little “sinister” which is not a good look for her. Either way, I’m happy to have her as our First Lady.

  • Moreaces

    Dont like it!!

  • tweety

    nobody is sayin that shes ugly, im just sayin that the wax figure is doin her no justice

  • zappy

    She looks so old in this picture. Or is it me??

  • pm

    There are very few 45 year old ladies I find attractive, she doing good for her age.

  • Necy

    damn he’s good!!! I wonder if he makes wax figures for everyday people like myself..LOL

  • http://yahoo SERIOUSLY

    I agree with Tonya she is only speaking the truth. Michelle is very intelligent and accomplished but she is not very attractive.However, I dont think looks are important to Barack

  • Tonya

    Just because she is the first lady and a democrat does not make you beautiful. She is intelligent and has a wonderful family, but Michelle is not cute. I am not saying she is ugly but she is not cute. If they were Republicans you would say the same damn thing. Stupid ass people a fact is a fact. Besides my life is great and I am blessed. I work a block from the White House in the fed government and i have a great husband that takes care of me and my family.

  • jazziphile

    Hey knuckleheads, it doesn’t look like the wax figure is finished as once it is colored, it will look more like the First Lady.

  • Jay

    Really I dont think you have to be small minded, ignorant or whatever else ya are saying..
    Michelle Obama, is not pretty…Married to the president, yes, beautiful no…Toned body…but her face..you know its not the cutest thing in the world….
    So it is what it is…she is ugly..

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Wow!

  • Marshalls wife

    WOW..cant we all just be happy that a wax figure is being made of our FLOTUS and appreciate the fact that she’ll be the third first lady to have this honor. We should all be so lucky to have someone want to immortalize us.

  • WordtotheWise

    Tonya, what does being a Democrat have to do with it? I guess what I’m thinking is how do Michelle’s looks add or take away from anything? I’m not trying to be confrontational, and I know everyone has their opinion. I’m sure Michelle isn’t checking the blogs to get advice from us. It’s just that I’ve noticed that when Michelle came on the scene, her looks were always in question as though it meant something. How many of us discussed the looks of other First Ladies? My point is, so what if people don’t think she’s attractive. Some people think she is, and the ONLY one that matters is what our President thinks and he begs to differ from you and others of your mindset. It’s nice that you have a wonderful husband and family. We’re happy for you.

  • pm

    condi was ugly as hell too

  • OL’ PLAYER LOOKIN @$$ BOY

    OBAMA ALREADY WAXED THAT…

  • Tonya

    If you are not trying to be confrontattional then don’t address your comment directly to me. With the Obamas being democrat has alot to do with people sucking up to them. Like I said, if she was a republican we would have heard more people addressing her looks as her being unattractive. Condi is very intelligent and accomplish alot in life and people were always down on her looks, the clothing she wear, etc. Also, the life situation was address to someone who mentioned that my life must be in shambles or whatever. But at the end of the day, you feel your way and I will feel mines. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and as long as Barack loves her then my opinion doesn’t matter to her. One more thing it is hypocritcal to mention that we talk about her looks when you guys talk about other women being ulgy all the time, they probably not the first lady but people can be cruel on this blog when discussung other black women.

  • Book Worm

    not cute………………

  • WordtotheWise

    Tonya, just because I addressed you doesn’t make me confrontational. It’s a blog and people go back and forth all the time. People put comments out there and they are discussed. I never talk about people’s looks (at least I remember if I have) because I think it’s mean and irrelevant since they had nothing at all to do with their features. I leave that to other Bossipers, so that counts me out. I don’t know what blogs or things you read, but 6 x’s out of 10, everything I’ve read about Michelle was not her accomplishments, her mothering, or being a great support to her husband, but how she looks. You said that people can be cruel when discussing black women. My point exactly! It’s bad enough when “others” down black women, but when black women do it, it’s shameful. Again, people have their opinion, and to them, how she or anyone else looks is important – to me it’s not, that’s why I brought up the subject.

  • Think About It

    Ya’ll are funny. Let’s agree to disagree on this. I’m not mad at you Tonya. I asked my grandma this question the other day, and she hesitated and said that she’s “well put together”. My grandma’s quick to acknowledge when someone is pretty, so she clearly doesn’t think Michelle is the prettiest.

    She’s also not shy about calling somebody ugly. Didn’t say that either. I don’t think Michelle is anywhere near ugly. She’s not unattractive to me. Maybe she’s attractive but not pretty. Damn.

    For my part, I would describe her as a handsome woman. I don’t mean handsome to imply mannish, but rather to say that she is well put together, has a certain attractiveness about her, but doesn’t have dainty features. I think that relaxing the arch of her brows, as someone mentioned above, would go a very long way for her. She would look a lot less severe. I like her face though. She reminds me of my ex-boyfriend’s mom. Not pretty but I liked her face (pause). Gwen Ifill is another handsome woman.

    My seven cents.

  • bb

    Its amazing how some people on this site continue to miss the POINT!!.
    Where did cute get Halle berry,Whitney Houston,Mariah Carey,Faith Adams,Princess Diana and many more.Being cute is not always cut out to be that great especially in the USA where most of the cute girls appear to end up with terrible ,classless men and those that are educated can’t even find men to marry.This woman with her so called “uncuteness” is married to one of the most powerful men in the world who is not only attractive but very intelligent. BEAT THAT!!
    Please wake up and change your PRIORITIES!! its not always about looks they FADE!!

  • WordtotheWise

    Cyber handclap to bb!!! THANK YOU for seeing the bigger picture. That’s my point. Beautiful women are a dime a dozen. How many beautiful women end up with wonderful husbands? Many end up with men who could care less about them except for using them as arm candy, and when she falls below his expectations, he’s off and running to another dime piece. Halle is a prime example.

  • zappy

    I disagree with the harsh comments. She isn’t ugly, but not the cutest. It’s her mouth, it is positioned at a funny position to the rest of her face. However, she carries herself well and is extremely intelligent.

    Looks are funny though. I think I look average, yet people are alwyas saying, your features are striking. Whatever that means (probably that I am not cute). LOL

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ DICooper

    bb,

    I would argue that being the POTUS is THE most powerful position in the world.

    That’s right ya’ll: the big picture is that the day of the geetchie is done. A BLACK man is the the most powerful man in the free world.

    But your argument makes it seems as if your opinion is more valuable than Beholders which is a problem. Some people will find her attractive and some people won’t.

    I personally don’t care how she looks. I’ve grown past all of that physical mess. She’s intelligent and seems to have a good heart, that’s enough for me.

    I agree with you here. I personally think that people see in Michelle a version of attractiveness that they can attain. For far to long, the ideal beauty in the black community has been attainable and Michelle comes along and changes that. Whether or not they actually think she is beautiful is inconsequential as they see themselves in Michelle (physical wise) and saying that she is beautiful in turn says something about their beauty.

  • dubya

    I meant, for far too long, the ideal beauty in the black community has been unattainable.

    You make some very valid points. People want Michelle to be beautiful because it allows them to be beautiful too.

  • always knew

    I think Michelle is beaufiul, in her own right,as a black woman. Her features are simiar to ourds, because she is one of us….I find it to be ver disrespectful, that some would speak of her in this manner…There havebeen ugly white first ladies for the longest, but no one goes out of their way too trash them…(Just food for thought)

    And yeah, just because she is not light bright and dainty features, doesn’t mean she isn’t pretty…Maybe a few of you, are just used to assimilated or mulattoes…the judgemnt calls when we are all one, is ridiculous…An to whatever idiot, they are saying Michelle is beauiful so they can say they are beautiful. Damn right!, Why do we always have to change ourselves to appear likable to color-struck folks, or sell-outs, to make themselves feel better about what they have done…Additionally, I would love to see a pic of you or your grand-ma, and let u know if you’re ‘handsome’ or not…Black people and their penchants for undercover racisim..You shoud be ashamed of yourself…Ri-damn-diculous. In 2009, and you still have a problem with the way,a black sister looks? Yes? Then you’re the one with the problem…..Try psychotherapy, you and your grandmother, BOTH need it….

    Haters always come out, EVERY SEASON!!!

    The wax figure looks older than she does in real life. I find it strange that some people actually think she’s ugly. I think she’s far from ugly. She’s pretty average looking to me, but definitely not ugly, or as someone said “very ugly”

  • BlahBlah

    Michelle is beautiful because it shines from the inside out. She has that genuine beauty as a person. She looks like her brother with a wig on. I don’t find her brother handsome at all, but I like Michelle. Some pics of her look better than others. She looks better with longer hair instead of that helmet head that First Ladies seem to love so much. Michelle and Barack look beautiful together.

    So, if you agree with my “idiotic” statement, what does that make you?

    I see nothing wrong with identifying with Michelle’s attractiveness, but we need to be honest with our intent. Because there is a major difference between finding her attractive and finding her attractive because you want to be seen as attractive too. It also puts into prospective those who get angry when someone does not believe Michelle is beautiful. They are taking it personal.

    As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m well beyond those days when beauty is the end all say all. Michelle has substance, for me, that is all that matters. More importantly, Obama loves her.

  • jenna love

    All of the first ladies have been ugly. I fund MIchelle to be very cute and a nice looking family, and I”m proud of her and President for loving eacg other. The fact that our President loves his wife and family means the world to the black community.

  • WordtotheWise

    Dubya, even though you were addressing “always knew,” I’m going to interject something here. I don’t believe it’s about “taking it personal” for those that don’t believe Michelle Obama is beautiful. The point I want to state is, “So what?” Women are always held to a higher looks standard than men as though we HAVE to be attractive/pretty/beautiful. Unfortunately women perpetuate this as much as men do. It’s just that our culture is such that beauty is seen as the end all. It appears that people can’t find fault with Michelle about anything else, so they bring up the, “she’s not attractive” stuff. As stated, Obama loves and cherishes her and more importantly, Michelle seems comfortable in her own skins, so like you said, “that’s all that matters.”

  • dubya

    Hi WordtotheWise!

    You make great sense and I totally agree with what you are saying–especially your comment on higher standards placed on women.

    In regards to Michelle, I’m speaking to a specific lot. I’m speaking to the ones who comment on her beauty as if they wish they were commenting on their own. I’m talking about those who live vicariously through how others perceive Michelle. This is a form of narcissism which stems from low self esteem and it’s sad.

    It’s similar to the whole Kelly/Beyonce argument. True, some will find Kelly much more beautiful than Beyonce because they truly believe that she is. Others will find Kelly more attractive because by doing so, they can validate parts of themselves they deem unworthy (dark skin, short hair…).

    Anyway, I think Michelle Obama’s attractiveness is inconsequential. I’m just intrigued by the psychology of some of the bossipers.

  • WordtotheWise

    Hi dubya! Okay, I’m picking up what you are putting down. Yes, so many black women do deem their skin color/hair texture as unworthy because no one told them they WERE worthy. Society puts standards on us that we cannot live up to. Good post.

    Contrary to what has been said, I find Mrs. Obama to be very regal in appearance. Her cheekbones are divine. She has grace, intellect, and strength. That equates to beauty.
    Barack Obama made a great choice in his wife.
    God bless, the Obama’s and the ignorant people on this board too concerned with superficial things that aren’t tangible.

  • Betteroffretro

    I think that the media constantly telling us she’s attractive makes me think they don’t think she is. I don’t think she is at all. I do look better than her on my worse and better day than she does. Does it matter that she is not good looking – no. As far as Condy Rice – no one on the right ever claimed she was attractive. All they said was that she was smart – she is, she has poise – she does, she is a musical prodogy – true, but they never said beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I just don’t see it. Sorry!

  • Patricia

    I just wish people would stop worrying about what is on the outside and focus on the persons beauty on the inside…someday we all will be old and not so pretty..when all is said and done, it really doesn’t matter in the end, when we face judgement day. The lord doesn’t make mistakes, he loves all of us the way he made us..pretty and not so pretty…everyone has good with it be good looking or smart…Michelle has them both…she is a average or better looking woman then most…I’d say around a 7…on a scale of 1-10….Her husband loves her, that’s all that counts… Looks aren’t the number one thing in the world…I use to think it was but know different as I get older…..Live and let live…Patty
