(May 20, 2009) - According to famed supermodel Iman, the lithe, Somalia-born fashionista married to rocker David Bowie, first lady Michelle Obama is “not a great beauty.”

In a recent interview with Parade magazine, the 53-year-old model and cosmetic line owner said, “Mrs. Obama is not a great beauty. But she is so interesting looking and so bright. That will always take you farther. When you’re a great beauty, it’s always downhill for you. If you’re someone like Mrs. Obama, you just get better with age.”

Despite the model’s comments, the first lady was recently named No. 3 on Maxim magazine’s top 100 hot celebrity women’s list.

Iman also told Parade about the racism she encountered during her rise to fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Iman should remember a basic truism when talking of the first lady:

Beauty is only skin deep. Ugly goes to the bone.

How in the heck can MO make these lists but I haven't seen Iman on them in a long time.

MO wishes she looked 1/1000th as good as Iman.

Um, excuse me Iman, but who the hell asked you? And since when does a woman married to a guy that drank Mick Jagger’s man juice count for anything when it comes to the weight of opinion? Get lost you dizzy broad.

Then again, Michelle is married to a guy who drank Larry Sinclairs man juice.

I thought David Bowie was Mrs. Mick Jagger. I guess they stopped “experimenting” a while ago.

"But she is so interesting looking and so bright".

IMO, models I have known had IQs only slightly above room temperature. Iman would know "bright" if it bit her on her lovely a$$.

Nah. Angela Lindvall turned down a Rhodes Scholarship.

Just kidding - she dropped out of school at 14.
