Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?

It’s simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform.

In before folks come in to say her clothes make her look fat.

I figure we’re in for at least six months of this crap..

[EDINVA]

Hilarious!

The era of the Boob Belt is over!

Oh, maybe boob belts are what makes an icon?

What the hell are they smoking at Forbes?

[Paladin2]

Perfect misinformation is valuable too.

[Farmer Dean]

It’s rationalization that borders on delusion.

bag lady

a homeless or poor woman that wears tacky, weird looking outfits and usually has dirty fuzzy hair and a hat. They pack around bags or a bag filled with junk and sing songs as they waddle down the streets

Oh for crying out loud.

Unrelated, is Forbes still operated by the Chinese now?

[Mears]

The strange thing about all of this fashion nonsense is that I don’t think Mrs. Trump really cares what they think about her,Michelle does.

Melania is VERY comfortable in her own skin,Michelle needs the attention.

When did forbes go post nuclear stupid?

[Savage Beast]

That’s good!

[rcrngroup]

You’re so right! The wookie looked like she dressed herself from a flea market, with a phat ass and perpetually angry scowl. It is so good to finally have a gorgeous 1st lady like Melania, on the outside as well as her inner beauty & graciousness.
