0bama will be wise to keep Michelle-ma-Belle occupied with her adorning worshipers. She has a short fuse.

They didn’t capture the tightly wrapped anger.

It's amazing what some folk can do with a lump of clay.

Tightly wrapped?
Every time I see her it remindes me of some male who's has had his "boys" wrapped too tightly by a female in order to cause them to fall off and he knows there is nothing he can do about it.

She doesn't look angry enough. Drop the inner edge of her eyebrows and put some creases in between them.

General Manager Janine DiGioacchino says having an image of Obama is an honor because "as our nation's first African-American first lady, a proud working mom and budding style icon, Mrs. Obama is a role model to women around the corner and around the globe."

Maybe the Michelle Fashion Police Alert ping list would enjoy this article. Since the First Frau hasn't been photographed out and about lately, we could just try to guess what outfit the full-sized figure will be wearing when it's unveiled in March. We could have a contest...with prizes!

P.S. - I kinda like the way the picture in the first post makes it look like someone's lighting a fuse implanted in the top of Michelle's head.
