Michelle Obama. Many can agree that she has transformed into a style icon. The world focuses on her outfit everytime she makes an appearance on national TV. But to me, she is more than just a fashionista who follows her husband around. She breaks the image of a typical American politican’s wife: tied back iron-hair, smiley but not conversational, and you get the picture...instead, she brings a fresh image to the new American politican's wife: a loving women who is full of love, charisma, and intelligence. When people rush and run to her after her speeches, she is not afraid to squat, hug back, and show her admiration back to the people. In between all that she is, she can still appear as the ordinary wife and mother! Michelle Obama is a supporting wife to her husband in front and behind the scene, and a loving mother who raises her daughters with elegance but still gives them the freedom to wear t-shirts like “Too many boys, so little time.”
The week was a perfect reflection of how her multifaceted personality is loved by many. We see how she warmly embraces the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. Her genuine charm and warmth is so magnetic and quickly makes the visit a great one to watch on TV. She is a role-model who knows how to communicate not only through words, but also through body language --- a universal language that is not bordered by country lines or defined by culture.
I especially love the fact that she has become another definition of beauty. Beauty that is no longer artifical and iconic, it is no longer defined by the fairness of your skin but rather, true inner beauty instead (though, she is still gorgeous looking in my opinion).
Cheers to a loving couple who will both take our hands and guide our country back to a place that is theoretically governed by the needs of the people, a place that is not dictated by the handful of people who are greedy and hungry for power!
…ok ok ok the last statement is probably waaay too naïve and idealistic but hey, hope and optimism is the key to restoring our messed up country right now! ;)
