America's Next Supermodel

Sure, it'll take a lot of work, reconstruction and airbrushing, but a groveling media will stop at nothing to portray this woman as a supermodel and fashion icon.

Seriously, this fawning has got to stop.

It's official: Michelle Obama is the first lady of American fashion, appearing on the cover of the March issue of Vogue.

Every first lady since Lou Hoover — save Bess Truman — has been featured in the high-fashion magazine, but Mrs. Obama is only the second to grace the cover. She appears wearing a magenta silk sheath dress by Jason Wu, who also designed her inaugural gown.

Vogue's editor at large Andre Leon Talley called his interviews with Mrs. Obama ahead of President Barack Obama's swearing-in ceremony "one of the best experiences of my life."

"She's so accessible, natural and normal. There's nothing affected about her," he said.

Yes, except for her hatred of America, she's perfectly normal.
