Tyra Banks has finally fulfilled her wish of making Barack Obama's run for the presidency all about her. In the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, TyTy poses as America's First Lady (God help us if that ever becomes a reality) and discusses how Barack's progress affected her.
When Barack won the nomination, I just started bawling. I started calling all these people, and everybody was talking to me like I was crazy. They’re like, ‘Well, he hasn’t won yet,’ but I’m like, ‘Yes, he has, because he’s gotten this far.'
And, because Tyra's the authority on all things presidential, she offered up her inane advice to Michelle Obama (to which Michelle is hopefully like, "No thanks").
I want [Michelle Obama] to not take herself too seriously. She’d need to know how to take a fierce picture, but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken, have grease on her fingers, and be okay with getting photographed like that, too.

oh she is so not helping. does she know that she is SO not helping??
Yeah this will go over well.
Has Tyra trademarked the word 'fierce' yet?
Tyra so wishes she really was Obamas wife. thankfully they photoshopped about 50 lbs off her since Michelle is much thinner than Tyra
STUPID
Halle Berry made all this possible.
And yet, not a single picture of Tyra licking grease off her fingers. Way to take yourself too seriously Tyra
*facepalm*
Why does the First-Lady-Tyra have Barbara Bush Sr. hair?
Does anyone else think the little girl under the table belongs on The Grudge?
It all comes back to the fierceness. Finally, some fierocity in the white house. Obama, express your fierceness in your eyes. Iran won't be able to deny you.
Um, I hope the first lady doesn't look like a wax figure out of Madame Tussad's…
Naomi was occupied apparently. Ugh.
Tyra, for a black woman, your photoshoot is eerily "single white female."

Yeah, instead the "seriously" photoshopped her legs until she looked like a polio victim. Check out photos 1 and 2. Blahghg!
I know she's an ass, but I still kinda like Tyra. However, this whole photo shoot is uber creepy and I wish it would go away.
No. 14 heather - I think Tyra actually has tiny calves in real life. I remember being surprised before.
What. Is. Wrong. With. Her. It's like she's mentally retarded.
Poor Tyra, she is so desperate for love and attention. It makes me sad. That said, I am stoked for ANTM! WOO WOO!
poor michelle, she does not deserve this, likening crazy ass tyra to her is just cruel.
Once again Tyra is making something like a presidential campaign all about her. That takes some balls, even Oprah knew when to step aside.
"…eat fried chicken, get grease on your fingers…"? Tyra is such a moron, it hurts.
Its been scientifically proven if you are ever attacked by a Tyra Banks, all you have to do is hold up a mirror and she will get distracted at how fierce she is.
This reminds me of crazy people in movies who take photos of their crush posing with other people, cut the other person's head out of the picture, and insert a picture of themselves.
This is just beyond creepy. It is so creepy it needs a new word to be made up in it's honour. Creepdonculous.
Well I loved it. These pictures are good…
