THE GIRLY SHOW

It’s only been 15 minutes and here I am writing another post.

 I’ve decided that all good blogs need franchises. So I’m starting one now. It’s called “you go girl” because that’s the only thing my Pepsi-fueled mind can  think of right now.   Here’s the deal. I pick a girl (or a lady) who is doing something solid and then tell you why.  So introducing the first “you go girl” (and future first lady?)…

Michelle Obama!

Congrats, lady.  Not only does she have the coolest name ever (my middle name) but she rocks.  She’s so cool that the BBC (the freakin B-B-C!) did an article about Michelle’s makeover.

Which you can check here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7470764.stm

“Still, the Obama campaign is actively trying to refresh Mrs Obama’s image. Appearing on ABC’s The View last week, Mrs Obama used the opportunity to address her critics, but also to present a picture that those close to her say is more true to herself than the caricature her critics are painting. During the course of the show she was able to talk about her background, growing up in humble circumstances on the South Side of Chicago, attending Princeton for college, and Harvard law school, becoming a wife and a mother.

She addressed her “proud” gaffe directly, saying “I think when I talked about it during my speech, what I was talking about was having a part in the political process. People are just engaged in this election in a way that I haven’t seen in a long time and I think everybody has agreed with that, that people are focused, they’re coming out.”

She also appeared this week on the cover of US Weekly Magazine above the title Why Barack Loves Her. The article pointed out that she shops at the US store Target, loved the television show Sex and the City, and included a quote from Mr Obama, who told the magazine, “Nothing is more important to Michelle than being a good mother.”

It is no surprise that the Obama campaign chose The View and US Weekly for their re-introduction of Mrs Obama; those outlets are extremely popular among women, who are up for grabs in this election”

So there you have it. There seems to be much more coverage of Michelle than Cindy.  I don’t know why. It’s interesting though because which ever side you’re on, whoever you plan on voting for, both of these women seem very Jackie O.  I think either one has the chance to bring some glamour into the White House. Sorry Laura. I still love you.
