Tyra Banks pays homage by dressing as Michelle Obama

Tyra Banks as Michelle Obama

Tyra Banks covers and is featured in the September 2008 issue of the Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. In this issue Tyra poses as Michelle Obama and talks about how she has been inspired by the future first lady. Tyra also pays homage to Michelle Obama by dressing as the first lady. She and an African-American male model tried to invoke the Obama family spirit at work and play by dressing Jack and Jackie Kennedy but looking like Michelle and Barack Obama.

In the article, Tyra confesses that she found the process "surreal." "It’s kind of embarrassing," "but in my early 20s, I used to want to be a princess. But I didn’t want to have to marry somebody in order to do it! Of course, I don’t see the position of first lady as a princess, where it’s something you have to marry into. With Barack Obama, his becoming president is them becoming president because Michelle was there from the beginning. Without Michelle, he wouldn’t be there," she said.

"Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision," Banks adds, noting the infinitely tricky terrain of being a woman in politics. "Hillary Clinton was on my show in January, and I asked her, ‘Do you ever just get terrified to say anything? Because everything is so scrutinized and picked apart and dissected?’ And she said, ‘Honestly, Tyra, yes!’ And it’s the same for Michelle Obama, especially with her and Barack being the first, you know, in so, so many ways."

In the article, Tyra was asked what would be her Secret Service acronym if she was ever to reach the highest office in the land? She pauses, smiles broadly, and replies it will be, "KMFA: Kiss My Fat Ass."

Some are calling these pictures freaky, off-the-wall, outlandish, and bizarre. Others are saying its funny and brilliant. What do you think about these pictures?
