I've alluded to this before - I have a new girl crush.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, girl- and boy-crush are generally applied to people of the same gender whom one admires feverishly. Urban Dictionary describes it as feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl.
And I have to admit, I have it bad for Michelle Obama.
On Inauguration Day, I was watching mainly for her. Am I thrilled to bits that Barack Obama is now the President of the United States? Absolutely. But that wasn't enough to hold my attention. It was all about Michelle for me.
I love that she's tall and continues to wear heels.
I love that she's feisty.
I love that her family comes first.
I love that she's smart - and was once her husband's boss.
I love her wardrobe.
I love ... ah, I just love her.
Let's face it, I have a big ol' girl crush on Michelle. What can I say, I admire strong, ambitious women who have the ability to unite people. And if they can do so whilst looking smashing at the same time, more power to them! I think I've just found my new style icon, in more ways than one.
If the Obamas ever come to Australia, they can stay at my place, 'kay?

Maybe it's because she's black??? Most black people are hot in some way... eg Tyrone??
She may well suggest a shag MD. http://www.flickr.com/photos/highriser/2327183831/
I love that she's tall and continues to wear heels.
Just wait until her spine becomes shonky for wearing said heels.
What is it with you and women in the whitehouse (fictional or otherwise)?? One day you are pining after CJ, and as soon as Michelle comes along you just forget about CJ like she meant nothing to you...
I admire the way she struts her stuff looking totally happy in her skin. Nothing to do with colour BTW.
girl crush?
erm...yes...um...er...well
I think I'd better come back when I'm sober......
"I admire strong, ambitious women who have the ability to unite people."
Like Cleopatra and her slaves...
She's a woman with bigger, brassier balls than Hillary but who swings them in a nicer way than Hillary ;)
You have blog bling waiting for you on my blog.
Al, you still make me laugh after all these years.
That's some impressive hair, Andrew. A little Princess Leia inspired, you think?
Reuben, don't talk such nonsense. You'll scare me into not wearing heels any more.
CJ is still close to my heart, Deb. See, as CJ is fictional, I could actually BE her. Well, not really but I could become a white house press secretary. Could probably not become Michelle Obama.
Pat, I know exactly what you mean.
Preacher, girl crushes will remain the same, sober or not! Welcome anytime.
Agreed Brian, although hopefully this one won't attach snakes to her breasts in a suicide attempt.
Jayne, a point well made. I dare say she has just as much influence as Hillary did but is more discreet about it. And thank you!
Who doesn't love Michelle? Cherie Blair advised her once that she is primarily a wife, and her main role is support her husband at all times.
I have a sneaking suspicion that yes, she would support her husband. But if she didn't agree with him, then look out!
Yep, agree, she's a stunner. Eleanor Roosevelt was a high-achiever too.
Barack has already stated several times that Michelle is "The Rock" and the one the whole family looks up to. When I saw them walking hand-in-hand on Inauguration Day, I just bawled like a baby in joy. Finally, a First Couple who are passionate about each other. Their energy has already created change for the better. WHAT A RELIEF from the last eight horrendous years.
Phishy, you have to love a woman who has the balls to call it as she sees it - even if it means disagreeing with the President!
LL - Dear Eleanor has a lot to answer for. All of it good!
Patty, I agree totally. Just the self-belief that they can work together with the American people to create something better has already been a massive mood lifter. I think they'll get there, too.
Girl crush well deserved in this case. She's going to be a smashing first lady. My girl crushes tend to be less political. I've had one on Jennifer Connelly for years.
