In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

Michelle Obama (Tyra Banks) Playing House

I guess we can't wait to see the real outcome.
We have to play house.
Harper's Bazaar has a photo spreas of the Obama's in the White House.
Bizarre is right.
But the Huffington Post says it isn't weird that Harper's Bazaar ran the spread. They think it is weird that Tyra Banks is playing Michelle Obama.
Looking at the pics as a whole it becomes clear that the weirdness factor has nothing to do with Harper's Bazaar running a Obamas-as-First Couple photo spread so much as their decision to use Tyra Banks in the role of First Lady. If they had, say, decided to cast the part of Michelle Obama using an anonymous model, chances are we'd be discussing how the fashion photos perhaps signify that a black presidency (specifically an Obama one) has become culturally acceptable. However, by choosing Tyra -- a cultural force in her own right -- it feels like we're merely watching "Ms. Banks" play out some weird personal fantasy of her own making.
