Tyra Banks to play Michelle Obama on paper

This just in: The New York Post reports that fading supermodel Tyra Banks is going to play dress-up and undergo an actual makeover to dress up to look just like the real rising political wife Michelle Obama.

It's supposed to be for the cover of an upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar, given the overwhelming satirical success of the recent Michelle-Barack cover on the New Yorker magazine.

And then the side-splitting Vanity Fair satire of the New Yorker satire.

Talk about bazaar.

With the real Michelle out there for millions to see most every day really campaigning all over for her real husband, Barack, the magazine apparently thinks that a fake one will help sell copies. Maybe it makes sense in New York.

(UPDATE: Harper's Bazaar clarifies that while Banks will be on the upcoming cover, she won't be dressing like Michelle Obama there but will be on inside pages as a "homage" to both Obama and Jacqueline Kennedy.)

But why do we think this possible stunt has more to do with Tyra than the possible next first lady, who's already graced several other covers for real?

Your spelling is pretty bazaar

[Britany,Paris and Barney ?]

President Britany/Paris and first lady Barney.Yep ! That's
what the pollsters and the MSM say. Hopefully the voters
are not under the same spell. What happened to Wright,
Ayers, Rezko,Hanoi Jane ,gov. Judas and the rest of his
true mentors?

so who's to play tyra banks while she plays michelle while michelle plays...?
the media people are doing everything they can to keep the people in a constant state of distracted confusion bombarding them with mindboggling nonsense, the more successful to pull the wool over their eyes. it is sad to see the media's barefaced compliancy in this attempted putsch to spin into office either of two handpicked 'puppet' candidates not only inept but illegitimate, battering the foundations of the american republic, and ethical values.
