40. She just doesn't look like the First Lady that I remember

Fri Mar 15, 2013, 12:38 PM

Mar 2013

It must be the airbrushing, the make up or the bangs, I'm not sure what. Her nose seems too long, her eyes seem too wide apart and her arms look too perfect. She looks a bit plastic in the cover shot. I remember her with kind eyes and a warm smile, a genuine person, a person I could meet and like.

Not that she looks mean or anything but it just doesn't look like her. The photo of her and the president is a little better and the one in the gown is terrific.
