I continue to find it fascinating how Michelle has been called &quot;the best&quot; and &quot;the worst&quot; thing for Black femininity. I obviously lean towards the former.<br /><br />@Stan LV<br />Thank you! I can&#39;t wait to reconnect in Las Vegas at the end of the summer.<br /><br />@Suzanne Grossman<br />Much thanks.

Michelle Obama is an inspiration to so many of us, especially women I&#39;ve spoken to, and you&#39;ve crystallized why.

A strong and intelligent woman, who continues to portray great deal of sex appeal. Like Michelle, your article will be an inspiration to not only young women but to young men. Showing them the true character of a woman.<br />Stan, Las VegasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23943706.post-11387698216540516332009-07-02T12:06:40.137-04:002009-07-02T12:06:40.137-04:00Alexia, this is a really great post.
