...two reasons:

  1. that speech she gave last time she was here, to a girls school (?) in south (north?) London


2. her cuddling the Queen, and the Queen cuddling her back

She comes across as very likeable, doesn't she

Not twee, not smug, not saccharine, just likeable

I like her Grin

I totally adore Michelle Obama - she is utterly iconic, beautiful in her own, unique way and seems completely normal too, if that's possible.

She comes across as a lovely, genuine person! And she is so, so beautiful - even came across a web photo of her caught without make-up and she still looks stunning.

I get a bit tearful when I see her meeting someone and they clearly adore her. Blush She is an amazing woman IMO - did anyone else read the 'Love Letter to Michelle' in The Grauniad this week?

I cry at a lot of less worthy things, I have to say. In the last month I have cried at, amongst others:

  1. a Dutch theme park (everyone's so happy)


2. Plan B album [baffled]

3. A tiny bit of Lady Gaga concert tother night (dp asked me if I was crying. I said I had something in my eye)

Oh I love her too - total girl non-sexual crush - she's just so damn nice seeming.

She's a Princeton-educated lady who became a top lawyer and has a real career. Unlike someone who waited around for 10 years for someone to propose to them :o.

At 47, she looks terrific, not full of fillers, Botox and face-lifted to hell.

She has an athletic physique that doesn't look starved or lipo'd out.

She's got a mega watt smile.

She's married to Barack Envy.

YANBU! I'm not quite crying but I do love her. Did anyone see the picture of her and Barack coming out of a plane on the way here? (I think it was in the Evening Standard today and prob other places too.) He was looking at her as though he just adored her, and they've been together ages. They're a great couple.

Also just noticed expat's comment: Unlike someone who waited around for 10 years for someone to propose to them.

She does rather kick the new duchess into the long grass!
