Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

An Icon

At the risk of leading people to think I am obsessed with her...

I strongly suggest we make the new First Lady, Michelle Obama, the Official Icon of the Modern Woman.

I will never forget the expression on her face, as she held the Book her husband was being sworn in on. Intelligence, love, pride, astonishment.

With all due respect, what a departure from all the ones that preceded her (in every possible way).

Every time I see her I can't help but say 'wow'. For the way she looks, the healthy confidence she exudes, the way her personality shines through, what she accomplished, what she represents. What a wonderful role model this woman is.

I'm totally with you... and I gave up long ago on trying to hide my obsession!!! as a friend of mine says about her, I want to be her best friend and have sleepovers and brush each other's hair. :-)

Do you read the Mrs. O blog?

No... What is it? She has a blog? Could I like her even more?

And did you see her beatiful dress at the inagural ball? It made me love her even more.

I just love her down to earth, palpable strength. It's there, but not overwhelming.

I couldn't agree more, she's an excellent role model in a time when young women are in great need of one.
