WASHINGTON - For the first time the U.S. First Lady has made Maxim magazine's annual top 100 list of "hottest women in the world," with Michelle Obama making the grade at number 93.



Billed as the "stimulus package America really needs," the British-based international magazine known for revealing pictorials of models and actresses showcases Obama in her tasteful official White House portrait.



In the rare accolade for a political spouse, the magazine notes that her husband President Barack Obama "may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly graying dome.



"But at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States."



Obama has been hailed as a style icon by fashionistas around the world since her husband was elected president.



Maxim's self-described "eyeball-searing, fantasy-fulfilling, brain-exploding" list has Obama topping "Top Chef" host and model Padma Lakshmi (95) and Oscar-winning "Wrestler" star Marisa Tomei (97).



The magazine, which has a monthly U.S. circulation of some 2.5 million and is distributed throughout the world, moved over last year's chart-topper "Transformers" star Megan Fox to give the number one spot to TV's "House" actress Olivia Wilde.

She certainly is very pretty, and that image is a sterling example of the portrait photographer’s art.

Thanks for the Lovely Laura Bush photo!

I hope I look one tenth as good when I’m Laura Bush’s age. (Her hubby isn’t so bad either. :0) )

According to history books Dolly Madison was HOT in her day—very busty and attractive to men.

Her teeny little husband James had a good eye for women :0). Any good photos of Dolly please?

Re: Harry and Mrs. Truman: there’s a great story in Harry Truman’s biography about how he had to leave town alone (as President) for several weeks; when he came back, he and the Missus broke the bed getting “reacquainted” LOL.

Mrs. Truman was very embarassed when she reported the damaged furniture to the White House staff. :0)

Why doesn’t she just put some fruit on her head and dance around like Carmen Miranda? Have some decorum for petes sake, you are representing our country!

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping! FReepmail GOP_Lady if you want on or off this ping list

[MHGinTN]

Will this do?

Dolly was likely drawn to Madison's strong intellect. In my 63 years, I've noticed some beautiful/flashy females have that proclivity. Ever seen Salmon Rushdie's wife?

[Cloverfarm]

Ya know ... in her high school picture, Michelle doesn’t look mean or grouchy. Serious, yes, but not scowling.

Wonder what happened. (Rhetorical question)

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

From JACKIE-O to BLACKIE-O!! To be fair, I couldn’t stand Jackie or the other Kennedy broads either. Most over-rated women in the history of beauty/fashion.

[madison10]

...and James was drawn to Dolly’s..*ahem* LOL

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

Rosalyn WAS HOTT!!! Always thought she was beautiful and deserved much better then Jimmah, who probably never satisfied her in her life.

Her thighs must me touching, otherwise why would anyone stand like that, unless... she's giving birth on the sidewalk.

The Obamas are vulgarity personified. The White House is defiled daily, so how long before it vomits out these toxic contaminants? Sadly, the WH tolerated the Clintons, so it may be hopelessly compromised.

[siamesecats]

That is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tax-chick]

Her thighs must me touching

I don't think so. Someone with experience in orthopedics described (on a thread) several types of skeletal or joint malformation that could account for the bizarre stance. On the other hand, it could be another coping mechanism, like her slouch, attempting to disguise her height.

[GOP_Lady]

Sing along with me, FR fasionistas:

I'm too sexy for my belt, too sexy for my belt, too sexy, yeah!

[Fu-fu2]

Michelle seems like an insecure person to me, she does alot of over compensating. Someone was paid to put her on this list to lift her self-esteem. Where’s the photoshop of her in football gear? LOL

[Ezekiel]

Well, intentional or not... the squat stance is indicative of squatters in the White House. :-(

This woman would not be nearly as offensive if she weren’t so busy flipping decorum the bird, and the media weren’t so busy flinging sacks of this fashion manure at normal citizens, expecting the sh*t to stick.

She won’t wear a classic suit and behave like a lady (like real First Ladies) because she would become a reflection of normal America. In doing so she would become a symbol of that which she hates. And those righteous Obamas take the high road of course, desiring to be true to themselves. Hence the thugwear.

[Redgirl]

Michelle has obviously never been to finishing school...
She’s been photographed in that pose more than once, just like she can’t stop wearing those ugly inauguration pumps.

I’m not feelin’ it...
