Michelle Obama gets a facelift from Good Housekeeping

First problem: there's still a magazine called Good Housekeeping.

Magazines and newspapers are dying left and right, the whole publishing industry is imploding, yet Good Housekeeping lives on? It survives not only to give women crucial tips on vacuuming, ironing, or what Febreeze actually is, but to produce a commemorative "125th Anniversary Collector's Issue" graced with the creepiest cover photo of Michelle Obama I've ever seen.

This from Jezebel's Jessica Coen:

The entire bottom half of Michelle's face seems to have been replaced, her forehead has been nicely tightened, and the entire right (our left) side of her face seems to have scored some extreme chiseling. A solid helmet head and weird lighting finish off her look.

Michelle Obama is a stunning woman in every way-- why did Good Housekeeping transform her into a waxy, Stepford wife, lips and teeth bossed and glossed, hands clasped primly just under the appropriately wifey headline: "Keeping her marriage close, raising her girls and overcoming her biggest fear."

That sure doesn’t look like her upper body either. They must have just taken a head shot, fixed it up, and put it on someone elses body.

I like different things, but the what in the world is that outfit?

[Neverforget01]

I have no answer. Sometimes I think she dresses so bizarrely just to see if anyone will say anything.

The only thing scarier than Michelle in that pic is the raving femi-nazi that wrote the piece...lol

Say, mojitojoe, would you please post the Michelle photo you posted a couple of days ago - the one of her wearing the green dress, perhaps during the dem convention, the one showing ... uh ... um ... blush ... you know.

Two pigs wrestling under a blanket!

[freekitty]

What are they trying to do? Make her look like Granny?

[fatima]

OMGosh,What the hell is that.

ROTFLOLOLOL.
Your guess is as good as mine.

[LucyT]

Is she wearing depends?

Remember the female astronaut who wore depends all the way from Texas to Florida so she wouldn’t have to stop to go to the toilet? Was Michelle worried that she couldn’t find a toilet in a timely manner?

[onyx]

Michelle like you’ve never seen her, perhaps?

[Lakeshark]

"Hey sweetie, do I look like an artichoke in this?"

"What do you mean, not green enough?"

:-)

ROTFLOLOLOLOLOL.
I thought about that and then I thought about a regular old old “pad and belt” and then a stick’em pad that didn’t stick and every option just made me gag.
