Tyra Banks has White House dreams

Why did Tyra Banks dress as Michelle Obama for a recent Harper’s Bazaar photo spread?

There’s a simple answer (publicity) and then there’s another theory that a close friend of Banks' is bandying about.

“I think she actually could see herself in the White House,” says the friend. “No, not as president, but first lady? She’d love nothing more.”

In the Harper’s Bazaar interview, Banks says that, should the Obamas land in the White House, Michelle’s role is just as important as her husband’s.

“With Barack Obama, his becoming president is them becoming president because Michelle was there from the beginning," she told the magazine. “Without Michelle, he wouldn’t be there … Michelle Obama, you’re one hot mama.”

Banks has already put herself in Michelle Obama’s shoes — she’s considered her White House hairstyle and shared it with Harper's: “My question isn’t to flip or not to flip. Mine would be to weave or not to weave.”
