Michelle Obama: a Victory for Tall Women Everywhere
Also published on BitchBuzz.com
Today was a momentous day in history for many reasons, but after watching the Obamas dazzle everyone at their inaugural ball, it made me think: Today marks a victory for America. For Democrats. For the world, even. But with Michelle Obama officially the First Lady, today is also a huge day for tall women everywhere! Finally, we have a tall, elegant, fashion-forward woman to look up to who’s not a supermodel, but rather, a role model.
What I love about Michelle Obama is the fact that she doesn’t shy away from fashion risk — from clothes or from heels, despite the fact that her husband is only a couple inches taller than her own 5-11 statuesque frame. She stands tall no matter what.
So, to my fellow tall female comrades: if you have been waiting for that extra boost of confidence to make you throw on your favorite pair of 4-inch heels without hesitation, this is it!
At tonight’s inaugural ball, our First Lady rocked not only a floor-length Jason Wu gown, but shoes that put her almost higher than eye-to-eye with 6-foot-almost-2-inch President Obama.
What does tell all the millions watching? (Amongst other things:) Don’t fret if you might be an extra inch, two or three taller than your date, your man, your husband. It’s all about how you carry yourself. And if you can carry yourself like Michelle Obama, well then, what are you worried about? Glide. Own it.

I love Michelle Obama! She is so intelligent, graceful, stern when she needs to be and she has a wonderful sense of humor.
