I hope you meant that line as a Joke, this of course defies decencies.

If I had a daughters I'll rather them to emulate the freshness, exuberance and energy of Michele than the make-up beauty of Iman...

If you're someone like Mrs Obama, you just get better with age," she said.

She hit the nail on the head with the above statement...
Downhill Indeed:

I dont get how this self-hating character has become a rolemodel to our sisters when we have dozens of female scientists, entrepreneurs and more accomplished sisters than this character.

this has turned into an Iman vs. Michelle. Thats not all the the point of the interview. One thing, the two woman are completely different, should not be compared and successful in their own right. Iman is beautiful, a huge understatement, she an Icon of the fashion world, the Supreme court of whats beautiful and to top it if she is a successful business woman and the first high profile black supermodel. Mrs. Obama, is mrs. Obama. A first lady and an academic record that inspires all minorities. Lastly, the lady was actually complementing mrs. Obama.

Lol@she complimented her, kinda like this right?:

 

Dear, dear Bobby don't cry, yes you are ugly but nobody can dissect a TX-2456 the way you can, cheer up! :D

 

btw why the hell is she talking about slavery as if we share the same history as African Americans?

 

Sabriya do tell me why you would consider this tramp a 'rolemodel' that needs defending.

Adam, refrain from name calling walaal and let others live their life as they wish. One of the things that islam emphsizes on is to respect others even if they are not on the right path.

 

Najmudiin who said Iman is gaalo? she might not be practicing islam but she is still a muslim woman.

lol ma iga maqashay anoo idhi ayan hersi was not a muslim?? I really don't go that far and try to decide what others are...that's really between them and allah. But, I would never come and defend ayan hersi, i wouldn't personnally insult her, for its not in my nature to insult others. But i wouldn't tell you to talk of her in a good manner cuz she doesn't deserve it..it's that simple.

 

plus when did we jump from Iman to ayan hersi? even what made you insult Iman, when we were talking about her remark of "the first lady is not a great beauty"? did that statements offend you in anyway? Imean hey she only said shes not a great beuty that still leaves room for being pretty, okey looking, decent looking lol I mean really Adam whats this all about? what you have against Iman? spill it?
