SUPERMODEL Tyra Banks has appeared on a magazine cover in the role of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle.
The latest edition Harpers Bazaar features an interview with Banks and picture spread depicting her as First Lady and an Senator Obama lookalike as president.
Banks said before Senator Obama’s campaign for the White House she did not believe she would see a black president in her lifetime.
“When Barack won the nomination, I just started bawling. I started calling all these people, and everybody was talking to me like I was crazy,” she told Harpers Bazaar.
“They’re like, ‘Well, he hasn’t won yet,’ but I’m like, ‘Yes, he has, because he’s gotten this far.’ I think he gives everybody so much hope.”
Banks’s turn as a possible future First Lady follows Paris Hilton throwing her hat into the US presidential race, declaring her desire to campaign against “that wrinkly white-haired guy”
The blonde socialite responded to Republican candidate John McCain’s controversial use of her image in a campaign television spot last week with a satirical ad of her own posted on the website Funnyordie.com.
In the ad, the 27-year-old appears reclining on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, dressed only in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume.
“Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too,” she declares. “Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.
“But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”
