Fist Bumps for the First Lady

If you haven't picked up this week's New York magazine, run! The cover story on Michelle Obama features briefs by writers including Edwidge Danticat, Margo Jefferson, and Terry McMillan on topics such as Mrs. O's transformation from "militant" to "princess"; her statuesque build, in "Her Body, Ourselves," and an examination of how this first couple engenders a new sexual politics. An online slideshow of artists' renderings (above, illustration by Kim DeMarco) depicting the mom-in-chief is a must-see.
