FLOTUS MICHELLE OBAMA GETS DOLLED UP

First Lady Michelle Obama gets the Danbury Mint treatment, and I have to say, I much prefer this over the scary wax figure on display over at Madame Tussauds' Wax Museum. Ever since I saw that Twilight Zone episode The New Exhibit , you know, the one that featured famous serial killers which come to life, wax dummies gives me a serious case of the heebz.

But I digress. The The Danbury Mint's Michelle Obama Inaugural Doll not only does the First Lady justice (it's actually quite beautiful), I'm so inspired, I want to get me one. You better get you one, too. Get into it. Check it out here.

This has been an unpaid commercial endorsement for The Danbury Mint's The Michelle Obama Inauguration Doll.

Fisrt Lady Michelle Obama Says Sasha and Malia Dolls "Inappropriate"

The First Lady has expressed her displeasure at the company that marketed dolls based on the names of First Daughters, Malia and Sasha. Ty Dolls has reiterated their claim that "There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," spokeswoman Tania Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."

It is mere coincidence, apparently, that the dolls, which bears the names of Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia surfaced soon after the inauguaration ceremonies. A spokesperson for Ms.Obama has released the following statement:

"We believe it is inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes,"

I previously posted an item on my skepticism about the dolls a couple of days ago.
