NEW YORK (AFP) – US First Lady Michelle Obama is not a "great beauty," but will "just get better with age," Iman, one of the first black supermodels, says in a magazine interview.
"Mrs Obama is not a great beauty," the Somali-born model and wife of rocker David Bowie tells Parade magazine's Sunday issue, reflecting on the first black US first lady, who is a lawyer by training and a former executive.
"But she is so interesting looking and so bright. That will always take you farther. When you?re a great beauty, it?s always downhill for you. If you?re someone like Mrs Obama, you just get better with age," she said.
Iman, 53, also told Parade that her rise to catwalk superstardom did not free her from racism.
"You suddenly represent a whole race, and that race goes, ?Well, that person does not represent our ideals of beauty.? For lack of a better term, it becomes what it was like during slavery," she said.
"One had the field n...(expletive) and the house n...(expletive). There was this notion that I was chosen by white fashion editors to be better than the rest, which I am not. I did not like being thought of as the house n...(expletive)."

Iman rubs me the wrong way and I heard that story about her, her ex-husband and their daughter a long time ago. She seem to think she's better than Black American women, yet her ancestors were slaves too.
One intern at Iman Cosmetics told me that she was always seem irate when someone asked her a small question. And I won't forget what she said about our First Lady either, at least Michelle don't have to walk around in wigs/weaves.
Both Iman's daughters are cute though, too bad her husband aint!
Most East Africans were not a part of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, they were in the trans-Saharan slave trade as well as through out Arabia and Persia, so yes, people in somalia, ethiopia, eritrea, sudan, etc were slaves too.
Ceeb. Respect a Somali legend smh.Funnily enough I was just lurking on lipstick alley and found an old thread where they are talking about Iman and going in on her.
Apparently she also has a very bad attitude according to LSA and said very rude things about Michelle Obama.
This is also what they're saying.
LSA is too much.

They really do. A while back they were going in on a Somali member who said she had 3a curls and they told her they never met a Somali with 3a hair and how all the Somalis they met had nappy hair. I was like biiiiiitccccheeeesss seriously?They have an intense hatred for somali/east african people lol it's too much
I can't @ them claiming somali ppl were slaves
I need to start a private chat with you on behalf of johndoeI thought you were talking about your actual edo when I say the title
Anyway queen Iman looks good
Lmao nah I was reading tea on some supermodel called Jasmine tokes and below it was an old thread on iman.@Reign so you went to LSA and searched what those big lipped, gorilla, mouth breathing, inbred, nappy haired es have to say about my beautiful, Gizelle like Auntie.
Everyone who meets iman says how wonderful, down to earth and humble she is.
They hate every woman who doesn't have nappy hair, big nose and dark skinned. Have you noticed once a black guy dates non black woman they all get in their feelings and start boycotting him. But the minute an ugly manly faced black woman dates a white guy they start worshipping the guy. Those es make me laugh!Lmao nah I was reading tea on some supermodel called Jasmine tokes and below it was an old thread on iman.
They seem to claim all supermodels who doesn't look like them has an attitude. They claim Jas Tookes also has an attitude. (Jas Tookes looks Somali)
