This month, Michelle Obama will grace the cover of American Vogue for the second time.
Shying away from Annie Leibovitz’ signature surprising poses, the First Lady sporting her much-talked-about bangs, is shot wearing a royal blue Reed Krakoff dress (as we expected) whilst leaning against a walnut-wood desk.
Interviewed for the April 2013 issue, which hits newsstands toward the end of this month, Michelle Obama says how she and the president were pretty straight-up about their family being top priority, “Our job, is first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they’re growing every day. But I think we were both pretty straightforward when we said, `Our No. 1 priority is making sure that our family is whole,'”
“The stresses and the pressures of this job are so real that when you get a minute, you want to give that extra energy to your 14- and 11-year-old,” the first lady told Vogue.
She further went on to say that “90 percent” of what she and Barack Obama discuss is akin to that of other more normal families, their children. What they are doing, who has practice, which of the girls’ friends is having a birthday party, when and did they get them a gift.
