VIP VP: Tyra Banks
Name: Tyra Banks
Record: Former supermodel / "America's Next Top Model" host / emmy-winning daytime talkshow host / "Singer" / repeatedly one of Time magazine's most influential people in the world / one of Metromix Detroit's most annoying booty-loving people you have to watch
Leanings: True, the woman who made "fierce" fierce and signature struttin' common practice in high school hallways might not seem very political, but just pick up the September editon of Harper Bazaar's magazine and the truth will set you free. A heavy contributor to Obama fatigue, the easy, breezy, beautiful Tyra hits the cover and is featured in a full editorial spread as Michelle Obama. But not exactly in that uncomfortable, creepy stalker sort of way (hello ScarJo).
Vice-ness: While kicking it with her make-believe Barack O-model stand-in, Tyra is seen in bed sporting a Harvard sweatshirt where the smiling couple reads a magazine and are totally thinking about important presidential stuff, like "10 easy steps to fake a photo shoot in bed." Tyra tells Harper's: "It's kind of embarrassing, but in my early 20s, I used to want to be a princess. But I didn't want to have to marry somebody in order to do it! Of course, I don't see the position of first lady as a princess, where it's something you have to marry into." Economy -- check. National security -- uh-huh. Energy crisis -- what-what? When Tyra is Vice Princess everything will be absolutely fabulous...Just watch her show and she'll tell you.
