Can I just offer this one piece of advice for Michelle Obama? The single, best, most effective thing she can do right now to help her husband's campaign and increase her popularity ratings is to pluck her eyebrows differently.
Right now, her eyebrows angle down in that angry way that cartoonists use to denote anger - even emoticons use downward eyebrows to depict the "bad" or "angry" little round face. It's a simple, visceral facial signal that every human recognizes. Even infants! Michelle, pluck them straight across or with a happy little arch. Let's win in November! All it takes is an intelligently wielded pair of tweezers to bring peace and prosperity back to our nation.
I'm not kidding. This is the kind of thing people in the public eye need to think about.
The same advice can be (and I have) given to Katie Couric and Nicole Kidman, both of whom are suffering from the "Vulcan effect" of collapsing middle brows from over-doses of Botox (which relax the muscles between the eyes and result in an overcompensation by muscles at the ends of the brow). How do I know this? Don't ask.
I doubt Botox is Michelle's problem (although who knows) but the three of them could bring themselves back into public graces by that small adjustment.
What we need is a president who understands that these issues are just as important to the average American (more so in the coastal states) as the wars raging in Iraq and Afghanistan. One can never underestimate the importance of being thin, young and unwrinkled, over the smaller issues of Weapons of Mass Destruction and a lack of Universal Health care.
