Glamour Salutes American Icons (and So Do We)

Ladies, let us tell you something -- you're pretty amazing. You manage challenging careers, families, friends, and Prada only knows what else. And you do it with style and beauty. And we're not the only ones who are noticing -- Glamour magazine has an amazing spread of today's actresses and models paying homage to some of the most important (and lovely) women in American History. And we salute Glamour for doing so!

Glamour Salutes American Icons (And So Do We!)

    Alicia Keys as First Lady Michelle Obama
    The singer/songwriter does a beautiful job of representing our lovely first lady.

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

    Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter
    The former Gilmore Girl shows her strength as one of the most important feminist icons in history. Although, we're not expecting to see Alexis in the factories any time soon.

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

    Chanel Iman as Althea Gibson
    The "House of Style" host reminds us that, long before Venus and Serena came along, another African American woman broke the color barrier in tennis.

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

    Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn
    The up-and-coming young actress portrays one of America's all-time favorite leading ladies with grace and charm. Watch out, Emma -- we might have to start expecting big things from you!

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

    Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart
    Hayden might play a Hero on TV, but Amelia was a true hero to women everywhere when she became the first female aviator to make a solo trans-Atlantic flight.

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

    Paula Patton as Billie Holiday
    The actress channels the late singer, complete with gardenia in hair. Billie certainly struggled for her success, but showed us all that, sometimes, pain can be the foundation of beauty.

    Brigitte Lacombe for Glamour

I always have loved this photo from the first time I had seen it. I was hired into the factory and as a women was challenged by doing a mans job. I was really blessed as I later felt God had His hand on me the whole time keeping me safe from harm of all kinds. We are fragile but tough, we women are caring yet vulnerable. We are gifted as all men are, yet special in our strengths and weaknesses. God bless us all here in America and around the world, for together we are like a rope that is hard to break.

The young and beautiful ALICIA KEYS is too beautiful to be compared to Michelle Obama who is NOT (Beautiful) at all.

Doesn't look like her at all. Not enough muscles and not ugly enough in personality. This one is too "sweet" looking. Next?

Robert your bantering is non factual and simple idiocy at best. Alicia keys is more than a "one hit wonder", she is a multi platinum musician who has fans from all walks of life. Instead of making negative comments do something positive with your time. Unless your life is so miniscule that you have nothing better to do than to contibute to the hate in this blog.

It never ceases to amaze me how the media keeps it coming every single day, oversaturating every newspaper, blog, headline, etc. with the overly saccharine worship of the Obama family. It is compounded when I know how downright nasty, mean, lying, sarcastic, slanted and evil the left is when they decide to try to destroy someone who doesn't agree with them, OR is a threat to their complacency, OR is really very good looking and smart!! One example: the treatment of Palin AND her family. The meanest and most base things have been said about them....yet if anyoone utters so much as the fact that they didn't care for Michele's dress etc., there is a barrage from the left, callling the writer a racist. Wow!!! so one-sided and biased I just can't believe.
