This forum is about style as well as strong women, which gives me non-political grounds to mention the person I'll miss seeing in the media regularly. I'm not American and do not live in the US, so I haven't been directly exposed to or affected by her daily or overall influence in the domestic matters, but I have followed and admired this very special woman with great interest over the past 8 years.

I love this interview made with Michelle Obama (check Oprah quoting Maya Angelou at the very end).

I'm sure there will be many analyses over the coming weeks about Mrs O's legacy, but as a foreigner I have found that she had made America more than proud. Her charisma, dignity and pride, her integrity and sense of self, her clear and strong identities as a woman, mother, wife and as a separate political figure; and yes, her sense of style which had never overshadowed her personality -- in short, her presence and purpose were absolutely admirable. Fantastic role model for so many people and hopefully for years to come.
