Just when I was wondering where is Michelle Obama when Barack needs her the most, a controversial bust designed in the likeness of Michelle Obama was unveiled yesterday in NYC.
On his website, the artist, Daniel Edwards, described his artwork as

Remember back in the day when Hip Hop respected women and sistahs were referred to as Queens instead of video hos? In this Tribe Called Quest video, the female sex object is dressed completely from head to toe. All the other females in the video are dressed similarly.
