Is Michelle Obama Really One Of The Most Desirable Women Of 2012?

Ask Men just released its annual list of the ninety-nine most desirable women as voted on by its readers, and the final product is attracting plenty of attention both for its winner and for an unexpected choice. Hunger Games/ Silver Linings Playlist actress Jennifer Lawrence fought off all contenders this year and came in at number one, while First Lady Michelle Obama finished in thirty-third position.

Given she’s publically vowed never to lose weight for a role and doesn’t seem overly interested in marketing herself as a sex symbol as much as an actress, Lawrence’s win has surprised many, though it hasn’t exactly generated a ton of controversy. Mrs. Obama, on the other hand, has received more than a few double takes and plenty of confused “WTF?” comments from readers.

Ask Men singles out the recent publication of a book about Michelle’s garden and her husband’s recent election victory as reasons for her making the list, but as a forty-eight-year-old powerful wife and mother with real influence on policy, she seems, to many, more like a woman to be admired than a woman people actually desire. To others, however, her bold style choices and every woman appeal make her the perfect choice to earn a middling position on a most desirable list like this.
