What in the HOT! CRISPY! HECK? Daniel Edwards is a Loon- Completes Michelle Obama Bust

The man who brought us bronzed statutes of Britney Spears giving birth, Suri Cruise's first bowel movement, Paris Hilton's Autopsy, that hideous bust of Hillary Clinton topless and a sarcophagus and burial mask of Oprah Winfrey is at it again. This time his target is Michelle Obama.This is what a WAOD reader said via email: No words. I don't even know if it's good or not. I just don't know why he can't make a bust that look like Michelle now. He HAD to put some hoop earrings on the woman...ugh.WAOD Reader Sandra Rose's take on the sculpture:

For their part, the Edward's promoters offer this interpretation of the inexplicable:

“Michelle Obama’s Makeover for America” presents an accessorized mannequin bust of Obama that foregoes the conventional pearl necklace, and provides for her a ‘signature look’ to take to Washington. “The goal is to create a look for Michelle Obama that eliminates excessive comparisons to Jackie Kennedy,” said Edwards, who studied under the tutelage of legendary fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, “like supermodel Tyra Banks’s photos in Harper’s Bazaar, or the puzzling comment from CBS’s Byron Pitts that recommended ‘less Jackee, more Jackie O.’”

A pearl-studded Afro pick, shaped like an eagle, demonstrates the makeover’s fashion mix of Black African and White House heritage to reinvigorate the traditional First Lady pearls. A tight, spiral-textured mane complements Michelle Obama’s likeness, with the pearl Afro pick placed modishly askew in a Nefertiti-esque hairstyle. Included are big hoop earrings shaped like O’s that seem to suggest, according to a gallery spokesman, “Look out Oprah, a new ‘Lady O’s’ in charge.”

Adorning the breasts of Michelle Obama’s bust are temporary tattoos, of which an American flag is depicted, to compensate for Barack’s pin-free lapels. Additional breast tattoo designs for Mrs. Obama, by Chicago tattoo artist Alex Higgins, will also be exhibited.

“Michelle Obama inspires a fashion template change that many First Ladies of the 21st Century may follow, as we witness minorities in this country becoming the majority,” added the spokesman. SOURCE

I am sorry. This looks in no way like Michelle Obama. Look at what he did to Oprah. He constructed a Sarcophagus for Oprah Winfrey/span>

With her endorsement of presidential candidate Barack Obama, Oprah is making known her views on the need for healthcare reform. But controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards is urging talk show host Oprah Winfrey to do more by taking the time on her show to reach out to the recently retired baby boomers for whom healthcare reform will come too late. Edwards is offering his latest creation to Oprah, to assist the television icon in breaking the ice with baby boomers to encourage them to prepare for their own funerals. ... A gilded coffin lid bearing Oprah’s full-figured likeness with slimming vertical stripes, The Oprah Sarcophagus is designed for a look of cultural neutrality with respect to Oprah’s audience and the style of her magazine. “The Oprah Sarcophagus is the ideal visual aid for educating boomers about living wills, casket choices, and memorial service arrangements,” says gallery co-director John Leo. “We would like to hear Oprah tell her viewers that a great coffin should be something of which to aspire, and that no one should have to settle for a pine box.” Source

Now I could psychoanalyze this for days, but I feel dumber for even trying. Brain cells are dying as we speak. Is it November 4th yet? Huh? I saw some Halloween candy at Walgreens that means the end is near. Come on November 5th! Come on!
