WE'RE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT'S JANUARY 2009 (HARPER'S BAZAAR)

Who knew Harper's Bazaar was so interested in politics?

Who usually would have cared?

Well, bounding over the Pop Culture landscape, we do.

And who knew Tyra Banks, a constant contender for the title of "Hardest Working Woman in Show Biz," could pull off impersonating high office, comedy, fashion and an incredible sense of timing and the absurd?

We do now.

Harper's have Tyra doing her best Michelle Obama, from the campaign trail to the Oval Office to the personal Presidential bedroom, in their September issue.

If you thought there was any line between fame, celebrity, politics and power left to cross in today's America, Tyra and Harper's beautifully blur it all.

Read the interview accompanying more of the pictures here. 

And Tyra, you might stumble every now and then, but when you look into the camera in full glamour mode and say, "Michelle and Obama, you all just might be going to the White House, I'm going to White Castle because I'm starving" - well, it just nails it.

For more wit and wonder from Tyra and Harper's, check out a behind-the-scenes video here.

Is Nicollette Sheridan gonna do Cindy McCain next?

Or should it be Janice Dickinson?

We can only hope.
