It's the first time Winfrey has invited somebody to appear alongside her instead of appearing alone. Obama dons a Michael Kors dress and Dear Cashmere cardigan, while Winfrey wears a dress by Rachel Roy New York. In the interview -- Obama's first inside the White House -- the duo talk about everything from making the home more comfortable to her daughters' waning excitement about their dad being president. Here are some excerpts from the must read interview:
MICHELLE'S DECORATING PHILOSOPHY: "It will reflect our family. I want comfortable sofas, I want art that reflects contemporary and traditional, I want to bring in new American artisans," she adds, "and you've got to be able to make a fort with the sofa pillows! Everything must be fort-worthy."
MICHELLE'S WHITE HOUSE VISION: "It's a beautiful home. When you go out and come back, especially at night, with all the white lights on--it's just beautiful. We feel privileged, and we feel a responsibility to make it feel like the people's house. We have the good fortune of being able to sleep here, but this house belongs to America"
WHAT MICHELLE "KNOWS FOR SURE" IN LIFE: "I know that all I can do is be the best me that I can. And live life with some gusto. Giving back is a big part of that. How am I going to share this experience with the American people? I‘m always thinking about that."
KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS: That's the thing about being the First Lady: You try to catch your friends up on what's happening in your life, and they're like, ‘We know – we read it in the paper."
HOW MALIA, 10, AND SASHA, 7, KNOW DAD'S HOME: ""Once someone on my staff e-mailed to tell me that the president was on his way. But you could already hear the helicopter, so it was like, well, no kidding."
Pick up the Newest issue of "O" and add it to the collection of covers Mrs. Obama has graced in as many weeks (I luv it).
