Sure, Michelle Obama has been anointed Most Stylish First Lady In History and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is undoubtedly the hottest first lady ever and Italy’s first lady is busy divorcing her playboy husband. But most of the world’s first ladies just blend into the background.
That’s about to change according to the Independent:
Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Japan’s Prime Minister-elect, Yukio Hatoyama, is a lifestyle guru, a macrobiotics enthusiast, an author of cookery books, a retired actress, a divorcee, and a fearless clothes horse for garments of her own creation, including a skirt made from Hawaiian coffee sacks. But there is more, much more. She has travelled to the planet Venus. And she was once abducted by aliens.
The 62-year-old also knew Tom Cruise in a former incarnation – when he was Japanese – and is now looking forward to making a Hollywood movie with him. “I believe he’d get it if I said to him, ‘Long time no see’, when we meet,” she said in a recent interview. But it is her claim in a book entitled “Very Strange Things I’ve Encountered” that she was abducted by aliens while she slept one night 20 years ago, that has suddenly drawn attention following last Sunday’s poll.
Perfect. Hatoyama can remember meeting Tom Cruise in a prior life, but Michelle Obama can’t remember meeting Bill Ayers in this life.
