Obama look-alike? Male Model.
In my previous job, last year, I was an Art Director for a small Department Store. The majority of my work was for the circulars in the Sunday Papers. We used models from all the major cities. One of my very favorites was a male model named Roman. He is the nicest man in the world, and really good looking. I told him last fall he looked a lot like Barack Obama. He said he'd heard that before. I teased him that he was eventually gonna have a hard time walking through airports.

I saw him on the cover of a Seattle fashion magazine where they were doing a spoof of the Presidential candidates in Armani. He was, of course Barack. I just ran across this video on YouTube He's playing the part of Barack to Tyra Banks playing Michelle. See what you think, my hubby says Roman looks nothing like Obama...I happen to think Roman is better looking, but less Presidential, of course...

I have a feeling Roman is going to be very busy for the next 4 years!!!!

1. Not so much
Tyra looks even less like Michelle, and what's with that hair?

2. He's very good looking, but I don't think he looks that much like Barack
Sorry. Haha.

Similar coloring/hairstyle, for this shoot. I wouldn't look twice if I saw him on the street, though. Well, maybe I would, but not because he resembles the President. ;)
