Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
We expect our first lady to be a regal, a maternal figure and to present herself in a business-like manner, but also be someone we can relate to.
But do we really want her to be herself? Mexico's first lady, Angelica Rivera, has caused a stir for doing just that, in striking a decidedly declarative — some call "sexy" — pose on the cover of this month's Marie Claire for Latin America.
The Washington Post's Fashion Critic Robin Givhan joins Take Two to talk about first ladies' evolving roles and how their public personas are changing.
