Obama’s Glamorous Night vs. Mine
January 21, 2009 Posted in Buzz
Last night’s Inaugural Ball was a star studded event, to say the least. With celebrity guests from P. Diddy (or Puff Daddy, or Puffy, or whatever goes by these days) to Faith Hill, President Obama’s Inaugural Ball was one for the books.
When Denzel Washington introduced the President and his wife and they walked in to the traditional “Hail to the Chief,” I got goosebumps! The President and First Lady’s first dance had me crying like a single girl during “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” And her dress!! I want to get married in that dress!
The Inaugural Ball was all glitz and glamour, and as I sat on my couch with my boys Ben and Jerry in tow, all I could do was wish I was there. Wish that I was lavishly dressed in a Jason Wu gown as opposed to my overly-used Hofstra sweatpants, oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks. Wish that I was dancing with a successful, handsome man instead of snuggling up to my teddy bear. Wish that I was eating some freakin delicious dinner instead of Ramen. Wish that Beyonce sang a song just for me, instead of me dancing around to her jams in my underwear with my hairbrush. Wish that 1,000 people would come out to celebrate my life, instead of sitting home trying to friend people on Facebook.
But, alas, I am not Barack Obama. Or Michelle Obama. Or any Obama. I was an Obama voter, though. That’s gotta be something, right?

Oh my goodness, that dress was incredible! Truth be told, when I saw them come out, my first thought wasn't "Wow, there's our president!", but rather "Wow, Michelle's dress looks amazing!"

I don't know about you, but whenever Obama walks in "At last" plays in my head. Or that song that goes "What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man"
BTW, Michelle's dress was hot but Jill Biden was looking fierce.

Agreed… but don't forget "wish that when I went on a scavenger hunt the freaking JONAS BROTHERS would turn up at the end." Lucky Sasha and Malia!

By the time they got to my ball, they were damn exhausted, and I'm reasonably certain that the First Lady was physically holding up the President.
I loved the First Lady's dress but I thought it unusual that both she and Dr. Biden wore white! Well, so did J. Lo last night but that's not actually surprising… Apparently I missed the bridal theme.

I actually hated Michelle's dress…I thought it did nothing for her. She's so tall and thin, and has such a wonderful complexion, that she could wear so many shapes and colors…I thought her dress resembled a comforter, and made her look much wider than she actually is. I also hated that awkward one strap. I don't think anyone looks good in that style.
I did like Dr. Jill Biden's gown though.

ugh! I am so sick of hearing about Michelle's clothes! Seriously! She does not dress any more fabulously than a typical middle aged housewife. I have never seen her wear anything extraordinary. I just looked up a picture of her dress and are you kidding me!? It looks like a shredded rag! ugh.
My boyfriends mom was watching tv the other night and Michelle came on and his mom said "man that woman is in desperate need of a personal stylist!" She hadn't gotten the memo that Michelle was "the new Jacki O" so I informed her. Her response, "you must be kidding! At least Jacki O had class!" I just had to laugh.

Still thinking "What a man" and "At Last?" OMG! You're the dumbasses that overlooked the facts and voted for Obama!!!! And I can't really say anything about Michelle other than she's hard to look at!!!
