Fashionista First Lady!

Ladies and gentlemen....we finally have a fashionista First Lady! She's classic poetry in motion, all the while holding down her family. Yes, we congratulate President Obama for being the change that MLK once dreamed of and for his history-making inauguration that illuminated D.C. with the power of 2.5 million strong (we love you Barack!). We've got to give Michelle Obama her props though! Black women across the world can finally look to a First Lady with unprecedented pride and joy. A black woman from a working-class family on Chicago's South Side, a Princeton AND Harvard-educated mom-in-chief, an avid proponent for offering new support to broken military families...what can't this woman do??

And on a fly note, her Secret Service code name is 'Renaissance'. That's right- transitional and modern with classic influence, vigorous and artistic with a powerful intellect. No wonder Barack just had to have her! Michelle was getting that paper when he was a senator y'all. And then he wrote those books and that's when they became the seven-figure Obama family. And everybody saw how they get down...while en route to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., she emerged from that impenetrable Cadillac with Barack in the freezing cold and strutted her fly ass down the street in that GORGEOUS chartreuse wool dress and coat and those oh-so-fab green Jimmy Choos. And when Michelle spoke at the DNC Convention, all eyes were on her, her presence, her eloquence, her poise. She is beauty and grace personified. And she's become quite the media darling. But someone crossed the line the other day and criticized the First Lady (I LOVE calling her that!!!) for not wearing a black designer's dress to the Inaugural Ball, instead opting for a breathtaking white floor-length, off-the-shoulder Jason Wu original. Come on people...the first black president is elected to unify what divides us and his fabulous wife catches heat because the designer is Taiwanese?

Stop the madness and stop hating...whoever concocted that bullshit is just mad that Michelle didn't wear the dress that the designer had to take a second mortgage on the house to pay for. Hi Hater!!

And lastly...leave Malia and Sasha Obama alone! Michelle is NOT having it...and she's spoken out, asking the media to omit the girls from the press frenzy. Their father is now our new President, they moved from their beloved Chicago to D.C., and are now living in the White House. Isn't there enough pressure on them without Ty Inc. trying to capitalize on the world's most famous children? And these dolls are odd-looking too...it's a mockery to even sell these dolls, when the Obama girls are gorgeous. Then the company's owner reiterates to the media that she wasn't trying to emulate the girls' look or their names, and that the names of the dolls, Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha, were just a coincidence. Yeah right, lady. If you're creative enough to make those anomalous dolls, you've got enough moxie to bust out a couple of names to go with your stupid toys that nobody's going to buy anyway. They've been out a week and how many have sold? TWO.

It's a new day people...and our new first family is ushering a new era. Is it me, or is the sky bluer and the sun's shining brighter? Either way, millions and millions of us feel like a brand new pair of fresh kicks.
