With Bush/Cheney finally out of the office and Obama/Biden bringing sexy back, the biggest question of the day: how do we feel about Michelle Obama's swearing-in ceremony dress? It was a sparkly yellow/almost limey/puke-ish color dress with like olive green gloves. It's possible the color wasn't as bad as it appeared on TV, but I'm pretty sure it couldn't have been much better in person. The style of dress was classy, but the color was bleh which killed it for me.
First Lady Style Watch to be continued ...
Other highlight? The benediction by Rev. Lowery! Only an elder Civil Rights leader can get away with saying this shizz, which pretty much put an exclamation on the entire event:
"And in the joy of a new beginning,
We ask for the help to work us towards that day
When black would not be asked to give back
When brown can stick around
When yella will be mella
When the red man can get ahead man
And when white would embrace what is right."
SO AWESOME.
