The Red Sea has parted

That is exactly what Michelle Obama’s highly debated red and black dress reminded me of. The Passage of the Red Sea marks the crossing into the Promised Land. And November 4th marked a new era for American politics and international relations.

Designed by as part of Narciso Rodriguez’s spring 09 collection, the scoop-neck dress made a statement. For or against, Mrs. O’s ladylike, luxe swagger was able to pull it of with grace and style. I wonder what she will wear for the inauguration?

Well dressed = Well blessed

Last night on Jay Leno, Michelle Obama mentioned that she shops at J. Crew. See video...

"Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble,… You can get some good stuff online,” - she said.
