In Politics and Entertainment

The United States still chants OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA even after all the festivities end. In world news, this is still the topic of the day. With his American flag pendant, the first tasks on President Obama’s agenda have been the closing of Guantanamo Bay detention center and establishing a plan to bring harmony to the Middle East.

While President Obama remain in the forefront; naturally, Michelle Obama has slide into the background as President Obama begins his legacy. After the unveiling of her inaugural gown, she has taken her place as First Lady. She chose a dress by designer Jason Wu to wear on inauguration night, as the couple appeared at multiple star-studded balls around The District. The glitz and the glam of Hollywood descended on the world of Politics for the night. People were dressed in costume jewellery and their best and warmest clothes to catch a glimpse of President Obama.

Many of those artists who performed at the We Are One Concert showcased their talent at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball such as Shakira and Mariah Carey whose microphone stand was blinged-out with clear swarovski crystals.

Kanye West performed for the Youth Inaugural Ball hosted by MTV. And like many, I was disappointed with his image. His usually flawless, fashion forward look has been morphed into the look of an 80’s reject. I doubt any fashion magazine puts him on their best-dressed list this year. Here’s some advice to Mr. West. Put on some costume jewellery! Try a stainless steel piece for a more polished look, maybe a stainless steel bracelet or necklace. If you don’t like stainless steel costume jewellery try wearing swarvoski crystals. Even costume jewellery like diamond stud earrings, it will give you some shine because you are looking a little dull.
