Stylish First Family-Elect

Barack and his family will have many challenges to face in the next four years, but style won't be one of them. As usual, the First Lady-Elect, Michelle Obama, looked flawless on election night in a Narciso Rodriguez dress from the designer's Spring 2009. Didn't the entire First Family-Elect look absolutely gorgeous?!!

Yes We Can!

Rosa sat so Martin could walk so Barack could run so my children can fly! I have never been more proud to be an American than I am today!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

I think this is just about the most clever thing I've ever seen. The bridal dress is actually sort of pretty. What do you think?

The event was sponsored by the Fourth China Reproductive Health New Technologies and Guilin Latex Factory.
