MICHELLE OBAMA COVERS O MAGAZINE


First Lady Michelle Obama joins daytime diva Oprah Winfrey on the April 2009 cover of O magazine.

“Say what you will about books-people do judge a magazine by its cover, which is why it’s important to me to keep the cover of this one looking fresh,” says Oprah. “And right now nothing – and I mean nothing – is fresher than the family that moved into the White House in January, sparking a national spirit of renewal the likes of which I’ve never seen.”

Beyonce attended the Neighbors' Inauguration Ball where she serenaded the first Couple with Etta James' At Last as they shared their first dance.

HISTORY YOU'RE OURS!!!!


The moment it seems we've all been waiting for finally went down on yesterday. President Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America as his wife, Michelle Obama, and daughters, Malia and Sasha, looked on.

Placing his hand on the Bible once used by Abraham Lincoln, Obama took the Oath of Office at 12:05 p.m. on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Immediately following, he delivered
his Inaugural Address to a sea of flag-waving Americans stretching down the National Mall to the Lincoln Memorial and beyond.

4 SUITS OBAMA SHOULD WEAR TO THE INAUGURATION

If you Baracked the vote back in November, than you’re just as excited as I am for tomorrows' inauguration ceremonies. Kanye West was recently quoted as saying, “I could design something for Obama to go to the club in. But I don’t know if I’m ready for suits and stuff.” I don’t think any of us are ready to see Barack and Michelle in the club slow windin’, no matter how dope ‘Ye would be able to suit them up. You know what though.. Fresco Daily took the liberty of picking out a few options that will put some swag for our NEXT PRESIDENT'S big day.

SUIT OPTION 1 & 2: Dolce & Gabbana

SUIT OPTION 3 & 4: Ermenegildo Zegna

OH SO FRESCO...

BEYONCE, MARY J. AND OTHERS TO PERFORM FOR INAUGURATION


What kind of event could bring BeyoncĂ©, Mary J. Blige, Bruce Springstein, Usher, Will.I.Am, John Mellencamp, Shakira, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow and Josh Groban together to share a stage? A massive charity concert? A glitzy awards show? Nope. The inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. Those celebrities and a ton of others have signed up to perform at “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial,” the first of many official events sponsored by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. According to the The Washington Post, the 90-minute concert will begin on Sunday at 2 p.m., and HBO will air it for free (for all cable and satellite subscribers) that night at 7 p.m.

FUNNY SH*T


Watch as President George W. Bush ducks two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office to mark the signing of a security agreement.

“This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.

Bush wasn’t hit, and announced “I’m okay” after the incident. He added, “All I can report is it is a size 10.”

According to CNN, Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.

OBAMA APPEARS ON BILL O'REILLY



Our future President did extremely well against 'media bully' Bill O’Reilly. Every attack has been handled as it have been. Very calm, and owning the conversation. Obama is caculated in everything he does/says…just the temperament the boss should have.

Everyone that’s riding with Obama needs to get everybody they know out to the polls on Nov. 4th. McCain and Palin are far from ready to ride on everything you love.

If your not into politics you have to understand that just makes you a willing victim for the right wing agenda!

MICHELLE OBAMA IN THAKOON


While other first ladies and political women often sport the likes of Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, Michelle Obama has taken to the rising stars. She rocked a printed Thakoon dress along with three Erickson Beamon broaches the night her husband delivered his nomination acceptance speech.

It's a big coup for Thakoon Panchigul, who was recently approved for membership in the CFDA.

"I am incredibly honored that Michelle Obama chose to wear a dress from my collection on such a historical night for her, her family and this country," the designer said.

VIDEO: BARACK OBAMA'S ACCPETANCE SPEECH



I urge everyone to watch full speech that Presidentail hopeful Barack Obama’s delivered last night at the Democratic National Convention. More than 84,000 people jammed into Invesco Field at Mile High stadium to hear him accept this historic nomination.

Obama explained to a roaring crowd that we must decide between four more of the last eight years or a new direction aimed at ending the conflict in Iraq and easing economic insecurities of working families.

TOM FORD FUNDRAISES FOR OBAMA


According to WWD, Tom Ford is co-hosting a fund-raiser for Barack Obama in L.A. at which, much like the Calvin Klein/Vogue fundraiser, Michelle Obama will rub elbows with fashion- and entertainment-industry types.

And while we're on the subject, today is the uber-chic designer's birthday. Who knew 47 could look this good.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION SPEECH



Michelle Obama declared "I love this country" Monday as she sought to reassure the nation that she and her husband Barack share Americans' bedrock values and belief in a dream of a better future. She was amazing! Incredibly poised and very eloquently spoken. Best of all, she blew that whole "elitist" garbage right out of the water! So let's contrast this down to earth woman with the wife of her husband's opponent. Yeah, good luck with that.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION COULD BE LIKE FASHION WEEK


Next week's Democratic National Convention and the events surrounding it just might be to Denver what Fashion Week is to New York, Paris, London, or Milan. Fashionable celebrities like Ben Affleck, Spike Lee, Anne Hathaway, and Kerry Washington have confirmed their attendance; fashion-industry faves Kanye West and Cyndi Lauper will perform; and the Huffington Post's "Oasis" lounge will offer yoga, massage, and aromatherapy to delegates. Even New York Fashion Week doesn't have a lounge like that! (SMH at Mercedes-Benz.)

MICHELLE OBAMA DOES EBONY IN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN


As I'm sure most of you already may have seen, or heard, Vanity Fair's Best Dressed (First) lady Michelle Obama graces the September cover of Ebony magazine. But I bet what you didn't know is that the suit she is rocking... Alexander McQueen.

INSIDE THE ISSUE:

On her style…“I do think what you wear is a reflection of who you are. I love to look glamorous when there’s a wonderful, purposeful event that is appropriate. But when I’m in Iowa campaigning with the girls, I am in Gap shorts and a T-shirt.”

TYRA BANKS AS MICHELLE OBAMA IN THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF HARPER'S BAZAAR



As was previously rumored, Tyra Banks does indeed have the September 2008 Fashion Edition of Harper's Bazaar. In the issue Tyra pays homage to Michelle Obama - clad in a black shift dress and pearls, she poses next to a Barack Obama look-a-like in the White House. Bazaar casts her as First Lady while she reflects on being a model citizen and the politics of fashion. Maybe I spoke too soon, look at the trend Vogue Italia has set: first POP, now Bazaar. The September Bazaar hits newsstands this week. Check out pics from the spread below:
