Wow.

Sasha and Malia Obama are being exploited.
Ty Inc. -- the company that brought us Beanie Babies --is on to the next big thing--the two first daughters.

The new 12-inch-tall dolls are named "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia," however the company denies any inspiration from the Obama girls. Ty Inc, just always happen to make African- American dolls--- NOT!

According to the Associated Press:
The Oak Brook-based company chose the names because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to Malia and Sasha Obama, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.
"There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."

President Obama's camp has said that it is "inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes."


The Ty Girlz are selling for $29.99 for two.

I'm writing this at 11:59 PM.

Today was Martin Luther King day and in a minute, it will be the day that America's first African- American President will be sworn into office! Some of you are probably in Washington getting ready to partake in the events and make history. Others will be at home or in a theater somewhere watching on a screen. No matter where you are this has to be the best and will be the most memorable day in American history. It's not even fully about having a Black President but just knowing that you can overcome all obstacles in your path to greatness. This is just a reminder to dream big and begin attaining your goals --- there are literally no more excuses. Get the life you want starting NOW!

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

We are the change that we seek. "

Barack Obama

Yes We Do --- Love Your Fashion Sense!

Michelle Obama has received loads of attention concerning her fashion sense and beauty. Her wardrobe is more edgier than Cindy McCain's polished look which has landed her tons of magazine covers and spreads. According to a WWD article with designer Charles Nolan and his significant other, Andrew Tobias. The relationship between this designer and the treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, perfectly exhibit the union between politics and fashion.

Here's a little taste of what they had to say:

"In a fashion contest between the two potential first ladies, Nolan would — perhaps not surprisingly — give the edge to Michelle Obama.“Michelle just has a much more natural, youthful take on how to dress,” said Nolan. “The idea of running in and getting a dress for $110 bucks [at White HouseBlack Market] and having it look amazing on ‘The View’ is incredible. She is very natural and attractive and in person she has a presence.”

When talking about Cindy McCain, Nolan says:

“She seems sort of fairly traditional and almost kind of clichéd and a little pinched,” he said of McCain. “It’s that whole pinched, semiperfect look. I liked her better when she was doing the bad hairdos and went a little Vegas for awhile. She likes the cosmetics.”

Can't Stop, Won't Stop--- the Obamas!

I love the Obamas.
I hope you guys are all registered and ready to vote!
Voting is your voice, I hope I don't have to school anyone right now... come people, change is around the corner.

Besides, nothing is more fashionable than an intelligent President.
Let's get it!

Tyra Talks About Being First Lady

Tyra explains. . .everything. Behind the scenes of the shoot & finally the male model has a name. Hmm. . .still curious about him.

[ ... ]

Tyra Is The First Lady

In Harper's Bazaar (September), Tyra has decided to channel Michelle Obama. She can be seen next to an Obama look-a-like acting like the next [maybe] first lady. When I first heard about this, I was like OH NO. Once again Tyra trying to get some publicity. I was actually surprised that she pulled it off & oh so gracefully. Or maybe I'm just giving her too much credit. One thing I do know, Michelle Obama needs to TIP in that purple dress.





BTW: Who is the model that played Mr. Obama? Hmm. . .

[ ... ]

Don't you love poking fun at EVERYONE?

JibJab makes some funny political videos. LOVE IT!
Check out this one featuring all the whos who of the '08 race.

Everyone loves Obama!

"Italian fashion goddess Donatella Versace has dedicated her entire 2009 spring-summer collection ...
... to none other than Barack Obama. First, he gets Oprah's endorsement. Then, Jane Fonda's endorsement. Then, Scarlett Johansson's. After that, he gets his own official almost-president Great Seal. Now, Donatella."

.... I just found this and I had to re-post. Next stop, the title of Commander-in-Chief! =)

WOW!

and I hope everyone reading this who is 18 and up is registered to vote! I'm not playing.

Barack Obama

As seen on BET.com:

"According to the Star-Telegraph Newspaper in Dallas, the federal agency responsible for protecting Sen. Barack Obama decided to allow thousands of people into a political rally without going through any security screening. The reason for this lapse of good judgment: the lines were long and the process was taking too long."
WOW!
This is just a preview to the quality of protection that Sen. Barack Obama will have WHEN he wins the election.I don't know about the rest of you guys but I think he should definitely be worried about his safety.

[ ... ]

Obama-fied!!!

I am a hardcore fan of Barack Obama and he is making me so proud with all those back to back wins despite all of Hilary's conniving remarks and attempts at ruining his campaign. First was the well- known "Obama girl" and now.... Mr.Obama is a Barackstar and has completely changed the way that Americans refer to politics. Brittanica, step aside... the Baracktannia is here!
