Call me lazy, or off my game. But when I saw Michelle Obama in that stunning red & black number late Tuesday night, I couldn't for the life of me figure out who she was wearing. (And trust me, I can usually call them 9 out of 10.) So patiently, I waited, and late yesterday, the credits started leaking. Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2009.
And then the inferences started shooting off in my head like a circuit board gone haywire. Well, of course, she had to wear designer on one of the most historical occasions this country will see for many generations to come. I mean, considering all the rallying & fundraising spearheaded by Anna Wintour, no big surprise that the dress came from a designer from 7th Avenue. Pretty soon, I'm sure, Narciso will come out with the story of just precisely when and where he met Michelle, and how he & she collaboratively decided she would wear that dress.
The timing couldn't be better for Narciso, who just recently dissolved his partnership with Liz Claiborne. I'm sure it couldn't have been easy for Narciso to part with all that cash, but when you're working with a company whose target clients' tastes run more mass and comfort, than chic and designer, well, I can certainly understand.
As for Michelle color-coordinating the entire family? Normally I'm not a gal that needs to color coordinate anything. In fact, it looks a little cheesy to me and I, more often than not, go to great depths to make sure my shoes never match my bag, or my belt (much less my husband). Maybe I was swept up by the fact that I was witnessing what will perhaps be the single most historic moment of my generation (unless, of course, Hilary can sweat it out a term or so, get back on that campaign trail, and on the party's nomination ticket). But gee, I thought the whole Obama clan looked stunning.
And Michelle? She's no Carla Bruni, but she'll give the French supermodel a pretty good run for her money. I just can't wait for the first official state visit from the Sarkozys to see what the gals will be wearing.

Take pleasure Shopping in Japan
Japan is one of the most treasured places for the visitors. It consists of four main islands and several small ones, which in combination make the image of the sea horse. The country is also known as land of rising sun. Most of the islands of Japan are mountainous and some are volcanic. However, it offers a mild and soothing predominantly moderate temperature. Any visitor can enjoy the place with all pleasures and adventures. The experience of shopping in the markets of Japan is also pleasant.
The shopper can decide the products of his choice at the competitive rates. And if you want to do the shopping at the cheap rates then wish to visit the near by market. It offers the used products like Japanese Clothes, electrical appliances, books, toys,
It was an historic moment. But like many events in America, it happened slowly, naturally, and peacefully. Not too many countries vote in minority candidates as their leader and visible minorities at that. Only four presidents ago, the African American population represented 9% of the total.
I can't wait to see a European head China, or an Asian run Canada. There was a Japanese president of Argentina recently. But I don't think it ended well. Sarkozy is almost an example.
