#FLOTUS Bangs & @JasonWu Double Time for @MichelleObama

Michelle Obama Inauguration Gown Flotus Jason Wu #FLOTUS Bangs & @JasonWu Double Time for @MichelleObama

We were experiencing a slight case of déjà vu last night as Michelle Obama dazzled us in yet another Jason Wu stunner. For the evening portion of the 2013 Presidential Inauguration, Mrs. Obama wore a red chiffon and velvet gown by the designer, who also designed her white inauguration gown four years ago.  Obama paired the gown with red Jimmy Choo heels and a Kimberly McDonald diamond ring.

President and First Lady Obama attended the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball at the beginning of the evening, where they shared their first dance together this term. “Ladies and gentlemen, my better half, and my dance partner, Michelle Obama,” President Obama said as he brought his wife on stage. The two danced to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” performed by singer Jennifer Hudson.

The second Ball of the night was the Inaugural Ball held at the Convention Center. Here, more than 30,000 guests watched as the Obamas danced again to Jennifer Hudson. This ball, which first took place in 2009, is open to the public with tickets that cost as low as $60. Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, and Stevie Wonder performed, among others.

Thanks to his white gown that he designed for Michelle Obama for the 2008 Inaugural Ball, housewives and soccer moms all over America know Wu's name and are fans of his designs. André Leon Talley, editor-at-large of Vogue, introduced Wu to Mrs. Obama and she is said to be a career-launcher for him. While some designers submitted multiple designs for consideration, the red gown was the only one submitted by Wu. Just like the rest of us, he had no idea Michelle chose his dress for the event until she appeared on stage Monday night.

The red gown from Monday night’s festivities was decorated around the neckline by real diamonds. The added glitz not only added some glamour to the ensemble, but also lent an air of maturity and confidence to Michelle, who has become a fixture in fashion magazines and blogs worldwide. This is definitely an appropriate look for the night. It’s vibrant and classy, but at the same time subdued, and the way it flowed behind her as she walked down the stairs onto stage for she and her husband’s first dance was breathtaking. Ahhhhh!

Michelle Obama Power Bangs #FLOTUS Bangs & @JasonWu Double Time for @MichelleObama

Cut to the chase: One thing we couldn’t help but notice about the First Lady’s overall appearance was her bangin’ bangs. Mrs. Obama, who has had basically the same shoulder length haircut throughout her husband’s presidency, recently had a little style makeover in the form of fringe. Everyone’s completely obsessed with it and it’s easy to see why: she looks younger and her face looks slimmer. Who doesn’t want that? Many women, especially those who are middle-aged like Michelle might be a bit weary of chopping off some of their hair like that, but Mrs. Obama is clearly a bossy, no-nonsense lady who knows what she wants and knows what will look good on her. And now if you or a friend wants to rock some Michelle Obama bangs for a day or a night, you can. With Hairdo by HairUWear Clip-In Bangs, you can go from long bangs to short bangs with the click of a clip. Remember when Samantha Jones wore a different wig everyday? This is kind of like that, but much less shocking. For the bossy girl who has everything and isn’t afraid to change her hair like she changes her shoes, this is the perfect gift for Valentines Day, a Birthday, or just any day.

Although it can almost go without saying that Michelle Obama is one smokin’ hot mama with an awesome sense of style, there are some things that require further explanation. Like FLOTUS. Who the hell is FLOTUS? What exactly does that mean? Who made it up? Upon further investigation, we found out that FLOTUS is actually Mrs. Obama’s Twitter handle. The First Lady’s staff manages her second twitter account, which was launched on her 49th birthday last week. The twitter handle is obviously an acronym for “First Lady of the United States,” but what were confused about is why everyone keeps using this as a synonym for Michelle Obama. Like, we get it, she’s the first lady, and it kind of rolls off the tongue, but you don’t see people going around calling Anna Wintour ‘EICOV’ (Editor-in-Chief of Vogue) or calling  President Obama ‘POTUS.’ When did it become cool to use acronyms instead of actual names? Are these the people who go around saying LOL out loud instead of actually laughing? Stop using acronyms, people. STOP TRYING TO MAKE FLOTUS HAPPEN. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Sean John Gives Back & Spoils Starlets at Sundace

Sundance and Sean John Sean John Gives Back & Spoils Starlets at Sundace

Once a year, the snowy town of Park City, Utah becomes the mecca for celebrities and movie industry insiders. Skiing the slopes and watching the newest movies by day, partying at the hottest spots at night—the Sundance Film Festival is where it’s at for wintertime Hollywood fun. And while movies and parties are fun, you know the celebrities are probably most excited for all the free swag they get. The Talent Resources Suite at the Sundance Film Festival is where the stars go to try out new gadgets, taste delicious gourmet food, and try on clothes. And the best part is, they get to keep all of it.

The exclusive apparel sponsor at the Talent Resources Suites for this year’s Sundance Film Festival is none other than Sean John, the clothing company owned by mogul Sean “P Diddy” Combs. Stars like AnnaLyne McCord, Paris Hilton, and Karina Smirnoff stopped by the TR Suites to pick up their free Sean John outerwear. But Sean John isn’t just giving coats away to rich people who can afford them—for every coat given away at the Sundance Film Festival, Sean John is donating a brand new coat to an at-risk New Yorker as part of the New York Cares Coat Drive (SMILE).

The coat drive, which benefits New Yorkers in need, has to date given out 61,790 coats to New Yorkers. Although individuals can no longer donate coats (the coat drive ended December 31st), the New York Cares website encourages financial donations. While most companies are just giving away their goods at events like the Sundance Film Festival in the name of great publicity (who doesn’t want stars to be wearing around their clothes or using their gadgets), it’s refreshing to see a company who has figured out a way to benefit those in need through giving away their products.

David Yurman Signature for All You Debutantes

David Yurman Signature David Yurman Signature for All You Debutantes
With just under a month left until Valentine’s Day, it’s just about that time of year when you can start dropping gift hints to your significant other. Maybe you can leave a website up on their computer? Or perhaps leave a magazine open to a certain advertisement with a big red circle around that ring you’ve had your eye on for a few months? If you don’t have anything in mind for your V-Day gift, fear not. We’re here to help with some inspiration from David Yurman. Founded in 1980 by David and his wife Cybil (both accomplished artists), David Yurman is a brand that’s recognized the world over. If you can’t call a Yurman piece when you see it, then there surely has to be something very wrong with you. Their cable bracelet, with a twisted band complemented by beautifully colored gemstones, is their signature piece. Other than that, on DavidYurman.com you’ll find yourself dazzled by more bracelets, rings, necklaces, and timepieces than you’ll know what to do with.

If you’re in the market for a very special kind of ring, David Yurman’s collection of engagement rings is the way to go. Colored and colorless diamonds are surrounded by pavé diamonds and set on a signature twisted cable band. If you’re into something a little less permanent, Yurman’s newest collection, Pave Pinky Rings, is a good choice. With a heart-shaped diamond in the center, this ring says, “I love you, but I don’t want to marry you, so I bought you a ring to wear on your pinky finger instead so you can always look down at it and see your ring finger is ring-less.” At least it’s straightforward, right? Perhaps this year you want something in the jewelry realm but not necessarily jewelry. For the girl who has everything, there’s the David Yurman Butane Lighter. Crafted from beautiful silver, this is the chicest way to get cancer. And if you’re not into smoking, maybe you’re into carrying around a knife? It’s totally acceptable if it’s made by David Yurman—believe me.

Tiger Wants Elin Back — Do We Predict A Prospective Acquisition?

Tiger Woods and Elin Noredgren Tiger Wants Elin Back Do We Predict A Prospective Acquisition? Tiger Tiger Woods y’all! This dude is a total gem. Like, every woman’s dream man type of guy. Like, knight in shining armor type of good. What gal wouldn’t want a guy like Tiger? A guy who will surely cheat on her constantly, and with strippers no less. Cause if you’re gonna cheat, do it with a stripper, and if you are going to get caught, at least you didn't give her an STD, or at least not one without a cure!

But anyways, we all know the story. Back in 2009, it was revealed that Tiger cheated on Elin with a ton of chicks…did we say a ton of big mouthed bitches. He would still be in matrimonial bliss had the first snitch not yelped. Wasn't there one that couldn't get a measly $200 for her years worth of deodorant or something? Anywho, when Elin found out, she smashed the back window of his Cadillac (supposedly) with a golf club, and bust him with the club as well, and then filed for divorce. Running through a pure bankroll of a measly $110 million and she’s now rebuilding a $12 million estate in Florida so she can live in her dream home and world…without Tiger but with his money, obviously.

But that’s not the end of this fairytale. According to the National Enquirer, Tiger proposed to Elin this past Christmas. He even got down on his knee and presented her with a ring. A ring?! For a proposal?! Get out!

Instead of going total lesbo and taking all of her friends shopping in laughter or just giving him the finger and telling him to fuck off, Elin might be considering reconciliation–but not without a cost. Drumroll, there’s a small detail I forgot to mention—he’s offering her a $200 million pre-nuptual agreement. So if they get divorced, she gets to add that to the fat pile of cash she’s already got. Score, how's that for come-back-cash. But Elin’s no idiot, so she countered back with a $350 million anti-cheating clause. And Tiger accepted! Nothing says we’ll be together forever like promising to pay your soon to be former ex-wife more than half of your total net worth should you decide to sleep with another stripper, or freak-a-little-some on the side, you're covered.

This guy is really all about the romance…and we fell for it too, cha ching! A milli, A millionaire, I'm a Young Money Millionaire, Elin's Tougher than…Elin, we're dancing to the same tune. Now Tiger may be bumpin and grindin to another Wayne hit, and fucking every girl in the world, at least it's the same old genre. Pimping and hoeing…Verdad?
