Inaugural ball fashion

Pardon me while I convert into girly talk.

OMG! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the gown! Eeeee!

Ahem.

This is going to be the hippest White House ever.

[UPDATE: See the dance link! And cry!]

Seeing the Obamas dancing together in the spotlight, my cold black journalist heart grew three sizes.

I still found room in my brain to find it totally tacky that Beyonce sang an Etta James song, since she is currently promoting her Etta James movie. So maybe my heart only grew 2 and a half sizes. But the little affectionate, intimate, deeply emotive looks the Obamas exchange in big moments like this remind you that real love exists, even for politicians.
