So lets see, the economy is tanking, people are losing their homes, can't buy food, the homeless rate is going up, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, the middle class is being wiped out, BUT President Obama made his debut on Vanity Fair's Best-Dressed List. Lets not forget first lady Michelle, this his her third year in a row! Wow, way to go Michelle!

It turns out Michelle is so popular with the fashionistas that she "got more votes than any other person this year or any year-she's that popular." Where was she when my women's upscale boutique Sorelle was going bankrupt in this economy? She could have shopped online and bought clothes from me! Too late now, the store went down almost a year ago, but there are still stores and people out there to save.

The good news is, "She has brought back the dress, she turned the planet into her runway." Oh good, my runway is now the aisles at Food Maxx, great prices, good fruit, and I am always wearing my latest fashions to be seen in the produce department!

I know too many people that are losing their homes, trying to figure out how to get by and stay afloat here in California to really worry about the latest list of best dressed people in the DC area. People do crazy things when they are facing bankruptcy, and a report like this, that the President and his wife are spreading their fashion wings in the White House, may make someone's bat wings expand even further!

Lets be honest, the economy is depressing. I am an anxious person at times, and I am now even more anxious. Maybe something like this list is supposed to take us away from our woes for a moment. Well, it didn't work. I am now dreaming about Nordstrom's and how I haven't been there for two years, and screw Michelle!

Brad Pitt made the list too. Angelina was cut off. I guess Brad's accessories edged him out over his wife! Guys, here is the list of accessories to add to your wardrobe so you can get on your wives or girlfriends hot list: hats, no not Cub baseball hats turned backwards, aviator sunglasses, and um, no, not the kind you weld in, and scarves. The scarf can't have anything to do with the Green Bay Packers! They are talking Burberry, you know, the motif going on with beige, red and black!

I am off to get ready for my runway aisle at Food Maxx. I think tonight I am going to show some arm, possibly a bit of leg, and a scarf for sure. Hey, I live in California, we wear scarves and Uggs here all year long!
