Hey!
So on Tuesday, I asked you guys to send in pictures of what you wore to vote or pix of yourself after you finished voting. A few of you sent in some fabulousness. Let’s check it out!
First Adrienne says, “I am a sophomore at Tuskegee University! Since this is my first presidential election, not only did I have to vote, but I had to look cute and represent Obama as well!“

“… The shirt has a picture of Obama as a card and it says “If America plays its cards right, not only will it make history, but we’ll make a positive change in America!” I also have on a cute red jacket and red velvet flats with a lace and plaid scarf. I hope you like and I really hope that me and Obama win!” Well Obama won…I think Adrienne’s a winner too!
Reader AJ snapped a pic in her car:
She says, “I’m a voter here in Atlanta and I stood in line for 1.5 hours to help turn my state BLUE this election. Here’s my voter pic and you’ll see I have the sticker to prove I came, I saw, I conquered early voting in Georgia.” That’s right!
And lastly Lady B sent an e-mail with the subject, “My Voting was Priceless“…
She says, “I know you can’t truly see my fit but I’m so proud of myself and our people for stepping up for a change!” And it worked!
Well I think everyone should get a Fashion Bomb T just for voting and sending in a pic! But there can only be one winner of the Pink Cherie earrings. Who should it be? Leave a comment and let me know!
Bisous!

A friend sent me a collage of some of the nation’s (and the world’s) newspapers from yesterday:

I heard the NY Times is selling on Ebay for $200!?!?
I wonder what I can fetch for a Paris Metro Newspaper? Ha!

Yooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
So I’m checking my CNN from Paris, and I see headlines!
Headlines like ‘Change has come to America‘ and ‘Obama claims Historic Presidential Win.“

Yes!
Yes!
Yes we DID!!!!!!
We at The Fashion Bomb are no stranger to politics or fashion, and of course had to bless this day with a post not about Obama, but about his fly wife, Michelle:
Just like Barack’s changed the game in politics, Michelle’s style has completely redefined First Lady chic. Her bold-colored sheaths, flip hairdo, and funky accessories broadcast that it’s OK to be trendy, creative, and a little edgy:
Michelle’s calendar will now be chock-full of events (and will require more wardrobe changes than a Mimi concert!). So we here at the FB have done our patriotic duty and rounded-up a few outfit suggestions for First Lady Obama–don’t y’all just love how that sounds? We’re political, funky, fly: check what we came up with:
1. Black Halo Keyhole Ruffle Sleeve Sheath in Ash, $345. 2. J.Crew Cashmere Schoolgirl Cardigan, $175. 3. Brian Atwood Tonya Patent Platforms, $650. 4. J.Crew Quilted Patent Leather Quincy Hobo, $298. 5. White House Black Market Adorned Tweed Jacket, $198. 6. Tracy Reese Trapunto Waist dress, $266.
And don’t forget about the parties: SHUT IT DOWN:
1. Oscar de la Renta Silk Faille Embroidered Dress, $4,990. 2. Banana Republic Jeweled Rolled Clutch, $120. 3. Roberto Cavalli Embellished Cocktail Ring, $370. 4. Miu Miu Paillette Embellished Pumps, $650. 5. Vera Wang Jacquard Draped Long Gown, $3,870. 6. Christian Louboutin Very Brode Pumps, $1,095.
Bisous!
*And we’ve been great since January ’08. Check this Style File on Michelle Obama!

If you’ve coveted Beyoncé’s, Zoe Saldana’s, or Kelly Rowland’s makeup lately, chances are Jackie Gomez‘s talented brush created that fabu look!

Jackie, whose clients have also included Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, and R&B ingenue Natasha, took a sec from her hectic schedule (she was prepping for none other than Bee when we connected) to share makeup tips and how she rose in the biz.Jackie began at 19 by assisting as many established makeup artists as she could, and credits her “drive and ambition” as motivation to start booking her own jobs. “As a Latina, I know the importance of loving one’s exotic features and use that, along with makeup, to make women feel and look amazing.”Jackie recommends that you “practice makeup all the time–the more you do it the better it becomes.” She also stresses the importance of apprenticing, keeping an eye towards striking out on your own, and being confident enough to develop your own style!
She also brought it with a few makeup pointers! Here are her Top 5 Makeup Tips:
1. Eyes should be flirtatious and gorgeous, so have fun! Lashes look best when they’re darker than eyebrows, and several coats of mascara will give you a false lash effect.2. Keep eyebrows in their place: your eyes need a frame to appear balanced. Tip: use a stencil for a perfect brow.
3. Blush is very important! It sculpts the face and gives it life. Go for a bronzer with a peachy blush for a sexy glow.4. Foundations are meant to even out your skin, and they should be a little more yellow than pink for a flawless tone.
5. To prevent eyeliner from running, go over it with a cotton swab dipped in dark eyeshadow.
Did I mention that she’s also a favorite of the guys? John Legend, Marc Anthony, the Clipse, and Hurricane Chris are fans!
And you know I had to get the 411 on her favorite makeup things:1. Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer, $28 2. Korres “Guava” Lip Butter, $9 3. Makeup Forever High Definition Foundation, $40 4. Christian Dior Diorshow Mascara, $24 5. NARS “Crazed” Blush, $25 6. M.A.C Lashes #35, $12
