Obama might be changing American politics, but at the Fashion Bomb our schedule remains the same:

…let’s solve some Friday Mail Bombs!
First Sabine says, “I love what Keyshia is wearing here, especially her shirt...”

Get it for $348 from www.bloomingdales.com.
Lastly, Ramona says, “I’m in dire need of your assistance I’ve been looking every where for some leather pants like the ones Rocsi is wearing...”

WWD reports that we might see Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue soon after the inauguration of president elect Barack Obama:

The article, by Stephanie D. Smith says, “Vogue has been campaigning for a Michelle Obama cover since last September ” both in print and in person. Editor in chief Anna Wintour and contributing editor Andre Leon Talley hosted several fund-raisers for the Obamas last summer, rallying the fashion community’s support for the Illinois senator.“
Ok Andre!! The article goes on to say that despite Vogue’s best efforts, Ebony or Essence might get to them first. “The Chicago-based title [Ebony] is quickly assembling a special January issue dedicated to Barack Obama’s candidacy…Essence is also said to be working on a special package for its January issue, but details have not been hammered out.“
Hmmm, so Ebony, Essence, or Vogue?? Which do you think she’ll choose?

DSquared will be designing Usher’s outfits for his ‘One Night Stand Tour’. A few looks:

In case you missed, this week’s flyest ‘fits:

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!
