I guess my diminished enthusiasm can best be expressed by the fact that I'm not in DC this time. 2008 was such an incredible moment, and there was no way I was going to miss it. This time around--meh; I've got stuff to do at home.
Looking forward to his speech, though. And--of course--eager to catch every detail of FLOTUS' outfit. That Isobel Toledo jacket was such a knockout last year. I would love to see something equally stylish and unexpected.
She's got me worried with these bangs, though...

Posted: 1/21/13 at 9:27amI have no less enthusiasm. The alternative was so repugnant. Great day for the country!

While I'm all behind the Obamas, I always thing the "re" inauguration is always lacking.
But yes, looking forward to the speech.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Are you?
I find they make her look so...ordinary--like every cashier in the City.

I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2. "unleash the girly"

Posted: 1/21/13 at 11:29amShe looks amazing. Next week every other woman in America will have bangs.

Snowed in at home today, so am watching some American theatre-of-state.
I think it was really important for the message the US sends to the rest of the world that this particular President got a second term, and I'm glad he did.
The BBC is running a lot of commentary over the addresses though.

Posted: 1/21/13 at 11:52amThey sounded great, but I thought the arrangement was kind of cheesy.

LOL. I give in! If it's good for the Gays, then who am I to fight them?
Personally, I think the Thom Browne coat-dress is better for the Gays, but I will try to adjust my world-view...

Oh, Mr. President. You had me at "our gay brothers and sisters". 
#17Obama's Second Inaugural
Posted: 1/21/13 at 12:07pmIs this the first POTUS speech to ever name-check Stonewall?

"Tears sprang to my eyes"--turns out that's not just an expression...
Do you think Mitt Romney would have made a point of supporting "our gay brothers and sisters"?????

The first black president connecting Stonewall to Selma in an inaugural address?
That's epic.
