Obama-bilia!!!

I know it has been a while, but I have been in NY participating in fashion week festivities. I have never really enjoyed fashion week, but participation is advised when you're scratching your way to the top of the fashion food chain. There were so many interesting points (I'll feature some highights into the blog as they relate to other issues) but the most striking trend that I observed is Obama-bilia. The presidential race is increasingly creeping into new aspects of our life, but this one is moving to me. I am of the belief that you don't have to compromise intellect to be fashionable, and the trend of subtly incorporating political support accessories is fabulous! It helps that I am seeing more of this practice among Barack Obama supporters....being one myself as a former resident of Chicago, IL, advocate for higher education, and general fan of ideas that make sense. Now the news is trying to make Sarah Palin a fashion icon.....whoa Nelly! Icon....now that's fashion blaspheme! This just goes to show how style commentary should be left to the experts;-) Check out a pic of my friend, David....he's so hip and a quintessential example of how to make a statement without trying too hard. Let me know your thoughts on the subject and please send pics of fashionable political statements. xoxo g
