Michelle Obama's Inauguration Dress
The Obama’s have become larger than life figures by process of the presidential election campaign, and by extension Michelle Obama has become somewhat of a Rihanna when it comes to style and fashion. The black Kennedy’s...The black Jackie Kennedy...So it wasn’t completely shocking to learn that a slew of designers, from Marc Jacobs, Rachel Roy, Zac Posen and more have submitted sketches of their vision for her January 20th 2009 Inaugural Day/Night dress.

Jessica Alba...Baby? What baby?
I first clocked Jessica Alba on Flipper, and she has been a cavity to my retinas ever since! Now the good girl is gone MILF in a calendar for Campari. Interestingly enough on my way to work this morning I saw half-full bottle on ground. LOL Anyway, the photos are exactly what you expect from Jessica...sexy/tasteful. Photographed by the ill Peruvian Mario Testino in Malibu with only 9,999 are going into production so all the Stan’s out there better act quickly!

A Proper Seat Game...Herman Miller "Embody" Chair
I remember when I first learned the word “ergonomic”. It was grade 8 core class and we were taught a new word each class. I actually recall leaning back in my chair and testing the level of comfort …it wasn’t that comfortable, but I thought it sure beats standing up! This Herman Miller “Embody” chair. Some of you might have heard of the revolutionizing “Aeron” chair they made way back. (Author Malcolm Gladwell referenced it in his book Blink) I can only imagine would kick the sh*t out of my classroom chair! Or any other office chair I’ve had the privilege or resting my ischial tuberosities on. This bad boy will set you back about $1,600 but I'm sure you're back will be good for it.
Fourteen years after they unseated every other office perch with the iconic Aeron, the designers at Herman Miller have once again upped the ante on stylish chairgonomics. The new Embody not only looks great — we love the spinal-styled back — it's heaven on our ischial tuberosities (you know, ass bones). An array of knobs and levers let you tailor the chair to your body like a bespoke suit, and an improved tilt mechanism combats neck, hip, and lumbar strain. The ergoheads at HM even tapped studies on tissue perfusion to boost its backside benefits: The three-layer pixelated seat flexes and absorbs your tiniest movements, distributing your weight more evenly. In other words, as you work, you're actually decompressing. Sounds good to us.

Essence Magazine Dedicates January Issue To Obama
Essence may have scooped Vogue, sort of, in being the first women's magazine to put Michelle Obama on its cover since the presidential election, but the Time Inc. title did so by relying on archival images. Essence's January issue is dedicated to President-elect Barack Obama, with essays and commentary from Maya Angelou, Bill Cosby, Chris Rock, Gwen Ifill and other notable African-Americans.

Damn homie!
One of those things you might thought about, or heard of but never did! With damn good reason...
Marc Jacobs x Bugaboo Stroller
Marc Jacobs has teamed up with baby goods company Bugaboo for a collaboration I didn't see coming! Decked in the all-over “Love Marc” insignia I would debate picking this bad boy up if I went on to fertilize the lucky lady's egg. I do work for a children goods distribution company, so I have my preferences when it comes to strollers...perhaps I can wait it out for a Goyard x Mountain Buggy collabo on an Urban Single and Carrycot!
