Loving the Cindy McCain messy chignon. She went to the polls so glamslam we were sick with glee!
Michelle Obama was fronting a more soccer mom look with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and headband, dressed down in all black. Not a good look. Quite the fashion letdown.
We predict, however, that Michelle will be fabulous tonight at her hubbie’s Chicago celebration.
Wow, Americans! You’re really showing up. That’s supercool. Those of you who endured long lines and early mornings, way to go.
Those of you who haven’t voted: GETYOURLAZYASSESUPANDOUT. It’s time we stopped taking all of our glorious freedoms and privileges here for granted.
If you’re scared about this race today, we want ya to know that we are too. But we need change and we’re just gonna have to keep the faith that whatever happens, it’s moving us in a different direction.
The country is in dire straights and whomever wins is going to inherit a pile o’ problems. It won’t be easy to fix these either, so we are going to hunker down and try hard to unite around a better way forward for us all.
Of course, we’ll be wearing great shoes and carrying a spectacular handbag as we unite…..but how could we do it any other way. AS IF.
Go vote and feel good that you stepped up and made your feelings known. It’s key to have a say. If you don’t, then please don’t complain about the path we’re on and how it’s all so broken. As we’ve said all along, change begins with you. Inside you. Let your diva light shine and know that democracy is the best system on the planet. And even at our worst, we’re still the freest and most glorious nation on the globe, times 1,000.
TTFN
We are supersad to learn that Barack Obama’s grandmother passed away today from cancer in Hawaii. We are saddened that she died the day before the big election. How hurt he must be, even though he can’t really let down his guard and he campaigns — too much at stake.
We wish him and his family peace.
We loved John McCain on “Saturday Night Live.” He was more open and funnier than we expected. The bit about a “Republican without money” Sublime. Loved the blank plates. Obama shoulda done the townhalls with him, providing a better contrast.
Supercool that his little blonde wife (LBW) came on as the QVC presenter. Ya know, if she wasn’t already so darned rich, she kinda looks like a QVC presenter. Following along with that note…. why hasn’t she spiked his campaign with the big bucks to make up for the Obama windfall? Just curious.
We think the polls are capturing a close race based on individual voters, but it’s the electoral college that will kill McCain on Tuesday.
Whew…..it’s almost over. Be cooler if it were more of a horserace. Some Senate and House seats will certainly provide that action, tho. November 5th will probably be a tough day to be a Republican, we surmise.
First he kicks reporters off of his plane. Not just any reporters. Three from the New York Post, the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. All of them had traveled with the campaign for months. And he gives their seats away frivolously to folks like Jet magazine and documentary filmmakers, as well as broadcast stars. Those publications, by the way, had all endorsed McCain.
Not so transparent, huh? We hate it when candidates behave this way. It’s pathetic and so base. What an incredible turnoff. If you were on the fence before, this is good enough to cause you to flip.
Then, if that stunt wasn’t bad enough, he yells at the media for shooting footage of him escorting his little daughter to a Halloween party near his Chicago home. Dude, any hope of anonymity is over. You wanna be president, your private life is pretty much done for the next four years. Sure, it’s cool that you are hanging with your little girl, but to tell the press to go away and then take off running. How inelegant!
We think your conduct in both these instances has been hardly presidential and very cheesy.
It’s a problem that often goes on behind closed doors with friends and family afraid to speak out. Domestic violence touches all sorts of lives — rich or poor and also famous.
We’re glad the Hudson family, in the midst of such tragedy, has channeled its grief into something good.
They have started a foundation to help families just like theirs.

Think of all the good it would have done people who are suffering in this economy if Obama had spent that money on help and not on some infomerical… which was boring.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
And allow us to say that it seemed utterly ridiculous, if not pompous. Plus, he lied about the campaign finance stuff.
There ya go……nuff said.
It would probably be a good thing if GOP nominee wife Cindy McCain didn’t wear any more leather.
It looks dated and not very chic, kind of like someone wanting to look young. With the age-inappropriate Barbie hair, the leather is just over the top.
Great body. A very beautiful and hard-working lady who hasn’t gotten enough credit for her business moxie and charitable generosity, but she’s off the tracks fashionwise. We’re sure it’s designer and expensive, but it’s a little too Spiegel catalogue/new money-Jersey housewife for us.
MEOW
Check out the latest Gallup presidential poll. We know they always tighten close to election day, but still.
John McCain isn’t trailing by that much. We wonder what the actual turnout will be. We expected a landslide for the Democrats but in the presidential race, it could be closer than we are hearing in the press.
We have a serious celebrity love jones for Daniel Craig, who now plays James Bond. He’s oddly attractive and not so conventional. We always dig the weird ones best.
Apparently the suspect in the Jennifer Hudson family murders is a member of the famed Gangster Disciples street gang. While some claim gang activity in Chicago is not out of hand, it would appear otherwise. Someone needs to take control of that city and stop the violence. Seriously.
We hear a coterie of celebs are going to turn out for Hudson’s family memorial services. We hope they show her love and support. She’s gonna need it after this tragedy.
Finally, Cloris Leachman, bless her heart, is off of Dancing With the Stars. We suppose viewers grew tired of the gimmick. She was funny but this is a dance show. Susan Lucci, altho lovely, looks too wooden. We think she’s the next to go. We think Lance Bass seems to likeable and his partner a real champion of dancing — she always performs 110 percent.
Those housewives in Atlanta are despicable. We haven’t seen anyone so self-absorbed since like high school. They are pathetic and spoiled and dreadful.
Jeremy Piven is once again turning this season of HBO’s Entourage into must-watch TV. Seriously, Sunday nights at 10 p.m. He’s insane as Ari. We love it so much we call it the Ari show.
We secretly want to be Amy Winehouse, but we’re not skinny enough to pull off the heroin-chic. We need better ideas, other than princess. We are that nearly every year.
Wonder who Marie Osmond uses as a plastic surgeon? Cause it’s super great work.
The tragedy that has befallen Jennifer Hudson is too much for anyone to take. We feel so bad for her and her family. Anyone who could shoot a 7-year-old boy in the head deserves the reaches of hell.
Are there gray hairs in the Barack Obama head? Some of his handlers need to break out the hair club for men. We don’t need a youthful prez with a headfull of gray, ya know . It kinda kills the buzz. We dug the photos of him in Hawaii wearing jeans and sandals. So modern.
We secretly wish Annie Liebowitz would take photos of us. She’s genius.
Saving Abel is our new fave band. We LOVE them and you should, too.
In our quieter moments we are thinking of our troops overseas. We hope you never forget them either. They deserve our ongoing prayers.
Not that we believe it’s anything more than a fictionalized account of the life of the prez. But for Oliver Stone, it was quality filmmaking and it lacked a lot of the Michael Moore-style cheap shots that make a lot of that type of left-wing political skewering unwatchable.
Josh Brolin is fab as Dubya, a really amazing performance. Lots of well-knowns round out the cast of presidential cabinet characters.
We recommend. We thought we’d hate it, but we didn’t at all.
The latest victims of Chicago’s ongoing murder spell are sadly the mother and brother of singer/actress Jennifer Hudson. We feel bad for her, but we do hope the publicity these murders generate helps to spur the city to get ahold of its crime rate and fight back harder against the gun and gang violence that has plagued certain areas of the city.
This is Chicago’s South Side, Barack Obama’s home turf. It has also made the city the murder capital of the nation. The (fairly) new police chief seems to be in trouble there, as murders have spiked under his watch. If city lawmakers weren’t outraged before, they ought to be now.
Did we mention Miss Hudson’s nephew is apparently missing — he’s 7. Good news, tho. The thug life who shot them is now in custody. We sure hope they find the little boy alive.
A very tragic story…..we send our diva condolences to Jennifer.
Says our Sarah to the Chicago Tribune: “I think Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard in her primary race,” Palin said. “Do you remember the conversations that took place about her, say superficial things that they don’t talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles, all of that? That’s a bit of that double standard.”
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Palin said.
THE STORIES ON HER $150,000 WARDROBE ARE WRONG.
Those comfortable-shoe-wearing trogs who are all over Sarah Palin about her campaign wardrobe spending should get a life. Hillary spent a pile on clothes. It’s just that she’s not in shape, has very little fashion sense and picked things that were not attractive.
These leftists are just angry because Sarah looks good in her clothes. If she were some dowdy feminist, they’d stand down. How much you think Nancy Pelosi pays for her Congressional wardrobe?
Let us answer our own question: A SHITPILE. She’s wearing as much designer apparel as Cindy McCain. And yet, why aren’t they screaming that she’s sending the wrong message?
We are incensed! Pelosi is up there in Washington spending our money on funding losers on Wall Street. And doing it wearing six-figure rags. It just so happens that they are sexless and she’s someone’s grandma. And Sarah. We’ll…..she’s hot.
AS IF.
We decided to make the great and mannered fashion guru our new de facto father.
He’s genius, he’s to-the-point, but he’s also nice. And he knows clothes.
We all need fashion parenting. We really do.
In her recent sit-down with PEOPLE mag, our Sarah muses that she wants her preggers teen daughter to move forward with a wedding at age 18. She acknowledges that the teen sperminator has dropped out of school to work and praises his desire to support his new family.
We gotta say we think that’s WAY off base. These two kids need to be finishing school and going to college. They can have the baby but they must think about a future that isn’t so Alaska blue-collar. No offense, but really. They need educations. And getting married can wait til say, they’re 21. At 18, no one is in a good head space to make a decision on marriage. It seems kind of out of touch to suggest otherwise. We know she wants them to do the moral thing, but golly she seems to be glossing over the realities of what is going on.
Love you, Sarah. But we just can’t agree on this one.
It’s been going on for like two years, or at least it feels like that.
Oy… we’re sick of politics. Are you?
But vote. Just do it. Ya gotta. Even divas do it.
Galpal Courtenay writes us in exasperation today: “What the F is up with Katie Holmes? That picture with her and Tom at the Hermes cocktail reception on the People site… a 3-piece pin striped suit??!! With her hair and those clothes? That pair is looking like the photographic negative image of Ellen and Portia??!! She is a beautiful girl and it looks like she’s becoming a clone of her husband. Just freaky. Please explain. Did her stylist die? Get fired by the Scientology freaks?”
A very good and timely question. And we agree, for the most part. She looks like a unisexual zombie, pale, somber and a mere shell of the lovely woman who married him in Italy not so long ago. It’s starting to creep us out, too.
Whaddya think? Her little girl Suri is lovely. Could Katie be happy or is she going along in this weird world that she’s lost control over. Something doesn’t feel right.
