Inauguration Day

I can't believe it is finally here -- Inauguration Day! I am so excited and wish I could be in D.C. to be a part of all the festivities and the excitement of this historic moment in American history. Alas, I am thousand of miles away from the balls, the parties, the concerts and the cold. (Well, I could do without the cold, as I am happy in my 70 degree weather.)

But just because I am not physically there, doesn't mean I can't dream of what it would be like to be in the thick of all those taffeta gowns celebrating the night away. So, if I were there -- giving air kisses to Michelle and fist-bumps to Barack -- this is how I dream I would ring in our country's new beginning...

And, of course, for those many imagined cocktail parties I would be attending, here is a cute, sophisticated, LBD.
