Inauguration Special! Obama Presidency a new era… Fashionista’s not so sure.


Barack Obama may have won the US election with a landslide but there’s one block of voters who may prove a stubborn obstacle to his sweeping reforms and social care programs.

Fashion experts across the globe are only extending a cautious welcome to the Obama’s and the new leader of the free world may need to devote many hours or even open a consultation role in his new government to key magazine columnists if he’s to win the battle of the Whitehouse wardrobe.

After Michelle Obama’s inauguration outfit drew gasps and stinging reproach from several fashion editors of the top glossies, there was concern among Oval Office advisors that health reforms may need to take a back seat to the important area of fashion PR.

One insider said confidentially “Never mind closing Guantanamo or solving the financial downturn, we have to nip this fashion criticism in the bud or there might not be a second term… These magazines can be vicious.”

Lord Mesmo was unavailable for comment as he and Miss T’su were in an urgent meeting with Grazia.
