Malia and Sasha – Poor Little Rich Girls Must Hand Over the Jewels
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Dang, what good is it to be daughters of a world leader when you can’t reap the benefits? First daughters Malia and Sasha recently had to turn over gifts from Saudi Arabia – two diamond necklace and earring sets – worth $7,275. Why? Because our good ole U.S. Constitution has a clause within it banding federal officials, or their family members, from accepting foreign gifts.
But apparently, Malia and Sasha are used to this. Since President Obama took office, they’ve had to turn over:
- Two 15-piece nesting dolls from Russia. Worth: $500.
- Four scarves, one teddy bear, and one jewelry box from South Korea. Worth: $570.
- Four dresses and two Isabel Garreton jackets. Worth: $815
- Four books and 17 DVDs from Australia. Worth: $470
So what happens to the gifts? Well, they’re carted off to the National Archives. But wait, get this. Once President Daddy leaves office, the girls, or should I say mommy or daddy, can “buy” back the gifts. Did that feel as criminal to you reading as it felt typing? Geez, the government is a bona fide racketeer.
I can’t help but wonder if the gift givers know about this policy? If they didn’t before, they probably do now.
Oh well . . .
WAIT! Does this mean First Lady Obama is borrowing or buying all of her fancy frocks and things?

Globetrotting in Style
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
As an image consultant and wardrobe stylist, I do a fair amount of globetrotting. When I travel, every aspect of my look must make a stylish statement, including my luggage.
Accessories can make or break a look instantaneously, and when traveling, your luggage is your biggest and most noticeable accessory. I believe luggage should have a look that inspires envy on carousels from Paris to New York; possess lots of pockets and zipper sections to make it perfectly suited for today’s grab and go approach to travel; AND be able to withstand practically any baggage handling system worldwide.
It’s been said that who, or in this case, what you roll with, is a direct reflection of you. With that said, when it comes to a travel companion or two, basic simply won’t do for this certified image consultant. *Indigo shrug*
Here’s a glimpse at the two travel essentials I never leave home without.
Genuine Italian Leather Zippered Travel Bag – Chiarugi
I effing love this bag! Not only does this beauty work perfectly with everyhing in my wardrobe, it easily accommodates my laptop, medium-sized pocketbook, two outfits, and a pair of shoes, with no problem. A little pricey but for those of you who know a little bit about me, you know where I coped it.
Fits my laptop and a whole lot more!
My second road partner is my TUMI Vapor International Carry On. Made of tough, lightweight triple polycarbonate shell, it offers ample space to pack for a five day getaway. My favorite features are the 360-degree swivel wheels, making this piece very petite friendly, and its tracking systems for retrieval should the piece ever get lost. That’s right. Luggage GPS twitches! Tumi puts a metal plate with a unique 20-digit registration number in each of its bags. Customers can register for the Tumi Tracer program to have their contact information entered into a central database so they can be reunited with their bag if it is found. Brilliant!!
Beauty and Brawn

Luggage GPS Baby. Oww!
