SERENA WILLIAMS STRUTS IN FIVE INCH HEELS TO MEET THE PREZ


From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was tennis before baseball for President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Before heading off to St. Louis to throw the first pitch at the All-Star game, the president welcomed Wimbledon champion Serena Williams to the White House

"It was amazing," Williams said before her World Team Tennis match with the Washington Kastles. "I love President Obama; he has such an unbelievable presence, and he seems to be so normal — and he noticed my shoes. I think that was the highlight of the whole day, was he liked my shoes."

Williams said she was wearing 5-inch heels for the presidential visit.
"He asked me, 'Should I be wearing high heels?' So I thought that was kind of funny because he may have been right," Williams said. "Because it is a job hazard for me, but I insist on wearing them."

Williams got to meet Michelle Obama and the rest of the first family.

"I didn't know she had such an amazing personality," Williams said. "She had me cracking up and laughing. I knew she was a great person, but now I really understand how important this first family is to the United States. And the kids were just so cute and sweet, and the dog was nice."

The question: Did anyone take a picture of those heels? We want to see them!

Rest In Peace, Michael Joseph Jackson



Rest In Peace, Michael Joseph Jackson

Michael Jackson can be defined as a legend, an icon, and the definition of powerful talent. He was B-A-D and we salute you for all of the influences to not only music but to the fashion world too.


Everyone knows that if you should ever see a pair of white socks with black patent leather shoes that it was MJ-inspired. Everyone knows that if you should ever see a red leather jacket that had tons of zippers on it that it was MJ-inspired. Everyone knows that if you should ever see a black jacket with gold tassels over the shoulder that it was MJ-inspired. Everyone knows that if you should ever see a white fedora with a black ribbon around it that it was MJ-inspired.

There were many more MJ-inspired clothing ensembles that we could name, but those aforementioned are likely to spark a conversation and/or raise an eye brown.

Love you, Michael.
