Did you hear about a new anti-gay marriage advertising campaign? Seems that Miss California, a cute Christian college coed named Carrie Prejean, is the star of a new campaign created by the National Organization for Marriage. Why her? As anyone who has been on YouTube during the last two weeks will recall, Ms. Prejean recently lost the Miss USA competition. She claims it was for this controversial answer:
Anyway, the new ad is titled "No offense" ('cause no offense, but gays are gross and immoral, right?). You can view it here.
My thoughts: I'm pro-gay marriage, so I obviously don't agree with Ms. Prejean. At the same time though, I respect her for having the guts to speak her truth. My biggest problem -- why would the National Organization for Marriage pick such an uninformed and inarticulate spokesperson to represent them? Ms. Prejean is probably a very sweet and lovely young woman, but her ability to argue her point, both at the Miss USA competition and in subsequent interviews, is clearly lacking. To be blunt -- she's a blond bimbo. Apparently the National Organization for Marriage couldn't find anyone better to support their cause. Hmm....I wonder why.

Inauguration
My boyfriend attempted to see the inauguration today. He had scored some fancy tickets, thanks to his Pelosi hook up (yay Carlos!) and he was stoked. So stoked that he woke up at 5 AM to get his booty down to the Mall. But alas -- the political gods must have been pissed at Mr. Garcia because, long story short, he never got in. He waited 5+ hours only to find out that they never opened his ticket section! Strange and totally sucky. Boo!
Sometimes life isn't fair, right?
On a different note -- who had heard of Isabel Toledo before today? She designed Michelle Obama's inauguartion outfit. Personally, I thought the color was reminicent of puke, but somehow Mrs. Obama pulled it off and looked pretty freaking amazing. And those fab Jimmy Choo patent shoes didn't hurt either. But the style award for best dressed family member of a president had to go to Malia and Sasha.
Both girls were decked out in 100% J. Crew. They looked totally modern and cool...and absolutely adorable. I especially loved Malia's blue coat. The clothes were custom made for the little girls, but similiar pieces will be coming out in J. Crew's 2009 fall collection. But moms, you'll need to start saving now: J. Crew doesn't come cheap anymore, and every 10 year old girl needs a $300 coat, right?
