HAPPY FRIDAY!

It is raining in Southern California, but it doesn't matter because it is FRIDAY!

TGIF, everyone! We had a short week, and I have been so busy to write these days. It's nice to be busy and productive.

Here is what's happening on this damp yet lovely Friday:

* We have a new President and new era! President Barack Obama was sworn in this week. If you missed the historic inauguration, you must be living in a cave.
* Barneys is for sale! Who will buy this luxury retailer?
* Michelle Obama: a new fashion icon? A new fashionista in the White House is catching so much attention with her use of up and coming American designers. How chic!
* Oscar nominations were announced yesterday. Few snubs and surprises, as always. Hugh Jackman will be hosting!
* Hillary Clinton is officially our Secretary of State! Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits!
* Some retailers are on the verge of bankruptcy. Craziness
* Best way to spend weekends these days seems to be watching movies at home and reading.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
