Michelle Obama in Narciso Rodriguez

Michelle Obama actually wore Narciso Rodriguez on election night. I personally did not like the dress that much, but this past Sunday at the “We Are One” concert (January 19th) she was seen wearing a custom-made camel-and-black wool coat, black sequin silk beaded top, scarf and pencil skirt by Rodriguez. Honestly, there is not much to complain about. Simple, elegant and beautiful. She was also wearing jewelry on loan from Loree Rodkin.

Notorious B.I.G.

One day after a man was gunned down at the premier of a film about Notorious B.I.G., four men were stabbed during an unofficial after party for this film in a New York Nightclub.

A 21-year-old man sustained multiple stab wounds and is listed in critical condition, while the three others are in stable condition.

Here is what Marc Jacobs has put together for Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2009 collection. It was inspired by a book about wartime fashions.

Many celebrities wore Christian Dior at the Golden Globes this year. Here is a preview of what is to come this Fall 2009.

Llouis Colet

A 62-year-old French man, originally from Catalan, has broken the world record for speaking non-stop for 124 straight hours. Llouis Colet spoke for a little over five days about Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Catalan culture and other topics.

The previous record holder was an Indian man who spoke for 120 hours.

“This is a big day for me and I dedicate this record to all those who defend Catalan language and culture,” he said, his voice fainter after five days of nonstop talking.

Colet had set the record once before in 2004 when he spoke for 48 straight hours.

Question: How does a person stay up for five days straight? What happens when he goes to the bathroom? What the longest break he can have between words? How kooky is this guy?
