A lovely New York City confluence

Well, you can buy the Michelle Obama comic book at Forbidden Planet.

And then, just blocks away at Fashion Institute of Technology, you can walk into a free exhibit of...

Isabel Toledo's "Fashion from the Inside Out."






And what is in the Isabel Toledo exhibit, behind glass, iconic, a piece of history?

Yes, Michelle Obama's inaugural dress!




And, with great respect to Isabel Toledo, the dress only works when it is on... Michelle Obama. The mark of a master designer -- the dress comes to life on the person it was intended for.

Highly recommend: Decade Under the Influence

"Cinematic success is not necessarily the result of good brain work...

but of a harmony of existing elements in ourselves that we may not have ever been conscious of...

an accidental coincidence of our own preoccupations at a certain moment of life and of the public's."

Francois Truffaut

Good Lord! Save the field-dressing for the moose, Sarah!
