Also, how is this a ball, and not a concert?

Exactly! I know that dancing doesn't mean what it used to, but there should be some distinction, don't you think?

Also, dude, how spoiled are we? Publishable-quality pictures, within a couple hours of the event. Every once in a while I have to step back and let the Internets blow my mind. How do they fit it all in those tiny tubes?

I like Jill Biden's dress, except for the neckline.

Oh, another cool moment from today : an old white woman and a young black guy terrorist fist-bumping after PRESIDENT Obama's speech.

It's been a good day.

I don't follow Natter much - Bitches is all I can handle - but I've loved the inauguration W&P today. Thanks, guys.

Haven't seen Jill's dress yet. I started watching Fringe. No pretty dresses there.

sara, you ROCK for taking T down there and being in it all. So cool.

Also just noticed in my flickr contacts that QPB was there! Allyson, have you seen his pics yet?

Yes, I think he must have been turned toward Cheney in that one.

If that had been the case I would have expected this: [link]

There was just a promo for Nathan Fillion's new show, Castle, on ABC. Premiering in March.

If that had been the case I would have expected this: [link]

If that gesture was directed at Cheney I think the next picture might have looked more like this: [link]

I love the "Sasha and Malia most adorable moments" slideshow, because seriously? SO ADORABLE, OMG!! I love that one of the captions is something like "and then she just does other generally adorable things" ....because it's true. Heh.

Not a fan of Michelle's dress. Although watching them do their first dance made me giggle, because they were like, making faces at the crowd, because understandably, it's awkward to have that many people watching you dance, you feel really silly if you're not doing some choreographed number or something! But I continue to fangirl and ship our First Couple.
