First and second

First of all, Michelangelo was right. His representation of celestial everything was remarkably accurate for a guy who didn't have a deep-space telescope.

Second, way to go, NASA.

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.
