I call this dress the “He loves me, he loves me NOT” dress. MO has probably plucked all the posies off this dress in her quest to find out the truth...WE could have told her, had she only asked!

Minus the silly headgear, and switch the color to black, I would wear it. In New York, especially the East Village this would pass as normal dress.

Advice to Desiree Rogers, Obama White House social secretary: “make nice to the people that are working there.”
By
Lynn Sweet
on December 1, 2008

WASHINGTON —Dipping into their close circle of Chicago friends to find the new White House social secretary, President-elect Barack Obama and wife Michelle named business executive Desiree Rogers to the job Monday.

Rogers, 49, is a former Illinois Lottery director, Peoples Energy chief and current president of Allstate Financial’s Internet play, who has been a major social and civic figure in Chicago for years.

Rogers will have one of the most important jobs in the East Wing — the domain of the first lady — which oversees the social events in the White House.

“She just has this great ability to do things world class,” said her former husband, John Rogers, another close friend of the Obamas who will be one of the Inauguration co-chairs. The Rogers have a daughter, Victoria, 18, a Yale freshman.

Desiree met Michelle Obama through John — he attended Princeton with Michelle’s brother Craig Robinson and later met Barack. Rogers would go on to become close friends with Valerie Jarrett, who grew up on the same block on South Greenwood Avenue as John Rogers.

President-elect Obama tapped Jarrett to be one of his senior advisers on her birthday Nov. 14, and that night the Obamas attended a party for her at Rogers’ Astor Street co-op.

The next evening, Rogers was in Washington, dining at the home of former Clinton White House Social Secretary Ann Stock to learn more about the position. On Sunday night, the deal was sealed over a meal in the private dining room of the Mayflower Hotel here with Michelle.

(snip)

Another person Rogers turned to for advice is Ann Jordan, who, with husband Vernon are fixtures in Washington society — she is also Jarrett’s cousin as well as a trustee emeriti at the University of Chicago.

“One of the things [Jordan] said is, ‘Desiree, you really have to make nice with the people that are working there. They’ve been there for many years.’ “

I thought this chick was sposed to be the Social Secretary —— not a social butterfly who plays Dress-UP in designer gowns and attends events. For instance, how many state events did any of Jacki O’s Social Secretaries ever attend?

Reminds me of the time I put on my winter parka and I had some underwear from the laundry stuck to the velcro.

Reminds me of the time I was high on peyote, covered myself in rubber cement and rolled around in a pile of plastic shopping bags.

Why does Michelle have a smile in post #70? I almost didn’t recognize her without the scowl.
