Modern gal KG and I are dear friends because she and I share a love for what’s important in life: Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and well-choreagraphed dance sequences.
KG found this little gold nugget: President Obama is down with the Single Ladies. John Legend was using a personal video recorder to capture the moment of being on stage for the inauguration and caught a little interaction with the prez and Beyonce. (Fast forward to about 6:40 in unless you want to bask in John Legend’s adorableness.)
And if you need a little help flipping your hand the way our Commander in Chief does, then Entertainment Weekly has a Single Ladies primer.
Seriously, Single Ladies is the gift that keeps on giving. Am I right?
In other late-breaking inaugural news from KG, the Smithsonian wants Aretha’s hat because, duh, it’s a national treasure. What does the Queen of Soul have to say about it? “I am considering it. It would be hard to part with my chapeau since it was such a crowning moment in history.”
We’re sure she means Obama’s inauguration.
I just like that she calls it a chapeau. She’s such a class act.
Hell – if I was that woman I would sell that hat for Charidee! Or give it to me because I think a big ole pregnant woman in that hat would be hilarious!
when I hear that song, my hand just starts to move. At work, I will sit at my desk and hum “uh oh oh oh oh uh oh.” Makes everything instantly better.
That hat needs to be in the museum. It was that fierce.
Em: I had the same reaction. Chapeau is a word that needs to be reintroduced to our society.
I’m not sure if just anyone could get away with calling it a chapeau. Aretha can, for sure, but I may want to punch anyone else who calls it that.
I’d like to believe that this is not the last Single Ladies/Barack post we will have. I have hope.
