Now put your hands up!

Now put your hands up! Posted on February 3, 20097 Comments

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Em: I had the same reaction. Chapeau is a word that needs to be reintroduced to our society.

  4. 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.

  5. I’d like to believe that this is not the last Single Ladies/Barack post we will have. I have hope.
