Mass. Trying to Conquer Fashion World

Could the Bay State be turning into a mecca for people focused on fashion? Probably not. However, Massachusetts is getting some fashion buzz this week.

The Herald reported today that Michelle Obama shops at Hingham-based Talbots. She wore three Talbots dresses at three recent official events. This has caused quite a bit of interest in the specific items Obama wore. Image the chaos that would unfold in the 02043 if people couldn't get the Obamapparel. That may be why the Hingham Police recently purchased a small arsenal of M4 semiautomatic rifles. Bostonist already knew the Obama family was quite fond of Massachusetts because the Prez, Michelle, the kids, and maybe even the dog, are planning to vacation on Martha's Vineyard later this month.

In other fashion news, Harvard University is launching a fashion line, and its not just hats and sweats co-eds are wearing. Good luck to them. It my help them replenish their battered endowment. The only drawback is it caught the attention of Perez Hilton. Must not be any beauty pageant contestants around this week.
