Single in L.A.

This morning I was driving to work and for like an hour (the time it takes me to get here) Ryan Seacrest kept mixing in “What A Man” by En Vogue. And it hit me: I haven’t been joining in he hubbub of postings regarding our new President.

There’s two reasons. One, this is a niche blog - tales of the life of a single girl living and working in LaLaLand. I love President Obama and everything but, he doesn’t factor into my (non) dating life very much. Reason number two is that I don’t discuss EVERYTHING here. Religion, politics and money = taboo topics (for me).

But when I heard Ryan playing that song (repeatedly) I thought “what the hell does this have to do with his topic?” At the same time I thought of how Barack Obama plays into my blog.

I’m really impressed by he an Michelle’s relationship. They are a very HAUTE and chic couple.

Not only that, but they exude both love and respect for one another. I’d say that’s rare these days.

Though I’m single, I don’t always want to be. I think of what I want in a mate and couples that have a little bit of what me and the future Mr. Haute will have. Most of my “love idols” have something in common – that je ne sais qua. Barack and Michelle Obama definitely have it!

I felt that surging through Mr. and Mrs. President during Beyonce’s performance of “At Last” during the Neighborhood Ball. If you missed it….

That type of love is encouraging.  For me, the Obamas are the epitome of a modern day power couple - they only type of couple I can be a part of.  Perhaps I’ll meet my own “Barack” and he’ll have me singing “What a Man.” One day…
