Your Turn: Michelle – Carla

Well, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t pay my respects to this much anticipated photo op. But then, good luck picking out the most expressive shot. The image above seemed a nice mix of character (Michelle keeping in real) and context, the two women posing during the national anthem. Fashionistas, be my guest.

On the other hand, though, there was also this, this, (but not this), and certainly I appreciate the breeziness of this, and, for sure, the cleverness of this.
