I&#8217;m a little late in my mention of Carmen Miranda&#8217;s 100th birthday.  Her birthday was Monday, February 9th.  While I&#8217;ve had my ups and downswith her legacy, there is one thing you can&#8217;t deny- she was quite an interesting person, one that we, as Brazilians have learned to appreciate.  There is so much to say [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=xicabahia.wordpress.com&blog=2132764&post=552&subd=xicabahia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

President Obama&#8217;s Inaugural Address
There were some great moments today throughout the Presidential Inauguration Celebration.  Like when Malia and Sasha walked out.  How beautiful are these kids?!  And Michelle looked AMAZING in her yellow outfit by Isabel Toledo. Yellow is a power color.  It&#8217;s strong without being pretentious. Look for it this Spring and Summer.  It will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=xicabahia.wordpress.com&blog=2132764&post=537&subd=xicabahia&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
