Barack Bric-a- Brac

Americans are pouring into Washington D.C. to watch the swearing in of Barack Obama today. And those who couldn't be there are glued to their television sets ... apparently desperately searching for that perfect product to commemorate the occasion.

Here are Queen Bea's picks for most ... ummm ... interesting home shopping Obama trinkets:


Yes you can(!) stay warm with this Commemorative Barack Obama "Hope & Change" Throw Blanket from ShopNBC. Only $47 + $6.99 S&H.




You will have time for change with this Barack Obama Crystal Image Dial 6-3/4" Bracelet Watch from HSN for only $49.95 + $6.20 S&H.




Now brace yourself for the home shopping coup de grace ... nothing more fully epitomizes the change that you can believe in more than this Spider-Man Comic Book Featuring Barack Obama from QVC for only $35.00 + $3.97 S&H.



And don't forget to check out Leah Williams at an Inaugural Ball this evening selling this amazing, amazing, amazing comic book.

Cinderella for a Night

Looks like Leah isn't the only Cinderella who's going to the ball ... Click here to watch the Extra video about how to win an free trip to an inaugural ball and a total makeover courtesy of Marc Bouwer and the Q. Patti Reilly looks fab too! Go Patti!

Here's all the info:

Starting Monday, you can be a part of history! QVC is sending an "Extra" Friend and guest to party, in high style!

We're giving away an all-expense paid trip to the Creative Coalition Inaugural Ball... and that's not all; we're going to make sure you're ready for this red carpet event by giving you... a head-to-toe makeover! You'll even get to wear a Mark Bower couture gown!

Watch "Extra" Monday, January 12 for more details!

(Notice that they totally misspelled Marc's name? Hah!)

Yes They Can!

On the night of January 20th, QVC will be celebrating the swearing in of our country's next president the only way they know how--by selling lots of useless "collectible" merchandise.

Host Leah Williams will broadcast from the Creative Coalition's inaugural ball in a fancy-schmancy inaugural gown (take that Lisa Robertson selling Swarovski crystal Diamonique stuff in a ballgown in Vienna!)

In between hawking commemorative coins, stamps, a simulated pearl necklace, and even a purse, QVC will broadcast parts of the parade and talk to random spectators on the street.

There is just nothing more American than this.

Baby Bump???

Is it just me or is Connie Craig-Carroll looking like she has a bit of a "glow" lately? Check out the video of her here form a few days ago here--is it just the babydoll top or is there a baby bump?

I'm the last one that should speculate on baby bumps since I look a good five months pregnant on any given day, especially after a eating at the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet!

And while I'm on the subject, can we all agree to stop with the Leah Williams speculation???

Oh, and Connie ... it's almost Football Tiiiiiiiiiiiime in Tennessee!!! Go Vols! :-)
