On election night, the First Lady elect wore these $11,000 diamond encrusted earrings by Loree Rodkin to accessorize her red and black Narciso Rodriquez dress – that’s diamond encrusted, triple dangle, white gold, with pear, oval, and marquee shapes. I would mention poor ole Auntie Zeit in the Boston housing project, but that wouldn’t be nice. I’m sure dress and earrings will be auctioned, with the money going to one of the Obama’s many charities. Uh-huh.

One thing about it, Ms. Loree has another notch in her belt. In September ’08, she already claimed celebrity clients such as Cher, her friend of 30 years, Elizabeth Taylor, Rihanna, Madonna, Mary J. Blige, and Elton John. She is a native of Chicago, now based in L.A. Loree Rodkin profile: http://www.loreerodkin.com/profile.html
