Hey y’all, how are you doing? Got your Halloween plans in line? What are you planning to be? Well, it’s also Midterm Election time. Meaning we are halfway through the years for the presidential election and are looking to vote for members of the House of Representatives, the Senate and even state governors.
You may not think that your vote will matter but it definitely will. Many of our problems with voting exist because people think that they cannot do anything to create change. If we all just go to the polls, we can (as Obama used to say) make a difference in. More than a 100 million people will cast ballots this year and as of recently, a record $3.8 billion has been spent on political advertisements. Elon Musk has given about half a billion dollars to support his Republican associates, according to campaign finance records.
Money is being spent because your vote matters. Check out Blue Voter Guide where you can register to vote, research candidates and even sign up to volunteer.
Go out and vote.
Sincerely,
“Fashionably-Late”

In 2009, Michelle Obama wore a lemongrass yellow Isabel Toledo shift dress for the day, and a gorgeous white off-the-shoulder chiffon gown by Jason Wu for the ball. WWD says that more than 20 designers have sent in dress sketches in hopes to be chosen to dress her for the momentous occasion.
