Rogers and Heart

I can't say for sure, but somehow I think First Lady Michelle Obama may have had something to do with this.

Desiree Rogers announced last week she'll step down from her post as White House Social Secretary. The designer dud-donning Ms. Rogers (pictured here in Comme des Garçons at the Nov. 24, 2009, State Dinner) made Mrs. Obama, in her J.Crew and Jason Wu, look like a fashion lightweight when it came to dressing.

I mean sure, Rogers suspended all etiquette and protocol to seat herself as a guest at the aforementioned state dinner, when she should have been manning the door against fame-seeking gatecrashers. And yes, she loved her Vogue spreads, but she was fabulous! [Laughs.]

Here's hoping her return to the private sector includes all the step-and-repeats she can accommodate.
