So my initial idea was to do research on the hot new item for fall: "skinny" jeans or "jeggings" as they are sometimes referred to; then I started to see them up close and personal on everyone. I'm not kidding! No matter their shape or size, skinny jeans look horrid. As I was perusing through the jean's section, ever hopeful that I would find my size and a nice comfy boot cut fit, I was inundated with SKINNY jeans...in every size. Literally, there was a brand that carried a size 17 in skintight super skinny jeans and it is sad because regardless of your size, you want to be a part of the trend. Unfortunately, just because it fits doesn't mean that it looks good.

In early August, Wyclef Jean announced his intentions to run for President of Haiti, his country of birth and the country he has fought for and campaigned on behalf of throughout his career. Now, a few weeks later his campaign has been rejected by the Haitian Electoral Council, citing that although Jean was born in Haiti and didn't come to the United States until he was nine years old, he has not lived in Haiti for the last five years, which is one of the requirements to be president of the country. Having met Wyclef before this year and the whole campaign, talking to him about politics among other things, I think the country or the Provisional Electoral Council should reconsider its decision, if for no other reason then for the sake of rebuilding.
