Barack Obama has been elevated to Gandhi like royal presence by Madonna on her “Sticky and Sweet Tour“. Love it or hate it, her inspired sexually charged power has brought this controversy all the way to Milan and on to Buckingham Palace. At a meeting with Miuccia Prada some months back, Madonna stirred up a newsworthy Obama line for the fall collection. Launched at the Milan Fashion Week on Tuesday this line has exploded into fashion. While the First Lady has been the knockout trademark of the White House on fashion since years back, president Obama now has the magic.
The Obamas had their first meeting with the Queen on Wednesday. President Obama was puzzled by the Queen’s scarf - a Prada-Obama first from Milan Fashion Week. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of $2,500, this one off royal-watchers said it was especially brought from Miuccia Prada’s Milan show for the Queen for her meeting with the president. A tad self-conscious Obama signed her scarf when asked over the exchange of gifts. Madonna is not by her self in voting for president Obama.
