Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination today! He is the first black candidate to lead a major party into a campaign for the White House.

 Congratulations OBAMA!

 Clinton is now showing interest in joining Obama as his running mate. Now that would be an interesting combination!

Thicksational lady Queen Latifah signed a global licensing agreement with Parlux Fragrances to launch her own fragrance.

The fragrance will debut in the fall of 2009 in the U.S.

Queen Latifah: “For me, beauty really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. So I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love: scent expresses a woman’s confidence and sensuality; it’s how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength.” [Source]

Parlux Fragrances, Inc. is the same company that released the Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, GUESS?, and Nicole Miller fragrances.

I can’t wait to try her perfume!

Also the queen was spotted on the beach in Miami yesterday.

Of course there are always haters trying to knock the Queen because she is comfortable with her size.

The Queen doesn’t have a weight problem. YOU have a problem with her weight!

Work it Queen! Next time wear a two piece and really give them something to talk about!
