Last night President Barack & Mrs O honored the National Governors Association at the White House by hosting their 1st black tie dinner, in the State Room, down on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Michelle chose a strapless star spangled gown, from Peter Soronen's F/W08 collection, accompanied by a multi-strand pearl & crystal necklace by Tom Binns, to wear.
From the White House For Immediate Press Release:
“The White House is the place where our bond as Americans is strengthened,” Desiree Rogers -- White House Social Secretary. “We look forward to welcoming the nation’s governors to celebrate our democratic ideals, our diversity, our shared values and the best of the American spirit.”
Mr. Barack & Mrs. Michelle Obama

Seems as though Michelle plans to open up the White House to the community on occasion starting with a group of culinary students from L’Academie de Cuisine. Six students, top of their class, attended the dinner menu briefing where each course was displayed on Woodrow Wilson State Service China, 1918.
