She remembered how on Sundays Obama would lounge around, drinking coffee and solving the New York Times crossword puzzle, bare-chested, wearing a blue and white sarong. His bedroom was closest to the front door, offering a sense of privacy and coziness. Genevieve described it in her journal this way: “I open the door, that Barack keeps closed, to his room, and enter into a warm, private space pervaded by a mixture of smells that so strongly speak of his presence, his liveliness, his habits—running sweat, Brut spray deodorant, smoking, eating raisins, sleeping, breathing.”
Shirtless, blue and white sarong, and Brut. This has been your Obama Vanity Fair nooner update. [ VanityFair ]
The original and still the greatest thuggeery.
I think Genevieve'll be OK, because of this:
<blockquote>Early in Barack&rsquo;s relationship with Genevieve, he had told her about &ldquo;his adolescent image of the perfect ideal woman&rdquo; and how he had searched for her &ldquo;at the expense of hooking up with available girls.&rdquo; Who was this ideal woman? Genevieve conjured her in her mind, and it was someone other than herself. She wrote, &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t help thinking that what he would really want, be powerfully drawn to, was a woman, very strong, very upright, a fighter, a laugher, well-&shy;experienced&mdash;a black woman I keep seeing her as.&rdquo;</blockquote>
Clearly, an insightful woman.
