Obama Girl and any wannabes - welcome to the DNC in Denver from August 24th - 28th!

Everything But Water

3000 E 1st Avenue B128, Denver, CO 80206

It will be hot in Denver during August so swim wear is acceptable attire for a political convention. Not only will it lighten up a stuffy meeting but it reduces the need for air conditioning. For the best selection in town, head to the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

Walgreen Drug Stores

801 16th St, Denver, CO 80202

Load up on makeup and snacks. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and stock up on Ibuprofen to combat the Denver’s mile high altitude.

The Curtis

1405 Curtis Street, Denver, CO 80202

This fun and hip hotel is located within walking distance of the convention. Try to book a room on the “Big Hair Floor” for extra fun.

Pepsi Center

1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204

Ooopss…I forgot “Obama Girl” is hear to cover the political convention. So make sure you know where the convention is and you have your security badge in a handy place.

Getting the "Obama Girl" Look

Well if you want to hang with the Girl and be a groupie, you need to get the look. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your wardrobe.

The Shirt. You need a t-shirt that is at least two sizes too small. If you have a young child at home, you can borrow one of theirs.
Endowment. If you are not well endowed, then consider using a very padded bra. Rumor has it that Obama Girl is 54 Double “D”...so maybe plastic surgery is the way to go?
The Message. The t-shirt needs a political slogans or picture on it. You can use “I have a Crush on Obama” but one of my favorites is “Getting down with Obama”. Check out Pro-World for a huge list of Obama transfers and iron-ons.
Bottoms Up. Need to wear tight shorts or boy shorts. If you have a butt, then feel free to put a iron transfers here as well for more impact on your political statement.
The Hair. Big, long hair always seems to have the most impact. If you have some gray hairs showing, make sure you dye it or wear a wig.
Code Name. “Obama Girls” real name is Amber Lee Ettinger (certainly sounds like a pin-up name) so you need to come up with something cute for your nickname and your pseudo-real name. An example, “Obama Girl Wanna Be” also known in real life as Barbie Hotlitz.
Educate yourself. For getting the most up-to-date news, try Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” or NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”. Just make sure you are not watching a rerun…President Bush Sr and Bill Clinton are no longer president.
