Pics of Tony Plana At Inaugural Gala
January 20, 2009 by Tom
Today is an historic day in the United States. It would be if it were any presidential inauguration (sometimes we overlook how miraculous it is to have a peaceful transfer of power every 4 or 8 years). Of course, history looms extra-large over this inauguration with the swearing in of America’s first African American persident.
I’ve been wondering if any Ugly Betty stars made it down to Washington DC for the festivities, and what do you know? The first one I find is Tony Plana, who attended Sunday’s Voto Latino Inaugural Party.
Remember all the “get out the vote” work Plana did last spring and summer? Those telenovelas were a hoot. Other notables at the gala were Marc Antony, Rosario Dawson, and Wilmer Valderrama.
Anyway, it’s good to see Plana looking all dapper. I think he wears formal very well.
I’m looking out for Ugly Betty stars who might be in Washington (word is Vanessa Williams, the first African American Miss America, made it down with ex-hubby Rick Fox, but I’m working on confirming that and getting some pictures).
Stay tuned…
Just to remind any of you who might be new to UBN, we don’t really do politics here; there are a gazillion other places for those discussions. But I really believe today’s event transcends politics, so let’s keep things at that level.
Besides, it’s much more fun to discuss what everybody’s wearing. 
That’ll tide us over till this Thursday’s episode of Ugly Betty.
Ignacio don’t die!!! (fangirl moment)
Oh well, it really doesn’t surprise me that Tony Plana went there. His presence is frequent in such events. Always promoting his heritage, even in politics.
About Williams attending, I would love to see pictures of her. She always looks gorgeous.
It doesn’t surprise me either.
Just letting you know, Judith was at the The Huffington Post Pre-Inaugural Ball last night.
