NEW YORK — She declared her love, took off most of her clothes, and fought in Barack Obama’s corner in an Internet video sensation. Now Obama Girl wants a little loving back.

“Maybe if I could get invited to the inauguration?” giggled Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as the foxy Obama Girl whose “I got a crush on Obama” song scored more than 10 million YouTube hits.

(Editor’s note: Here’s the famous video still getting more hits on YouTube:)

Ettinger, speaking to AFP at a victory party for the Democratic candidate in a New York restaurant, said she’d at least like to hear whether the president-elect enjoyed the song.

“I’d like a note from him some day saying he thanks Obama Girl.”

Ettinger, 26, came dressed as herself, with a diamond stud in her right nostril and a short but elegant dress, rather than the tiny shorts and bared midriff of her Obama Girl days.

Publicity agent Kelly Brady said “I got a crush on Obama,” which contrasted hilariously wonky lyrics with Ettinger’s more raw appeal, was not just a joke.

“Sex sells, and she was the sexy part of the election. That helped draw in the younger crowd. They asked: ‘What’s that hot girl saying about Obama?’”

Ettinger says politics did not interest her much until Obama’s campaign against Republican John McCain. Now she’s ready for anything.

“I’ve got my Super Obama Girl outfit in the back of the car!”

Yup, more women in Britain want it bigger, according to this Agence France-Presse report. Considering the improvements in the procedures (i.e. less scars), more women and not just celebrities, are turning to so-called “aesthetic plastic” surgeons for help:

Excerpt:

LONDON — Nearly three times as many women in Britain are having breast enlargement operations compared to five years ago, a study out Thursday showed.

Britain’s biggest-ever look at breast augmentation surgery found that members of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) carried out 6,497 breast enlargements in 2007 compared to 2,361 in 2002.

BAAPS secretary Rajiv Grover, a plastic surgeon in London, collated the information and studied the data, which was presented at the association’s annual conference in Chester, northwest England.
