Lao American to decorate White House

A bit vague on details, but intriguing news came up from Architectural Digest that the White House will be decorated by a Lao American, Tham Kannalikham. "The Laotian-American Thammanoune Si Kannalikham, 40, grew up Stockton, California, and studied for a couple of years at the Fashion Institute of Technology." You can visit her website at http://thamkannalikham.com although it's exclusively for her clients. Understandably, reaction has been somewhat mixed to this distinction.
