Grand style

Full-figured women deserve more fun in the undergarment department, and a new line of bras is here to help.

Elomi bras run from 34DD to 54H, with some styles topping out in I and J cups.

This underwire wonder comes in a firm, sheer mesh, with embroidery, scalloped trim and a non-stretch center. Straps are adjustable and close-set for comfortable non-slippage. Closure has three columns and two row hooks. $60 at BareNecessities.com or 877-728-9272.

Political gems

Hillary Clinton's necklace of choice these days is a three-strand piece with semi-precious stones set in 18-karat gold, something she reportedly purchased herself. It's the work of Italian designer Marco Bicego and costs $3,390 at Saks Bal Harbour.

Michelle Obama, meanwhile, is oft spotted wearing a strand of heavy, 16mm ''pearls,'' actually baubles by Carolee Pearls. Get them yourself for $50, at Carolee.com.

Sweet treats

Baskin-Robbins has just released two ''presidential'' flavors: Straight Talk Crunch (for John McCain), with caramel, red candy and mixed nuts in white chocolate ice cream, and Whirl of Change (for Barack Obama), with chocolate-covered peanut brittle and caramel in peanut-nougat ice cream.

The ice cream chain founded in 1945 has been usurped over the decades by gourmet competitors.

But past Baskin-Robbins flavors are a sweet tour through history: Baseball Nut of 1958 commemorated the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles from Brooklyn; Beatle Nut in 1964 celebrated Beatlemania; Lunar Cheesecake in 1969 commemorated the first landing on the moon; and Gorba Chocolate in 1990 marked the fall of Communism.
