Fur trappers. Vintage rings. Dramatic blazers. Attitude. Swagger. Open a dictionary. What's the definition for original visionary? Clarence got a call from the present and put it on hold to continue his conversation with the future. Essence. I do it and all the lovers hate it; Tell yourself you're an exclusive entity and the cream of the crop will embrace it. When? Now! My friends at Swagger New York are looking for you #tastemakers to show Paris what style really is. Here's an opportunity: Swagger New York x Ghubar Magazine = Street-Style Contest. Will you be in it?...
This is what I live for: Curators and Earth shakers. There are no limits once you realize that it always feels right to be fear(less). Let these photos register. There will be more to come...
The phrase "Coup De Gras" translated in English means "blow of mercy" or death blow intended to end the suffering of a wounded being." In reference to this initiative , the term means just that. That wounded creature is a compilation of negative thoughts and acts taking place throughout our world. The Brick by Brick Foundation, in association with the NAACP and a variety of sponsors, one of which was BLIND SPECS, put on the first of many positive events to come. "Coup De Gras: Redemption Through Catastrophe" took place this past Friday, December 3rd, 2010 and was a huge success...
It was an abnormally normal night to be socializing with the cool kids of Milwaukee, Wisconsin - at Harbor House. Crab legs, lobster, valet parking, fancy shoes, red roses, and those pearls she had on. It became necessary for me to reconstruct the norm. CHECK IT - Parties are so boring now. They've all become so typical. Valentine's month is here.... Let's have the Valentine's day party! Oh, oh, Halloween's next week Friday.... COSTUME PARTY! OH! OH! You just got a promotion at work?! Woo! Woo! STAFF PARTY! Ew.
So, here's what Clarence did. (Sly smirk on my face) He created a new tradition called BECAUSE. Unexpected affairs for no apparent reason. Get dressed up with SOMEWHERE TO GO. Meet people that you don't know! You know you love the idea. It was always on your mind... someone just had to be the first to admit it... You're welcome
You don't even know what's going on... do you? These two gentleman have a world in their hands and they playing their cards right. A new sphinx is being built - can I be a pharaoh now? Our empire is growing children. And there's nothing but silver and gold coming our way...
Painting the perfect picture isn't always an easy thing to do. Give an on-looker one word/subject to play with and suddenly, they don't know what's up and what's down anymore. Capturing a moment is a skill and a strong type of art. It's not the camera in front of your eye, it's the eye behind the lenses. I love my camera. I have a SONY Nex-3 and it's my baby. However, I would never recommend it those that don't have a clue about how to capture a scene and customize their eye. Once you've found your true eye then you have the power to share your visions. Easy thoughts - There's a certain feel that one gets when they're approaching a light house... that doesn't mean that nautical colors are an obvious factor into that equation. It means that the lighting should have a personality and the lighthouse should be surrounded by the dominant features that create this abstract vibe that one usually gets when approaching. Sometimes it is necessary to scream in the darkest areas so that the brightest amateurs can finally hear you. So take the time to realize that you don't need that camera because that camera won't do anything for you unless you're eye already knows what it's doing - that wasn't a burn to someone's fire - it was just a little warning. #truth
The purpose of the event - to create an environment that promotes networking, culture, & art that embracing individual identity & serves as a method to showcase the talents of specially selected vendors.
In case you missed it, the heels were absolutely to die for. Stating their claim this past month, the freshman classes of Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, and Morehouse College set out to make a bold statement at this year's Spring Freshman Fashion Show. Entitled "Kiss My Heels," the fashion show took place in the Lower Manley facility of Spelman College and had a runway just long enough for each of the models to show up and strut down.
Right on the limit is where we all belonged on Thursday night. Pretty women. Taking photos. Being extra ordinary and overbearing in the non-basic department. Milwaukee. There are places and then there are PLACES. I certainly won't just settle for the lower cased of the two. I'm writing this as a confirmation for you. While it may seem like I walk around with this bowl cut and wait for the night to come everyday, you don't need to travel around the nation to feel the sting of this loving pinch on the cheek. Living is my skill and egos don't go far when placed in front of me...

Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down and the whole world loves it when you make that sound. And the whole world loves it when your in the news. Snap a mental clip & place it in the front file of your mind. Taking a walk with me turns your swag up 3 times your average percent, see! It'll be so easy because you'll do you and I'll do me as all the clowns pass us by in this circus called NYC. Saturday was spent with my home girl Arre - cinnamon turban, salmon nails, and a Jay-Z DIY shirt made by her - strolling down Spring St. giving you clues on how to look like poetry...
Sorry to bother you around the wee hours of your 9 to 5; let's address last Saturday night: Sian Pierre Regis didn't lie when he said the party will be wild and you'll only be able to bring a + 1. You all had me snapping photos of everything and anything everywhere and anywhere. Listen, I'm here for you. Let me be the historian. I runs (no I didn't mean to say run) into a lot of dinosaurs so I recently bought some new and shiny tools. To be an archeologist requires a lot of digging. Thankfully, I already shoveled before I stepped into the party...
There's this thing called respect. I could do nothing but live by the word. It always looks like people enjoy life on this site. Pretty things and diamond rings; it's not always about the glitz. Homie, I'm from Wisconsin but, all of my friends look like they grew up on the east coast. Let me invite you to the balcony to view the skyline in Soho. A Wisconsin reunion and you thought we'd only be about cheddah cheese...
Picture the scene; eight striving actors, two smoking hot brothers, one yummy mummy and a pretty lady called Tits (actually her name’s Laeticia but she’s got pretty toes). Coffee and soft drinks (sodas for my USA peeps) were flowing, the smell of Clay Ovenwafted through the air and a police man, egged on by the cheers of drunk onlookers, pushed a broken down van on Long Street (what?). It’s freezing cold outside but, the ladies are in their sexiest and shortest threads; coats are for sissies. Cape Town ain’t ready for us we’re going to party like the artist formerly known as Prince till the clock strikes twelve and the world ends. That was before the itis. . .
I wish I could give you a manual; the exact way to make a night turn into your oyster. Every classy lady loves a string of pearls, so give them to her. Flip through your photos from last night... is that Tina and Ike? Somehow, everything just seems to fall in line when you're down for the night...
