Skull Series: Earrings With Table Manners!!
Skull Series, will be a series of posts that highlight very fashionable items (not only apparel and accessories) that have skulls on or related to them, etc. If you feel a little iffy about wearing skulls, do not fret, a skull image can only take on a meaning that you allow it to have. If you need a reason, Halloween is approaching, when skulls are often flaunted. Also, in this case it's more art than goth, so please do not feel pressured to alter your beliefs.
Alexander McQueen is known for his creative, artistic, innovative, semi-risky designs. But I have not seen a designer as successful as him, at having people accept eccentric design. I present Fork and Spoon Drop Earrings, in solid brass and dark silver.
Price - $295. The design work put into these is very intricate. Don't you agree?
Check out the logos.
I must warn you, I would not try to eat with these beautifully designed earrings, they are for viewing and wearing purposes only!

A Poncho With Edge!!
This Topshop poncho, knocks a major punch in my fashion eye. I think that the silhouette on it, is much more favorable on a woman, than the "tent" style ponchos of previous years and the buttons also give it a higher level of sophistication. Price - $90 at Topshop.com. What do you think?
Uptown Girls will match this with a pair of riding boots from the Ralph Lauren Collection or other similar places.
Downtown Girls will go for the ankle boots or booties from Aldo, Nine West or other similar stores.

Patricia Field Calls It A Onesie, Hmmmm....
Earlier this week I made a post educating gentlemen on - what a bodysuit is and requesting that they do not call them, onesies, lol. Link here. Since then, I have discovered that Patricia Field, faithfully calls these one pieces, onesies. As seen here on her site.
Do you know who Patricia Field is? Briefly, she is the uber popular, great and talented stylist of the Sex And The City (sitcom and movie), The Devil Wears Prada (movie) and Ugly Betty (sitcom). Google her, for more information.
Does that change my mind about the terminology? No. Patricia Field gets a pass, because she is not calling, this piece of fashion, a onesie out of ignorance, there is probably a creative reason behind it. I believe that a tricked out bodysuit called a "onesie" is a lot more marketable, than calling it a bodysuit.
But my opinion still stands, guys when referencing this piece, I would love to hear, bodysuit, fall from your lips. Ciao!

Culture & Class Event at Cloud 9 ToNight!! Something New and Something True!
Click the flyer or this link (facebook readers) to enlarge the image for complete details.I am hoping that this event tonight at Cloud 9 ends up being "something new" and "something true". My idea of poets/poetesses, a live band, hip hop artists, a fashion show and after party with one of the best deejays in the city sounds pretty DOPE to me.
Remember, Love Jones, and Lorenz Tates rendition of Brotha to the Night? See the video below.
VIBE Love Jones Clip "Brotha to the Night"

VENUE
And most of you already are familiar with Cloud 9. How often does it lend it's nice, large, exotic atmosphere to an event such as this? Uh-NEVER! LOL! A lovely reason to attend an experience what it can offer to a more cultured event.
Link to C9
PERFORMERS
Rhymefest - Grammy Award Winner alongside Kanye West for Jesus Walks
Malik Yusef - Former band mate of the Roots and hopefully you know how they get down
Brittany Street - I hear she is devastating on the mic
Taquisha Moneque - I heard this young lady at the Wes Montgomery Community Event and her words and storytelling had MANY snapping in the park.
Fighting Words - Has a way of mixing the backsounds of harmonies in with the poetry, that takes you to the place of a live performance done by Erykah Badu or Jill Scott.
An'nem - The nicest band that I have heard in a long time.
Alpha.live - Does his thing, he is thought provoking and entertaining.
Trillogy with Tweez - Has been in the game awhile and would love to take us to the "Top of the World" with their slick lyrics and top notch beats and production.
Allen Imagery - Is very fluent in his hosting and keeping a tempo
DJ Limelight - Mixes the best tunes to mesmerize crowds from rumpshaking party kids to established professionals.
This event is hosting itself to a lot of firsts and if we would like to see more events like this in our city, I think we should all go out and support it and give ourselves a chance to experience "something new" and "something true"! I know that I am!!
Bodysuits: Fashion Lesson For The Guys!!
I must put an end to guys using the term "onesie"! LOL! The fabulous one piece items that have been seen on the backs and bodies of Beyonce, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, should NEVER, EVER be referenced as a "onesie" again! Onesie's are for babies and they are made by Carter and Gerber! The grown woman version is called a bodysuit, one-piece, romper (if it has shorts) or leotard (if you are old school). Guys, come on now, get it together and by the way, visit the American Apparel site...often, and you will understand that there is a difference between the two. CIAO!!
