"We love fashion, but it's going so fast. We wanted to say 'No' this
season." says the dynamic duo.


VIKTOR AND ROLF.

PERHAPS IM BUGGING BUT SOMETHING FEELS VERY 18th CENTURY FRENCH RELIGIOUS ABOUT THIS LOOK. IT'S SLIGHTLY SCARING ME.

MADE ME LOOK.

RECENTLY SAW THIS ON A.T.W.G. BLOG, BUT STUMBLED UPON THE MADE ME SITE IN THE LAST FEWS DAYS. BROWSING AROUND ON TRADE SHOWS AND VARIOUS FASHION WEBSITES I CAME ACROSS THIS BRAND. LOVE THE WEBSITE MADEME, ITS SO BRIGHT AND FUN!

NICOLE BELL IN ROCAWEAR'S "I WILL NOT LOSE" CAMPAIGN

I stumbled upon this ad campaign for Rocawear, in this months issue of Essence Magazine. I was completely elated at the site of Nicole Bell and her children.

More than anything, this ad spoke very clearly without words, of the injustice of the murder of Sean Bell and its repercussions. Just because the news isn't actively covering the trial and investigation doesn't mean that you and I, should forget about what happened to this family.

It is easy to forget. We all have lives, and things that take up our time, whether they be the physical acts of reaching goals, i.e. 'the grind,' or the mental acts of progression, i.e. 'the dreams and ambitions.' From me to you, this is a reminder to not forget Sean Bell, or his family.

It was a great move on the part of Rocawear, as a company to do this campaign. Not only from the money that Nicole Bell will definitely be receiving for it, but more because of the awareness that it blatantly suggests; to not lose and to not forget, and to not let and injustice go unseen, unheard, and unpunished.

I LUST FOR THOSE GOOD OLE' DAYS...

I must tell you I really miss those days of snow in New York, so when it snowed recently I was actually pretty excited about it. When is the last time there was enough snow to have a snow ball fight? It's been years, which just goes to show that global warming is a bitch.

Remember having snow days in grade school, when it was totally cool to stay home because there was too much snow outside. Making snow angels, and just playing around is virtually nonexistent.

The Puma Clyde's withstood the snow falling.

Tracks.



L.E.S.

Harlem.

Jackie Robinson Park (145th)

Home Sweet Home.


This is actually what 145th Street looks like today. No more Willie's and almost no more burnt out buildings.

CITY SITES.

I've wanted to post this for about a week now. I knew I would eventually see it again. As a tribute to Black History Month, Macy's has decorated there women's wear window with Josephine Baker. All of the windows are adorned with artwork about her life. The dances, and costumes, and the clothes reflect the window displays.


Take a look, and I commend Macy's on this. It's really well done, and has a very artistic feel to it, which is dope.
