On the SHORT short
ME time: My apartment is somehow trapping cold air...it's always 10 degrees colder in here than in the outside world, so I tend to look like a bag lady when I venture outside. The look today is black halter tee (c'mon, gotta keep it sexy!!!) black hoodie, black jersey wrap skirt, grey athletic pants with a white stripe, black socks, toasty tiger print bedroom slippers and o'er all, a HUGE grey shawl. Hey... not bad by half!
1. I'd like to BIG UP my loyal readers (all three of them!) especially Commanderson and Melissa, who took the time to post some really nice comments... thanks, guys. Melissa pointed out that there's now a fierce new mag out for the sistahs, Suede (on newstands now with La Keys on the cover). It's definitely a fantastic mag, one where we black girls totally represent, but I still think that it would be nice for Granma I mean Grande Dame Wintour to show us some love.
2. Geoffrey Beene and Richard Avedon are dead. As a kid in the Caribbean in the '70s/'80s, I would obsessively note their credits on each fashion spread. When your icons begin dying, you really have to step up and acknowledge the passage of time. These were true giants in their fields- there's even a writer, Amy Fine Collins, who has only worn Beene, in tribute to GB's genius. And to keep it real, that ka ching you hear is the sound of her collection increasing in value.
Bon Voyage, Gentle Men.
3. Yo, weren't you like WAITING for something like the whole Vioxx mess to happen? I mean, take a serious listen to any pharmaceutical ad- the side effects they list are ridiculous- blood clots, stroke, diarrhea, etcetera. Maybe it's time we all acknowledged that homeopathic medicine is a more viable option in a bunch of cases. Where I come from, foul-tasting but effective herbal remedies are a given. I have fond nostalgia for my grandmother chasing me around the garden with a cup of shining bush tea....
