HIP HOP ARTIST TYGA--LAST KINGS CLOTHING

Tyga has invested in branding his fashion trend worn over the last 3-4 years.  LAST KINGS  was inspired by blending the culture of music and fashion.  His many travels and years of interest of rich history combined with friend influence of the Muslim culture, uniquely he designed a royal line of tee shirts, hoodies, outerwear, accessories and head gear.  Impressive enough, he didn't realize by the wearing of samples alone, that a movement had started---through the fans.  As he performed, the crowd was dripped in Egyptian motifs, and cheetah print hats and tees.  Wondering himself where in the heck did they get this from (lol), he had to get on the for front of his branding---thus LAST KINGS was born.

I think the line is very impressive.  It has a rich, urban feel with an affordable price point.  Congrats!

Naomi Campbell unimpressed Kayne and Kim Vouge cover

I am a huge Naomi Campbell fan. She's actually on my vision board for countless reasons of inspiration. I understand her sentiments as a fashion model and a woman of African American decent and the challenges AA models have in the fashion industry.  However, I totally get why Anna W. would take a unique spin and allow Kanye & Kim to grace the cover of Vogue.

True, they are not fashion icon's-but I think of Kim K as a fashionista-by design.  and Kanye W. as a established musician and inspiring designer.   We have seen many women grace the cover of Vogue who are not models--Beyonce, Rihanna (In recent news honored as fashion icon), and Jennifer Hudson.
Rihanna honored with CFDA Fashion Icon Award

1. Why are we protesting against Kim K & Kanye?  Do you think that Kim only got the cover because of Kanye? Kanye is a music icon!  Kim is personality icon!  Both are fashion forward and impressionable. I honestly feel people are bias when it comes to Kim K. Reality is she works extremely hard, she has been reported to be extremely professional at all times and if you could actually become a mega star over a stupid thing you did when you were young, I'm probably sure you wouldn't complain.  So, please lets at least read the article and get past of who doesn't deserve to be on the cover.

Besides, we know who the actual models really are!  Right?

This Is Art is the name of the new gallery space located at Thomas Starr King Middle School.  T.S King focuses on Arts & Technology, Film/Cinema, and Environmental Studies-just to name a few.  The Curators Club did a magnificent job of naming this first exhibition as well as the gallery itself-THIS IS ART.

March 12, 2014 opening exhibit was a enriched experience filled with expression, provoking idea, and intriguing art work displayed by the students at T.S. King.  As the art work graced the wall, red dots made it evident the attendees were serious and believed in the visual dream of these young artist.  We had the opportunity to speak with some of the talented artist in addition to capturing their creations.  Pen and Ink drawings is one the most visually varied art practices, used in many different types of art ranging from calligraphy, tattooing, sketch art, and formal drawings.  Largely used in illustrations, this artwork reflected strong contrast and tone.

Jennifer Williams--Happy at The Grove!

Pumped into Jennifer at The Grove.  I must be honest, I was a  little hesitant about approaching Jennifer--but honestly she was one of my favorites from Basketball Wives.

Very nice and beautiful in person.
