I’m still getting feedback from the Desiree Rogers story and most people — except those who have been commenting on the Post website — seem to think it was tough but fair. I have been invited to the press holiday party at the White House next week, which I think is evidence that the [...]
Since the President’s Weekly was released on Thanksgiving, I thought I’d give the space to one of my favorite photo journalists, Bill Cunningham and his “On the Street” column covering NYC’s street fashion scene during the Thanksgiving week. Granted Bill’s coverage is a lot less humble or sober, but we have plenty of time [...]
Apparently officials in France and Italy have decided the Burqini reveals too little and have banned women from wearing them to public pools and beaches.
Thanks to an Australian sportswear company named Ahiida, Muslim women can be modestly attired while fearlessly active in the water and on dry land. Ruqaya Al Ghasara, a [...]
ANOTHER BIRTHDAY, ANOTHER BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Today is President Barack Obama’s 48th Birthday. Which birth certificate do you have? Apparently a merry band of predominantly conservative skeptics have been the darlings of the news media for their efforts in time travel to switch the President’s place of birth from Hawaii to Kenya. Their mission…to [...]
Correction: June 21 is Father’s Day! . Earlier, I posted June 14 - But I still dig the video.
The holiday was started in Spokane, Washington, June 19, 1910. Sonora Smart wanted to celebrate the single parent who was her father after hearing a Mother’s Day sermon in chruch. William Jackson Smart [...]
Anna Wintour’s 60 Minutes interview - I guess the most revealing moment of this one-on-one with the 59-year-old editor of American Vogue is that she removed her signature shades to talk with Morley Safer. I see Wintour’s “decisiveness” as her strength in the fashion industry; others may hate her for it. But there [...]
I love Bill Cunningham’s “On the Street” fashion columns in the Sunday New York Times. For the slides shows on-line, Bill’s raspy voice makes you think he’s reporting from the scene of a crime.
Bill gets around. Having recently turned 80, he pedals his bicycle around the big city streets collecting [...]
I like totally spaced out on Fashion Week (Fall 2009 collections) which wrapped up in NYC yesterday.
On the topic of “fashion,” I tend to defer to Robin Givhan on this blog. Like me, Robin knows fashion is more than just expensive clothes. And we don’t obsess over Anna Wintour’s sunglasses.
In [...]
I was about to fire off a “misidentified Black person” email to the Washington Post today (if Undercover Blackman didn’t beat me to it), over Robin Givhan’s story about the Glamour [Magazine] Women of the Year awards which were held in New York this past week. [btw - the Glamour awards throw substance ahead [...]
As someone who doesn’t enjoy shopping but gets a kick out of watching the world strut down the catwalk, I just had to share this “The Daily Show” video. Afterall, it’s fashion!
But like all fashion makeovers we must have the BEFORE:
In the narrow confines of political style, the accepted rule is to [...]
