Have a great weekend.

While I was a little whipper snapper at HU (Howard University for those who don’t know), I loved the BRAND NEW HEAVIES.  They were turning out a brand of funk/neo-soul before it hit the masses.  Never Stop, Brother Sister and several of there other songs were very inspirational to me.  Then, the band went through a number of lead singers and my attention was everywherelse musically.  The coolest thing is that they are back and they look and sound great.  The lead singer from 1990-95 and back since ‘05, is N’Dea Davenport (I wonder if that’s pronounced like India).  Some of you are very lucky b/c they are dropping a new double cd on October 20th and they are touring!!! They will be hitting up NY, Chi-Town, Philly, Boston, and Alexandria VA (DC).  They will also be touring the UK after the US tour.  Do visit: www.thebrandnewheavies.net.  Check the flyer above for dates, venues and tickets.  Enjoy!!!!

Hey guys and gals!  Hope your Tuesday is going swimmingly.  I’m feeling a bit mischievious at the moment.  But, I’m quite certain that I will settle down today!  As I mentioned before I’m checking out London’s Fashion Week.  It surprised me how many designer names that I don’t know.  But, it’s cool, because I always figure out who’s who and what’s what.  All I can say is that the clothes, designers, and the like are quite edgy.  A lot that they have done, would never fly in NY, or at least it hasn’t yet.  One knit designer, Mark Fast, wanted to prove that girls with a little junk in their trunk can sport his knitwear.  Several of the models were a US size of 8-10 (they think this is huge).  Two of his top assistants walked out 2 days before the show for “creative differences (supposedly the bigger  models were beautiful but could not walk).”  And as far as diversity on the runways go: NEXT.  There were very few models of color (ie African-American).  I mean so few, that I can name them all on one hand (which I found just deplorable) and Milan was worse.  Anywho, check out a few looks.  Check out the edginess (the last pic is over the top)!  Enjoy! Happy Shopping!
