<br />
Joyce Bryant, "the Bronze Blond Bombshell," never achieved Eartha Kitt or Lena Horne popularity, but the supper club chanteuse is still fondly remembered. The four octave singer, aka the black Marilyn Monroe, "the Voice You'll Always Remember," and "the Belter," was born in Oakland, CA, but raised in San Francisco (the oldest of eight children).<br />
<br />
Her act was outrageously sexy; she wore provocative, tight, backless, cleavage-revealing mermaid dresses that left little to the imagination and they were so tight, she had to be carried off-stage. Supposedly, Bryant twisted so much she lost four pounds a performance. Bryant's hair was naturally black, but not wanting to be upstaged by Josephine Baker at a club, she doused it with silver radiator paint, slithered into a tight silver dress and voila: the Bronze Blond Bombshell and even Baker was impressed.<br />
<br />
The gimmick and Bryant's elastic voice elevated the singer to heavyweight status; she earned as much as $3500 dollars a gig and $150,000 dollars a year in the early 1950s. She was called one of the most beautiful black women in the world and regularly appeared in Black magazines such as Jet. And a Life magazine layout in 1953.<br />

<br />
Annie Mae Manigault graduated from the Renouard School of Embalming in New York City, and then began her fifty-year career by working with her parents (Annie Rivers and William Manigault) in the Manigault Funeral Home in Columbia, South Carolina. <br />
*************************************<br />
A little about her parents:<br />
<br />
In 1917, William and Annie Manigault helped found the Manigault-Gaten-Williams Funeral Home, in Columbia, SC. In 1923, the funeral home was renamed Manigault's Funeral Home. Both William and Annie were funeral directors and worked hard to serve families in need during a time when it was not easy for African American people to be in business.<br />
<br />
Annie and William also founded the Congaree Casket Company, which employed more blacks during that time than any other black-owned business in South Carolina.<br />
<br />
In the early 1950’s, William and Annie's daughter, Anna Mae, took over the family business, which she ran along with her son, Anthony.<br />
<br />
Today, the Manigault-Hurley Funeral Home is run by Anthony Manigault Hurley, Alice Wyche Hurley, Michelle Manigault Hurley Johnson, and Kelly Lynn Hurley.<br />

[b.1936 - d.2011]<br />
<br />
She made an indelible mark on African-American music as a singer, producer and record company owner. She sang on hit records from the 1950s to the 1970s, and then became known as "the mother of hip-hop" after she was among the first to recognise the potential of the nascent rap scene in the streets and clubs of New York.<br />

Despite the slapstick atmosphere there, the inhabitants of Moms' theatrical boarding house in Harlem are broke and in danger of losing their home. For some ready cash, they trick a producer into helping them put on a show, featuring a variety of black specialty acts.<br />
<br />
Directed by Josh Binney. With Moms Mabley, Dusty Fletcher, Marcellus Wilson, Marie Cooke.<br />
<br />
Because films like Boarding House Blues were aimed specifically at segregated inner-city black audiences ("race films"), they were often treated like disposable product by the studios, allowing them a surprising amount of leeway in terms of material. Drug jokes and sexual innuendos, which would surely have been censored in mainstream films in 1948, rub elbows with some truly bizarre novelty acts including a dancer with one arm and one leg and an acrobat dressed like a monkey.<br />

Charles W. Follis<br />
[b.1879 - d.1910]<br />
<br />
The first African American professional football player, Charles W. Follis, was born February 3, 1879, in Cloverdale, Virginia. The Follis family moved to Wooster, Ohio, where he attended Wooster High School and participated in organizing and establishing the first varsity football team. He played right halfback and served as team captain on a squad that had no losses that year.<br />
<br />
In 1901, Follis entered the College of Wooster. Rather than playing football for the college, he played for the town’s amateur football team – the Wooster Athletic Association, where he earned the nickname of the “Black Cyclone from Wooster.”<br />
<br />
In 1902, Frank C. Schieffer, manager of the Shelby Athletic Club secured employment for Follis at Howard Seltzer and Sons Hardware Store in rural Shelby, Ohio. The six-foot, 200-pound Follis played for Shelby in 1902 and 1903.<br />
<br />
In 1904, Follis signed a contract with the Shelby Athletic Club, later the Shelby Blues. With that contract, he became the first professional African American football player. Follis played on the team with Branch Rickey, the Ohio Wesleyan University student and future Brooklyn Dodger owner who would sign Jackie Robinson to integrate major league baseball in 1947.<br />
<br />
Like other players who integrated sport teams, Follis faced discrimination. Players on other team targeted Follis with rough play that resulted in injuries. At a game in Toledo in 1905, fans taunted him with racial slurs until the Toledo team captain addressed the crowd and asked them to stop. In Shelby, Follis joined his teammates at a local tavern after a game; the owner denied him entry. At the Thanksgiving Day game of the 1906 season, Follis suffered a career-ending injury.<br />
<br />
Follis turned to baseball, a sport he played for many years in the spring and summer. Having played for the Wooster College and in the Ohio Trolley League, Follis was an experienced baseball player, but could only play in segregated baseball leagues. He played for the Cuban Giants, a black baseball team, as a catcher.<br />
<br />
On April 5, 1910, at the age of 31, Follis died of pneumonia in Cleveland, after playing in a Cuban Giants game. He was buried in Wooster Cemetery in Wooster, Ohio.<br />

Guishem is a new designer to NYC Fashion Week. His Spring 2012 was a great success for a first time collection at Lincoln Center. He had gorgeous evening gowns with intricate seam lines, A-symmetrical tops, skirts, dresses, and pants. He showed a variety of pieces with unique prints, and great color combinations. I think his collection has a very edgy futuristic feel to it.<br />

This season I was able to attend the Adam Spring 2012 Fashion Show. Every year I fall more in love with Adams clothing. I think the collection was simple but with great detailing. The collection has wonderful prints with woven tops, jackets, skirts, and dresses. The outerwear which is my favorite, brings an edge to the collection. The colors give the pieces a soft feel with neutrals incorporated with pink prints and boldness with pops of red.LaDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05087938663112224854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879525287018099668.post-38082195955747132632011-09-18T14:45:00.000-07:002011-09-22T11:17:36.729-07:00Vivienne Tam<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_bqpm42XOvk/TnVnDnTwUQI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/_gxOq1KmvM0/s1600/DSC02509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" rba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_bqpm42XOvk/TnVnDnTwUQI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/_gxOq1KmvM0/s640/DSC02509.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div><br />

So I was able to attend Vivienne Tams Spring 2012 Fashion Show which was beautiful. Her collection showed a variety of bright floral prints, and color; with dresses, tops, tailored jackets, and cropped pants. The collection had a mixture of soft flowing fabrics also incorporated with structured pieces. Sequence and ostrich feathers were added details to bring out the classic silhouettes. I think this collection is classic and chic; and will be a great success for spring 2012. My favorite pieces are the printed jackets!!!<br />

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Sarah Stavrou. She is a talented and creative accessory designer. She creates Eco-friendly jewelry, pillows, and hand bags. Sarah starting out her career as a successful model/actress. She has been on the cover of Essence magazine, campaigns such as Avon, Revlon, and Vogue Patterns. She has also appeared White Men Can’t Jump, Roc, Strictly Business, and Playing God.<br />
<br />
February 2000 she started creating pillows as a hobby for family and friends. Her hobby soon began to grow into a business. She is constantly inspired by the 1920's, Victorian, and Renaissance era, she says "It's like buying a piece of history." Most of her accessories are created from vintage fabrics and materials. She has created pieces for Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Shriver, LaTanya and Samuel Jackson, Gina Gershon, Cookie and Magic Johnson, Brooke Burke, Keisha and Forest Whitaker, and many more. Sarah's pieces are one of a kind and each item is unique and cannot be found anywhere else. She has been featured in Vogue, InStyle, Manale, Pillows Magazine, FHM, Pillow Love, Art Walk LA, and Business Journal.<br />

So this past weekend on Saturday was the Bam Festival in Brooklyn, me and a few of my friends went out to enjoy the day and to do some shopping. The festival was a great turn out they had a variety of food, jewelry, clothing, and music. We had a great time. We later went out to a restaurant called <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1307052417_0">La traviata,</span> the food was delicious. I had stuffed clams with crab meat and salad. Afterwards we ended the night with drinks.LaDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05087938663112224854noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879525287018099668.post-6383981994057939882011-05-21T20:19:00.000-07:002011-05-21T20:19:38.768-07:00Doll House Magazine presents "Transitioning in Style" Fashion Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

LRG is menswear clothing and accessories brand. Founded in 1999 the brand has a streatwear yet trendy style. Artists Augor and Vizie showcased some of their creative artwork. Actor Albert Daniels (co. Starred in ATL) was a special guest. It was a great event held at a loft downtown in soho. Although I did not partake in all of the festivities of the holiday, there was a roof top deck where people were definitely "CELEBRATING" It turned out to be a great event.

I had the great opportunity to attend the Lifestyles + Charity Magazine Event. Lifestyle + Charity Magazine was founded by two sisters from New Jersey Elena Baxter and Rachael Lechliter. LC Mag is about bringing the arts and charity together. The event focused on up incoming designers, artists, and photographers. Kaye Rachelle Designs, Shana Pederson, Emerald Lydia, and Craig Pederson. Not only giving them an opportunity to showcase their talent, but at the same time giving back. 40% of the proceeds from the Life Preservers line was donated to the following non profits, RestoreNY, GEMS-Girls and Polaris Project.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Josephine Baker: Josephine Baker sashayed onto a Paris stage during the 1920s with a comic, yet sensual appeal that took Europe by storm. Famous for barely-there dresses and no-holds-barred dance routines, her exotic beauty generated nicknames "Black Venus," "Black Pearl" and "Creole Goddess." Admirers bestowed a plethora of gifts, including diamonds and cars, and she received approximately 1,500 marriage proposals. She maintained energetic performances and a celebrity status for 50 years until her death in 1975. Unfortunately, racism prevented her talents from being wholly accepted in the United States until 1973. <a href="http://www.cmgww.com/stars/baker/index.php">http://www.cmgww.com/stars/baker/index.php</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Aida Overton Walker dazzled early-twentieth-century theater audiences with her original dance routines, her enchanting singing voice, and her penchant for elegant costumes. One of the premiere African American women artists of the turn of the century, she popularized the cakewalk and introduced it to English society. In addition to her attractive stage persona and highly acclaimed performances, she won the hearts of black entertainers for numerous benefit performances near the end of her tragically short career and for her cultivation of younger women performers. She was, in the words of the New York Age's Lester Walton, the exponent of "clean, refined artistic entertainment."<br />

Cleo Hayes (1936)<br />
<br />
Born on the Delta in Greenville, Mississippi, Cleo escaped to Chicago and got her first job dancing at the Grand Terrace with Earl Hines. After a stint performing at the World's Fair, she took a bus to New York and started at the newly opened Apollo Theater, as one of the Apollo "Rockettes." When the Cotton Club moved to its elegant new home downtown in Times Square, Cleo joined that company. She then traveled with Bertye Lou dancing throughout South America, and later with the first black USO unit during WWII. Cleo recounts that USO tour: how they had to receive their meals out the back doors of the mess halls in the south, and her own personal insurrection: taking "For Colored Only" signs off the trains they rode. After the war, with theaters wanting to cut expenses and chorus line work drying up, Cleo danced while the work lasted — at Broadway's Café Zanzibar, the 845 Club, on tour with Cab Calloway, and in the film "Stormy Weather." <br />

Actress Gail Fisher (photo taken in 1973).<br />
First African-American actress to win an Emmy for Outstanding Performance in a Dramatic Series in 1970<br />
<br />
<br />
1935 - 2000<br />
Born in Plainfield, New Jersey.<br />
<br />
In 1970 she became the very first African American Actress to win an Emmy award for acting, when she received the Emmy for Oustanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Peggy Fair in "Mannix".<br />
<br />
Understudied Ruby Dee on Broadway in "Purlie Victorious".<br />
Has two daughters by her first husband.<br />
<br />
Studied with Lee Strasberg and was later a member of the Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center where she worked with Elia Kazan. Her stage work included "A Raisin In The Sun," "Purlie Victorious" and "Danton's Death".<br />
<br />
One of TV's most visible black actors of the late 60s, Gail was nominated for four Emmy Awards for her stylish secretary, winning once, and for three Golden Globe Awards, winning twice.<br />
<br />
CBS was hesitant to cast Gail as the widow and altruistic secretary Peggy Fair of detective Joe Mannix, but actor Mike Connors and "Mannix" producer Bruce Geller persisted.<br />
<br />
She battled drugs in the popular show's aftermath and eventually sought rehab after being arrested in 1978 for cocaine possession.<br />
<br />
Became one of the first black actresses to appear in a national TV commercial with speaking lines when she did an ad for All detergent in 1961.<br />
<br />
Gail did not make her appearance on "Mannix" (1967) until the show's second season, after Mannix left the detective firm Intertect and set up his own shop as private investigator.<br />
<br />
Landed her first television appearance at age 25 in the 1960 syndicated program, "Play of the Week".<br />
<br />
On December 2, 2000, Gail Fisher passed away at home from lung cancer. Twelve hours later, her brother Clifton, a businessman, died of heart failure.<br />

During NYC Fashion Week I was given a ticket to see Frank Tell's Fall 2011 preview. The collection was very unique. There was asymmetry, furs, layering of the fabrics, and a lot of draping as well. My favorite pieces in this collection are the fur jackets!!!LaDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05087938663112224854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879525287018099668.post-66295812530264987092011-02-21T18:25:00.000-08:002011-02-21T18:32:14.547-08:00Cynthia Steffe Fall 2011 Fashion show<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FLr3YPrRzAM/TWMbubruL6I/AAAAAAAAAmk/3CeQ3zEFCKs/s1600/DSC01398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FLr3YPrRzAM/TWMbubruL6I/AAAAAAAAAmk/3CeQ3zEFCKs/s640/DSC01398.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">JOHN GALLIANO: has done it again with his wonderful talent. Christian Dior Spring 2011 Couture Collection looks beautiful and breath taking. The collection has bright pastel colors, with great detail, and fabric manipulation. You can definitely tell the difference in the way models walk when wearing Christian Dior Couture. The ladies move with such grace. The one reason why John Galliano is my most favorite Designer is because he is not afraid of fantasy. I believe that fashion is not just about making everyday clothing, it is also a form of art. Its about taking people to a place they have never been before. The same as looking at a painting, or listening to music. Its a work of art. </div>LaDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05087938663112224854noreply@blogger.com6
