My Must Have Kicks

Hopefully I'm not wait listed and can purchase these cuties for the summer. Catch me on One-Two-Fifth rocking Kanyeezy's new LV joints.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2009

I love the new Louis Vuitton ad campaign. The photos which were taken by Steven Meisel evoke a time where artists frequented smoke filled Parisian cafes at 4am to drink wine and talk about escaping the political climate of the American puritanical systems of the day. Where black artist, dancers, and writers could just be artist, dancers, and writers…Moving, Speaking, Pontificating to a rhythm that is much appreciated in this bohemian setting on the Left Bank. I am there, sitting at a table across from Baldwin and Baker washing down an early morning freshly baked croissant with a glass of Beaujolais.

Sometimes your handlers make bad decisions

I really love Angela Bassett.  While she isn't exactly a fashion plate, i wouldn't exactly say i've ever seen her make a bad decision either.  But her appearance on 106th and Park this week was a little strange...her attire that is.  She's wearing a polka dot ball gown with an updo! I blame the person who dressed her of course...why would you put this woman is such a strange outfit for such an appearance? it's a young urban show...it would have been nice to see her dressed more appropriately...i'm not saying jeans and limited edition kicks or anything like that...but anything other than a ball gown would have sufficed. I understand she wore the gown to the premiere of Notorious, but I'm sure a quick wardrobe change wouldn't have been so daunting.  Here's an outfit that i find more appropriate for 106th and Park (keeping her age and body in mind)...this outfit would have also worked better for the premiere of the film in my opinion as well.
