Macys Passport 2008

I had the privilege of attending the 26Th annual Macy's Passport Fashion Show in Santa Monica. If I had to describe the show in one word It would be EXTRAVAGANT! The LIGHTS, the CAMERAs flashing, the LOUD music all send a rush of adrenaline through my body. Mind u im an audience member. The show had a mix of fashion, dance and theatre and was incredible. It was My first fashion show & I Loved it.

Where r the BlAck DesIgners??

Can u name 5 African American fashion designers off the top of your head?? Not Nelly, Sean Combs or Todd Smith,But im talkin bout actual "designers" that started from nothing. Nowadays celebrities, rappers and artist combine their money and style to create a label and put their famous names on it.

I feel that other than the few designers;Patrick Kelly{n the 80s},Steven Burrows, Tracy Reese and project runways Mychael Knight ,blacks have yet to reach success and longevity in the cutthroat fashion industry.

As an aspiring designer I ask myself "why??". I simply feel that there aren't enough black designers.

A Few of the Few Black Designers

Steven Burrows(established)

Tracy Reese(established)

Mychael Knight (up and coming)

Patrick Kelly(known in the 80's)

died of AIDS

Chanel Mit'Chell(aspiring)

I Guess Its up 2 me! (smile). I wanna build a Black legacy ! $$$

"A Bad Disney movie"

Sarah Palin, the soccer mom from Alaska is now running for vice president with nominee John McCain. This is total crap. the only reason he picked her is because of the simple fact that she is a woman. yup. He wants all the women formerly on Hilarys side to vote for him. Which some of them will beacuse they want to a see a woman in office and the unspoken truth that some are racist and wouldnt dare vote for as black man. Racist people are disgusting. Back to Palin, she juss pushed out a baby a few months ago, and has a knocked up 17 year old daughter now she wants to run a country. Alot on her plate huh?? The thing that gets me is that she called Barack Obama unexperienced and a "community organizer" when Alaska has only a handfull of people which she led on a path to nowhere. Soccer mom running for office..matt Damon is rite...this is.."A Bad Disney Movie".

This fresh-face model,and one of my personal favorites, is a brown skinned, kinky Haired beauty who has been modeling for about 3 years. The 5'9 talent continues to pop up in just about every magazine and walksthe runways of some of your favorite designers. This top-model is no amateur. I am proud to open up a magazine and see a black face that I can relate to. I cant wait to see how her career blossoms..(good luck Jordan)
