HIGH WASTE!

I felt it was time to address this fashion issue that we seem to be having this season. For the record, this high waist trend hit the scene last spring. Although I had made plans to participate in this one, something came up and plans were cancelled (thank God). This new epidemic appears to be a free diva pass to non-fashionistas everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I loved this look about 14 months ago. Now, I just want to confront every female that I see and simply ask why??? If you choose to ignore this message, at least get the ground rules. First, don't attempt to rock this look if you haven't seen a gym in over 4 weeks. Second, only jeans and pencil skirts are allowed! No shorts or capris please! Finally, if you bought this trend days prior to this message you get a free pass. If you already have this trend and your itching to sport this look again....don't even think about it! Of course all of this fussing is with love. I hate to see my sisters become fashion slaves by wearing what you see on everyone else. If you want to be trendy stay current. To be stylish you must do the homework!

POLITICAL FASHION?

Lauren London showed her Obama support rockin a very trendy shirt during the 3rd day of the 12th annual American Black Film Festival in LA recently. As a young voter, I have also been tempted to show my Obama support this season. I dont usually wear my vote via my wardrobe, but these shirts are getting cuter and cuter by the moment.

OVER THE WEEKEND

ATL

The third annual So So Def Summerfest kicked off this weekend in Atlanta. It was hosted by none other than Atlanta-based music mogul Jermaine Dupri.

The guest list included Diddy, actress Sanaa Lathan, actress Nia Long, actress Gabrielle Union, and many more. The wardrobes were not as hot as I had expected. Kudos to Gabrielle(at least) for the black and white mini dress, but if I see one more black, white, and red ensemble…..I’m going to scream!!!

FASHION FRIENDLY

KELIS

Kelis was spotted in Hollywood this weekend at Tony Hawk’s T-Mobile SideKick LX party. She has always been criticized about her extreme sense of fashion. Believe it or not, the only problem I have with this look is the handbag. Yes, it is a little weird but it works!

WAYNE'S DEBUT

As if selling more than one million records in a weekend wasn’t enough? The best rapper alive (like the best on earth according to media sources) has decided to join the Celebrity “I want to be a fashion designer” Club. With diamond cut skulls hanging form his jeans and more than one million dollars worth of jewelry in his mouth, its hard to picture this guy as a style icon. Don’t get me wrong, his album is in heavy rotation right now (I really like the track with Babyface), but I can’t seem to picture his face dominating the aisles of Neiman Marcus. The name FOREIGN MONEY was finally chosen for his debut. According to top fashion designers, Wayne’s line is the hottest line to look out for in fall 2008. We shall see about that!
