Apostel Paul said cover your head and black women said right on baby!
When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

In August, National Public Radio's flagship music program All Songs Considered published "The Best Music of 2009 (So Far)," a rundown of the top 30 songs and albums of the year-to-date as voted by the show's listeners.
The results of the survey suggest that the All Songs Considered audience has a fuzzy understanding of the word "all." "The Best Music of 2009 (So Far)" consists almost entirely of indie-rockers: acts like The Decemberists, Wilco, Grizzly Bear, Neko Case, Andrew Bird, Regina Spektor, and Animal Collective, the Brooklyn art-rock group that took the top spot in both the best songs and best albums tallies.

Robert Pattinson doesn’t seem to care about his appearance. In that sense, he’s the exact opposite of Kellan Lutz who, time and again, appears to be more manicured than even his female castmates.This is Kellan in Vancouver yesterday hooking up with Peter Facinelli. The style scarf looped just so around his neck, and the cap, an open cardigan over a tee, with versatile white shades that flip up to show his eyes…Dude.
Networks to Obama: “NO”
Networks to Obama: “NO” 2009 September 5 by DanaLoesch .As Obama’s approval rating tanks, so does the generosity of broadcast networks. President Obama’s televised primetime addresses are becoming a tougher sell to the broadcast networks than his sweeping health care reform has been to Middle America. A day after news broke of the president’s plan to address a joint session of Congress on health care issues in primetime Wednesday, none of the Big Four networks have said it would carry the address live.First look at new Harvey Milk movie starring Sean Penn, James Franco
The true story of the first openly gay politician, San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, has finally been made into a film. The trailer for the film, simply titled “Milk,” is now out, below, and the movie looks pretty good. Sean Penn does an amazing job channeling Milk, while “No Country For Old Men” star Josh Brolin looks eerily like Dan White, the man who assassinated Milk along with city Mayor George Moscone in 1978.Men's style question..help me out here!
Not long ago, when I had posted about a revamped charity shop table and chairs on CasaSugar, what I did not mention was my boyfriend, surprisingly, picked up a nifty chocolate Fedora and decided out of the blue to buy it.
Now to explain his normal style in one word is..uh....black.
He is tall, and lean, and pale and has a definite "young Christopher Walken" thing going on...and wears glasses.
