It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Once Bitten...

Once Bitten…

  Twice Shy creators Jen McCormack and Michael Ziff were faced with a dilemma… they were looking for cool, urban clothes made from organically grown and sustainable fabrics. I know… tough luck, right? Well, like all great  entrepreneurs, the duo took it upon themselves to fill this market void and created Twice Shy. Twice Shy...

From the Window…. to the Wall….

I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I wasn’t going to write this week (I actually wasn’t going to go to work this week either but when you love something…) Anyway, I’m excited about all of the designers I’ll be featuring in the New Year. I also want to wrap up 06′ with a list...

Happy Holidays!

Have a great holiday! Remember those who are less fortunate than you. Celebrate with the ones you love!  
Art in the Age...

Art in the Age…

  Ugh.. don’t you hate winter colds? I have a nasty one right now… I ‘m sitting here in a not-so-fashionable ensemble, sifting through e-mails, site submissions and the like. One site I bookmarked, flagged, and vowed to tell you about some time ago is Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, or AAMR because...
Soldier Up

Soldier Up

The idea of a “Love Brigade” was odd to me at first. When I saw the site suggestion in my inbox I had visions of some sort of care-bear parade and I was scared. Very sacred. After clicking on the site though, I was pleased to find a line of clothes seeking to combine culture,...
Putting my foot down

Putting my foot down

A shoe is a shoe is a shoe… right? If you’re familiar with my old site, you’d know I’m not much of a shoe person, though many have tried. One shoe brand I can’t get enough of is Scorah Pattullo… and right now they’re having a 50% off sale for the holidays! The brainchild of...
Teenypig

Teenypig

The only problem with Teenypig is that they sell out of their amazing clothes almost as soon as they offer them. Teeny pig co-founders Gemma and Hannah came up with the name Teenypig because they are tiny gals who love good food. The name reflects their lifestyle of eating well and staying fit. The launch...
Where it all Began '73

Where it all Began ’73

With all the tee shirt companies out there, it can sometimes be hard to separate the truly amazing from the common place. Plus, with all the “hip-hop” brands out there, things start to look the same. A splash of graffiti here, an Afro-centric image there and you’re done. Not so with Sedgwick & Cedar. “Sedgwick...
Pinky's Daily Planner

Pinky’s Daily Planner

If you’re anything like Pinky, you have oh-so many thing planned for the upcoming weeks… Holiday parties, shopping, time with family and loved ones…. good thing there’s redbull, right? My sources tell me that aside from all of the December/ January craziness, Pinky has one more thing planned for you: style perfection. Designer Stephanie Fralick’s...
What a Joia!

What a Joia!

  So about the whole “man stealing my trash can” thing. The other day I was driving home from work when I saw this… guy, walking down the street with one of our trashcans. I mean… the audacity of it all! Who sits around as is like… “well, I could steal a car… or shoplift...
The Bus Stops Here...

The Bus Stops Here…

Thanks for the comments and suggestions… I know there are still some issues with (1) Mac Explorer and (2) Windows Fire-fox. I use a Mac and the site works very will with Mac Fire-fox! Also, I know the pictures are missing on some of the old files. For some reason Blogger doesn’t like outside blogs...
If it ain't Brucke...

If it ain’t Brucke…

  So as you can tell I’m still transitioning from Blogger. I hate Blogger. What an annoying site! I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with my posts and e-mail responses as of late… The whole “what to do about Blogger” thing was so annoying I just gave up writing all together. Plus some random...
