Since 2009, I have created this blog and abandoned it... Been consistent with making posts and often times, inconsistent. But through it all, I always put out things that affect me that I feel will have some sort of impact on others. So thanks to everyone that has hit up this blog, dedicated commentators and those seen and unseen! It is appreciated! The best is yet to come, fam!
I have been a fan of Miss Betty Chantel ever since one of her pictures popped up in my Tumblr feed last year. This pin-up cutie is a model and go-go dancer from Jersey City, NJ and has been featured in various fashion and style magazines and on several websites and blogs.
What I find so interesting about Betty is that I had actually not known of any current models of color that actually embraced and posed in the vintage, pin-up style portraits that she absolutely looks flawless in. It is actually very inspiring, and you can tell that she absolutely enjoys what she does and truly owns her unique since of style.
Big ups to our Queen of The Week, Betty Chantel! Rock on, girl!
YES! You read right! Ever since February, I have had the privilege of being added to the roster of amazing writers for one of my favorite online sites pertaining to music, The Roy Ayers Project!
Some of you may remember me making a post last year about the outstanding work that they are doing by creating a documentary dedicated to exposing the musical intelligence and legacy of Mr. Roy Ayers. I have been greatly influenced by his music ever since the first time I heard it, so it is really an honor to have been accepted by the director of the project and to be a part of something that is enlightening and truly historical.
Thus far, I have written two articles that I will be posting below. And for those that have not yet seen the trailer, I will post it again so that you may bear witness to what this documentary has in store for viewers. Again, I would like to say that I am TRULY honored to be a part of this, and the best is yet to come!
