Thank you for your contribution. I have so many lovely memories of watching Soul Train on Saturday mornings. 

Rest in Peace Don Cornelius.

my heart is so heavy right now.

man, i loooooove me some heavy d. and i am so sad that he is no longer with us. i really don’t want to believe it…and to think, he just crossed my mind last night when i saw a snippet of michael jackson’s “this is it” when he was performing “jam”.

this is the last time i will probably visit any social networking site tonight because i’m just in shock. he was so young. such a jolly and positive soul.

r.i.p. my love!!!

found this pic online of the super models of the 1990s. 

credit said it was a versace ad shot by peter lindbergh, 1991.

funny thing, this was shot around the corner from my showroom, on pearl street in dumbo, brooklyn. and for the most part, that street still looks the same 20 years later. 

my tv granma, clarice taylor, died on monday. she was 93 years young.

the cosby show is my all time favorite tv show, so it broke my heart to hear this news…

rest in peace my love!

finally putting up the pics from the harvard university show. yay!

i was among a handful of designers to have their clothing in the show, which was an honor cuz, after all, it IS harvard. our bus was an hour late so we didn’t get a chance to really see the campus. but it was still wonderful to say, “yes, i’ve been to harvard.” lol

beautiful architecture.
