UPDATE!!!

I got a chance to make it out to Anbar for their store closing sale...

IDK if anyone else got a chance to make it (and i probably will nenver know since idont have any damn subscribers) but if they did they would've seen that the pickings were very slim. But what I did find out from one of the people in charge of stock is that they will be receiving a new shipment of summer shoes with in a week to a week and a half...he also said that your best bet is to call ahead to make shure they have replenished the stock before you go making the trek down there...refer to previous posts for their contact info if you wish....but you know I will be keeping abreast of this as well.

I did manage to snag some BCBG snake skin pumps for a STEAL!!!

And for those of you who love hose in the winter months, they have Berkshire Panty Hose for, like, $3 a pair!!! You can't beat that! They even had the Shimmers...my fav!

Introducing: Miguel Perdomo -- The New Face of Sean John

Well, Ladies...looks like we have another young brother to add to our list of people we would love to be trapped on a desert island with. Hailed as "the first Dominican Supermodel," Miguel was picked up by Diddy to represent his lifestyle brand back in 2007. Previous to that he walked the catwalk for Phat Farm and appeared in campaigns for Azzure, COOGI and Calvin Klein. Perdomo is currently working on Sean John's 2009 cad campaign. And when he is not busy with that he dedicates his time at his local YMCA in his native Paterson, NJ or lends a helping  hand to "Dominican Tornado Relief." Even more reason to droll over this brother...and, yes, ladies -- he's single! But just as I was about to give my boy, Miguel, my stamp of approval -- I happened upon his Model Mayhem page. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I mean, call me crazy, but for someone with so much notoriety would it not make more sense that a little bit more time be dedicated to maintaing a professional appearance at all times? I dunno...just a thought...

He's still a cutie pie and all, but I'm definitely going to need him to step it up a notch.

Wanna see for yourself and holla back? Here's the link...

Why there are so many posts for July 3rd...

When I get STAT info that I feel needs to be dispersed ASAP...the gods of modern technology have enabled me to post via my Blkbrry! So when it occurred to me that I needed to post about the Anbar sale, I was sitting under the dryer at the salon. I chose to SMS text it because, at the time, that is what seemed most convenient.  I later observed that b/c it can only process a certain number of characters, my one post turned into, like, 500! So...from now on...I will only use SMS as a mode of quick update...otherwise I will post via e-mail.

Still in Shock...

I know I should be ashamed for not addressing Michael Jackson's untimely passing sooner. But in all honesty... I am still in shock. It's like I'm in a bad dream unable to rouse myself from my slumber. And lately, hearing Michael's classics blaring from every car window in New York City has been the alarm clock that repeatedly brings me back to reality. No words can come close to describing the way I feel. I feel so guilty for not truly appreciating him for the legend he was while he was still living. Listening to his music now is almost like hearing them for the first time. And all I can think about is how I never realized how beautiful his voice was. Even if you are a person who didn't favor his artistry, his influence over all of pop culture is undeniable...this is especially true for the world of fashion. From the white socks and loafers, to the single white glove, Jackson's sense of style was something that seemed to be contagious in the 80's and early 90's. I can't, in good conscience, turn Michael's death into a fashion blog topic. But I will pay tribute to the influence he has had on the two things I love most...music and fashion. He will be sorely missed.
