There is a dimension of style that goes beyond the latest trend. It's the kind of elegance of presence that makes you timelessly relevant. Enter: Diahann Carroll -- Dynasty, 1984. I was just 10 years old, but I committed a certain whiteone shoulder bejeweled evening gown to memory. She was like royalty. The furs ... the hair ... the lashes ... the posture ... Iconic.
I'm always down for a good cookout, especially when the host adds tasty alternatives to the staples we love. Here's what I'm planning to try this holiday weekend.
If you are serious about your music, you can undoubtedly remember the first time you experienced the sound of Grammy-nominated artist Bilal's skillfully manipulated falsetto. For me, it was his hit, "Soul Sista'." I bought the single specifically with the intent of playing that ditty on repeat and, in turn, fell in love with "Sometimes." Thank goodness for his brand of untethered vocal and musical integrity. And thank goodness he's back -- giving us more. Bilal returns with his third studio album, Airtight’s Revenge, to be releasedSeptember 14. I caught up with him, as he's heading for Europe on tour, to talk about his personal style, hair and where to find him once the CD drops.
The summer is the best time to get out and explore your city. So, I'm giving you the who, what, wear. Now, you'll have no excuse for not enjoying Atlanta to the fullest. If you're not in Atlanta, use citysearch to see what's haute in your city, and get to it.
