From me to you........

I miss her so much.One of my friends and fellow Blogger Mrs.Crooklyn Chronicles put me on to this particular song a little while ago . One night We had a long conversation about all the biases and difficulties we faced growing up as "dark skinned" females. All the complexes we developed because of our skin tone effected our decision making a lot and this song really spoke to both me and her hearts but more deeply our spirits.This song holds a very special place in my heart.Patrice shared this song with me and now i'll share it with you.
lots-o-love

..:: Andre Benjamin ::..

Andre 3000 is one of the best dressed men in Hollywood and One of my all time favorite entertainers. He was once a part of famed Rap duo Outkast but moved on to do solo work. Since then he's made a name for himself in the acting world as well as in the world of " Fashion"and has recently launched his very Clothing line! It's called : Benjamin Bixby : and it's wonderful. It's like Andre has allowed us access to his very own wardrobe . I was wondering why he named it " Benjamin Bixby so I read a few articles and I found the reason in New York Magazine .It said:Benjamin Bixby, he says, “is a character who’s kind of like your uncle, or your granddad, and he has a closet full of experiences and clothes, and he’s been around the world.”

Charlize Theron,Genevieve Jones ,Simon Doonan ,Veronica Webb and Vivica Fox are just few of the celebs in attendance at his party in Barneys Ny on thursday. I wish him the best of luck with his new line.
