Introduction My interests in 1970s fashion lead me to interview my mother, Cynthia Cartwright (Cindy) who was a teenager during this period. The 1970s were a time of protesting and fighting for equal rights for women, African Americans, Native Americans, gays and lesbians. Nevertheless, the 1970s were also a time of media influences, like music, television, and magazines. Media was an influence that reached Cindy. An African American teenage girl from St. Louis, Missouri, with not many examples…
Stop! Do not throw away that blue sweater just because it is starting to look worn out. Washing your favorite throw overs can cause them to look worn and shaggy with fuzzy lint pulled up over time. That doesn't mean those throw overs are now to be thrown away. Possibly the best advice Wengie could pitch our way is taking an average razor and shaving your sweater. Shaving delicately will pull that lint right off smoothing the material out and renewing the bright colors giving the newly bought…
Summer Twins Review: A Dreamy Dance Party Kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend with great music is not a bad way to dive into the holiday, for couples and singles alike. This last Friday, February 12, Summer Twins performed at Acerogami, Pomona, CA, joined by Veronica Bianqui. The entire event had a drinks-with-friends vibe, framed by the venue’s exposed brick, low lighting, projected music videos, and a few heart-shaped balloons at the stage. The beauty of smaller venues is the level of…
the man with winter hat Winter headgear. For the men, hat (or beanie hat as now appears to be called), cap or hat. Which material you choose? About the hat, I do not have much to say. Nice and warm, sporty and easy to put in your pocket. Perhaps clever to invent any materials you have on your head to many. Do it quickly warm? Can you stand the tickling of wool? If you answer 'yes and no', then look for a cap of synthetic material. Or maybe a combination of the two materials a solution for you…
dmittedly, the last three things make my blood boil, because they are an eyesore! Pocket square, hence the word SQUARE! Your pocket square should be neat, fold the fabric into a SQUARE! It shouldn’t look like a clown napkin, like you pushed it down into the pocket and slowly pulled it out so it could collapse on your chest. Generally speaking, your tie should JUST reach the waistband of your trousers, or slightly shorter, if you can’t take your jacket off because your tie looks like your…
items on the “All My Life” sales list and selected the “Fine Green Shirt” item to compare to eBay sale items. The descriptions that I found on eBay were a combination of both subjective and objective due to the fact that the author of the auction provided facts about the material the shirt was made out of, which was stated as 100% cotton, but also an opinion about the shirt being “an American classic”. However the description of the shirt listed on the “all My Life” list was a subjective…
result. On the surface, smart casual is a more stylish, fashion-conscious approach to professional dress. Instead of the status quo (khakis and a woven shirt), there’s more room to play. Smart casual…
the hall and the second door on your left” I hear Braelynn say. Thank God it wasn't Brinley that answered the door. I heard a knock at my door then it opened. When he opened it my breath caught. He was wearing a light green long sleeve button down shirt that was tucked into the tightest pair of wrangler jeans. He was also wearing a newer looking pair of boots and a midnight black cowboy hat instead of his usual camo one. I put my ‘tough guy’ face on and pretended I didn't notice…
Whenever I attend an interview or some sort of business event I will be sure not to wear jeans and a nice shirt due to the fact that it can cost me the job or give a poor impression to those that surround me. In today’s society, it is worth the extra money spent on some nice business clothes if it means making a good impression and getting the job. The business…
for entertainment, until they saw a woman alone three in the morning coming home from work. “Are you ready that's the one” “I told you i ain't backin down” So they all slowly and quietly walked out of the car.They walked up behind here and slipped a shirt over head. Kicking and screaming,”HELP GET OFF OF ME!” but no one heard nor came to help, "This is it, kid, now you got your chance to be…
