Hidden Seams: HTDOGWTR

IymaaniW — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:21:27 +0000

While studying fashion merchandising and design at North Carolina A & T State University, Jeffrey Lee created HTDOGWTR in 2006. Childhood memories of asking his grandfather (who grilled hot dogs) for a cold beverage, and having to drink from the water fountain, brought this idea to life. What started out as a line for hand-made couture purses, grew overnight. Lee’s idea was to create an exclusive clothing line that would go beyond campus life and expand worldwide. He didn’t want HTDOGWTR to be for a specific audience, but for anyone who could appreciate his vision. HTDOGWTR today, consist of T-shirts, dresses, jeans, jackets, hats, jewelry, baby wear, car exterior/interior details and bathroom accessories. Now a college grad, Jeffrey Lee wants the world to know that his line is not just fashion, it’s a lifestyle!

Condé Nast Says No To Vogue Africa

Kristina Bustos — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:00:26 +0000

Condé Nast, publisher of magazines like “Vogue,” “Glamour,” “GQ,” “Lucky” and “Self,” won’t be adding “Vogue Africa” to its long list of magazines anytime soon. Mario Epanya posted on his Facebook page: “DEAR ALL. The Wait is over. Condé Nast said NO to an African license of VOGUE. So this is the last cover. Enjoy, but it’s a beginning of something.” The Cameroonian photographer started a campaign to convince Condé Nast to see the potential of having “Vogue Africa” in the newsstands. To put his message across, Epanya designed fictional covers of “Vogue Africa;” unfortunately his efforts were not enough.

MakishaT — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:33:18 +0000

What’s summer without tons of color, color, color! We’re only midway through this 2010 summer season and there are three heads we’re eying with envy. In comparison to past summers where pink, purple and even turquoise were favorites, this summer we’ve seen colors that are more functional with a hint of edge and personal style.

Gray
It is impossible to start off a hair color series without Kelis. She is by far the modern queen of color and this summer alone, she’s given us two colors to be excited about; gray and dirty red. She kicked summer off with what many of us saw as a huge risk: gray. After all, don’t we all shy away from the grays? Well not this bad bee. Kelis has single-handedly made hair aging a beautiful thing.

Top 5 Healthy Summer Hair Guide

MichelleP — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:30:11 +0000

Summer’s in full effect and Honey’s here to help you look hotter than the sun! You may love spending time outdoors, but your hair may not love you for it!As the world makes it’s great escape outdoors, your hair can take a harsh beating from the salt, chlorine, harsh minerals, UV rays and constant styling abuse that it encounters throughout the summer time. Have no fear! Here are 5 tips to keep your hair healthy and manageable during the hot summer months…

1. Go Natural- We tend to wash our hair more in the summer to keep cool and fresh. Washing with harsh chemicals will strip your hair of vital oils that your body produces that keep it supple and moisturized. To avoid this, Use organic hair products. All shampoos contain cleansers, but organic products are less likely to rob your hair of it’s natural moisture!

We suggest:

Aveda Shampure Shampoo

^TM

Tip: Don’t Overwash! Overwashing also contributes to dry hair. Instead of washing daily, settle for 2-3 times a week.

Neutrogena Goes Deep With New Cleanser

Alisha L. Gordon — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:25:20 +0000

The trusted brand Neutrogena has created a new cleanser that helps control that pesky shine that many of us are plagued with. The Deep Clean Long-Last Shine Control Cleanser/Mask clears away 85% of built up oil while keeping you shine free for hours.

The rice protein cleanser can also serve as a mask! 1-2 times a week, apply the cream sans water directly to your face, let dry, then rinse.

I’m always dealing with an oily T-Zone so this product was ideal! My face was clean, fresh, and oil free for about 4 hours, much longer than when I use my usual face wash.

You can find the Neutrogena Deep Clean Long-Last Shine Control Cleanser/Mask at any major retailer.
