FASHION ICONS

STYLE ICON & PIONEER

Mrs. Eunice Johnson of Johnson Publishing passed away in Jan. this year. She was the epitome of grace and style, and was a pioneer in bringing Haute Couture to Black culture. She and her late husband, John, may rest in peace knowing that their heir, Linda Johnson Rice, will keep their legacy in tact for many, many years to come.
NAOMI SIMS - AMERICA'S TOP MODEL

I remember when I was a little girl, we would read Ebony magazines at relative's and friend's homes. I loved seeing these gorgeous black models on page after page.
Naomi Sims was the first Black top model (1960's) who launched a successful cosmetics line and was the author of 5 beauty books. Ms. Sims passed away on August 1st 2009. I wanted to pay my respects to a fabulous woman, role model and pioneer. You will never be forgotten.

Black America never looked better!

Where does the time go?







It's been a year and my poor little blog is lonely. I've changed the name and the game, and now "Kiss Kiss" Designs is making its debut. (Cool "C" image by The Paper Nut).

It's like that classic Quincy Jones song, "Everything Must Change"...so very true. It's 2010 and I've changed as well as all things around me.

Most people say "Change" is good, and I guess I agree with that. It's all very subjective anyway. Sometimes it's nice to keep the same things in place, it provides stability, safety and comfort. Isn't everything about comfort these days?

The rebel in me likes to shake things up (a bit), and the nurturing goddess in me wants to hold on tight to all that I feel comfortable knowing and seeing in my little world.

But in the world we live in...everything changes every day. What was in yesterday; is out today. Who you were married to last week; you're now divorcing. One day you're employed; the next minute you're let go. This is life, and we all have to make the best of it..as best we can.

So..I've been gone for a little while, but I'm back and I plan to keep the flow flowing, and the glow glowing.

Live your life like it's your last day on earth because you just never know.

PEACE, LOVE AND PASSION IS WHAT MAKES MY WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
