    Our friend Yana Fleming just launched the African Fashion Index, which is the first comprehensive guide of African fashion designers, ‘regardless of race, religion or geographic location.’ Of course, she did this in her spare time, when not pursuing a PhD, running her own design firm or speaking 5 languages. Good heavens. and Happy Fashion Week to all, Dropsquad Desedo is lamping front row.

  • Chad Ocho Cinco

    ocho cinco

    So Bengals WR Chad Johnson has legally changed his named to Chad Ocho Cinco – and now his jersey will reflect that. I love this sly win for individuality within a massive corporation, sometimes maligned as the “No Fun League”. @ the end of the day, Chad knows that he is businessman, not just a sportsman, and is remixing the ways in which he can capitalize on his brand. Reminds me of Joe Namath, Muhammad Ali and of course Rod Smart, aka He Hate Me, from the XFL.

  • Summer Camp + Hip-Hop

    mik-moore-mix-tape.jpg
    As a teen I went to a summer camp on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Ran about barefoot, howled @ the moon and learned to be me. And in that feral setting, I also developed a love for hip-hop, brought on by the Brooklyn kids in my tent. Reading the Camp Camp blog today, I learned that this little distribution channel of rhyme was actually happening in bunks and swamps nationwide, concrete jungle indeed.
