I LIVE FOR LIMP HAIR

All the volume that Beyonce and the Kardashians be packing is cute for a day or two, but the way I really love my hair to look is flat! Like very close to my cranium flat, with a few tangled curls at the end. For years my stylish colleges couldn't relate to my love for limp messy hair [especially since I didn't complete the look with combat boots or plaid shirts] but, I think this year the tide may change. Fall 10 runway shows were full of girls with mussed, bed-head looks, especially at A. Wang and Rag and Bone.

LIGHT WEIGHT; HEAVY STYLE

 PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND'S SPRING 2010 OUTERWEAR

[L] POS'S answer to the must have khaki trench: Canvas and suede trench with constructed cowl neckline. Available at net-a-porter.com.

[R] Carhartt canvas meets Elizabethan England: Sleeveless canvas jacket with hood and ruffled neckline. I'm usually not a fan of sleeveless jackets [sort of counters the warming properties of "the jacket"], but fashion has a way of pushing common sense to the side for the sake of looking cute as hell.

RETURN OF THE ANKH ALBUM ARTWORK


Continuing in Part One Fashion, Erykah Badu employed artist Emek for the New Amerykah Part Two- Return of the Ankh album artwork. Emek was directly inspired by the lyrics of the second New Amerykah, lacing each inch with symbolism. In the center, Badu is illustrated in large scale with armor on to protect her against the harsh realities of the world and from the top of her head grows the tree of life with a nude version of herself climbing up it and out of her own mind. Her nudity represents her rebirth and the purple color of the tree and sky symbolize the 7th chakra-the crown chakra that stands for peace, wisdom, and spirituality. The ripples at the top of the image could be from Badu "summoning the vibrations of the universe" or it could be that the whole scene takes place underwater. Behind the armored Erykah is the rubble of the wrongness in the world [imbalanced politics] but out of that grows lush exotic plant life. 
There is still hope.
Three things remain important to Badu: her music, lover, and her babies.
This inspired Emek to illustrate in three's:
3 moons
3 hidden babies
3 trees
3 ankhs
 Really inspiring to see musical and graphic artists operate on the same wavelengths. 

Can't wait to see what other illustrations the album artwork may hold.
New Amerykah Part Two- Return of the Ankh set to release 3.30.10 [this Tuesday]
 Songs to look out for:
Get Munny
Out of my Mind, Just in Time
