We are still in year 2020. As we soar through Planet C && B, the environment is dark and blue. We came across a black hole, and we see a beam of bright colors peaking through. We were very curious of what it was. Coco puts on the "Ezri Headband to detect a new found city in Planet C && B. Seeking from above while soaring through the black light sky,we look down and see works of art. We take our C && B Eyewear off, and look down again and see nothing. We put the eyewear back on and see asymmetrical buildings, with neon lights beaming out the windows. We see pieces of art just floating from the gravity in the air in this city. Breezy pulls a piece of art from the sky and puts it on her arm. Coco pulls another piece of art from the sky and puts it on her neck. With that being said, Welcome to the city of "Wear-able Art.

On Monday May.22, 2011 The star performed “Run the World” on Oprah’s Farewell Show in an Alexander McQueen jacket and a bowtie by Robot & Brucling. The design Duo Robot (Chris) & Brucling (Bruce)are from Boston and since their move to NYC a year ago they have been UNSTOPPABLE! When asked how did it feel to see their work on the superstar Brucling replied " Words cannot express the feeling of seeing our work on a celebrity of that magnitude. Beyonce is one of the worlds most recognizable figures in music & fashion and that goes to show you that hard work and dedication pays off and we are truly blessed."
BIG THANK YOU again to all the artists and sponsors that made this day possible! May "Vanity Day" was a special day for our clients thanks to all the effort, creativity, and professionalism of our Vanity Day artists. " It was a heart felt event filled with a lot of insight & emotion. Two of the women experienced the power of hair & make up for the first time and were empowered by the extra bit of glam. The days event provided a consultation portion, so artist client visions of style were cohesive and well executed to the personal taste of the women. Smiles were testament to the success of the day & all four women seemed thrilled with their new look. Le Souk provided a very intimate atmosphere for personal, life, self image & vanity discussion. We came to a common consensus that vanity is innocent & necessary as long as it is based on YOUR perception and taste and not contrasted and compared to popular culture and not dependent on the validation of the masses. Only YOU know the VALUE of your VANITY, not society. I anticipate the growth of our movement and can't wait to take over the world, one vain day at a time. Looking forward to our next event!
It was one Sunday in March when I met Singer Sye Spence in the studio of fashion photographer Bryan Taylor Johnson. I was booked to do her makeup for her promo shoot. I was greeted with a warm smile from Sye, and her mother. She described her look to me "very edgy, but keeping the innocence of her natural beauty."
As we became well acquainted I asked to listen to some of her music. To my surprise she was exceptional, and truly gifted. A very powerful voice came from the speakers, and I instantly became a fan of Sye Spence.
A few weeks ago i contacted her and wanted to know more about her. So enjoy the interview that I had with this new up and coming artist.

*****************************************
TB: How old are you?
SS: 22
TB: Where are you originally from?
SS: New York City =)
TB: Where do you currently reside?
SS: New York baby...
TB: What’s your favorite quote?
SS: "Original or spicy...?" - Popeye's Chicken
TB: What is your personal style?
SS: I love pieces that give me that perfect combination of beautiful woman and a little bada%# (haha). So I usually have on a pair of heels and something black. I love to be sexy and feminine with an edge.
TB:How long have you been singing?
SS: I've been singing since I was 6 at that first talent show at PS 195 in Queens. (Queens stand up haha)
TB: Did you know that singing was what you were going to do form an early age?
SS: I always sang in front everyone from family, friends, and even strangers when I was young. Singing is one of those things that I believe wouldn't let me go. Even when I tried other things, but I knew I was created to do this…make music.
TB: Who would you say inspire you as an artist?
SS: Powerful vocalists/performers like Janis Joplin, Steven Tyler and Freddy Mercury to Gwen Stefani and Pink. However, I grew up on so many other styles of music. My mom used to play Anita Baker and Celine Dion for me as a child and that's how I learned to use my voice. I went through my tomboy stage where I listened to nothing but gangster rap. I love reggae music (my family is Jamaican it‘s in my blood). I would say that everything that I love in music and have been exposed to inspires me in some way to be an honest artist.
TB:What would you say was your big break?
SS: Being conceived on that cool September day haha...(sorry mom lol). But seriously, my whole life is something I see as a gift, so although as a musician, I have been able to release great music, perform in front of lots of people, there are still pinnacles that I am working towards reaching. Nonetheless, I have an innate sense of success that stems just from my gratitude for living. =)
TB: What role do your parents play in your career?
SS: My parents are amazing. They are really supportive and seem to grow in their support as time goes by. My mom is also very smart from a business perspective so we are always working together on innovative ways to connect my music with the audience.
TB:Describe your style of music?
SS: Its rock. Its emotional though. I was fortunate enough to work with awesome musicians and a producer that really got how to merge rock with various genres from electro to symphony so its very experimental in that it breaks down and climaxes in emotion on every song. My EP, Mad Mad World is really a mashup of all of that.
TB: Who do you get compared to the most?
SS: I don't know! I really don't get the comparisons (to my face).
TB: What venue do you dream of performing at?
SS: The O2 arena. Something about the reception of alternative music overseas that makes me really excited to tour there.
TB: Who are your music ICONS?
SS: U2.
TB: Do you remember your first performance? How did you feel when you where finished?
SS: That was when I was 6 so I was just happy that everyone else was cheering. It felt amazing being on stage.
TB: Are you dating?
SS: No, not right now.
TB: Why are you single I’m sure guys are knocking at your door?
SS: (Haha) it is tough. When you are very dedicated to something like your career. I sometimes have limited time to really get to know someone, and allow them to get to know me. which I feel is the basis for a relationship. But I'm pretty sure that with the right guy things will work out. Only time will tell.
TB: Would you say you are a very fashionable person?
SS: Hmm… I must admit I really don't keep up with the latest trends. I do know what I like. I'm the girl that if it looks hot on me then that’s all that matters. I guess its more style over fashion.
TB:What is your favorite item in your closet that you could not live without?
SS: Right now...My army green suede platform heels. They are so cute!
TB: Do you have any encouraging words for those who are try to make a name for themselves in the industry.
SS: Yes, never give up. And don't listen to anyone who tells you that you should. Also, don't wait on anyone to hand you your career. Unapologeticly create the career/life that you want.
TB:Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
SS: Definitely touring between the states and abroad and writing music that people love.
TB: Neon Fix Cares is a Project that gives women who have low self-esteem the chance to know the Value of Vanity. What does the Value of Vanity mean you, and how in your own way can you Spread the word of Positive Vanity?
SS: Wow. The Value of Vanity to me means; you love the girl you see in the mirror. She isn't going anywhere so you better learn to love her, and treat her like a million bucks. I can spread the value of vanity by encouraging others to look in the mirror and be happy with who they see and want the best for themselves. <3
Where will the world take this NYC native Sye Spence? All I know is if she keeps singing like this there is no limit in what she can do.
Gucci zoomed in on one of our most fave prints, hounds tooth and drenched their new Fall 2011 Boston Bag in it. Have a towel on deck, as you'll be dripping fabulosity when rocking. Come autumn, Gucci customers will be able to customize their leather goods and luggage with their initials in-store on-the-spot.
As you can see we called in a favor to have ours embossed with N.F. ahead of time ;-)
""New host of Oxygn’s ‘Hair Battle Spectacular”, EvaMarcille, was spotted shopping at Barneys this weekend in Beverly Hills. She stepped out in Versace pumps from the Spring/Summer 2010 line, Oliver People Balmain shades, a Vernus Alma Louis Vuitton bag and turban.""
So ok we do hair/make up/style and grand larceny. Just pretend your in south central & just be glad it wasn't your car or platinum chain Necole. A couple Images of a top model, Versace & Louis V in Beverly hills won't break your account or drop you into a different tax bracket. Eva looks so hot here and the verbiage was so simple and practical we couldn't resist hitting copy then paste! Just know for our mugshots we'll be looking FABULOUS in the same featured outfit. We'll beat the case & get off scott free, because just like any photo shoot we do, we'll kill it & they'll never recover the murder weapon!
#Pomade #Powder #Pumps (Versace of course ) #Pow. . .#oh and the #Oliver People Balmain shades, #Vernus Alma Louis Vuitton bag and turban.
