Ebony Fashion Fair is coming to town again.

If you want to see a good show, very electric, by all means go. The fashions are wonderful; the music is wonderful; the strutting is wonderful; the audience is dressed to the hilt…

There was a year, the first year I went…

Now, I don’t remember how I went or who I went with, but it was very last minute. I was exhausted, but decided I’d love to go. After all, my background is in fashion and style…

So I threw a trench coat over my old clothes and went. After all, it was at one of the older auditoriums (at the time)…

Oh man, I was glad I had a coat on! The women looked as good as the models. They were high fashion…it was a show in itself.

One year I was with my neighbor with grown children of her own…she saw one of the young male models come out, strutting in a fur coat, underneath was a mini-kini….and she said, Be still my heart.

Amen to that one.
