Thanksgiving, the dilemma

It's that time of year again when we stuff our bellies with tons of triptophan-laced turkey, stuffing, cranberry, rolls, papas and gravy. We get two days off of work and school to spend time with our friends and family and have few drinks, kick-back and relax. Yet, for those of us that know the history of this holiday, it is difficult to embrace the spirit of it with images of happy pilgrims and Indians permeating the grocery stores, office workspaces, and schools. During my hard-core activist days, we were angry at the Hollywood and Disney images of perfection that made anyone that didn't look that way feel like 2nd class citizens. Yet, now that we are parents, we're not so uptight about things. Even though my curly-haired, caramel, sun-kissed skin-toned daughter loves to watch the blonde, stick-thin Disney princesses I know that she can still enjoy watching those films and still have confidence in her own looks because, well, I'm her mom, and I won't let her think...

Latino Fashion-Listo: Alex Ehecatl Chavez

Image
Ladies (and gentlemen too), I promised to include fashionable men in my fashion feature and it didn't take much thought to come up with a list of appetizing amigos that have their look on point from head to toe! I'm calling this my Latino Fashion-Listo feature because these guys are always listos (ready/smart/on-point) when it comes to their fashion sense. Let the collective sighing begin with a beautiful soul of a man, actor/director/producer. . . Alex Ehecatl Chavez Those of us that know him from his work with Native Voices at the Autry or from the bar fight scene in the movie Frida , know him as Ehecatl. It took us plenty of time to get the pronunciation right so we got it and we're sticking to it. ;-) All joking aside, this descendant of Aztec blood-lies and chiseled good-looks makes an impression when he walks into a room. Quiet and understated in person and in his everyday wear, his peaceful energy makes people stop and take notice. Read on for a fashion Q...

Latina Fashionista: Miss Lydia Sofia

Image
Today is March 30, 2012 and my Latina Fashionista pick of the week is none other than the birthday girl herself, my baby Miss Lydia Sofia No one has inspired me to be bold and take risks in fashion the way she has. Her choice of brights and pattern combinations rival those of any Hollywood designer. So let's take a look at how this 6 year old runs fashion circles around everyone around her, literally. Here Miss Lily is wearing a fun polka dot top with a high waist and pink Hello Kitty skirt. The black tights provide just the right amount of dark contrast to make the bright pink pop! Her sparkle shoes are just the right addition to complete the look. When Miss Lily feels like bustin' a move to some Snoop Dog she layers an oversized tee over a long-sleeve shirt in a paler shade. Her color of choice, purple. Topped off with a stand-out Crayola yellow folded bandana on her head and all that's left to say is "what up, boi!?!" Another fr...
