“I smell an ebay sale coming on…..”
Shopping & Sales
“So if you live in the UK you know this is spring/summer sale period. This being my first summer staying in the UK for the summer, yes, I usually rush off to the states once the exams are over, but this year was different, my placement kept me here!
Nonetheless, with me not going to the States this summer I thought how on earth am I going to maintain my status of the ‘Fly’ Yankee Chic in Bradford, joke. I won’t be able to shop at Forever 21 (and feel exclusive in Jand, ha haaa), I won’t be able to hit up the vintage markets or my costume jewelry spots in NY, and what about shopping at Nordstorms and Nordstroms Rack. And anyone that knows me knows I am the QUEEN of finding designer brands for amazing prices I never pay full price for my designer jeans…NEVER!”

Keepin It Moving: The Legacy of Sandman Sims
Choreographed and Directed by Holly Bass
A Work Commissioned by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture
Keepin It Moving is a new hip-hop theater work based on the legacy of the Apollo Theater and the life of Howard “Sandman” Sims. Conceived by DC hip-hop theater luminary, Holly Bass, the work explores black dance traditions from tap to house to hip hop. Hip-Hop’s four elements boil down to the beat, the rhyme, the dance and the message, and Howard “Sandman” Sims did all of those things as he danced across generations, transmitting black history and culture through fancy footwork, syncopated beats, boast rhymes and artistic innovation.
