No mothballs in Teesie's Attic

teesies_0001_0001.jpgYou won't complain about the funky smell when you visit (Aunt) Teesie's Attic (the boutique--I can't speak about the old house.) It's not a terribly huge space, but it's big enough to house premium denim, modern laundry and selections from various Arlington fashion and knick-knack designers. I'm especially fond of Cutting Up and Aviator Nation.
It's really "cute"!

So you probably can't literally have Elton John play in your living room, but now you may be able to have the next best thing: A piano designed by the music legend that plays his songs note by note.

Watch the story Sunday at 5 p.m. on Young Street.

The thing that really shocked me most about it is how much it DOES sound like the Rocket Man.

What's With All The Drama?

2:15 PM Fri, Apr 04, 2008 |
Henry

Superballer Lebron James along with Supermodel Gisele made the cover of April's Vogue magazine. According to to Vogue it's the first time a black man's been featured on the cover.

So, why is the image stirring up controversy?

Critics say the photo perpetuates stereotypes. James strikes what some people say is a gorilla like pose baring his teeth with a basketball in one hand and the other around Giseles tiny waist.
Now the people at Voque say quote, "the magazine sought to celebrate two superstars at the top of their game".

We want to know what you think. Does this photo perpetuate stereotypes?

Haircut Do's & Don'ts

2:11 PM Fri, Apr 04, 2008 |
Henry

The stylists at Toni & Guy Salon were nice enough to share some tips to get the haircut you want.

1. Choosing the right Hairstylist - find out which hairstylists your friends use, or ask someone whose hair you admire.

2. Set up a consultation- make a free consultation before you make your appointment. Make sure you are comfortable speaking with your stylist and that you feel they listen to you.

3. Learn to communicate-Tell your hairstylist how much time you spend on your hair, your lifestyle and what your morning routine is like.

4. Bring along photos of the look you want-a picture is worth a thousand words. It is the best way to start the conversation.

5. Be receptive to your hairstylist- Remember your hairstylist knows about texture and what can work for you. Be open.

6. Watch how they style you out- Ask questions and make them show you how much product to use and tell them to watch you put it in for accuracy.

7. Buy the necessary hair styling products before you leave the salon- important to maintain the look

8. What should you tip for services- a proper tip is 15% to 20% for stylist & $5 for the person who washes your hair

9. What is the average men's haircut cost- the prices start around $40.00up. This is a cut & style.

10. Do men color their hair- Absolutely! With highlights and get full colors too.
