Happy 47th Jamaica!!!!!! In 1962, my beautiful momma was born, and now she always has a reminder of just how old she is this year. LOL! August 6th is Independence Day for Jamaica and today is an absolutely beautiful beach day. The sun is shining brightly and the cool breeze is in high gear. I [...]
Let’s start the Fashion Week coverage with a familiar face around these parts. Camesha Powell’s line Poshe has been featured many times here on FOS and her CFW 09 collection lives up to expectations of young, trendy chic.

I gotta tell you I work on the sidelines of a runway, I know I do. These girls throw down! Here is Kristy at work on a Tuesday morning looking her Tuesday best, Beyonce would be so proud of those heels…
Teenage, the Tuesday magazine of the Jamaica Observer for young readers, recently did a photoshoot with some of our new Jamaican dancehall/reggae divas at Jordu…the new "name brand" fashion store in Seventh Avenue Plaza.

Anarcy started with this all black male outfit which got mixed reviews from the audience…I for one am not sure I’d want to see my honey rocking this ruffle shirt eh? But I do find the [...]
At this past Island Couture event (are you STILL missing out? Big mistake!) Mushroom, well known Jamaican mother and son team of swimwear designers, showed us their newest creations. I’ve often wondered, how far can you really take a swimsuit? I just figure there are only about so many designs you can give a [...]
As I’m cruising the local websites to see if there’s anything juicy popping off on our entertainment scene, I come across the launch of reggae singer Sophia Brown’s debut album on 876Radio.com Unfortunately I’m blogging today from the 9-5 which has blocked youtube access so I can’t even look up her songs, which I’m [...]
