Want Of The Week: Monif C’s Marilyn Dress

Lemme tell you a crazy story. Do you believe in destiny? This feels more like dresstiny. Last year I was still living in Miami. We were planning a move to Chicago, and I had just quit my job. I was nervous about our future, but I had a dream that reassured me. It was in…

Want Of The Week: Boscoe Holder’s Paintings

File this under: I always want what I can’t afford. These days I’m all about home decor that is truly unique and noteworthy. Which means enough with the framed posters on my walls – I want art! Painted! On canvas! And of course that is crazy expensive. So I spend afternoons wishing and hoping and…

My First Beauty Memory

My mother’s first beauty memory was one of observation. She remembers watching my grandfather’s sister, Auntie Ruby, as she sat at her dresser getting ready. “She would always have a huge flacon of 4711, and she would dab it behind her ears and on her neck.
