Teenage Fashionista Turning Heads!


Zeydana (Instagram)

I was perusing the Internet recently when I stumbled across a young J-lo look-a-like 
rocking an uber-chic men's inspired suit and killer fedora. The headline read, "Are You Feeling Zendaya’s Menswear-Inspired Suit?" 

My answer was a resounding, 'YES!! But, who's Zendaya??"  Well, I quickly found out!

Several Google searches later, I discovered the the pretty multi-racial, teen-aged actress-singer-dancer Zendaya Coleman--simply known as Zeydana--first hit the scene at age
13 in the Disney comedy 'Shake It Up'.   
Well, whoo knew?   I no longer have 'Disney TV-aged chil'ren at home, but if I did, surely I'd have been in the known about ... Zeydana!   SURELY! "
It seems, over the past year or so she has been turning heads in a big way with her impeccable style sense.  Now, at age the 17-year old 'triple threat' has fast become the newest fashionista on the block.

The TV star and platinum selling singer turns heads wherever she goes. And, she doesn't appear to mind spreading the 'fashion love' around; Zendaya released a book last year titled "Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Tween Years with Style and Confidence" last summer."



Meantime, while talking about her wardrobe as a contestant on the 2013 season of
'Dancing with the Stars', Zendaya told the Huffington Post, "They show a lot of skin on that show. I wanted to make sure that all my outfits were appropriate because there's young girls watching me, and I want to make sure they can see that you can be beautiful without having to show everything."


Zendaya's name comes from the word “Tendai”/”Tendayi”, which means ‘to give 
thanks’ in the Shona language, a South Western African language common in 
Zimbabwe and southern Zambia.  Her father is African-American and her mother has German, Irish, and English ancestry.

In this day and age of underwear exposing saggy, baggy pants on the young fellas,
to thong revealing hip huggers on young girls,  todays tweens  can learn alot from the classy, young style sensation ... Zeydana.

Pharrell said he's the 'New Black' ... and then ...

Pharrell Williams (Twitter) It seems super producer-writer-singer and ' Happy ' man Pharrell Williams has angered some folks ( again ).  This time controversy centers around comments about race during a recent interview with Oprah on OWN. While ( again ) addressing the criticism from those who say he did not include an African American on his GIRL album cover ( he did by the way ), Pharrell defined himself as The New Black; quoting here, the portion of his statement that went viral:     "The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it's not pigmentation: it's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you.    And you've got to pick the side you'r e going to be on." And for those interested in the complete comment:   "The new black doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The new black dreams and realizes that it’s not a p...

I WONDER WHAT DAD IS THINKING??

Wikimedia Commons My dad was an auto worker who faithfully worked at an Ohio General Motors plant for decades, first as an hourly employee, later as a foreman, and before his retirement, parts manager. His duties for the latter, at one time included ordering parts from various suppliers around the country. I remember vividly, the day he came home ranting about how he was asked to order this one particular part from Mexico. He said, " I refused to do it ." Of course you would have had to have known my dad to know what that statement actually meant. If he he didn't agree with something, he'd let you know in no uncertain terms for sure.  I was very young and didn't quite know what all of the fuss was about at the time. Anyway, as the child of a auto worker in the 70s-80s, my siblings and I benefited from all of my dad's union benefits. We had a good life, and always sporting the newest cars-GM-made of course-thanks to my dad's employ...
