Goodbye Etta…
January 21, 2012 by 16stone
1938 – 2012
Funny…about 2 weeks ago I was in my room playing “I’d rather go blind” over and over. I sang along every time for almost a full hour. Something about Etta’s sultry voice could make you feel her pain through the music. It was the blues… it was crying woman. I felt every shred of sorrow she encompassed through her voice. Etta, you will never be forgotten.
Rest… at last.
From Wikipedia: The Life of Etta James

Vintage Magazines: Hue Cover Girls
January 7, 2012 by Sonya Denise
As obviously noted, I have a slight obsession with vintage magazines. Hue is such a rare magazine that there’s not much info out there about it. Copies of this magazine are very scarce as well. A quick search on ebay will reveal zero results. If something is not readily available on ebay, then you know it’s a rare find. Despite all that, I’ve scoured the end of the internet to bring you a collection of rare Hue cover girls all in one place. This actually took quite a bit of time and research. Feel free to share these wonderful photos, but link to this post. This took months of searching. Enjoy!
“Hue Magazine was a publication of Johnson Publishing Company. It was a pocket entertainment news magazine published monthly durnig the 1950′s and feature black celebrities and newsmakers. Unlike Jet Magazine, Hue had a back cover and often used it to highlight aspiring actresses and models. The magazine also features a pin-up gallery with lots of photos of pretty girls. “

Circus Cikor
January 5, 2012 by 16stone
I want to walk down the street and shake people while yelling “Circus Cikor is coming!!!” I am a huge fan of this Swedish circus act. There are hardly words to describe the act as a whole. It was interesting, thrilling, shocking, and host of other bold adjectives. I saw the show back in 2010 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Since then, I haven’t forgot about the cast of zany and outright creepy characters. Circus Cikor has all the traditional circus acts like trapeze, jugglers, tumblers, and more. But I can bet you have never seen it like this. I was over the moon to find out they will be returning to BAM in June 2012. I highly recommend checking out the show.

Vintage New Years
December 31, 2011 by 16stone
Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
It’s funny as I embark on 2012 which I’m sure will be full splendor for me, I can’t help but look to the past for inspiration. Every New Year that begins starts with a look back on the my growth. 2011 was a great year for me. I got engaged to the man of my dreams, quit a job I hated, and spent quality time with friends and family. This set the tone for what I hope will be an even more enthralling 2012. My resolutions are set high and I’m going in focused and ready to progress further.

Vintage Music: Les Surfs
December 28, 2011 by 16stone
Les Surfs
I randomly came across this interesting singing group from the 1960′s called Les Surfs. The Rabaraona family singing group of six originally from Madagascar, found success singing French pop songs. They later recorded albums in Spanish as well. Monikya, the lead singer along with her sister Nicole and 4 of their brothers toured all over world and appearing on many tv shows. What I found so appealing about this group is that they had a number of music videos. We like to think music videos were not a popular thing until the late 1970′s or early 1980′s. However, Les Surfs provides quite the contrary with a quick search on youtube. Might I mention, all the members of Les Surfs were under 5 feet in height. Check out some footage of this incredible group.
