Wow. I had no idea. I didn't see the doc nor did I know it's Sean John's 10th anniversary. And not to romanticize the past either (I don't believe the grass was greener. I think it was simply a different shade of green. ;-), but...I do think black people had more self-respect in the pre-civil rights era, and it showed in the clothes. Thanks for this entry!
hugs,
Althea

This article gave me insight to Sean. Just from this article alone, I learned tidbits about his line and the person, Sean and why he does what he does and HOW he does it. The background character depiction on Sean is seen in his clothes and the person that he is. This was a great and informative article. Good looking out!

I agree! Nothing wrong with being grown and classy! But did you check out the website? What'sup with those t-shirts? I personally feel like the t-shirts throw off the line a little, but not necessarily the brand. The statements definately fit Combs personality, the good and bad!

I am excited that Sean Combs brand has become what it has. It is refreshing to see clothing geared to the African American crowd that doesn't scream. It's quiet and full of class. You gotta luv it!

Thanks so much, Marie!!!

What's even more interesting about brands is the non-thinking involved and how sometimes we are so brand-defined that we don't realize we're actually not thinking about them at all, they are simply saturated into our psyche, whether through family or cultural association. Weird, isn't it? I'll have more on that in the next post.

Thanks for all your support, love you too!

Phelia, you are a wonderful and very intelligent and well read young lady. This story made me think about brands and how they do define us. You are so very right. I wish you all the best, and you know that. I love you with all of my heart, and there is no where for you to go but up. I love you much!! Congrats, sweetie!!

What a great idea! I will be logging in regularly. I enjoyed your writings as a young girl. Remember the play you wrote for us church sisters at Mt. Moriah in Seattle-Missionaries Impossible? I wanted to believe that it was fiction but some of our characteristics come through loud and clear :). All the best to you.
