Princess Dominique Dishes Fashion

Blogging since 2004, Princess Dominique has made a name for herself in fashion. They call her “A savvy cocktail of fashion and relationship advice,” “a chocolate Carrie Bradshaw,” with the, “ILL shoe game!”. Princess Dominique rules her empire from the beaches of South Jersey, owns Princess Dominique Dishes Fashion, obviously has an insane shoe fetish and would have a difficult time time selecting a favorite shoe designer if you put her on the spot.
Although her personal style leans more towards vintage, she love corset tops, is smitten with princess seam dresses and prefers to pair her well-worn jeans with a baby tee and 4-5 in heels. She shares that people often go broke when they shop because they get the wrong idea about fashion. She says, “fashion isn’t about buying the most expensive designer duds, it’s about learning the difference between overpriced items and quality products.”

She recently introduced a new category to her popular blog titled, “Cupcake Fashion” because she believes that fashion is art and some cupcakes taste so good they should be art, which should come as no surprise because she is a trendstarter who love cupcakes. She doesn’t think she’ll have to plead with readers to keep an eye on that particular category.

Sexy shoes at illegal heel heights, sweltering hot brand launches, male shoe swag too and store opening as well as which celebs are endorsing what products, don’t miss a single giveaway. Log on to Princess Dominique Dishes Fashion and subscribe to receive weekly fabulousness to your inbox. Eat the tastiest fashion today, lick your fingers later.

Wha Cho Name IS?

Wha Cho Name IS?

What is your brand? What sets you apart? How do people remember you? What makes your brand special and unique? Have you ever followed a phenomenon simply because it was a phenomenon? For example, Drake-“Drizzle” is the shit because he’s the Drake-“Drizzle” phenomenon. Oprah said print out coupons and take your ass to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and that became the free-chicken phenomenon. Nike said you should “Just Do It,” and all of a sudden the bold Just-Do-It international phenomenon commenced. The amazing artist Fahamu Pecou said he was “The SHIT”;which he is, and now we have the “Fahamu Pecou is the Shit” phenomenon. If a vehicle or a movement says that something or someone is hot, we instantaneously watch, consume, and support it regardless. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or not, as long as the brand is right...As long as we know the name!

So, “wha cho name is”? Why does it matter? Branding has become increasingly important to our society’s cultural, buying and lifestyle patterns. Regardless of the quality, branding is what attracts people, and sometimes makes them stay. Now, quality isn’t completely thrown out of the window; however, it’s becoming equally essential to have both great branding and excellent quality.

Nevertheless, there are instances where quality sometimes screams out, and main-stream branding is overshadowed by something or someone worth supporting. Some amazing artists I support, regardless to the amount of commercialization (or branding) they’ve received, are Laura Izibor, N'Dambi, Foreign Exchange, Leaf, Jazzspects, Algebra, Eric Robinson and Omar, but let’s not forget the most essential aspect of this blurb. Something sets them apart. I remember them. I know their name...and that brings us back to...
WHA CHO NAME IS?

WHEN YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, YOU'LL EITHER FIND IT OR CREATE IT OR BOTH. THE QUESTION BECOMES WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AND WHY?

Have you ever dreamed of being a painter, archaeologist, dancer, egyptologist, architect, singer, paleontologist, musician, theologist... Only to wake up living the mundane life that you've allowed to become your day to day existence. I am personally challenging myself and everyone that I know to start today.. Create and Follow your Bliss! You have the power within yourself to do and be exactly what you want for yourself.

"You are painting a picture - you have the skills, the paint, the brushes, and the canvas in this space-time continuum. There is nothing to fix, nothing to be careful of or anxious about, except that which you believe to be true..." - Terah

"To dream it and not plan is self-limiting. To plan and not do it is self destructive."

ZON3

ZON3
Emerging from Atlanta, the formation of ZON3 was a destined to happen. Three seasoned musicians found themselves doing session work together, gigging together, and eventually, even playing together at the same church. Jeremy Haynes was asked to do a small showcase for Paiste Cymbals. He decided to ask the two musicians that he had been working shoulder to shoulder with to accompany him to the showcase in Nashville, Tennessee. They needed some material to play live at the showcase, quickly writing and recording two songs to perform at the showcase. The trio of musicians which include drummer Jeremy Haynes, bassist Jermaine “Ray” Hall, and keyboardist Kevin “Griff’ Griffin, soon discovered a certain "chemistry" and musical affinity that led to their formation of ZON3. Upon returning home from the Nashville they composed, arranged and produced ZON3’s debut album.
