Dresscode202, designed by Patrise C.
Last night we had the pleasure of meeting designer Patrise, who moved to Syracuse from Washington, DC. She showed a portion of her Dresscode202 collection for Day 2 of Syracuse Fashion Week, which was held at the Redhouse.
What’s your dress code?

Shout out to the guys at Lombardi’s Imports on Butternut St., one of our favorite small food shops, for helping us pick out a gift that told a good story.

Entrepreneur and Rev. A.R. Bernard of Brooklyn visited Syracuse over the weekend and pointed out these four qualities that make a good leader:
Pastor Bernard, who was speaking at Abundant Life Christian Center, said maturity begins with the acceptance of responsibility, not with age, and that our leaders need to make decisions quickly and confidently (guided by values and principles). He also said leaders must avoid distractions.
And strength, he added, is mostly demonstrated in kindness.

Swoop: Ball Tricks
James Brown had nothing on Dwayne Swoop Simpson. The triple-zero uniform-wearing entertainer for the Harlem Wizards is officially the “hardest working man in show business (at the Fair).”
For the past week, we saw Simpson do tricks, teach salsa lessons, play some great classic soul and rock music as a DJ, drum up business for local vendors, take photographs with fans, nearly get a double-double in wheelchair basketball, and just plain make a vocation look like fun outside the Sports Activity Center.
On this Labor Day, we salute his work ethic.
