Pittsburgh’s Got Fashion – July 2010

by Sabrina R.  Clark   ‘Soul Stylista’

JULY being the month of my birth must be why I’m always so HOT!!!  That must also be why when it comes to this time of year I want to strip down to nearly my “birthday suit”.  So if you’re like me and can’t take the heat, or you LOVE IT…here are my HOTTEST fashion picks to keep you looking cool this Summer!!!

The Romper is back in after all these years…I remember wearing those when I was like, what? 5 years old?!?!?!  Come on I know some of you are right with me!  But this is one of those fashion comebacks that I can say I WOULD wear again, it’s cute, it’s fun and oh so breezy!!!

Sandals, ladies there are so many cute sandals out this year from gladiators to ruffles, to studs…there’s no excuse for walking around in plain rubber flip flops, not even on the beach!!!  There are stylish sandals for all ages whether high heeled or flats, your feet should be sitting pretty this season.

Handbags, pick your color!!!  Pick a color that will stand out wherever you go and stick with it!  Invest in a nice bag whether it be leather or faux leather and let that be your bag of the summer.  It’s played out to have the same color bag as your clothes or outfit!  I know with so many wonderful colors out this summer like the Regal Royal Blue Hobo it’s hard to pick just one!  But it can get pretty expensive if you’re like me and have to have them all!  (I’m sorry I can’t take my own advice, variety and coordination is an illness).

Bohemian Style is always HOT & Sexy!  A nice layered sultry necklace like this one with all the hues of summer such as coral & turquoise is the perfect accent to any outfit to spice it up!!!

A) Baby Phat Asymmetrical Blousant Sleeve Romper w/Self Belt  $49.99.  B) Jessica Simpson Women’s Ganga T-Strap Wedge sandal  $68.95.  C) Savvy Chic Bags Blue Hobo with Croc and Silver Accents $69.00.  D)  Boutique la Passerelle Bohemian Inspired Beaded & Chained Necklace. $18.00

Kuntu Repertory Theater’s production of “Raisin”

By Monica Hayes for TheSoulPitt.com 


Kuntu Repertory Theater’s production of “Raisin”, the musical version of Lorraine Hansberry’s classic play,  “Raisin in the Sun,”  is a family affair for actress/writer Kim El, her sister, actress/make-up artist Cheryl El-Walker and her nephew, actor Emmanuel Luke Walker.

El is assistant director/stage manager for the production while El-Walker tackles the role of wife and mother Ruth Younger and her real-life son,  12-year-old Emmanuel, portrays Travis,  her character’s son.

The show is in its last weekend, Thursday through Sat. 8 p.m. at University of Pittsburgh’s Alumni Hall. The original “Raisin” won a Tony and starred Ralph Carter, aka Michael on “Good Times”, as Travis.

It’s not the first time, El, El-Walker and Emmanuel, have been in a production together (El and her nephew played mother and son in “The Legend of the Black Mariner while El-Walker portrayed another character in the same production). However, it is the first time El has had the opportunity to tell her younger sister and nephew what to do on stage.

The Soul Show, WYEP, 91.3fm (Saturday’s)

The Soul Show, WYEP, 91.3fm
The Soul Show with Stephen Chatman and Mike Canton
Saturday’s from 2 PM—5 PM

The Soul Show is a unique concept that was conceived to provide listeners with a blend of funk, R&B, disco, ballads, jazz and other music from the 60’s through the 80’s.  The show also provides its listeners with information on the artists from those periods, and gives updates on their current status. There is also unique humor and weird trivia added to jog the listeners memories on “what was I doing at that time?”, “who was I with?”, etc.

The Soul Show is a fantastic voyage back down memory lane with the funkiest DJs on the radio, Stephen Chatman, and his partner, Michael Canton. If it was played back in the day, they’ll find it and play it again.

REVIEW – Black Out© at Hard Rock Café

We had a GREAT old school time last night at Blackout this Thursday (April 24th) at the Hard Rock Cafe’…that night however it was transformed into the Hard Rock “Black” Cafe’ as we turned the place out!  DJ Nate the Phat Barber on the 1’s and 2’s and Laptop :) was taking us from Salt n’ Pepa’s push it to Michael Jackson’s P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing).  The Soul Pitt Scramble Board was jumping with lines of folks trying to win a prize and we had 3 winners in the new “Name that Old School Song”.  Thanks to all of the sponsors who supported this event. The roof was on fire and we didn’t need any water.  Weaves were sweated out, bald fades were glistening and people who hadn’t danced like that in years were on the floor.  Thanks for coming out and for those that had a hard time getting up for work the next morning – Hey, at least it was worth it!  Click here for the pics
