“This AA Pioneer Is Today’s Mr. Fashionista”

The ReadyWriter

His name is Ira J. Perry, a stylist and the real definition of today’s fashionista.

Ira’s motto, which is one that he lives by, and that is “I am fashion”

“I really like connecting to people through clothing” Ira said during our phone conversation, “doctors do it by being hands on, some artist do it through song but for me it’s all about your wardrobe”.

“Wardrobe-ing someone through clothing is my thing because I have an eye for detail.” “Fashion is my life, my love and my passion.”

Ira works with both men and women within his clientele and as a straight man, he can appreciate styling both sexes however he said “He can always appreciate seeing a well-dressed sexy woman.”

Mr. Perry gravitated toward fashion because, fashion was his environment growing up as a kid.

We came from a well dressed family; which is why Ira can appreciate fashion and style.  

Mr. Fashionista is not only my cousin and my heart, but he drove his fashion point home, when he reminded me why, we love the movie “Mahogany” so much and how Diana Ross’ fashion was so on point! 

He talked about the fashion in that movie, particularly the scene when Tracy Chambers (Diana Ross’ character), walked into that fashion agency wearing the flared fitted dress, with the cape and wide brim hat; carrying a clutch wearing the pumps to match.

We both agreed, fashion such as Diana Ross’ wardrobe in Mahogany, may only be found today in thrift shops. Ira knows this, because he thrift shop (s) as often as he can.

Currently working in a corporate setting as a fashion consultant, Ira is based in New York city and affiliated with the Thomas Faison Agency.

He has previously worked with individuals such as, “Kiss the DJ”, “Master of the mix”, a recent reality series and many other high-end associates.

You can read more about Ira’s work and his creativity at his blogspots here and the morning dish – Both sites have been added to this forum.

Please join me in saluting, Ira Jacques Perry, as a modern-day pioneer and today’s fashionista!

“Charlie Sheen’s Been Sober For All Of What?”

The ReadyWriter

5 minutes maybe? Yet he’s speaking out to the media about his sobriety already, yeah ok…It takes more than 5 days to undo years of alcohol and drug abuse., so who’s he trying to convince?

The 45-year-old actor is set to be in rehab treatment “at home” for the next three months.  

In the meantime, production has been shut down on “Two and a Half Men” since January after Sheen had been partying at home with porn stars that led to him being hospitalized.

Sheen made two phone calls into “The Dan Patrick Show” yesterday and was asked if he had ever been drunk on the set of the CBS comedy.

“The shape I was showing up in was epic, was beyond comprehension,” he said. “[I’ve] never been drunk, never been high on the set once. But I would show up not having slept much.”

He recalled“doing a network run-through and asking the director, Jamie, to move my mark a little bit, so I could be next to a piece of furniture or a table, so I wouldn’t fall over. “That is an expert move by a seasoned professional,” Sheen continued. “I’m sorry, an amateur stays on his mark and then falls over during the run-through.”

Sheen has been nothing but more of a liability to CBS in my opinion., when Warner Bros. has syndication commitments to stations around the country. And Warner and CBS also have commitments to Sheen, who bragged about that to Patrick.

Charlie Sheen’s track record of reprehensible acts, continue to grow and CBS should be wise, break his contract, kick him to the curb and kill him off of the show.

Halle Berry Wins Latest Round in Custody War

The ReadyWriter

According to TMZ.com, a judge ruled in favor of Halle Berry, taking her 2-year-old daughter Nahla to New York where she is filming a movie. The judge disagreed with Gabriel Aubry’s argument that Halle’s work was prohibiting him from co-parenting their child.

As a result, Aubry, withdrew his custody petition in court today.

Sources tell TMZ … Gabriel was trying to block Halle from going to NYC to shoot “New Year’s Eve” — the movie from which she withdrew in order to deal with her custody issues over Nahla.

After hearing arguments this morning from both sides — as Halle looked on — the judge gave her the green light to travel to New York with her kid. We’ve learned she won’t take back the role that was given to Katherine Heigl, but she’ll play another character in the movie.

Halle’s lawyer, Neal Hersh, tells TMZ, “We are pleased the judge took the time to deal with this very imminent and important issue. The judge read a great deal of paperwork and gave us time to argue.”

Hersh added, “Halle is very pleased with the judge’s order.”

“Is This Michelle Obama Cartoon Racist?”

The ReadyWriter

The cartoon, released on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government site last weekend, depicts Michelle Obama as overweight and chowing down on a bunch of hamburgers while she talks about her campaign to promote healthy eating.

Our President, Barack Obama is drawn with huge, outsized ears and tells her, that her campaign is going to hurt his re-election efforts. “Shut up and pass the bacon!” she replies.

Lawrence O’Donnell condemned the controversial cartoon of Michelle Obama, calling it a “racist obscenity” O’Donnell would only show one panel of the cartoon, and not show the rest of it.

“Because it is a racist obscenity.” In his view, President Obama was depicted “in a half man, half animal form, with ears that don’t exist in the homo sapien species.”

Are we being too sensitive on this subject? Or are President Obama’s critics being blatantly disrespectful??

🙂 Sorry for the late post people, my day is running into overtime.

“Cops Cleared In The Murder Of Danroy Henry”

The ReadyWriter

The Pace University Football Player who was shot while waiting for friends outside of a bar in Mount Pleasant, New York.

A Westchester grand jury has cleared two police officers of any criminality in the controversial shooting death last year of a Pace University football player, prosecutors said today.

The Westchester County DA’s office said the probe, where more than 400 people were interviewed, yielded no indictments by the grand jury into the tragic death of Danroy Henry, Jr., on Oct. 17 outside a Mount Pleasant bar.

After hearing testimony and examining ballistics and toxicology reports, the grand jury declined to indict Officer Aaron Hess, who said he fired his gun to protect himself from the path of Henry’s car.

Officer Ronald Beckley, who also fired at Henry’s vehicle, was also cleared of any wrongdoing.

Investigators later determined that Henry had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 — way above the state legal limit of .08 — when he was killed.

The DA said the investigation was conducted in coordination with three other law enforcement agencies, including the NY State Police, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Identification Unit and the Mount Pleasant Police Department.
