I always get excited when I see that my mail carrier has shoved a few magazines into my mail slot. Usually, the only titles that completely snuff out that feeling are Harper's Bazaar and NYLON. I don't know what I was thinking when I subscribed to HB. I think I picked up two issues in a row at the newsstand that seemed decent and just ran with it. Since I've started getting it in the mail, I just haven't been impressed. As for NYLON...well, I've already written about how lousy that hipster rag is. That said, this month's "television" issue isn't completely terrible. I posted an image yesterday from an article about HBO's new show "True Blood" that featured actress Rutina Wesley and there are a few short blurbs in it that reference black TV icons like Claire and Denise Huxtable. I think I've mentioned before just how much I loved Denise when I was younger and I think they've done a good job here capturing her unique style. When I think of all the generic label obsessed teen drama like "Gossip Girls," it makes me appreciate Denise's carefully crafted look. Personally, I could never pull it off as oversized jackets and brooches make me look like the black guy from "Designing Women."

That "black guy" is Anthony, AKA Mesach Taylor.

LOL! Denise was always funky and strangely interesting. Pretty good job @ capturing her 80's style. Damn! Has it been that long?
When I was a pup, folks would tell me I had a style like Denise Huxtable all the time. I took it as a compliment, cause I thought she was fly...and I take it as even more of a compliment today, 20years later.
I used to LOVE Denise back in the day and I still do now. She used to be a real inspiration to me and a silent source of support when eyebrows were raised at some of my fashion choices. I wouldn't say I dressed like her, but she helped give me the guts to dress to the beat of my own drum.
