The Evolution (fashion) of Alicia Keys

Hey Everyone,

As we all know Alicia Keys' Album, As I Am, comes out tomorrow ("if ya don't know, now ya know") and what better way to celebrate than to talk about the evolution of her style.

Like the growth that can be heard in her music, you can see the style growth in her fashion. More dresses and pants, less jeans and t-shirts. Either look, she has always been fabulous (i know how to spell).



See the Evolution


When she was fresh to the music biz, she had a real tom-boyish style. Don't get me wrong, it was tom-boy, but still real cute. Almost ghetto fab with the cornrows goin back and beads at the ends.
Keys had an Aaliyah (r.i.p) style going on there.
(the fully dressed and still sexy)

Now she has the sophisticated look going on mixed with a funky, eclectic style. At all the awards shows, she's in form complimenting dresses, heels and no longer has the cornrows.

She has such a grown up style, I Love It. A++

Before I go, don't forget to buy As I Am (not the bootleg).

Hell No, We won't....EAT!!!??? ... Part 2

Day 6.... The Columbia students who are on "Hunger Strike" mean business. The five is, for the moment, down to four (one member had to be rushed to the hospital). However, the attention and showcase of peaceful demonstration is gaining a strong, vocal following. The student group behind this, has organized ways to support them.















Here is a statement sent via their Facebook group message:

"Other ways you can support include signing our petition if you have not done so already (http://www.petitiononline.com/kwzchen/petition.html), coming out to our vigils, which are held every night at 9pm at the Sundial, donating water, blankets, pillows, sleeping bags or flashlights, and telling all your friends, listeners and professors about the strike and the demands."

The students on campus have been participating in events for the "Hunger Strike", including Marching to Lee Bollinger's (President of Columbia) house, Candle light Vigils, a growing Facebook group, the support of Faculty, and the biggest...setting up Negotiations with the schools hierarchy

here are some pictures of the scene around campus below:
