Deaf History Month 2012: Foxy Brown Suffers Loss, Bounces Back -- Video
Filed under: Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop News, Exclusive
Michael Loccisano, Getty Images
The day after she posed for a XXL cover shoot with Jay-Z, LeBron James and Kanye West, Foxy revealed that she'd lost all hearing in both ears. Rather than expose her ailment, she went on to self-medicate for four months before disclosing her handicap to the masses. Granted she had ear surgery the following year and made a complete recovery, but for 12 months, the 'Ill Na Na' creator had to rely on those around her in the studio to tap her shoulder to the rhythm. She had gone deaf but that didn't stop her from working as if she could hear every snare, strum and cadence.
In honor of Deaf History Month -- March 13 to April 15 -- The BoomBox highlights the work of the MC who was once deaf. While we showcase noteworthy tracks from her own catalog, there are past collaborations as well. The rhymer faced trials and tribulations after enduring hearing loss, yet, in her own words, she was able to remain positive with support from her fans: "Through the rise and the fall, I love y'all."

How-To Hair: Jessica Chastain's Oscar Hair
Actress Jessica Chastain looked stunning at the Oscar's, from her gorgeous gown, down to her romantic curls. We caught up with celebrity stylist Jenny Cho, who created Jessica's look for the evening. Her inspiration for Jessica was to give the whole look a romantic feel that was free and easy with a slight, sexy bump in the crown. Here's how to get her same look at home:
1. Spray Suave Professionals Volumizing Root Boost Spray at roots of tresses and layer a dollop of Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Leave-in Conditioner for heat protection and smooth, manageable hair. Blow dry with a round brush for volume.
2. Starting from the nape, separate hair in sections. Spray each portion with a lightweight hold hairspray and curl with a large two-inch curling iron. When curling strands near the face, curl hair away from face.
3. Next, tease the crown of hair for height and spray with the lightweight hold hairspray to secure tresses. Smooth the very top layer of hair for a polished finish. Pull back the section of hair just below the crown and pin, bringing one side back at a time into a half way french twist.
4. Loosen up the curls with a drop of Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum for shine and smooth style. Complete the look by misting hairspray for hold.

Joyful vintage Chinese New Year wishes!
Unique amongst the animals used in the classic Chinese zodiac as being the only one that is mythical, the dragon begins its reign with today's arrive of the Chinese New Year.
Though I'm not Chinese myself, like many people, I enjoy celebrating this winter festival nevertheless and have long delighted in watching dragon parades, fireworks shows, and other festivities that were put in by the local Chinese communities in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario. (Not to mention whipping up a tasty Asian inspired feast to further celebrate this special day!)
{A cute youngster holders what appears to be a string of firecrackers in front of the mouth on a large dragon costume in this fantastic vintage Chinese New Year's photo from 1937. Image via carbonated on Flickr.}
Like each of the one dozen creatures assigned to the Chinese zodiac, the dragon appears once every twelve years. It is said that those who are born in the year of the dragon are often ambitious, passionate and successful risk takers who are not afraid of challenge or change.
While I wasn't born under the sign of the dragon, there's something quaintly charming about extending to those same traits to the type of year that one hopes lies ahead, as well as to how they carry out their own lives.
Metaphorically, I'll soon be taking to the skies like a dragon to travel across the country and settle in British Columbia, all the while tackling change and challenge with passion - and I hope - a great deal of success.
Likewise, I hope that this brand new year in the Chinese calendar will bring success, happiness and positive change into each of your lives too, dear friends.
Here's to a fabulous year ahead for all of us! Gong Xi Fa Ca!

Rock & Republic for Kohl's Lookbook
Here's a peak at the Rock & Republic for Kohl's look book, which relaunched this month. The line features the same rocker attitude, but at prices us budget fashionistas love. Typically a pair of Rock & Republic jeans at Bloomingdale's would sell anywhere for $300 and up, but at Kohl's they start at $80 (and I'm sure they'll be on sale). The line also features sequined camis, graphic tees and embellished tops ranging from $36-$48 as well as dresses, moto-jackets and there's even talks that they might expand into accessories.
What do you think of the line? Will you be checking it out?

Lenny Kravitz Wants Clean Water Around The World
Lenny Kravitz is throwing his support behind the global push by UNICEF and its partners to help save and improve the lives of millions of children and their families around the world by providing them with access to clean water and adequate sanitation.
“I was born in New York City and have always taken access to clean water as a given,” said Kravitz. “No child should die of diarrhea from drinking dirty water. That thousands of children under the age of five continue to die every day because they lack clean water and basic sanitation is simply unacceptable.”
UNICEF announced yesterday that the world has met the Millennium Development Goal for drinking water, with 89 percent of the global population now with access. However, that still leaves more than 780 million people, mainly in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, without access. In addition, around 2.5 billion people?almost half the developing world’s population?lack access to improved sanitation. This all adds up to bad news for the children who are being left behind.
Kravitz will be appearing in Public Service Announcements and take to Twitter and Facebook with a message that all children can?and must?have access to clean water and adequate sanitation. Kravitz, who recently released the album ‘Black and White America’, and who will be starring in ‘The Hunger Games’ later this month, is joining forces with UNICEF to help mark World Water Day (March 22) and will send a global message of the importance of investing in children and providing them with clean water and sanitation.
In the United States, Kravitz will be lending his support for the UNICEF Tap Project by encouraging his fans and dining patrons across the country to pay $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free during World Water Week, March 19 ? 25. With $1, UNICEF can provide a child with access to clean, safe water for 40 days, or 40 children with access to safe water for one day. Funds raised through the 2012 UNICEF Tap Project will provide children and families with clean drinking water in Viet Nam, Togo, Mauritania and Cameroon.
Poor sanitation, water and hygiene have serious repercussions on a child’s health, often causing diarrhea and other easily preventable diseases. Children, particularly girls, often miss school, because they are responsible for gathering water for their families, which can require many hours of their time. In addition, many schools lack private and decent sanitation facilities for girls, causing them to drop out of school. Without safe water, sanitation, and good hygiene, sustainable development is difficult to achieve.
Since 1990, UNICEF, governments and partners, have helped more than 2 billion people gain access to improved water sources and 1.8 billion people gain access to improved sanitation facilities. The efforts include drilling wells and installing water pumps, helping communities build latrines and teaching lifesaving hygiene to schoolchildren and mothers, and providing safe water and sanitation to communities during emergencies.

Megan Fox An Archaeologist?
Can you imagine her as an archaeologist?
Megan Fox made a somewhat shocking revelation during an interview with MTV that if Hollywood isn�t working out for her, "I would really love to go on an archaeological dig.�
And no, she ain�t joking.
"I have an offer to go somewhere in England, but I would rather go to Egypt or Syria or some place like that,� revealed the Transformers star. But don�t worry, fans. You�ll still get to see her on the big screen as she is currently promoting her latest movie Friends With Kids with Bridesmaids stars Kirsten Wiig and Maya Rudolph.
Megan recently revealed on The Ellen Show that she was a �fruit� before becoming a Hollywood star. She said: "My only real job that I ever had was, I worked at a little smoothie shop in Florida. I mostly worked behind the register, but once a week, usually on Fridays, someone had to dress up as a fruit and go out and stand by the highway � I was a banana. A giant banana."
Watch to see how a giant banana frightened Megan during her Ellen interview.

Who Did Whitney Houston Leave All Her Wealth To?
Everything she had is now her daughter's
Whitney Houston's will was just released and it names Bobbi Kristina as the sole recipient of all the assets. Yes, all the money, cars, jewellery, furniture, clothing and any other personal effects, reports Inside Edition.
Her ex, Bobby Brown gets zero and her mum, Cissy Houston is named executor. However, if Bobbi Kristina had died before Whitney did, the wealth would have been shared among Bobby, Cissy and other relatives.
Anyway, since Bobbi Kristina is just 19, the money will be placed in a trust until she reaches the age of 21. She will receive a sum of money four years later and the remainder will be given to her when she is 30.

Bonkers for Apparatus Lighting Design
I am absolutely bonkers for the the above lighting pieces that are from Apparatus Studio. To me the pieces are a perfect marriage of modern meets vintage. These light fixtures were born when designers Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson started playing around with vintage lighting components. Aged brass, painted glass and found objects assembled by hand to create eclectic, utilitarian fixtures. I love that these pieces still look so fresh and current. Can we talk about the styling of these photos?? May be due to the fact that Gabriel Hendifar's interior design work has been featured in Elle Decor.

5 Casual Rings for Daytime Style Looks
If you’re a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills you pretty much wear crazy extravagant diamond rings all the time. But for most of us, a casual ring for daytime or the weekend means it’s simple, inexpensive, and will match whatever you’re wearing. Additionally, it doesn’t steal too much attention from a look, so you don’t have to compete with it. Look for simple sterling silver or gold rings. A great detail can include a matte finish or a hammered finish.

Angelina Jolie presented writer Jim Rash his Oscar for Adapted Screenplay for ?The Descendants? on Sunday night.
Jolie, Crystal appearances have tongues wagging at Oscars.
Then Rash paid her back by aping her strange ?you put your right leg in? Hokey Pokey Oscar pose, which she had demonstrated on both the red carpet and as a presenter.
Oscar red carpet style: So hot, or so not?
So was it a diss, or an homage?
?I had just seen her pose and thought it was bold and fun,? he told the Hollywood Reporter backstage. ?And you know what? We have exactly the same legs! Really, it was a loving tribute and nothing but.?
Did JLo pop out of her Oscar top?
But it doesn?t stop there. Jolie?s leg has also spawned its own Twitter account, and it?s an instant hit.
The Twitter feed dubbed ?Angie?s Right Leg? has more than 12,000 followers by midday Monday.
Sample tweets include ?I?m a leg!? and ?Look at the leg!?
The Oscars are different than they used to be.

Ten of the UK's best vintage reproduction clothing sources
After a month filled with much online vintage shopping (or at least a ton of virtual window shopping and a bit of buying) ,as I go about trying to fill in many of the gaps in my wardrobe, it seems fitting to wrap up the very last day of January with a post that ties into that fact.
On the other side of the giant pond, the fine folks in the UK know a thing or two about vintage reproduction clothing. In fact, I'd tentatively argue that the UK has more vintage repro clothing sellers than the US, and certainly more good ol' Canada (which is woefully lacking in this area).
For those vintage fashionistas who live in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, I'd imagine that this must be ultra handy and a great way to regularly update your closet with excellent old school style threads.
So long as we're willing to face somewhat steep exchange rates however, those of us outside of Europe can often avail of the products such UK vintage reproduction retailers offer online. In the past couple of months I've placed my first ever (but very long anticipated) orders with two such sellers, and had sparklingly wonderful transactions with both.
As such, I decided to put together a list of ten vintage reproduction clothing sellers, including the two I've ordered from myself (Freddies of Pinewood and Heyday Vintage, both of which had excellent customer service), as I know many of you are also continually on the prowl for good quality reproduction/vintage inspired styles from our favourite mid-twentieth century decades.
Here then is a roundup of ten terrific vintage reproduction clothing sellers from the UK. Happy wish list making and online shopping!
Big Beautiful Barbara Brown: Offers a wide selection of 1920s - 50s reproduction garments, plus some rockabilly wear, and even a handful of 60s and 70s styles, too. Vintage inspired pieces include high waisted trousers, playsuits, skirts, tops, suits, dresses (such as the darling ruffle sleeved Flirty Thirties frock pictured above), and shorts. Most items are available in an assortment of different types fabric and/or patterns in a wide array of sizes, and are made on a per-order basis.
Dolly Dagger: All sorts of delightful vintage inspired and rockabilly styles abound at this fun site, which houses skirts, jeans, dresses, sweaters (like the wonderfully cute Nautical Nancy sweater shown above) shoes, stockings, swimwear, coats, purses, jewelry, hair accessories, and much more.
Freddies of Pinewood: Known the vintage repro loving world over for their top-notch selection of both women's and men's denim (such as the classic side button jeans shown here), Freddie's also offers customers shirts, jackets, capri pants, overalls (dungarees), and accessories.
Heyday Vintage: Housing a roundup of really lovely 1940s and 50s inspired dresses, trousers, tops, and suits, Heyday is one of the vintage world's most loved sources of reproduction sites. I recently ordered their Fleur wrap dress (named after, and model by, well-known vintage blogger Fleur from Diary of a Vintage Girl) in the English Rose on white pattern and cannot gush about it enough!
Lady K Loves: To quote the homepage of this site itself, Lady K Love features "high quality clothes for rockabilly gals, pin up chicks, and kool katz". While many styles do channel an alluring pin-up vibe, others such as the 1940s inspired Rosie trousers shown here, have a somewhat more "every day" feel to them.
Puttin on the Ritz: With a name that instantly evokes images of chic, fabulously fashionable vintage nightlife, this high end vintage reproduction clothing seller offers a striking array of beautiful dresses, blouses, jackets, skirts, trousers, suits, coats (like the timelessly pretty April in Paris coat pictured here), eveningwear, and accessories, as well as a selection of garments for gentlemen, too.
Revival: With areas devoted to styles from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, plus swing dance and men's wear, too, Revival's assortment of old school inspired clothing and shoes is sure to provide you with a few new must-have items. If ever I wanted to tap into my inner 1920s flapper gal, I'd be highly tempted to pick up Revival's vibrant red Tango Dress shown above.
Tara Starlet: Boasting a highly pretty gathering of feminine vintage inspired looks in the form of dresses, tops, skirts (such as the wonderfully wearable Victory Skirt shown here in red and white houndstooth), playsuits, party dresses, bottoms, suits, outerwear, accessories, and more, Tara Starlet's pieces are just the ticket when you're in the mood to mix demure and alluring.
20th Century Foxy: Chocked full of pieces spanning looks from the 30s to 60s, this site is a vintage reproduction clothing lover's dream and includes items as diverse as crinolines (aka, petticoats, like the ruby red number shown here) to knitwear, hosiery to shoes, dresses, headwear, hair flowers, separates, coats and much more.
Vivian of Holloway: Undoubtedly one of the web's best known vintage reproduction sellers, Vivian of Holloway's inviting selection includes a bounty of dresses, tops, skirts, trousers, and accessories (such as snoods, jewelry, flowers, belts, and petticoats). I'm particularly smitten with their pinafore trousers in blue denim highlighted in the image here.
? ? ?
This list certainly does not cover every last seller (be they a company or individual) who is currently producing vintage inspired garments in the UK, but it's a great jumping off point if you're looking to do some overseas shopping.
As time rolls on, I hope to shop with all of the sellers listed above, and would absolutely love to hear about your own experiences with these (and/or any other) online UK vintage reproduction sellers.
Oh, and should any of you happen to be, or know of, Canadian repro sources for 40s and 50s garments, definitely feel free to spill the beans!
