Every time I look at this picture it makes me smile.  Baby Phat president/ creative director Kimora Lee (Japanese & African American) looks absolutely radiant with her new husband Djimon Hounsou (Benin, West African).

Their baby is so deliciously cute.  This might be a sign that I need to start a separate blog just for the offspring of our featured couples. Baby Nouveau?

I love when high fashion meets thespian…

…Because Love and Inspiration come in all Hues.

Unless you’ve been marooned to a remote cavern, you’re aware of the devastation that has plagued Haiti, leaving thousands of families displaced, deceased and injured.  Yet, despite it all, we still find stories of hope and promise in the chants of the people.  There are still survival stories, 8 days after the earthquake.

Earlier this week a particular news story had me floored.  Neurosurgeon, CNN correspondent, Professor and one-time nominee for Surgeon General – Dr. Sanjay Gupta, examined a 15-day old baby from head injuries, and it was captured live.  The baby’s mother had perished in the quake and the father distraught.   Now, there have been many more stories told, but that particular segment had me in tears, as I held my now, 6-week old daughter in my arms.

Here’s to Dr. Sanjay Gupta and all the other doctors, nurses, firemen, police officers, missionaries and volunteers doing what they can on the ground in Haiti.

Also, this Friday there’ll be a star studded two-hour telethon called HOPE FOR HAITI NOW, broadcast worldwide and commercial-free

You may know him (among many other roles) as Alfred in the blockbuster – Dark Knight, with Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger.  Yes I’m talking about  Michael Caine!  Certainly one of the most re known performers our time, who’s career spans over 40 years.

What you many not know is that he’s been with wife Shakira Caine, former British model  of Indian and Guyanese descent, for over 35 years…

Sometimes, the most intimate moments sing the loudest love songs.  Just one of the many things I love about mixing it up:-)

English Rocker and Somalian Icons make for gorgeous vintage photos.
