It has been proclaimed that I shall be called “B.” from now on, not because of being a Beyonce’ fan or the simple fact that my campus alias is
RandyB.“. I feel that there is no need for the extra, B. says nothing and so much at the time, like I feel my daily fashion and demeanor does.

The array of photos above speaks about my lifestyle and how I conduct myself. The essentials of studying difficult coursework of academia, consuming fine cuisine, and presenting yourself in a professional yet fashionable manner; I make my mark in my surroundings.

TheBlaqueBook, is just not a styling council brand but it is an embodiment of luxurious scenery, and artistry that ultimately has gained respect within the southeastern region and beyond. TheBlaqueBook staff believes and thoroughly supports Javan and myself vision for the future.

I just wanted to give a little insight on how I view the world, how intricately involved I am in campus relations, and just show my photos for the viewers to peruse.

Grammys 2012

Bruno Mars & John Legend were timeless and classic with their ensembles for this magical night, where all of the “who’s who” of the music industry and other acclaimed individuals gathered to celebrate their musical achievements. Especially, Mr. Legend with the “Espresso” colored “brownish” ensemble with black furnishings and it works. Most people think you can’t push the limits of blacks and browns, here is was done to perfection.Left to Right.

Rihanna teamed up with her friend, the Giorgio Armani to create this simplistic yet stunning black gown. Enough skin just to create that undeniable sex appeal on so many different levels.

Taylor Swift, what can I say? She embodied a classic European haute couture look. The craftsmanship of the gown was absolutely amazing. However, I do think this dress on someone else would have been “to die for”.

Alicia Keys, wore a a black number with a embellishing gold neck piece. I’m not sure if it was apart of the dress or not, but I approve of it.

Jessie J, is a enchanting metallic gown. I actually heard her discuss the weight of the garments from the sequins. I’m sure the craftsmanship met with the quality of the gown.

Left to Right.

Carrie Underwood, the epitome of a classic beauty. I was worried about the dress at first because I felt that she would be completely covered, but the back of the dress was just enough for an evening at the Grammys.

Corinne Bailey Rae, looks amazing in the black dress number. The layers and the texture of the fabric makes this dress great, along with the hair and makeup.

Fergie. I saw when Fergie discussed her haute couture “flow in” Jean Paul Gaultier lace, see-through gown with Ryan Seacrest. I must say and this is a look that you either completely love or that you just dont like. I feel that it was a risk and she came out on top.

Adele, has slimmed down in Armani number for the Grammys. Classic. Simple. “Less is More” is alwasy good, plus she won a s**tload of Grammys. She could have wore her undergarments on stage and sang, and I would have been happy.

I had to mention Swiss in this purple velvet.

That is all.

Urban Dynamics: After The Storm

On April 27, 2011 the most devastating tornado in Alabama history cut nearly a mile-wide swath through the university town, killing 41. The students of The University of Alabama, haunted by the storm and its aftermath, work to heal a community that has always cheered pridefully in the great traditions of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Now we all must work diligently to reclaim and rebuild our communities.

With this said, Bridgemon Marshall better known as @TheDionDior, decided to compile a group of “dressed to kill” individuals and portray a small portion of the damage cause by these storms and ultimately pay our respects to those lost.

Enjoy our pictorial artistry.

Live.
