"Are we on the air, suga? "
Well, we are again now.
After a hiatus that included one New York Fashion Week car accident, several freelance assignments, a few setbacks, and ____ (insert the garden-variety interruption of your choosing and you've got it: work, personal life, "Friday Night Lights" mega-marathons), your friendly neighborhood CURB APPEAL stoop-sitter is back on the block.
First, thanks to all of you who, despite the blog's relative infancy and unforeseen break, expressed your appreciation of it and kept asking that it to come back. Although we like to keep it semi-light and mildly inappropriate around here, I'm sincere when I say (write?) it's truly encouraging to know that people besides those on my payola roll are paying attention.
Second, the blog began rather ambitiously for one such as I (kept down by The Man full-time, juggler of multiple freelance commitments) with twice-a-day updates, and, unfortunately, it's not a frequency I can maintain right now given my schedule. So, until this baby starts pulling down the kind of cash that allows me to frequent Weezy's jeweler-dentist, it'll probably be a 2-3 post per week gig. But I promise to make 'em good and memorable.
Finally, the blog's credo is "Style Worth a Second Look," and style being the all-encompassing banner that it is, the content we feature will broaden to occasionally include pop culture, arts, news, and a random musing or three, in addition to the usual fashion and beauty detritus. It keeps it interesting for all of us and, really, how many times can I expound on the beauty of my signature pair of vintage Chanel clip-ons (Actually, it never gets tiring. Hence the accompanying photo).
There's a lot coming up: Grammy and Oscar fashion, New York Fashion Week (CURB APPEAL was approved for its first NYFW credentials ever - solid!), and nearly five months of saved-up fashion and beauty thoughts, observations, and misguided attempts [by others] to wear satin. Do call on us and check in at the CURB once again when you round the corner at Fashion Ave. online.
In the meantime: ya girl is back. Who else gon' help you understand a broad with a mean shoe game?
