MJ "Put On Your Dancin' Shoes" Tee

Yesterday I purchased what I am sure will be the first of many Michael Jackson t-shirts from a store we all know and love, Urban Outfitters. Known for their graphic tees, funky clothing, and other cool paraphernalia, Urban Outfitters was the first place I decided to check for official MJ clothing. (Some of you may recall all of the cool Obama tees they carried pre and post the election.) Although they have yet to receive their women's tees (they should be arriving shortly), I had one of the sales associates on the floor scour to find me what I was told was the last t-shirt they had in stock. (I was lucky - it was in my size!) I thought the shirt was very cool because it's simply a graphic of his feet doing his classic fancy footwork.

Today I decided to peruse their website to see if it was available online, and it is. To purchase, click here. We love you Michael!!!!!

A Sweet Farewell to a Musical Icon . . . a Fashion Trendsetter

I would be remiss if I didn't devote my blog this week to the one I consider to be the greatest musical legend of all time - Mr. Michael Jackson. Like many of you, I was simply devastated upon hearing the news yesterday that the "King of Pop" is no longer with us.

I will always remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. And although last night I had the pleasure of sitting front row at a Kenny G concert, my mind was elsewhere, and I couldn't stop looking at my Blackberry for updates. Michael was not only a gifted musician (he was indeed a musical genius), he was a fashion trendsetter. Who else could get away with wearing a sequined glove and white socks with black pants 2 inches too short? I am a bit embarrassed to say that when the Thriller album came out when I was in high school, I had the "Beat It" jacket (in white not red), and I used to pull that front piece of my hair down just like Michael. He was my hero . . . He was my musical idol . . . He was and will ever be my Michael, and I pray that he is finally at peace.
