Rest In Peace Sweet Teddy.

Another great music icon has passed on..

Teddy Pendergrass made music for lovers all over the world..Classic music..Soulful music..Grown folks music if you will.

 His legacy will live on in all of those beautiful expressions of love.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

In celebration of his legacy take a peek at a few Vintage classics.

 

Spreading love in your honor Teddy,

Team FunkyFanny's

Help however you can..

From our FavFanny's over at Styleaholics:

Today is a super sad day for the world.

As you all are quite aware,yesterday Haiti suffered from a devastating earthquake and several aftershocks that has left an estimated 3 million people in need of emergency aid (according to the Red Cross)

In response to this earth shattering event, I’m in the process of trying to pull together a clothing drive/fundraiser event to help.

Like most things in life–help is needed and no one can work alone.

I’m currently seeking the following resources to make this event a reality.

1. A NYC based venue-it can be a nightclub, lounge, private event space etc. It doesn’t have to be super big ideally a 100-300 capacity. This would be an after work event during the week of 1/25. *I’m also open to promoters who are interested in hosting this event at their ongoing weekly parties.*

2. Media Partners/Volunteer Publicists–Whether you’re a fashion blogger or not, I need your help in spreading the word. Ideally I see this as a way for the blogging community to unify and take action by doing something we do daily BLOGGING AND SPREADING FASHOINABLE GOODNESS.

Please note you don’t have to be a fashion blogger to join us!

3. Items to auction off. With style in mind, it would be great to have some goodies to do a silent auction on and have the money donated to a relief org.

4. Any celebrity, personality, model, designer who wants to partner up and donate their ‘name’ to the cause. It’s America and all the world loves celebrity:)

If you’re interested please contact me directly at najwa.moses@gmail.com/ please put in the subject line Fashion Bloggers For Haiti.

In the meantime here is a list of organizations and websites where you can donate RIGHT NOW!

Secretary of State Clinton has set up an aid line that people can use to send money to support Haiti relief similar to what was set up to support refugees in Pakistan earlier this year. (see Red Cross below)

US DEPARTMENT OF STATE..The State Department has set up a toll-free number to call for information about family members in Haiti: 1-888-407-4747..www.state.gov

YELE HAITI EARTHQUAKE FUND..www.yele.org..Text YELE to 501501 to donate $5 via your cell phone 

(Team FunkyFanny's has donated to YELE in support of Haiti's son Wyclef Jean)

AMERICAN RED CROSS..Text “HAITI” to “90999″ to make a $10 donation..2025 E Street, NW..Washington, DC 20006..(800) REDCROSS (800-257-7575)..www.redcross.org

 My prayers are with Haiti…..

Thank you Najwa for doing good in the hood..

Team FunkyFanny's will be taking the next few days to work towards developing relief efforts and will keep you posted on our efforts as they unfold.

Thanks in advance for your time and our thoughts and prayers are with our own FeistyFanny,her family,as well as all those affected by the devastation in Haiti and those who are still looking for loved ones..

Big Love to Haiti..

Feisty's Top 10 for 2010

We all fall victim to the craze
New Year...New Decade...New YOU, right?
Personally I just can't do another round
of setting an impossibly high bar with
a list of resolutions I won't even glance at by
JANUARY 31st!
Instead I'll just share what I call my
2010 Fanny Pact:

1. WORK THE POLES
You know...
all the countries between North and South
POLE!!!
That's a lot of ground to cover
195 sovereign nations to be exact
I better get to gettin'

2. FILL MY DRAWER WITH ELECTRIC TOYS
Have you discovered the wonders of a waffle iron?
Oh me...Oh my
It will change your life!
I just saw an eggbeater in this week's circular
SOMEBODY STOP ME!

3. TURN TRICKS
As the auntie to a pair of 2 year old
rambunctious wonder twins
I know they're bound to get tired of
that severed thumb thingy
This Black Magic Woman
is in need of more tricks up her sleeve...
and quick!

4. LET IT HIT THE BOTTOM
I MUST MUST MUST purge Le Closet!
Toss all the unwanteds
at the bottom of the Goodwill pile
and never look back
How else will I make room
for more yummilicious FF stunnas?
5. STEP MY TEABAGGING GAME UP
I should color outside the lines a lil'
Try some Oolong...
Darjeeling...
Ceylon...
So many varietals
So many bags to steep!

6. MORE MAC-ING
No, not of the makeup variety
but with my fine ass hunk of loving
Wielding 13 glorious inches of pleasure...
My new MacBook Pro!

7. MAKE IT CLAP
This year my Funky Fanny's vintage ensembles
will be so mouth watering...
so insane...
Forget people
The clothes themselves
will break out in applause damnit!

8. BE A BETTER CALL GIRL
Less Tweets, texts, IMs
Emails and posts...
I will reach out and touch somebody
Pick up the phone
And dare I say it?
Have an honest to God conversation
Novel idea...I know

9. SWALLOW OFTEN
Check my pride at the door
and keep it moving
No room for ego
When you have dreams to follow

10. TAKE IT ALL IN
Enormous quantities of delicious vintage
and only at the heavenly Wonderland of
Funky Fanny's of course!

New Beginnings by FoxyFanny..

Starting a new year is grand!


  As I recap 2009..Team FunkyFanny’s had an amazingly jam-packed year.

I’m excited to share for all who missed out, and for those who participated..

Thank You for holding down the vintage world with us.
WE LOVE YA LIKE FRENCH FRIES!

We started our new initiative: The Funky Fanny’s Field Trip  
with the Purple Rain Sing Along..Doing our part to support The Pink Tea Cup's crusade among others.

Hosting a series of festive ”Gold Money” affairs.

And of course dedicated our time to spreading Vintage love!

 With all that glory behind us, we look forward to a great Twenty Ten!


 Here are some things I’d like to accomplish in 2010:

 

For starters..This FoxyFanny will curb her tongue and not be so cantankerous with others.

 Making sure I shine my brightest light!

Hoping to discover the small wonders that the Vintage world has to offer.

Expanding my wisdom on Vintage history,learning the technique of collecting and parting with pieces in order to keep my collection fruitful. 

My biggest hope for this year is to be happy, share happiness, be around it all while spreading the word that FunkyFanny’s will rock your Vintage world…

Hope it’s been...

Peace/Love/and Free Hugs

Blue Jean Baby..

Denim is America’s most known contribution to fashion. It’s begi

nning can be routed to Levi Strauss in the early 1800’s. He changed the fashion game by creating a tough fabric that was durable for hard working labor jobs.

Altering the name from ‘overalls’ to ‘jeans’. The fabric called ‘jeans’ comes from the French word "genes" which is the name for blue denim fabric.

Different styles and variations of denim appear and reappear but never go out of style.

The 50’s introduced the world to 'rebel teens' in the famous movie 'Grease' like The Thunderbirds who wore denim jeans with their leather jackets.

The 70’s and 80’s introduced bell-bottoms,

Embroidery jeans for all the peace loving hippies,

Designer denim like Sergio Valente, Calvin Klein and Jordache jeans became mainstream during the later years.

The fashion world is always in a state of reinvention and alteration.
It's style has been around for a years, yet the blue jean will remain a classic piece of clothing for a timeless generation.
