One of the best parts to travel is meeting people. I don’t just mean, chatting a few moments at a bar, I mean really hanging out and spending time with new friends you’ve only just met. Whether it’s taking up surfing with Boosy on Barbados, going spelunking for bats with Mark on St. Martin, or running a torturous half-marathon with a collection of new friends on Montserrat; more often than not, meeting new people make a trip.
It pays to remain open to meeting new folks and spending time with them during your travels, but it also helps to get acquainted before you’re on-island.

Uncommon Beauty: New Dates for Caribbean Fashion Week, Kingston

fashion

The show must go on, especially when it’s 1 of the Caribbean’s sexiest!
New dates were announced earlier this week for Caribbean Fashion Week (CFW) in Kingston. The move, necessitated by the recent unrest in Western Kingston, will see the event take place June 15-21.
Why might you want to attend? Well, besides getting a chance to check out some serious eye candy like Mr. Abs here, you can also benefit a great cause.
For 2010, some CFW proceeds will go toward supporting the Haiti Art & Fashion Project. A new initiative spearheaded by Jamaica’s Pulse Foundation (organizers of CFW) working in conjunction with The Caribbean Fashion Industry Association (Cafia) and participating art, music and fashion industry entities in the region, the Haiti Art & Fashion Project supports the rehabilitation and development of Haiti’s creative arts, fashion and business industries in the wake of January’s tragic earthquake.

Martinique-born Oraniz is at Home in Los Angeles by Steve Bennett

Beyonce. Madonna. Bono. Oprah. Few are the celebrities with enough juice to light-up a marquee on the strength of one name alone. We’re adding to that lofty list today with a name you’ve probably never heard before: Oraniz.
Okay, so there isn’t a table at Spago’s reserved for him quite yet, but we think you’ll be hearing a lot from this budding star from Martinique very soon.
Born Jean-Felix Robert Nivor, Oraniz spent his early childhood living in the small town of Vert-Pre, located just inland of the seaside village of Le Robert. At age 9 he moved to Lyon, where after a few short years he started to attract the attention of several prominent modeling agencies.

Uncommon Beauty: Fashion Photo Shoots in Jamaica

Olivia

Jamaica just may be the modeling capital of the Caribbean. Jaw-dropping natural backdrops are everywhere, attracting the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue twice (1983 and 2007), the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders 2010 calendar shoot, and countless others over the years. The island’s sexy homegrown “talent” (see proof left) is quite an attraction in and of itself. Professional fashion shoots producing images like this one take place across the island regularly, so don’t be too surprised to see one going down while limin’ on the beach during your next Jamaica adventure. Of course, you can ensure a brush with Jamaica’s ultra-sexy side by attending the island’s annual Caribbean Fashion Week celebration, which will be held this year from June 8 to 14 in Kingston.
