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.

Uncommon Beauty: Wedded Bliss, Island Style

wedded-bliss

Tying the knot the traditional way – staid ceremony at your local place of worship followed by stale reception complete with cheesy wedding singer and regrettable speeches – is beyond blasé. Today’s brides and grooms want exotic. They want unique. They want a destination wedding in the Caribbean.
Lots of full-service and all-inclusive resorts offer destination wedding packages. Some, like the Free Caribbean Wedding program offered by Holiday Inn Resorts Caribbean, include just about everything, even the cake, at little or no cost above what you’d pay for a normal resort stay. Best of all, the resorts take care of all the paperwork and legal issues, making this the easiest, most stress-free option.

Uncommon Beauty: Sexy Surfer Girls

To surf is to be sexy.
Really, you have to have some seriously strong abs and athletic agility just to stand up on the board, much less shred a wave and ride it all the way to the beach.
I learned this the hard way when after 25 years of non-surfing activity I tried the sport again a few weeks ago in Tobago. How’d I do? Well, let’s just say that if I had been along for my brother’s recent surfing adventure in Barbados I would’ve made him look like Kelly Slater. Indeed, I would’ve flunked Boosy’s Surf School.
Someday I hope to muster enough courage to share all the gory details with you, but not today.

Tuesday 2 Cents: Martinique Model/Actor, Oraniz

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: The Beaches of Portland, Jamaica

jump

Uncommon Caribbean loves the beach… especially when the scenery rivals the image at left.
This shot was captured in Portland, Jamaica’s 7th largest Parish, and home to some of JA’s most valued treasures.
Over Portland’s 314 square miles you’ll find the highest peaks of the mystical Blue Mountains, the legendary Blue Lagoon, Rio Grande, and a series of seaside caves, bays, waterfalls and hills that make this an eco-lover’s dream come true.
The place is just downright gorgeous. So much so that swashbuckling Hollywood star, Errol Flynn, who lived in Portland after his yacht shipwrecked there in the mid-1940′s, called the area “the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.”
We hear that his wife, presumably #2 on Flynn’s list, still lives there today.

Uncommon Beauty: Vincy Mas 2010

vincy

Did you miss out on Trinidad Carnival earlier this year? Not to worry; the line-up of annual Caribbean carnival celebrations still has a few major fetes in store for 2010. Among them, St. Vincent Carnival, better known as Vincy Mas.
The history of Carnival in St. Vincent dates back to the 1890s. For some 80+ years Vincy Mas was held on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, just as it still is today in Trinidad and elsewhere.
In 1976, much to the delight of revelers who previously had to choose between Vincy Mas and the log-jam of other pre-Lenten Carnivals, St. Vincent’s Carnival Development Committee (CDC) shifted the event from February/March to June/July.
