I was raised in a single parent christian home. The majority of our family time was spent in church. Being primarily exposed to the culture and ways of church life, it(the church) molded  for me as a young man what was attractive, and sexy. Don't get me wrong I dig a lady in jeans a nice shirt, heels and gooey lips, but the kick pleat in a skirt worn by a woman who has the regal walk of a queen, or the poised individual with puffed sleeves and a lace trim lap cloth(a glorified handkerchief) still does something to me even today!

As a teenager I loved seeing the ladies in church glide in on high stilettos and big umbrella hats! It was something to see. As I grew into a man I knew one day I wanted my own queen to rest on my arm as I walked in, with a hat as large as life and heels that were so high her calves screamed "GLORY" every time she took a stride. The church hat has been the crown of African American women for decades, and though I see it fading fast I still long for the mysterious allure of the hat itself.

Resting upon the heads of powerful women so reserved but whose presence alone could cast out all fear! My preference was always slanted giving you one eye to see. Ha ha ha ha! The mystery of the the woman who only showed you what she wanted you to see, told secrets that only her lover(spouse) could hear through her walk, as she glided. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Yes! the church hat, bent, folded, bowed, ribboned, or laced, the church hat told you things about its wearer that only certain individuals could understand, as the hats had a language all their own.

Blessed and Highly Favored

For years these women have been gracing the platforms and pulpits of our Churches, singing for our elite and, stirring us up with their individual gifts and their collective gift as a family.

These women have not only trail blazed the way for many of today's entertainers and new inductees in the gospel recording industry, but they have also become great industry, and style icons. Pushing the envelope, and having us love it every step of the way! Literally through sickness and pain, storm and rain these women have made it!

It would be very difficult for you to interview any current artist who would not list the Clark sisters as a group they listened to growing up, or currently listen to now. These women have influenced the local church as well as the various genres of abroad. We were all taken at a pause when these sisters announced that they were releasing their last project entitle "The Clark Sisters One Last Time." With great response these women seen that the world was not ready to let go of them yet and since then these women have gone on to record more music for the world to enjoy.

To think all this was birthed out of  one woman's dream and vision for her family, and though she(the late great Mattie Moss Clark) may be passed and not with us she lives on through her daughters and the next generation that they are bringing up!

Love those tips

In my opinion there is nothing more versatile then the pink and white acrylic nail! Dressed up or in jeans and a tee shirt pink and white nails are the sure to make a statement all on their own. Filed down to active length, or ovaled they are still nice to look at!

I enjoy seeing them squared sharply myself, no nail art needed, I love a well put together woman, add them pink and whites and a classy attitude my sights attention is all taken!
