Fashion Shows are a multi-dimensional experience, and what would they be without music. DJ V did a great job on opening night considering it was his first fashion gig.

9-year old RJ (top) got won over the audience during his walk on the runway and Every Day Bow Ties designer/owner Geraldo De-Souza was ready to give suggestions on how to step up your neck wear game on opening night.
Here in Central New York, designers come in all sizes.

Jeff Houston on stage at Juneteenth.
The local music scene is like a fraternity: so many good folks jamming, sharing and looking out for one another.
We were sad to hear about Jeff Houston’s passing. We caught him many times around Syracuse, but most recently at the Community Folk Art Center’s Women in Music series.
A tribute will take place at Dolce Vita where Houston usually played on Wednesday nights.

Shout out to the guys at Lombardi’s Imports on Butternut St., one of our favorite small food shops, for helping us pick out a gift that told a good story.

Writer, comedian, producer Jenny Yang goes in for laughs during a show at HBC Gifford Auditorium on Wednesday.
April Fools may be for amateurs, but Jenny Yang is a top flight pro when it comes to the comedy game. She visited Syracuse and put on a hilarious show that touched on topics such as “Fear of Dating White Guys,” “Yellow Fever,” “Decor/Asians,” Real Babies v. Food Babies” and her left swipe tendencies on Tinder. Yang is currently on the road producing the Dis/Orient/ed Tour, and she was featured in the 2013 documentary Why We Laugh: Funny Women. To us the only down side of her show was that it conflicted with an appearance on campus by Taraji P. Henson.
We hope Yang will return to do a few nights at the Funny Bone when her tour returns to the East Coast.
Yang has a show tonight at Swarthmore College (her alma mater)

Taraji P. Henson currently plays Cookie on the Fox-TV drama Empire, which debuted January 7, 2015.
Here are some of the photos from Taraji P. Henson’s visit to Syracuse University. She talked about her work in films and television, particularly the success of her new show Empire and the fortitude it takes to pursue a career in show business. She said she’s had the most fun in her career so far on the film Talk to Me (the Petey Greene biopic). Henson will host Saturday Night Live April 11.
She asked how many students in the audience wanted to run studios (versus merely acting or directing).
