Inspo

The popularity of e-bikes has skyrocketed over the last few years. Due to the rise in petty crime on mass transit in both LA and NYC as well as expensive prices at the pump, millennials who reside in close proximity to their jobs have decided to ditch their cars. As micromobility options have become a way for individuals to express themselves, it’s important to find brands like Macfox that make it easy to customize their models.

The Super73 and Onyx Motorbikes were some of the most impressive e-bikes on the market. Even though they were both well-constructed and attractive, they both had a high price tag ($3,800-6500) and a lengthy waiting list. Then emerged the newcomer, Macfox X1, which cost roughly $1100, was an excellent lightweight choice in comparison to the aforementioned bulky models. Whatever the case, this initial prototype didn’t seem to measure up.

The following year, Macfox carefully listened to their customers and created the X2:

° Full suspension
° Turn signals that are integrated
° Hydraulic brakes
° A secondary battery clamp
° A headlamp with low/high beam
° 750 watt motor (1000 watt output)
° Half-thumb throttle

This metacycle is both nimble and easy to maneuver, with adequate stopping power and enough torque (our top speed on flat pavement was 30-33mph). And for those who like to boast about their bespoke, you can purchase the 20′ fat tires with brown walls and banana seat for that straight-from-the-box look. Moreover, unlike many of its competitors, you get a ton of branded accessories which will have you on the road right away rather than fishing for components.

The unit is relatively easy to assemble and is packaged with tools. We viewed a few tutorial videos on YouTube. This marks the first time we didn’t have to employ someone to assemble. Yes, we saved approximately $145, but we eventually had to visit a technician to reassure the overall build.

In short, the Macfox X2 is the perfect purchase, especially for those who need extra power to overcome challenging inclines in Central Park and a memory foam seat for long rides, providing high levels of comfort on or off the road.

PROS: affordable, well-made Shimano shifters, stylish design, and great battery life.

CONS: thin tires, small handlebars, metal pedals, and grinding noise at top speed.

COMING UP THIS SEASON

· The flashy, fun, and fabulous ladies of “The Real Housewives of Dubai” are back in the City of Gold for season two. This year, the women must balance new dynamics in the group, their demanding family lives, and their ever-growing successful businesses. When alliances shift, the ladies question their loyalty to each other as some friendships are left in the desert dust.

As she launches her new cosmetics line Ayan Beauty, Chanel Ayan sets aside her differences with former nemesis Caroline Stanbury and develops a new friendship. However, when the duo gets too close, Ayan ruffles feathers with her bestie, Lesa.

Caroline Brooks is stretched thin as she manages her bustling spa, the Glass House, and struggles to maintain work-life balance. Brooks introduces her friend of over a decade, Taleen, to the group, but feels betrayed when Taleen develops her own relationships with Brooks’ frenemies.

Sara Al Madani tests the waters with a new love interest from Germany, but the long distance may prove to be too big of a challenge. Sara and Caroline Stanbury struggle to find common ground.

New to the group, Taleen Marie is introduced to the ladies through her longtime friend, Caroline Brooks. When she develops a surprising friendship with Caroline Stanbury, her loyalty to Caroline Brooks is called into question.

With her dream home still under construction, Caroline Stanbury and husband Sergio realize the honeymoon is over as they’re forced to live in close quarters with their best friend, Michael. Tensions continue to mount as the couple must decide if they’re ready to have a child.

The Real Housewives of Dubai is produced by Truly Original with Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Jamie Jakimo, Leola Westbrook-Lawrence and Tamara Najm Coudurier serving as executive producers. Andy Cohen also executive produces.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

Zac and Vanessa are both a-list entertainers to this day.

Before “High School Musical,” Zac starred alongside fellow Disney 2000s artist Jesse McCartney in “Summerland.” He went on to film box office toppers and favorites such as “Hairspray,” “17 Again,” “New Year’s Eve,” “The Greatest Showman” and most recently “Iron Claw.” Zac has been acknowledged for his work with several awards, including an Emmy®, MTV Movie Awards, People’s Choice Awards and many more.

Vanessa Hudgens released 2 albums on Hollywood Records, and has starred in several films and television shows, including “Spring Breakers” (with Selena Gomez!), the critically acclaimed “Tick, Tick…Boom!”, “Grease Live!”, “Rent Live!” and many others. She served as a judge of “So You Think You Can Dance” and has become a popular host, her personality lighting up the “Billboard Music Awards,” “MTV Movie Awards,” “The Met Gala” and the “Oscars®” red carpet live shows. Vanessa recently announced she and her husband are expecting their first child. Congratulations are in order!

Fun Fact: “Start of Something New” was performed in “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” by Nini (Olivia Rodrigo), E.J. (Matt Cornett) and Gina (Sofia Wylie.) An acoustic version of the song was also recorded by Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.

Elevating Your Style

A Comprehensive Guide to Wearing a Grey Tuxedo

Introduction
The Versatility of Grey
Choosing the Right Shade
Accessories to Complement
Grey Tuxedo Etiquette
Key Takeaways
Conclusion

Introduction

Elevating your style is not just about what you wear but how you wear it. Few men’s formalwear offers the same sophistication and versatility as a grey tuxedo. Whether preparing for a wedding, a gala, or a black-tie event, mastering the art of wearing a grey tuxedo can take your style game to new heights. Let’s explore the nuances of this classic yet contemporary ensemble and discover how to make it your own.

The Versatility of Grey

Compared to its more conventional siblings in black or navy, a gray tuxedo gives a contemporary take on formal wear. Because of its muted color, you may put your style on it without sacrificing its noticeable sophistication and elegance. From dark charcoal to light grey, the range of hues available in a gray tuxedo from Generation Tux in Miami allows you to personalize your look to suit the event and your style completely. Whether attending a wedding, gala, or formal dinner, a grey tuxedo offers unparalleled adaptability and sophistication. Opt for lighter, airier greys for spring or summer events, or choose more profound, subdued charcoals for evening affairs or winter weddings. With the versatility of grey tuxedos, you can confidently make a stylish statement on any occasion, ensuring you look and feel your best.

Choosing the Right Shade

When selecting a grey tuxedo, it’s essential to consider various factors, including the event’s formality, your complexion, and the season. Darker shades such as charcoal or slate grey exude sophistication and lend themselves well to evening events or winter weddings, evoking a sense of timeless elegance. On the other hand, lighter hues like dove grey or silver present a fresh, contemporary aesthetic that aligns seamlessly with the vibrancy of spring or summer. By carefully considering these elements, you can ensure that your choice of grey tuxedo enhances your style and harmonizes with the occasion’s specific context, leaving a lasting impression.

Accessories to Complement

Adding accessories to your grey tuxedo outfit will help it look more put together and let you express your style. Traditional black accessories like a bow tie, cummerbund, and patent leather shoes are excellent choices for a classic and timeless look. They go well with the subtle elegance of the grey tuxedo. These essentials for formal attire guarantee a classy look that will make an impact at any event. However, add a flash of color with patterned socks or a vivid pocket square to add personality and flair to your outfit. These whimsical accents show off your style and self-assurance while giving your ensemble visual appeal. Whether you choose to accessorize conventionally or daringly, the key is to strike a balance that enhances the overall sophistication of your grey tuxedo ensemble while expressing your unique sense of style.

Grey Tuxedo Etiquette

While grey tuxedos offer unparalleled versatility, adhering to specific etiquette guidelines is essential to ensure a polished and refined appearance. Firstly, prioritize a well-tailored fit to maintain a sleek, sophisticated silhouette. Avoiding overly trendy or casual elements is paramount, as they can detract from the tuxedo’s inherent elegance. Attention to lapel width, button stance, and trouser length is crucial for achieving a refined and sophisticated look. By meticulously attending to these etiquette guidelines, you can confidently showcase your style and sophistication in a grey tuxedo ensemble, leaving a lasting impression at any formal event.

Key Takeaways

A grey tuxedo offers versatility and modernity while maintaining a sense of sophistication.
Choose the shade of grey based on the event’s formality, season, and complexion.
Accessorize thoughtfully to complement your grey tuxedo ensemble and add personal flair.
Use proper etiquette guidelines to ensure a polished and refined appearance in your grey tuxedo attire.

Conclusion

Finally, for any formal function, donning a grey tuxedo will undoubtedly enhance your look and make an impact. It is a classic alternative for the modern gentleman who appreciates sophistication and uniqueness because of its adaptability and abundance of styling possibilities. You may create a refined look that properly reflects your style by choosing the right accessories and hue with care and following formal etiquette requirements. Accepting the grace of a grey tuxedo lets you stand out from the crowd with refinement and charm by enabling you to create a bold and fashionable statement.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE 11

International Bucharest Biennial for Contemporary Art will take place September 19 – October 06, 2024, under a new direction.

In a groundbreaking move, BUCHAREST BIENNALE was successfully acquired by a new organisation. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in the contemporary art landscape.

The board of directors of the newly formed organisation appointed Daniel Roșca, a Romanian cultural manager and artist, as director of the Bucharest Biennale 11. Eugen Rădescu, the former director, will take the position of director-at-large, member of the board of directors of the entire organisation and remain the co-founder of Bucharest Biennale.

The Bucharest Biennale founded 20 years ago, has long been celebrated for its commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and showcasing diverse perspectives. With this acquisition, BB11 aims to foster cross-cultural dialogue, amplify artistic innovation, and elevate the biennial experience to new heights supporting underserved communities of artists including queer community, minorities and emerging artists. BB was the first biennial in history to use an AI curator in 2021.

“I am thrilled to be at the helm of Bucharest Biennale, building upon the significant achievements to date and exploring innovative approaches to uphold the same level of excellence and introduce fresh perspectives in the realm of art.”, said Daniel Roșca, the director of Bucharest Biennale. Daniel Roșca is a cultural manager, artist and climate change activist. His artworks have been exhibited in Bucharest, Kiel, Ulft, Geneva, Copenhagen and Paris, among others. Since 2017, he has been a founding member of the Grund, an organisation promoting emerging Romanian artists, facilitating artistic and philosophical education, and larger exposure for emerging artists.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE 11 will unfold under the theme “Democracy’s Uncharted Territories.” The curatorial approach is anchored in the principle of participatory democracy, accentuating the engagement of citizens in decision-making processes (Smith, 2009). This conceptual framework contests the conventional role of the curator as the singular arbiter of artistic significance, advocating for a more encompassing and cooperative milieu. Additionally, it will serve as a critical commentary on the misuse of democratic rhetoric solely for vested interests by Romanian cultural actors.

In BB11, the designation of a curator will be eschewed. Rather, the entire BB11 team will function as the selection committee and curatorial collective. Participating artists will be chosen through an open call process, adhering to a first-application-first-selected approach. The open call will be disseminated in the forthcoming weeks.

LENNY KRAVITZ – HUMAN

Watch

Hot on the heels of his latest single, Lenny Kravitz has released the soaring new music video for “Human.” Described by Forbes as an “absolutely infectious anthem,” “Human” precedes Kravitz’s forthcoming album Blue Electric Light, out May 24, 2024 via Roxie Records/BMG. Pre-order/Pre-save Blue Electric Light HERE.

The “Human” video, directed by legendary video director Joseph Kahn, projects the single’s bold and boisterous spirit on screen. A visual feast, it intercuts a literally traffic-stopping performance by Kravitz and his band with stunning effects and an ascension of lovers, friends, and neighbors from the streets and into the sky.

Timeless. Explosive. Romantic. Inspiring. How else to characterize Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz’s 12th studio album? Kravitz wrote and recorded the project in his studio in the Bahamas, and his mastery of deep-soul rock ‘n’ roll is once again established here. As a relentless creative force—musician, writer, producer, actor, author, designer—he continues to be a global dynamic presence throughout music, art and culture. Blue Electric Light is an impassioned suite of songs, that broadens this distinction and is the latest contribution of a man whose music—not to mention his singular style—continues to inspire millions the world over. On the album, Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist resonate as he wrote and played most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross. Ultimately, he crafted 12 tracks that are reflective of his legacy as a genre-breaking trailblazer, yet also firmly entrenched in the energy of the 21st century and beyond.

Recently, Kravitz was immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received the “Music Icon Award” at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and was also nominated as a 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Last month, Kravitz teamed up with Ray-Ban to launch a new Reverse collection, merging the brand’s most iconic shapes with Kravitz’s legendary persona in two special SKUs and one limited-edition style. In June, Kravitz will embark on a European tour in support of Blue Electric Light.

Kravitz is the author of Flash, a book that showcases unique rock photography. His recent memoir, Let Love Rule, also landed him on The New York Times’ Best Sellers List.

VICTORIA FUTRELL GOODE

Today, we pay tribute to the memory of Victoria Futrell Goode, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She was affectionately known as Aunt Tora. She loved her family and friends with all her heart and enriched the lives of all who knew her.

On April 25, 1927, in Potecasi, North Carolina, Victoria was born to Magnus and Virginia Vergie Bradley Futrell. She received her formal education at Potecasi Grade School and continued on to W. C. Creecy High School in Rich Square, North Carolina, where she graduated in 1945. Victoria was a member of the Second Baptist Church in Potecasi, where she quickly learned that the Lord knows her name.

On March 2, 1950, Victoria married the late Raymond Goode, of Seaboard, North Carolina. They were married for over 50 years, and were devoted to each other until his passing in 2003. Their union was blessed with 7 children: Diane, Eloise, Joyce, Raymond, Denise, Cynthia and Angela. The couple raised their family in Brooklyn, NY, where they met, after migrating from the south. They were surrounded by extended family and maintained their strong ties back home in North Carolina. Victoria joined Brown Memorial Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York where she worshiped and fellowshipped for many years. One of her favorite church hymns was One Day at a Time (Sweet Jesus). Her favorite scripture was Proverbs 3:6, In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path.

Throughout her life, Victoria was a housewife, but because of her love of children and her desire to be a teacher, she worked as a family daycare provider and also cared for her friends and neighbors’ children. Victoria was a woman of faith who had a big heart and would share whatever she had with anyone in need. She was always a caregiver, and in this way, she served her loved ones and close knit community of Clinton Hill /Fort Greene, Brooklyn, for many years. Even in her last days, she was more concerned about how her family was managing during the COVID 19 pandemic, while they were only concerned about her.

Victoria was the matriarch of the Goode family. Her values and principles have been permanently imprinted in the hearts of those she touched. Her life was an example of grace, dignity and kindness. Victoria always had a kind word for her friends and neighbors and those who needed it. Her timeless wisdom and loving words will always be with us. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

On Monday, April 6, 2020, Victoria exited this life and entered eternal rest. In addition to her parents, and beloved late husband Raymond, she joins her late sisters, Magnolia, Rosette and Henrietta and her brother Magnus. She also joins her great-grandson, Liam and great- great- grandson Messiah.

With her service on Earth now complete, Victoria leaves behind her children: Diane, Eloise, Joyce, Raymond, Denise (husband Patrick), Cynthia (husband Kelvin), Angela, and her dear niece Maudie, who loved her like a mother; 10 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.

Patricia Nash Designs

‘One of the top luxury designer handbags in the marketplace. The construction of each piece is meticulous and long-lasting.’—Vaughn Lowery

Patricia Nash Designs was established in 2010, and under her guidance is more than a fashion brand—it’s a lifestyle celebrating craftsmanship, storytelling, and a profound love for vintage aesthetics. Each and every piece within the collection is inspired by true events and stories. Whether those stories are travel, family, breathtaking works of art seen by Patricia, love stories, and more. Her authentic love for vintage fashion defines the brand. From the discovery of her mother’s fifty-year-old handbag to the incorporation of vintage detailing in every piece, Patricia Nash Designs seamlessly marries timeless style with modern sophistication.

Over 15 years time, Patricia has built a team of over 35 people and the company not only sells direct to consumers through their website but can also be found at Dillard’s, Macy’s, Belk, Von Maur, QVC, HSN, many Military bases across the US, and in the Atlanta, Nashville and Phoenix airports.

Patricia is certainly worthy of a spotlight for this past International Women’s Day. After all, she’s someone who has successfully started and ran many companies, but at the age of 50, she decided to launch her own namesake brand. She has led a team of female executives who have been with her since the beginning, including her Global VP of Sales, Dorian Tave, and later her daughter, Jennifer Vanderink, as VP of Operations and General Counsel.
