BX Stand UP!!!! August 10, 2007

I went to Marble hill yesterday morning & was sooooo pleased to see that my BX residents were doing the damn thang.

Unfortunately, I can not share the love of fashion & style that I witnessed (forgot my camera)

But as the saying now goes “Respect My Fresh!”

1. Saw a fellow waiting for the $ train @ 170th street rockin The Compostion Nike Dunk HI(FRESH!!!!)

2. Saw anotha kat rockin a “I Love NY” tee (which I’ve been seeing in many colors) in Neon Green with the Men’s Nike Dunk HI White/Neon Green (coordinating) on the Grand Concourse & Burnside Ave

3. Saw anotha yung fella rockin the Black/ Red Air Bakin’ (I had them in all 3 colors back int he 90’s & got them in White/ Blue now - Wow I forgot I had them til just now) with the black Batman tee on Third Ave & 141st

4. On a Sad note, I saw a Big Woman (she wasn’t no girl) wearing a bright green halter top with a mesh tube top (LOL), with some jean short shorts, and the same-color green slingback kittenheel shoes, with (I’m SORRY) a PURPLE WEAVE!!!!!!!! that was curled in an up-do. I didn’t know what to think, but all I could say was… She gotta man in BROAD DAY LIGHT and he ain’t trying to leave her side.

I know 4 isn’t a lot of people. But I don’t dscriminate on going to other boros and when I’m in Harlem or in BK, people rep they boro in a very nice way. Growing up Uptown (Harlem & The Bronx), & Queens, people slept on the Bronx. And always thought I was from Harlem, because they said I didn’t dress like a BX girl. And when I ask them how do Bronx people dress, you get a vague, they wear this, or they wear that, but growing up and going to High School out in the BX, I can honestly, say that I thought BX kats could dress. But, that wasn’t true. When I started having the “Bronx people can’t dress” discussions more & more I noticed, that they had a point. It is not too often that you see someone rockin a sick outfit and I’m not talking about 2006 - 2007. I’m refferring to ‘98 - ‘05.
It makes me angry, b/c there is alot of potential in the BX streets, but I am happy to see that the youngsters are holding it down, and the OG kats, like myself, Truly Curveous & DOPE! have kept it consistent.

With that being said, I’m going to be have post on the fashion in the streets of The Boogie Down Bronx!!!
