I Hate Hoodies. And No, My Name Ain't Geraldo Rivera.
A few weeks ago, I posted about the killing of Trayvon Martin, the case with which most of us in America are familiar by now. This killing was and continues to be a terrible scenario, and I spoke about my pain over this situation, and the need for Black people to know our history in this country.
But if you go back and read my post, I didn't say anything substantial about the hoodie that Trayvon was wearing that night. I didn't defend that item of clothing. And you know why? Because I think the championing of the hoodie as a symbol of racial profiling is misguided.
For the past few weeks, I've looked a pictures of folks in their hoodies, which is how they shared their solidarity with Trayvon Martin. And I've felt as if folks have looked askance at me, because not only haven't I shared a picture of me in a hoodie, I've openly talked about the fact that I won't be wearing a hoodie in the first place.
Just last night, I had a young girl—no older than twenty-five—call me out in the most disrespectful, harsh ways–ways that one should never talk to an elder– for my supposed "pettiness" and my being "bourgeois" when I posted on Facebook and argued that we needed to be honest with young Black men about the fact that the hoodie was not a great item of clothing for professional advancement. That young Black men wearing this clothing weren't going to walk into a job interview and come away with employment and as a result, economic power.
Over the past few weeks, people on Twitter also have implied that I just don't care about Trayvon Martin's death, or implied that I have accused Black people of being stupid simply because I've told them that, instead of being caught up in the moment of the hoodie, they need to read and educate themselves (by going to the library) on the long history of racially profiling African American men in this country.
Can I ask you something? When did it become a crime for a Black English teacher to, like, tell somebody else Black that they needed to read a book? Because that's what I am. I teach in the English department of a university, okay? I read, write, and teach books for a living, y'all. My twitter handle is "@blklibrarygirl". Get it?
And then, of course, in the middle of all that, there has been the hullabaloo over the comments of Gerald Rivera, who argued that the wearing of hoodies of Black and Latino youngsters—males—is a justification for racial profiling. If this were eighteenth-century Boston, Massachusetts someone would have tarred and feathered that man and paraded Rivera in the streets. People have been so nasty and frankly, frightening, that Rivera retracted his statements.
But let me say what I have been wanting to say for the past couple of weeks, but have been too afraid to do so, lest my (admittedly much, much smaller) group of followers online do the same thing to me as Rivera had to withstand. He might have had wrong motivations for saying what he said about the hoodie and how he said it, too, but at the end of the day, the hoodie does a mixed message, sometimes a wrong message. And that's why we need to be careful about conflating that particular item of clothing with racial profiling of young, Black men.
Yes, I said it. It had to be said.
Let me be very clear. Trayvon Martin did not have any responsibility to rethink his clothing that fateful night that he walked to the store to buy his candy and his iced tea. Trayvon was an American citizen and he was child of American citizens and they are the children of American citizens and so on and so forth. American citizens do not have the responsibility to show their identification papers to someone who is not a police officer while walking in their own neighborhoods. This is not 1850 and we are not living under the Fugitive Slave Act, okay?
Trayvon had every right in this world and the next one, too, to wear his hoodie. He was doing nothing wrong in the least. But it's not that hoodie that caused Trayvon to be stalked and killed by George Zimmerman.
Trayvon was stalked and killed because of racial profiling. That's it, plain and simple. And, quite possibly, he might have been stalked and killed because George Zimmerman might not be all there mentally, though that remains to be seen. The hoodie had nothing to do with it.
And further, the hoodie is not always a great item of clothing. You can call me names for saying that, you can leave mean comments below, you can say whatever you need to say to me. But you know what you can't do?
You can't show up to the bank and get money from a teller wearing a hoodie over your head. Why? Because your face is obscured.
You can't go through airport security wearing a hoodie over your hear. Why? Again, because they don't know who you are. Sometimes, I've even been asked to take off my glasses at the airport because I wanted to be cute in my driver's license photo and I didn't put them on for my picture. And in that case, you know I can't be wearing a hoodie.
And further, you can't take your driver's license picture wearing a hoodie over your head in the first place. And you know why? Because sometimes, criminals of every race, creed, religion, gender, and color actually do wear hoodies to commit crimes.
They wear hoodies to rob people. They wear hoodies to come up behind folks and shoot them dead without being recognized.
As someone pointed out to me last night online, the mock-up picture of the Unibomber pictures him wearing a hoodie. The Unibomber, y'all? The Unibomber? Do we really want to connect that handsome, sweet, beloved boy Trayvon Martin with the same item of clothing worn by the Unibomber? Think about that for a second.
Did Trayvon Martin commit any crime? Of course not.
Did Trayvon Martin have a right to wear anything he wanted to that was in his closet? Of course he did.
Trayvon Martin didn't do anything but walk in the rain with his candy and iced tea cloaked in his Black skin, skin that is not offensive to anyone except someone filled with racial hatred or mental illness. So why on earth are we trying to champion a piece of clothing as the reason behind his getting killed? And explain to me, please, how we are any different from White supremacists when we talk about how a piece of clothing identifies a young Black man?
Take your time. I got a few hours for you to figure out the logistics of that one.
I've actually read Facebook status posts where people compare the hoodie to the hijab. Are you kidding me? Since when is the hoodie a religious statement going back thousands of years?
I've had people debate me online that the hoodie is the same as someone Black wearing his or her hair in dreadlocks or natural. Really now? The sacred way that God made you, how S/He decided that a part of your actual body springs out of your head is equal to an item of clothing you can buy down to the Abercrombie and Fitch alongside White kids who have trust funds? Alrighty then.
I understand the long history of racial profiling of Black men in this country. Believe me, I'm aware. My mother told me that, before I was born, my father punched a man in Mississippi years ago for calling him the n-word and to this day, I wonder why he didn't swing at the end of a rope.
I have two nephews and I worry about them, a lot. I may not ever have been stopped by the police and harassed because I was living and breathing in a Black male body, but as Tayari Jones talked about so movingly and eloquently on NPR a few days ago, I've spent my whole life worrying about the safety of young Black men I have loved in different ways.
And it's because of that love and because of that worry that I'm concerned now that African American communities are championing—and encourage White people to champion—a symbol that just can't hold the weight of three hundred and ninety three years of ancestral and cultural trauma, ever since the first kidnapped African disembarked in 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia and was renamed "slave."
Those kidnapped Africans weren't wearing hoodies. Quite possibly, those Africans were naked, and their only crime was being in the wrong village on the wrong day, and they ended up following the tragic, mythic red path onto a slave ship.
We need to focus on the real issue of racial profiling of young Black men and understand that, though someone who was loved by his parents and was doing absolutely no wrong was killed while wearing a hoodie, he wasn't killed for wearing a hoodie.
Trayvon could have been wearing biker shorts. In fact, he could have been wearing a corporate suit and tie. And you know what? George Zimmerman would have stalked him and killed him anyway. And that's on him. And that's on the tragic and brutal history of "race" this country. That's not on a hoodie.
We need to find a more lasting –and appropriate–symbol to memorialize Trayvon, one that is not associated with actual wrongdoing, because he didn't do anything wrong. We need to find a better way to honor other blameless young, Black men who were killed as a result of racism, who never did a thing to deserve their sad fate.
The hoodie is not that symbol. But I remain hopeful that we'll find something else, something better, in the days to come.

Thank you for your clarity and passion.
Tayari Jones permalinkApril 3, 2012 8:37 am
I have been uneasy from the start with the hoodie as the symbol for the movement. As you said, it wasn't that the hoodie caused some sort of misunderstanding, and had there been no hoodie, this whole thing wouldn't have happened. So I am with you on that. I wish something like a black armband could have been worn as the symbol. But now that it is the symbol, is there something that can be done with it?
As for the idea that people in hoodies don't get jobs, etc.. Do you mean that if you EVER wear a hoodie, you will not get a job, or if you wear the hoodie to the interview? I can't imagine that someone who is in the running for the sort of job you're talking about would not understand that he shouldn't wear the hoodie to the interview.
I do think there is a conversation to be had about the ways boys are encouraged to perform masculinity, but I don't think that this is the time to talk about it. It seems that the link is too easily made between dressing a certain way and being mistaken for a "thug" and being killed. This is why you had to go to such great lengths in your post to make sure that you were not misunderstood. Some topics don't go well together and blend in a way that we don't want them to.

While I understand your point, Honoree, and I agree that focus on the hoodie (or any item of clothing, for that matter) might be misplaced (i.e., it's not the most important factor here, and it certainly isn't the cause of Trayvon Martin's death), I do want to draw attention to the fact that we might also talk about class here. I think the hoodie is a marker of class as much as it is a marker of race. You associate the hoodie (as many people do) with young black men. But I also see it as a marker of class. My daddy wears a hoodie. He's a heavy equipment operator, and has been for 30 years. He drives a payloader and loads salt into salt trucks. He used to drive a snowplow, in Syracuse, NY. While I was growing up, he worked crazy shifts — from 7 pm to 7 am during much of the winter. And from 4 am to noon, when he was on street cleaning duty. Now that he's 60, he works better hours. He gets to work at 7 am every day. All this means that he's often headed to work when it's still dark out, and that he goes to work in the worst weather conditions. He dresses a certain way because he's working class. His job is physical. He doesn't have a BA, but he's worked extremely hard for the last 34 years, in part, so that I could have better opportunities than he did. He's used his vacation time to work more. He's never taken a week off of work other than when he was injured and in the hospital, on workers compensation. I've worked full-time, through two Masters degrees, but I've never worked as hard as my father has. And I probably never will. I'm finishing my PhD this year, and I know that I never would have been able to do many of the things I've done to get here if my daddy hadn't had the job he did. It's why I had health insurance growing up. And why I could afford to buy books in college. And when I think of a black man wearing a hoodie, it isn't a young kid, and it isn't a "thug," or someone who's going to rob someplace — it's my daddy. And I think of this one time, when he took that hoodie off his own body, to give to a homeless man he met on the street. Because that's what kind of person he is. And my daddy dresses the way he does because of his job. And because he's not going to put on some nice clothes to go get diesel fuel on them. And sometimes he wears a hoodie. Now I'm not saying that this item of clothing is anything more than it is. I agree that it's not some great marker of identity, and that it probably didn't matter what that poor boy was wearing at all. And I'm not disrespecting your right to hate the hoodie as a matter of fashion, in the same way people hate it when certain young men need to pull up their pants already. And I know I'm in no position whatsoever to be calling anyone "bourgeois," so please know that I'm not saying that either. But, (with all due respect, of course,) I'd like to suggest that we don't over-criminalize this piece of clothing, either. Ok, the unibomber wore a hoodie. And sometimes folks wear hoodies when they commit crimes. But sometimes a hoodie is just what someone wears to work. And maybe that's about class. But maybe either embracing or rejecting the hoodie isn't the point. Sometimes a hoodie is just a hoodie.
(I write with much respect to you, Honoree, because you always take the time to make us think, and I always appreciate that!)

You comments on hoodies reminded me of an onterview with Memphis, TN middle school principal Bobby White whom I heard on the radio just yesterday. White has become known for his creative enforcement of a rule on no sagging pants in his school. While he recognizes that there often is cultural expression in how people dress, he said that he tries to teach the boys and girls in his school how to prepare for being men and women. This means dressing appropriately to be taken seriously at work. And he believes that middle school is work and it is preparation for a successful future.

Please know that all of your followers do not have issues with your statement. Point well taken- keep on writing, my sister. I may not always agree with everything you say – But, I love the way you say it!!! Your words give me z

First for foremost, let me remind you that I love you like cooked food. Im always remarking on twitter how you "never talk with water in your mouth". However, as regards the hoodie stiuation I would like you to consider the following:
1. KKK people wear hooded robes to hide them from their devious deeds. Its also true and unfortunate that some young men hide behind hoodies to do their devious deeds. But there is no white person who claims to wear a hooded robe for style while their are many Black people who wear hoodies just for that purpose alone.
2. No young Black man in his right mind expects to go through customs, or withdraw money from the bank or get a job wearing a hoodie.
3. I was followed into a building in Brooklyn by a young Black man who was wearing a nice button down shirt and a pair of khakis. He beat the mess out of me and stole my purse after trying to get me to go into a darkened basement. (Maybe he had rape in mind too) I thought a lot about that incident because I realized I had been duped into believing that a certain "attire" spelled trouble. I got "got" because I relied on the safety of appearances rather than my natural instincts for sniffing out trouble.
Last and not least: Please keep it coming Sis. Honoree; your opinions are always food for thought.

Lately there has been a lot of discussion about kids and teens. Whether good behavior or bad behavior is an indicator of what type of person they will turn out to be.
There has especially been an argument about what kids wear and how wearing a hoodie indicates they MUST be a criminal because all criminals wear hoodies right? (lol)
Well if all kids who wear hoodies are criminals, then what the heck are these kids with what they are wearing…….and speaking of which…what in the heck are these kids wearing?
April 9, 2012 7:44 pm
Honore, I am a new reader of your blog and you a like breath of fresh air with a hug dose of common sense. I wish I had known about you the three years I lived in OKC. I, too, have a hard time wrapping my head around the hoodie as a symbol for this senseless tragedy. We have been so very traumatized by our journey on this land mass that is is hard to be objective when everything near and dear to us is either dismissed or appropriated for hugh profits. I feel like we are swimming up stream only this time we have a bunch of well meaning folk of all color and nationalities with us. And I guess that should count for a lot.
I greatly appreciate having found you and the clarity of your voice and spirit. I am a fan!
One question for the road: If, as Geraldo so assertively suggested, the hoodie was what caused Trayvon to be shot dead, would he also be dead by now? Just saying…

I'm not saing anything is right or wrong. Zimmerman might not have taken the police dispatchers advise but he didn't do anything illegal. No one knows for sure what the "kid" was up to? But the "kid" jumped Zimmerman. Regardless of these facts you can put blame on both of them if you like. I'm not saying either one was right or wrong but I do have two questions?
1) If the "kid" didn't do anything wrong and it was so clear that Zimmerman did….
2) Notice how people are protesting Zimmerman around the country….
Why don't you ever see them protesting gangs, criminals or illegals?
If a young black child is killed by a gang, criminal or illegal you NEVER see the left-wing extemist anti-gun democrats, anti-gun media or inner-city citizens protest against the gangs, criminals or illegals. Might not be the most politically correct thing to say but it is a FACT.
Why is it that anti-gun obama, biden, holder, pelosi or the medai won't place any blame on gangs, criminals or illegals???
Stick to the facts now….
Why won't they place any blame on the ones who are causing 99% of the problems???????????
April 10, 2012 6:08 pm
Wonderful, intelligent perspective. Trayvon's tragic death will either set the American dialog on race back another 100 years, or move us forward by reminding us that "post-racial" is a myth at best in the United States. The best spokespeople on race seem always to be those who have suffered most from its cruelties.
That said, living near the ocean, I always keep a hoodie near at hand.

"the hoodie was not a great item of clothing for professional advancement. That young Black men wearing this clothing weren't going to walk into a job interview and come away with employment and as a result, economic power." How many men of any color go on job interviews wearing sportswear? What's your source for this assertion?

i love wearing black hoodies also I love going to college Oklahoma City Community College. Why did it have to be a death of a child , who happened to be wearing a black hoodie, to die before the world to listen. Let's say Trayvon Martin had on a suit on that night. The coward still would had run him down, jump on him, scream for help & and then shot Martin the chest. WOW!!!!! Where do they do that at? My bad, in the Sunshine State of the Stand Your Ground.. When the law is only protecting a small % of the people who live in the state. Half of the people cant vote, the other' s are in jail, dead or in prison. I am not the smartest person but I will know if a deck of cards are not even. The law is Wack!!!! MAKE MY DAY law also is weak….Black people are dying under both laws.

Sweet Seaside Memories

Holiday of Lights
With the Holiday of Lights show right up the road at the Del Mar race track, L'Auberge Del Mar is the perfect pre-holiday getaway. I have lived in San Diego almost 5 years and have never been to the Holiday of Lights show, so I decided to check it out last night. There were all kinds of illuminated scenes from Santa Claus golfing & playing basketball, to a carnival of lights. Many of the scenes are animated, which makes for a very cool effect. There is something there for everyone to enjoy! The part that I liked the most is that you actually get to drive on the track itself to see all of the lights! I recommend going on a week day. We almost had the track to ourselves and could take as much time as we wanted! It was the perfect activity to get into the Christmas spirit, and with the Holiday of Lights show right up the road, it's just the right time for families to take advantage of our holiday rates. Happy Holidays!

Thank you for your support! Call of Duty® Elite is now shut down.
Our goal with Call of Duty Elite was to make multiplayer a more social, more connected experience, and the current Call of Duty app is the evolution of what began with Call of Duty Elite. Our fans already spend so much time on mobile and tablet devices, so we've taken the best features from Call of Duty Elite forward, along with a handful of new elements, such as Call of Duty Clan Wars, to create the Call of Duty app for Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Download the Call of Duty app for Call of Duty: Ghosts at http://www.callofduty.com/app and give Call of Duty Clan Wars a try today. As a bonus, we're offering two hours of Double XP in Call of Duty: Ghosts for anyone that has used the Call of Duty Elite service since January 2014.

Curling Pants
Although you won't usually confuse curling pants with the latest in high fashion, you know that they are essential to participating and enjoying a good game of curling. Nothing can end a game sooner than the players freezing while out on the ice. With ice surfaces usually several degrees below freezing, you have to wear clothing that will keep you warm and comfortable enough to enjoy the sport, sometimes through several games.
In order for curling pants to do the job they are meant to do, you should remember to look for specific qualities:
- Pants made of slightly stretchy fabric so that they can move when you do
- Curling pants that are lightweight yet warm
- Pants that are made slightly larger in the waist, since you tend to bend over a great deal.

Run down colonial period building, Savannakhet, Southern Laos
Run down colonial period building, Savannakhet, Southern Laos
Taken on: 11th November, 2012. Copyright: All Rights Reserved - See travelfishery's page of Flickr
Read more about Savannakhet
Many travellers pass through the provincial capital of Savannakhet due only to its convenient location 240 kilometres due west of the Dansavanh/Lao Bao border crossing with Vietnam, and five kilometres south of the second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge. But with its charming old town, great local food, relaxed Mekong riverfront and unique nature/culture experiences in the outlying province, Savannakhet is much more than a crossroads to somewhere else. The town offers just enough to see and do without giving up that laidback air southern Laos is famous for.
'Savannakhet' translates roughly to 'Golden Land', and it was historically touted as the place to find the 'best of the best' in Laos. While we wouldn't go quite that far, the area is a classic leftover from the French colonial period and is well worth a few days.
Quiet streets are lined with crumbling but picturesque 100+ year old buildings, constructed during the town's heyday as a French trading outpost. ... Read our complete Savannakhet travel guide

Perhaps the most exciting thing about any new NBA season is the rookie side of the roster. Each team does its best to select the new players that will be most likely to carry them right through the playoffs and into the championship, and that strategy is represented in each rookie throughout the league. Some fail to live up to the hype, of course, but a number of rookies stand out and become the thing that legends are made of. Perhaps that can be seen in some of this year's standouts, like New Orleans rookie Brian Roberts. Though hardly heard of at the beginning of the season, Roberts earned the title of "rising star" as the season went on.
Rookies of the month, like Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers, create a bit more buzz and drive fans to get commemorative photos that they'll proudly show off when names like "Lillard" are the talk of playoffs and championships. Of course, even more seasoned players deserve to have their winning moments memorized in commemorative photos, and we offer a wide range of team photos, stunning frame options, team logos, and matte colors that can make any photo stand out and command attention.
Professional football has quarterbacks and kickers, baseball has pitchers and pinch hitters, and the NBA has its airborne, slam-dunk shooters that can turn any game upside down and send their team unexpectedly to the lockers with another "W" in their column. These top shooters are the things legends are made of, from legends of the past to current shooters like Manu Ginobili and others. In addition to the big names in the game, there's just something that commands attention about a professional basketball player in mid-air, heading for the basket, striving to take his team over the top and into the next game with a well-deserved sense of confidence.
When that moment happens, professional photographers are reliably standing by and waiting to capture it for history. In some cases, the shots themselves become as legendary as the player. A number of NBA photos from past eras are today quite collectible and able to be sold at a high value. For the right photos of any game, of any shooter, we urge our customers to look through our selection by player, by team, or by year, and select the photo that speaks to their inner fan. With a wide variety of frames and logos, we can commemorate any big moment in stunning quality.
While most basketball fans revolve their fandom around the biggest shooters on a team, largely because they're responsible for putting the team over the top and taking them into the next game with a win, a large contingent of fans are focused on something a bit more technical: defensive play. Of course, everyone knows why this is important. Preventing a team from scoring is the first way to win any sports game, especially basketball. This year, people like Marc Gasol are setting records and leaving fans in awe with their ability to completely shut down the opposing team's offense and keep scores almost shockingly low on one side of the scoreboard.
For a performance like that, there's simply no better way to celebrate the big win, or the really big opposing loss, than a commemorative photo of the player. Many of the best defensive players go on to win numerous accolades, including being named the defensive player of the year, increasing the value of these photos a great deal. Our high-quality wooden frames, unique mattes, and hand-assembled team logos make each photo a collector's item that will easily be able to hold its value.
The 2012-2013 season is proving to be a season of "lasts" for the NBA, largely in terms of team names, logos, and players. After the current season, the New Orleans Hornets will officially undergo the quickest name and logo change in NBA history to become 2013-2014's New Orleans Pelicans. Charlotte, where the Hornets got their start, is considering a move to retake the branding and ditch their Bobcats imagery once and for all. Other teams, like the Sacramento Kings, may soon make a move to another city with a more enthusiastic audience.
It all adds up to one thing: Get collector's edition NBA photos before they lose their luster and move to a new city. Though the New Orleans Hornets will soon be a thing of the past, we offer commemorative frames and hand-assembled team logos that will memorialize the feisty mascot forever. Fans celebrating the end of an era, and the dawning of an entirely new chapter in basketball history, need look no further than our long list of players, teams, and years, to find exactly what their collection of sports memorabilia needs after this season.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of barrels taken by Nicolas Tari. A total of 46 barrels produced. This sample taken before any racking has taken place although there will probably be one in May (instead since the 2004 vintage, the wine rests upon its lees with batonnage dependent upon each barrel.) A more Semillon based..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the outstanding successes of the 2009 vintage, this may surpass the superlative 2007. It has a more understated nose at the moment, but is very well defined with honey, white peach, orange peel and crushed stones. The palate has a viscous entry, is very well balanced, very powerful with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Picked in just two tries, 90% picked in one trie, tasting through 13 separate lots, the core components of a great Climens appear to be in place. Paying particular attention to the lots that constitute a large percentage of the blend (usually around 15%) the common themes are ones of great purity,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The flagship sweet wine of Professor Denis Dubourdieu, this is a beautifully made wine and one of the best I have tasted from the chateau. The wine, which is usually about 70% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon, and the rest Muscadelle, exhibits a bold, opulent style with gobs of fruit, some honeyed peach,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The aromas are so rich and powerful, with great ripe apricots. There are honey, spice and beautiful sweet spiced pears. This is an extraordinary wine in an extraordinary year in Sauternes."

Wicked has been casting its spell over audiences across the world for a decade, winning over 90 international awards, and continues to be a "West End sensation" (Daily Mail) at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre where it recently played its landmark 3000th performance.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagined the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Packed with thrilling technical wizardry, dazzling costumes, an ingenious and witty story and show-stopping songs (by multi GRAMMY© and Academy Award© winner Stephen Schwartz), Wicked is "a magical mystery tour through the fantasy land of Oz" (London Evening Standard) that is not to be missed.

Project Instructions
Stitch the petals of one silk flower with 6mm round white pearls and 4mm clear crystal bicones. See photo for reference.
Fill in the center of the flower with twisted oval crystals. Place these with simple stitches again.
Stack several more silk flowers behind to create a layered look. Stitch through the center of the flowers to secure them together.
Create a bow using organza ribbon and attach behind the silk flowers.
Glue in small feathers as you like to add color and texture throughout the bundle.
Cut a round piece of hard felt and glue the flower, ribbon and feather bundle to this.
Cut a round piece of soft felt and glue this to the back of the flower bundle with the headband and a corner of the tulle circle sandwiched in the middle. Use additional stitching to secure the hard and soft felts together and secure the headband placement in between. The floral bundle is somewhat heavy because of the amount of beads involved.
Embellish the tulle by gluing small flat back crystals randomly spaced throughout.

Bringing your family to San Diego this Spring? Good call. You couldn't ask for a better town for your vacation. San Diego is called the Jewel of the Pacific for a reason: warm sun, sparkling ocean, perfect temperatures… and far enough from L.A. that you don't even know it's there. Win!
Trust me, there's plenty to do here without even looking North towards L.A. I've lived here for 20 years, and my 11-year-old daughter and I still enjoy playing tourist on the weekends. Here's how we roll in America's Finest City –join us, won't you?
