A BROTHER'S STORY: JIMI HENDRIX!

Jimi's younger brother, Leon, sets the record straight on the life of this musical icon. From Jimi's experimentation with the sound and vibration of plucking wires attached to the posts of their brass bed to the moment he picked up his first stringed instrument, this is a fresh and intimate look at an enduring icon from the brother who was there from the beginning. Leon sheds light on the origin and meaning of classic Hendrix tunes, which Jimi would play for his brother over the phone as he wrote them on the road. He also chronicles the complicated Hendrix family dynamic, the culture of sex and drugs that came with Jimi's stardom, and his tragic death. In time for what would have been Jimi's 70th birthday in 2012, this captivating account sheds new light on rock and roll's genuine legend.

ICONS of MEN's STYLE

So..Just to make it clear before any accusation, incrimination and much more
(God knows what women are capable of!)
We (fashionspam) adore, love, appreciate, admire & cherish women!
BUT
We are going to start a series entitled
ICONS of MEN's STYLE!
(Inspired by the homonymous book by Josh Sims, 
by 40s, 50s & 60s movies & tv shows, 
and by personal favourites)


The reason is simple:
Womenswear progresses in leaps and bounds, fuelled by the readiness of women to wear what may 
at the time be perceived as the radical or outrageous. 
Not so with menswear menswear evolves, slowly. 
But from what? 
Behind nearly every item in the modern male wardrobe is a first of its kind the definitive item, 
often designed by a single company or brand for specialist use, 
on which all subsequent versions have been based 
(and originals of which are now collector items in the booming vintage market)

So, whether you like the idea or not
(We will see in the 'pageviews' statistics!)


And ladies, don't worry, any single inspirational
outfit, dress, ring, shoe, bracelet, nail, handbag
WILL BE UPLOADED DIRECTLY HERE HERE
