You know fashion’s gone mainstream when not only is it in Macy’s but they’ve put it on display museum-style, exploring and analyzing its history. In Columbus, Ohio, no less. Such is the case of urban fashion and “bling”, which is the focus of a new exhibit called “Bling: Sampling Hip-Hop Fashion and the Urban Aesthetic”:
The exhibit, which incorporates fashion displays, performances, movies and lectures, pays homage to the birth of hip-hop fashion.
Hip-hop fashion has invaded mainstream style as well as high-end haute couture. “Bling” represents that growth and the power this simple movement from New York has had.

J. Lo is one busy Boricua. La Lopez will be producing a film called Reggaeton along with Simon Fields for Nuyorican Productions and by Sofia Sondervan on behalf of SONY BMG Film. The flick is about a young man from the boogie down Bronx who falls in love with a Puerto Rican girl and the booty shakin music known as reggaeton while in hiding in the isla del encanto. The movie is set to begin filming in New York City and Puerto Rico this spring.
By the time filming commences Jenny from the block may be sporting a bump on her belly as sources have been spotting her and her marido, singer Marc Anthony, stocking up on baby gear.

I want the other minority: workplace discrimination

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece today about a supposed trend in the working world — blacks are being passed over for positions as employers show favoritism towards Latino candidates:
This kind of case marks a shift from years past, when blacks were likely to seek legal action against employers who showed preferential treatment toward whites. The cases highlight mounting tension between Hispanics and blacks as they compete for resources and job opportunities.
Recently, the federal agency announced it also secured a $180,000 settlement from Zenith National Insurance Corp., a national workers-compensation specialist, to be divided among 10 blacks who applied for a mailroom job at its headquarters in Woodland Hills, Calif. The job was offered to a Latino man with no mailroom experience, according to the EEOC.

Yesterday the wife and four grown children of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet were indicted and arrested on charges of tax evasion related to multimillion-dollar accounts at overseas banks, including account here in the United States. Lucia Hiriart and her children Lucia, Veronica, Jacqueline and Marco Antonio were all released on bail. The conditional release can be revoked by the Santiago Court of Appeals.
