4 Fashionable Pink Ribbon Items for Breast Cancer Awareness

Who needs a reason to shop? Especially when it's for a good cause.  So here are four fashionable ways to help raise awareness and benefit breast cancer research.

Fergie Hope shoe, $45
1. HauteLook and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation are hosting a Pink Weekend Sale Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.  Items on sale range from lip gloss and a flat iron to designer jewelry and handbags.

2. Step out in style wearing the Hope shoe from the Fergie Footwear Fall 2010 collection. Fergie's Hope shoe ($45; half its original retail price) will be available during the QVC presents "FFANY Shoes on Sale" event on Oct. 15th.  All the net proceeds of the Hope shoe -- and the 100,000-plus pairs of shoes donated by footwear companies to QVC -- go to breast cancer research.  To date "FFANY Shoes on Sale" has sold more than one million pairs of shoes and donated more than $32.5 million in net proceeds to breast cancer research.

3. Show  your support for breast cancer with a Chic Glamour bracelet by Swarovski Crystallized ($58). Adorned with Swarovski Elements, this pretty pink bracelet is available during the month of October.

RevitaLash, prices vary

4. Lash out against breast cancer with RevitaLash (check website for pricing).  The product was created by an ophthalmologist after his wife's eyelashes were devastated by chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer.  RevitaLash's parent company, Athena Cosmetics, has donated $10,000 to support forward-looking breast cancer research projects.

    I love Fergie's pink shoes. I could not believe that the shoes cost for only $45. It's a great idea to donate some of the proceeds to breast cancer research.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing.  As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...
