Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Grace the April Cover of Vogue

We haven't confessed this to you before, but we are fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  As mind-numbingly vapid as it is, we find the Kardashian clan pretty darn entertaining.  Like the Braxton sisters, we're amused by the playful banter between Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.


With Kimye's impending nuptials and the persistence of the fashionable Mr. West, we can't say this Vogue cover comes as a complete surprise. But we still can't help but wonder how Anna Wintour really feels about the reality TV starlet being the face of the April issue?  Either way, if Lena Dunham is good enough to grace the cover, then sex tape aside why not Kim? They're both powerful, young-ish celebs in their own right, and Kim obviously loves fashion (not all of her looks have been winning, but there's no denying her dedication to materialism). And whether you love her or hate her, Kim is arguably one of the most beautiful girls in the world.

So kudos on your Vogue cover, Kim. Check out the behind-the-scenes video of the shoot below, featuring the couple's adorable baby girl, North West.

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...
