IT’S A VIBE, IT’S AN ENERGY, IT’S AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL YOUR TROUBLES CAN BE WASHED AWAY, IT’S THE SOUND OF THE RHYTHMS, IT’S THE MOVEMENT IN YOUR WAISTLINE, IT’S WORLD MUSIC, IT’S FAMILY, IT’S GETTING LOST IN THE FUN OF IT FROM DUSK TIL’ DAWN, IT’S FASHION AND IT’S TRENDY.. WHAT IS IT YOU ASK ?? WELL IT’S DANCEHALL!!!
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, SUMMERS SPENT IN JAMAICA WERE EXTREMELY HEARTENING AND SO DIFFERENT FROM MY SUMMERS IN NEW YORK. WITHOUT TELLING YOU MY AGE (LOL) THE LATE 80s / EARLY 90s DANCEHALL CULTURE WAS SO RAW AND FULL OF VIGOR. THE WOMEN DOMINATED THE SCENE WITH THEIR SEXINESS AND BOLD CONFIDENCE. IT WAS VIBRANT AND STRONGER THAN ANYTHING I’VE SEEN BEFORE. I SOAKED IT ALL UP!! HUGE DOOR KNOCKERS, GOLD TEETH, BELLY CHAINS, RINGS IN YOUR NOSE & ON EVERY FINGER, ANKLETS, CHUNKY BRACELETS, BIG PLAQUE BELTS, STYLISH HATS, YOU NAME IT. THESE BOLD FASHION STATEMENTS STUCK WITH ME. THIS ERA OF GAUDY AND SHINY THINGS IS WHAT I HOPE TO PRESENT TO YOU WITH MY ACCESSORY LINE. THIS IS ME, VANITY BY VEE. ENJOY :-)
