Swag 101: The Conversation Denzel Washington Should Have With Steve Harvey
by Yvette Carnell
Am I the only one who sees this? Denzel Washington covers October’s GQ, and kills it. Denzel, fully comfortable and at home in his own skin, 
emotes an authentic masculinity so powerful that it borders on hypnotic.
Denzel Washington is not just a man who wears a good suit. It’s not incidental. He is a man, and therefore, he wears a good suit. In that sense, wearing a good suit is a consequence of manhood.
But thoughts of Denzel covering GQ uproot, at least in my mind, images of his fashion opposite – Steve Harvey. When I think of Harvey, I immediately chuckle at the SNL skit mocking the suits in The Steve Harvey Collection:
Steve Harvey: You like this suit playa?
Contestant: It’s very nice.
Steve Harvey: It’s from The Steve Harvey Collection! You know how many buttons it’s got? 50! 10 just inside the sleeves right here!
10 Buttons is 10 buttons too many.
To me, Steve Harvey’s look is a lot like the awkward look of a teen when he first tries to his exchange saggy jeans for his Sunday best. It’s an insecure look, indicative of a man not fully grown, not mature enough to appreciate the shape of his shoulders, thighs, or collar. It’s a flat rendition of mahood, one which grandma applauds, hoping that it will get better over time, still, all the while, knowing that it is a lot better than the saggy jeans and overpriced sneakers. It’s a start.
We tend to assume that celebrities know everything, and that’s why they’re rich and successful, but it’s worth considering that, sometimes, they don’t do any better because they don’t know any better. Maybe oversized, ill-fitting, zoot suits are all Steve Harvey knows. And maybe it’s time for Denzel to make a phone call and put a bug in his ear. Time for a man to man chat about what fashion is and isn’t.

Tell J Anthony Brown and the rest of these pimp 2.0 suit wearing clowns too.
From what I see in the bootleg videos between Boyce and Yvette, before criticizing Harvey, she should look in the mirror at her own wardrobe because she could definitely use a couple of zoot suits and a make-over to help with that freckle face and hair. lol
From what I know, Yvette is a freelancer (if I’m wrong, please correct me). I’m sure if she had millions and a New York Times bestseller, as Harvy does, she wouldn’t be wearing $2 pimp suits. And how can folk control whether they have freckles or not? But the earlier commenter is right about J. Anthony Brown. Yvette should’ve included a lot more folk in this commentary. Steve Harvey is an easy one, but there are a lot of offenders!
Better for Yevette to wear her crown in locks. It beats that tiresome artificial look (and mentality) of sisters with blonde weaves, “relaxed” hair, wigs and blue contacts. We meed more women of color who refuse to mutilate their hair to make it look like something it isn’t to fit a white standard. More sisters need to break away from the self-hate, shake off the brain-washed thinking, and be their natural, nappy, kinky, lock-wearing, naturally curly selves. Stop trying to be imitation white women. You are not a barbie dipped in chocolate.
If Denzel need to have a talk with Steve Harvey. Than Idris Elba needs to have a talk with all of manhood!!!!
Yes, and Lenny Kravitz should have a talk with Prince about how to make his new afro look good.
Part of looking sophisticated in a suit involves how well a man’s body looks. Denzel takes care of himself and is in good shape, therefore is he can’t help but look appealing in an appropriately tailored, classic suit. If guy is pudgy and out of shape, then it is bit more difficult to get the tailoring correct and find a clothing that will enhance his look. Even a standard, quality off-the-rack suit that is well tailored should always good on man who takes care of his body.
You mean to tell me I’m not the only one who has thought this? Hmmmm …
Laughing My A** Off Loudly
I doubt that Steve can be told much of anything lately. He’s being propped up as the latest answer man, who tells black men and women all the answers to all our problems. I may be wrong but I sense an air of insincerity about the whole thing. He just does not seem for real to me.
Steve Harvey dresses horrible and his expensive suits can be found at K$ G and other discounted stores. Shoes too. The patterns and fabric are cheaply made. UuUgggh
Leave Steve Harvey alone. Denzel looks like a million dollars too.
S H, has always struck me as
Country as h**l, have D talk too him about those stupid a*s books he put out, as well!!
Please is there any love anywhere out there……………..
Now,Yvette ,Let grown folks dress in what they feel comfortable in.At least his pants is not a foot below his buttocks and I don’t have to look at his underpants.Let’s move on to another subject.That is so not iimportant!
Can’t believe I wasted 2 min reading this and another 30 seconds responding. I should have known the writer was wack when the article features a very dapper Steve Harvey in a TWO BUTTON suit. It’s obvious from his new talk show that his style has evolved and if she had actually visited K&G recently then she would know that his on the rack offerings have as well. This is what Nicki Minaj raps about when she talks about b*m #%*#%. There has to be something more constructive this author could have been doing with her time, like buying some style?i
steve is a hot mess looking like a down south pimp 1
I LIKE THE LOOSE FITTING SUITS SUCH AS WHAT STEVE HARVEY WEARS, IT’S MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE FOR ME. I’VE BEEN WEARING THAT 40s or 50s STYLE PRIMARILY BECAUSE THAT’S MY INDIVIDUAL TASTE, PREFERENCE OR STYLE. I DIDN’T CHOOSE IT BECAUSE STEVE SAID IT OR BECAUSE OF ANYONE ELSE, BUT TO BE SO ADOLESCENT AS TO RIDICULE A PERSON BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO WEAR WHAT THEIR PREFERENCE IS OR ONE MAN’S STYLE SHOULD BE ANOTHERS IS IGNORANT. THE EUROPEAN FIT, LOOK OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT MAY WORK FOR SOME AND NOT OTHERS. EVERYONE ISN’T BUILT FOR THAT EUROPEAN LOOK AND IT SHOWS. THE CLOTHES LOOK TOO TIGHT AND UNCOMFORTABLE ON SOME. YOU ALSO HAVE SOME WHO CAN’T ROCK THE 40s or 50s LOOK EITHER. I HAVE MY CLOTHES CUSTOM MADE BECAUSE THAT WAY THE “FIT” ME IN EVERY AREA. THIS LOOK CAN SWALLOW A PERSON THAT DOESN’T HAVE THE BUILD FOR IT. I’M NOT DEFENDING STEVE HARVEY NOR AM I SLAMMING DENZEL WASHINGTON I’M JUST SAYING IT’S ABOUT PERSONAL CHOICE.
THE STYLE A PERSON CHOOSES IS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE. BECAUSE ONE HIGH PROFILE INDIVIDUAL CHOOSES A PARTICULAR STYLE AND ANOHER CHOOSES SOMETHING ELSE DOESN’T MAKE EITHER ONE OF THE WRONG, THAT ADOLESCENT AND IGNORANT. I PREFER THE 40s 50s LOOK THAT IS A MORE LOOSE AND COMFORTABLE FEEL AND LOOK VERSUS THE EUROPEAN LOOK. HE EUROPEAN LOOK DOESN’T FIT ME BECAUSE OF THE WAY I’M BUILT. THIS LOOK LOOKS OKAY ON SOME , BUT ON OTHERS IT LOOKS TOO TIGHT AND UNCOMFORTABLE. PERSONALLY I HAVE MY CLOTHES CUSTOM MADE TO ENSURE THAT THE “FIT” IS JUST RIGHT IN EVERY AREA OF MY CLOTHING AS TO NOT LOOK SWALLOWED UP AND AT THE SAME TIME I’M NOT GOING TO HAVE FIFTY ELEVEN BUTTONS ON MY SUIT EITHER, BUT IF THAT’S YOU THANG DO YOU BE AN INDIVIDUAL AND HAVE YOUR OWN STYLE, CAUSE IMMO ROCK MY GEAR WEATHER IT WORKS FOR YOU AND ANYBODY ELSE OR NOT. I DRESS FOR ME, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT AND ALTHOUGH I GET PLENTY OF COMPLIMENTS I DON’T DO IT FOR THAT AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THEM AT THE SAME TIME.
BRAVO! Somebody say it again. The first difference is the physical make up. Denzel is well toned and refined. Steve is a fat boy waiting for just one more slice of cake. Denzel’s taste is classic and classy. Steve is a self made man and has very little classic taste. He has only gotten better since he has gotten married. She (Marjorie) only begin looking better once she got access to Steve’s millions and got a personal trainer and stylist. She lost weight and had her teeth done. Money can buy some things but never class. I venture to say Steve will get better as time marches on because he has Marjorie reading and paying attention and guiding him but he will never be Denzel and have class and style.
If this is all we have to talk about with all of the really serious issues taking place in our communities then we are in worse shape than I thought? Both Steve Harvey and Denzel Washington are good brothers doing their best to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of Black people. Steve is a comedian, first and foremost, that’s what he does! He’s never said that he was an expert in any of the things he tries to get us to apply to our lives to have identity, purpose and direction. There are tons of White people giving us all sorts of incorrect advice that doesn’t exactly fit our cultural frame of reference either. How come you’re not lambasting them for wearing BS clothes…etc. Some of you don’t even get where Steve is coming from? He ‘s using ‘Old Skool’ mother wit logic and weaving that into his comedic skills brilliantly!! Get off his case and go pick up a book and learn something about your history before attempting to criticize Steve Harvey about his clothes.
Really? Is that all you can find to report on? Once again bashing African-Americans! Just completely sad.
Good Point, Sagarian. Furthermore, we need to quit thinking that “entertainers” have the solutions to society’s problems. There are plenty of brilliant minds in our communities that we could turn to to find solutions, not Ophrah Winfrey or Denzel Washington.
And u get no dap with them polyester suits well. ..lolol
what a waste of space. this has got to be one of the most awfuly written articles this year. whovgivesa f**k what a person wears.
Personally, I think it’s unfair to compare Steve Harvey to Denzel Washington. I’m a black man who ain’t ugly and have a definate style, I wouldn’t stand a chance against the perennial pennical of style, sophistication and raw “gotta have some of that” magnetism that transcends race, culture overall swag. Denzel is the man and has been the man for decades.
Steve on the other hand is just an average guy who did good for himself and “dressed wit what he was blessed wit”. Is he country? Yes. Is he unsophisticated? Absolutely! But you can’t deny his determination and focus. That said, I applaud him.
Far too often, us pseudo-sophisticates, want to criticize unique brothers and sisters because they don’t live up to our standards. Let’s get it together and learn to appreciate that which makes us who we are.
Thanks Steve for remaining true to yourself and expressing that special thing that makes you who you are.
Of course there are more serious topics to discuss.
But there is no harm in commenting on the less serious items from time to time, which are obviously on some people’s minds. The comments aren’t hateful, only honest observances. I’m chuckiling reading the comments.
Just the fact that Steve is writing these books, is a claim to be some sort of expert…but from the excerpts, I will never buy one.
Merely presenting a clothing line suggests that he knows something about fashion as well. Obviously, not always true…but some people will follow anything or anyone. Funny and brilliant are two words that I would never associate with Steve Harvey. But calculating fellow to take advantage of the many followers who hang on his every word. Sad that people believe that Blacks are a monolith, all thinking/acting the same, and unfortunately Steve in front of the camera enforces that. Yes, Denzel is stylish and classy. Steve is merely taking advantage of the masses.
I can’t believe you wrote an article about this. I love Denzel-I have yet o see anyone who can touch him. What did you just pick Steve out of a hat? City vs country (???)
Actually, I would prefer that Steve Harvey work on his grammar. Ebonics might have been fine for stand-up but when you move forward you need to present a different image, especially if you are going to present yourself as the guru of the black race.
Then we can address those suits.
I have to agree with Sagarian. This reminds me of the petty people who attacked Gabby’s hair during the Olympics. We do have too much work to do on real issues facing our community, including the dumbing down of our children and the degradation and exploitation of Women of Color in music and other media. Talk and do something about that!!! Please work with me to end the exploitation and degradation of Women of Color through the music and other media and the destruction of our children’s minds..thus the mental and spiritual genocide of our people? Nuala Cabral said it perfectly in her open letter to Lucien Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group in response to the recently released video by 2 Chainz. “The only way is to stop consuming the product. Pause the exploitation by reducing profits, market share, and brand loyalty. Women of color, and others that feel this is too far over the line — will have to organize and hit the industry in the wallet. Stop buying the music and stop supporting the artists on all levels. Concerts, merchandise, record sales, downloads, ringtones, and any other economic ventures….” ****
Those willing to organize with me, in box your email address to me so we can begin the process of reconstruction. If not us, who; if not now, when?

Wah? Who the h**l is Yvette Carnell? I’m Definitely no Steve Harvey fan but however the h**l they dress, Denzel Washington and Steve Harvey both are MULTIMILLIONAIRES! While this broke azz, so called journalist (Carnell) writes about dumb azz shyt like this! Woman get some Substance and a Real d**n life!
Gee Whiz Yvette, you know how to play a player!!!! l***o…..Denzel looks SCRUMPTIOUS, Indeed…. And Steve oh well, he needs a good STYLIST. He must be cheap, because it’s no excuse for his style now a days. And if he has a stylist, fire that A$$.
Please leave Yvette alone; She is speaking the TRUTH. Denzel-HAVE…….Steve-HAVE NOT…Good Taste!
You people (haters) kill me. Both Steve and Denzel are successful. If you don’t like Steve’s Apparel, then dammit don’t buy it, but to call the man derogatory names is unecessary. Besides, bet if your behinds were raking in the cash from his Apparel you wouldn’t be complaining. This is the c**p white people love. Watching Black people tear down their own.
I’m thinking the most important thing about how Steve Harvey dresses is if he’s pleased with it. This isn’t the same as criticizing sagging pants or belts as skirts. Sounds like Yvette needed something to hate on. Happy Sunday to her.
Com’on People, we have much more important issues to discuss than this…Denzel and Steve Harvey are Two Fine, Good Looking, and Very Successful Black Men…We need to be Successful Too!!
Different strokes for different folks! You cannot compare the two men, each has their own style. And…as Ana says, there are much more important issues that we as a Race need to be discussing.
It is so disheartening the way African Americans dissect each other like mad scientists in a research lab! And seemingly this occurs when one of “us” is at the pinnacle of sucess:Gabby Douglas the world class gymnast that garnered Olympic gold medals was criticised by some Black women for her “nappy” roots! Beyonce’s beautiful baby girl was called “ugly” “big-lipped”! Tamara Mowry from the game wrote a public letter asking fans to stop writing ugly insults about her adorable son! And now we have a supposedly intelligent scholar writing denigrating insults about Steve Harvey’s wardrobe in comparison to Denzel Washington’s fashion preference! WTH?!
At a time when police are shooting and killing Blacks as though we are enemy combatants, and GOP leaders have pushed voter suppression laws to prevent people of color from voting for Obama,and while 31 year old Marissa Alexander the mother of three from Jacksonville serves her 20 year prison sentence for firing a warning shot into the wall of her abusive husbands home after he threatened to kill her;should we really be fueding over Washington and Harvey’s wardrobe?! Shame on you Yvette! Write a letter to Gov. Rick Scott about exonerating Marissa Alexander instead of the b.s. you wrote about the two successful celebrities!!!
My style is more like Denzel, and I, like he, look very good in it!
I’ve just have the physical down pat also!
I say each to his own. I don’t have either’s $$, I have learn I can purchase a $400.00 suit take it to this brother I know who is a tailor and when finished the suit looks like $1500.00 on me!
Brothers do your thing, but, look like a man not an old boy, in what you wear, why would anyone want to look like a pimp? Not even a pimp should look like one!
This was a frivolous waste of time. What we should be focused on is what’s on our brothers’ MINDS, not their bodies.
Hey this is just an article people so stop crying like little babies! Yes Denzel is the man while the other guy looks, talks and act like a country guy stuck in the 1940′s yes this brother has the nerve to give advice to the whole black race instead of correcting himself yes white America looks at him as a baffoon and yes he’s rich but like Tyler Perry, white people pay handsomely to take the black back 8 decades!
What’s the big deal? Let’s keep it for real a suit is just a suit who’s behind it, and who’s heart is in it and what they represent is what actually what matters the most, every suit don’t and not suppose to fit every man the same, you get different results when a skinny, masculine, fat, chubby man try on the same suit, use your imagination and your visualization this is not the time to be haters, you go trim down so you can go fit in a suit, I’m talking about correctly!!!!!!Both Steve Harvey and Denzel Washington both look very dam good, and have something positive to bring to the table, and I’m not talking about food on a dish!!!!!!!!
There are a few layers to what I want to say here so I’ll try to keep it as compact as possible.
I’ve never been a fan of Harvey’s comedy or his dress. His TV show was a fav of mine mostly because of Ced and my boy Bullethead. I can’t even fault him for the rumors of scheming behind Bernie Mac’s back because there wasn’t any hardcore proof of it. I think he’s decent guy and entertainer.
The problem I have with Steve Harvey is that oftentimes he comes off as an elitist. I remember years ago when he was honored at an award show and unbeknownst to him his first wife came out to present the award. Well, it looked a lot like they were going through something because her speech was a bit snarky saying something like ‘successful people must stay humble and grounded.’ She spoke to Steve directly holding up a basic-looking wristwatch and said ‘this is the watch that you were wearing when we met’. To me this indicated that Steve may have been feeling his success a bit too much. Another incident was when Harvey was hosting an award show and told the audience to ‘give a round of applause to all the men who came here in suits’. As if this truly indicates a level of class or sophistication. Ok Steve.
Flash forward to today and here is someone bashing Harvey for HIS dress. It’s almost as if the writer is saying ‘let’s give a round of applause to all the men who aren’t wearing multiple-button suits’ LOL. As I said, I’m no fan of the look however I will admit that Harvey pulls it off as do many men that I’ve seen. The style that Denzel is working here seems to be more of the athletic cut or the ‘European look’ as I like to call it. Much like Harvey’s look, this won’t work for everyone (especially the double-breasted suits; I guess they’re coming back). So yeah, to each his/ her own.
A typical misandrist article from Yvette. What else would we expect by now? Those of us who are men will tell you just by looking at those suits the only major difference is that Denzel is wearing a double breated suit while Steve is wearing a 2 button with a vest underneath. The suit Denzel is wearing is for more athletic men while Steve is wearing that middle aged overweight can’t leave that soul food alone type. The major satorial mistake that Steve makes is wearing a pocket hankerchief the same exact color and pattern as his tie. This mistake is often made by men who’s fathers and grandfathers either are in jail or died before their young men were old enough to wear their first suit. Only waiters are supposed to match their tie and jacket hankerchief. You are normally supposed to pick a contrasting solid or go with solid white. The problem with the European cut for men and especailly us Black Men about several years ago they raised the waistline on the jacket, took out the pleat in the pants and stylized a more sharkskin look thanks to the show “Mad Men” which featured old white guys in advertising from the late 50′s to 60′s when this suit style first came out. Straight non pleated pants cut off your b***s when you sit down and ride up constantly. Of course your average woman wouldn’t know that. The higher waist on the jacket makes you look even fatter if you are over the average 160 to 185 pound frame. Who wants to see a fat man in a tight suit? Gut hanging from under the jacket and pants riding up. This is why Steve is wearing the loose look. But doesn’t it seem strange how on these types of blogs your typical Black woman goes into attack dog mode if anyone dares criticize another Black Woman as part of the clan. We are never supposed to talk s**t about Beyonce’s country a*s blonde ridicolous weaves, Rihanna’s how to be a herion w***e clothing style or Precious being morbidly obese. We are told about how much money those women make and to shut up. We are told how unsuccessful we are and we should be like them. It always cracks me up how these keyboard revoluntionaries like Yvette idolize Black Men who are dead like King or Malcolm who would both be dressed exactly like Denzel and Steve if they were still alive but always find some trivial bullshit to chip away at a Black Man they find unattractive or not up to their bullshit standards. With all these sociopaths, rapist, racists, killers, drug dealers and psychotic cops running around murdering Black people every day the last thing I’m worried about is how some f*****g multi-millionaire dresses. I can’t stand Steve Harvey. One of the worst things that happens in our community is when someone becomes a little successful in one area. They all of a sudden act like they can run their mouth about anything and we are supposed to just shut up and listen. Hence, Steve giving people relationship advice although he has never been in a long term successful relationship. But this article was complete bullshit. Anyone who judges another human being, not on their works or what they do but on how they look or dress is my enemy. Just flat out I hate people like you and always will. I avoid people like you, like the plague itself. Superficial, shallow, lame and trained like a pet. For those of us older than twelve remember when they said that we were scum for wearing afros and dashiki’s. Yvette you don’t define Steve or his culture. He does. Just like everyone else. You can have your opinion and that’s fine. But who are you to tell us which one is better? Sounds like one of those old a*s Black people that prefer to go to a white restaurant because the water is colder. If Steve is a country a*s ninja, why wouldn’t he dress like one? Maybe country a*s women like men who dress like Steve? That’s his base, his culture. Do you look at pictures of Africans in Africa and think why don’t they put on some socks and bra’s? This article is the equivalent of men sitting around saying some Hip Hop Urban model is a better woman than Hillary Clinton or Condoleeza Rice because they look better. Only Kulture Kritic would publish some dumb a*s disguised eurocentric code word laced article like this opinion piece like its fact. I have never seen a mechanic fix my car wearing a suit, never seen a man filling up bags during a hurricane in a suit, never seen a paramedic closing up a childs gunshot wound wearing a suit. Are all these people country bumpkins that deserve our disdain as not being real men because they don’t live up to your Eurocentric standards of what a “man” should dress and look like? Just like men don’t get to define women in our society anymore. What gives you the right to define what is a man? We define ourselves. If Steve wants to wear bozo the clown suits, you or no one else gets to castrate his b***s because of it. How stupid would a man sound saying you aren’t a woman with a real uterus because you don’t wear skirts past your knees? Exactly. Keep writing bullshit and I’ll keep calling you out on it.
These two men are admired. Whats your problem? Who are you? Do you have a problem With black man doing well and admired. Is there anything else you have to report, like who is the next black president. Find something to talk about.
I AGREE MARY, THEY ARE NOT ONLY SEXY BUT THEY EXHIBIT A POWERFUL MESSAGE TO OUR YOUTH. HOWEVER, SOMEONE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY…MR. HARVEY IS DOING AND GIVING A LOT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. WHY YOU DON’T PRAISE HIM FOR THAT..YVETTE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES? HOW ABOUT BEING APART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT THE PROBLEM. WHY HIS DRESS WEAR HAS TO BE AN ISSUE. PARTICULARLY SINCE HE IS NEAT AND WELL GROOMED. THAT’S WHAT MANY OF US INTELLIGENT BLACKWOMEN DESIRE IN A MAN BESIDES BRAINS, OF COURSE. I CAN SEE IF HE WAS SLOPPY & BAD HYGIENE. WE NEED MORE BLACK MEN TO STEP UP AND SHOW A POSITIVE & WELL GROOMED DISPOSTION TO OUR YOUNG BOYS, MEN & GIRLS/WOMAN. HOW ABOUT TALKING ABOUT HOW SLOPPY MANY OF OUR BLACKMEN — YOUNG AND OLD DRESS. PANTS SAGGING..PANTS HANGING..HAVING TO KEEP PULLING THEM UP BECAUSE NO BELT. HOW ABOUT HOW WOMEN DRESS..b***s HANGING OUT. SKIN TIGHT PANTS. THERE’S A TIME TO BE SO CALLED SEXY. HOWEVER, YVETTE, AND THOSE WITH HER LINE OF THINKING..WHEN YOU DO CRITISIZE, BE CONSTRUCTIVE & HOW ABOUT ADDING A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM THAT CAN IMPACT OUR RACE IN A POSITIVE WAY. ALL OF US NEED KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR YOUTH ARE FOLLOWING BEHIND US AND EVERYONE OF US SERVE AS A ROLE MODEL WE LEARN FROM WHAT WE SEE – AS WITH FROM WHAT WE HEAR! I GET DISGUSTED WHEN WE CONTINUE TO SHOW THE IGNORANTS LEARNED FROM OUR ENSLAVERS CARRYING ON THE CONTINUED GENOCIDE OF CONQUER & DIVIDE. NO ONE ELSE PUT THIER RACE DOWN BUT N===!
I don’t particularly care for those Bozo suits that Steve Harvey wears nor that funny looking clown outfits Jay Anthony Brown wears. But there is a market for them and everyone has their druthers. Me, I tell my kids “dont you ever bury me in one of those suits” !!
I’ve met guys that swear by S H suits, we still have that loud dress mentality from Africa something bright and shiny. Like Bishop Don Juan in green and gold. question is do pimps need to bring that much attention to themselves in this day and time. In the 60′s and 70′s yeah but too many are just moving targets for the Man to take shots at.
I dressed a little outlandins when I was younger but as I got older I moved more towards mainstream. I think wearing something unique yet current in the latest style is over the top hip. I know women who will not hold a conversation with a guy in one of those glown suits nor would they get into baggy sagging pants and oversized Tee shirts. I am just saying, clothes don’t make the man; but the way you dress is the first part of the man that you are meets the world.
Sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, Steve Harvey is a loudmouth, bucktooth bigheaded country a@@ clown. To see him host Family Feud is embarrassing.
Denzel, the man invented the word classy. He gets better with age.
