Ask Spry… So, You Want To Be A Model?
Hey Spry, My daughter has always talked about being a model. She will be 17 years old very soon, and I honestly think she has what it takes. I read your post on Fashion Week, and learned that you started as a model. What advice can you give her (or me) to seriously pursue a career in modeling? -Model Mama Dear Model Mama, From the first day I stepped onto a runway, I've been asked this question over and over again. Although there is no sure way to break into the industry, there are a few simple rules that I feel everyone should follow. ...
Ask Spry… Evening Wear For Men???
Hey Spry, I wanted your advice on what to wear to a fundraiser/fashion show, being held by my church. It specifies "evening wear", and as a 30 year old man, I want to look elegant, but with some edge. I guess it's apparent that I have no idea what would work to give this effect. Any suggestions? -Elegant Edge Dear Elegant, First of all, because evening wear is specified, I hope you already know that a (dark) suit is required; and as a 30 year old gentleman, you should already own one! There was once a time where only black suits were acceptable for ...
Hello/Good-bye: Fashion Week At Bryant Park… No More!
From A-list celebrities and Industry VIP's, to volunteers and fashion wanna-bees, NYC Fashion Week was swarming with a variety of the most stylish (and not-so-stylish) dwellers of the "concrete jungle". I, of course, was caught up in the middle of it all. The lines can be infinite, the shows never start on time, the gift bags continue to shrink, and after the first few shows (with some exceptions), fashion literally begins to repeat itself. Yet, we crave this predictable mayhem like another season of The Real Housewives! What will stick with me the longest, is a bitter-sweet farewell to over ...
Ask Spry… Bridesmaid’s Dress Stress!
Hey Spry, I've been arguing with my friend about my upcoming wedding next year (it's not official yet). Anyway, she thinks the bridesmaids have to all wear the same dresses, and I don't think they should. Also, I'm thinking sapphire blue and lime apple are okay colors for my wedding. I need an expert's opinion, so I'm calling on Spry! -Can't Decide Dear Can't Decide, First let me say congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I'm sure you have lots of decisions to make, including the one about the dresses. One of the first things that you need to remember is that your wedding is ...
Spry Gets “Selfish” With Tha Heights!
New comers, Tha Heights, recently tapped into celebrity fashion stylist, Spry Lee Scott, to offer his styling skills for their debut video, "Selfish". The singing sensations, made up of four friends from the Washington Heights area, were more than excited to present the finished product to a room full of industry VIP's/insiders. Check out the video here, featuring female lyricist, Madison, and a guest appearance by Brooke Jasmyn. Their music (dubbed Latin Pop & B) is available for purchase on iTunes now.

Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid, But Sip On Some Sweet Tea…
During Spry Lee Scott's most recent visit to Atlanta, he was offered the opportunity to be a part of something great! An industry heavy hitter, who has grown to be a great friend to Spry, had the pleasure of spending some quality time with brothers, Dr. Cornel West and Clifton West III. Ed Garnes, of FromAfrosToShelltoes, sat down with the brothers to discuss "Sweet Tea Ethics", growing up "West", and Dr. West's newest book, Brother West: Living & Loving Out Loud, A Memoir. The hospitable staff of Barnes & Noble (Camp Creek Marketplace) welcomed an overwhelming crowd of Sweet Tea ...
Let’s Talk About Pep…
On Monday, January 11, 2010, VH1 launched their newest reality show, Let's Talk About Pep"; about 4 women and their crazy dating experiences. One of the show's stars, Jacque Reid, solicited Spry's styling expertise to dress her for a few episodes. On Tuesday, January 19, the ladies came together in NYC to celebrate the launch and early success of the hit series. Spry Lee Scott hung out in VIP with the show's executive producer, Cheryl "Salt" James, as well as the cast and other celebs/industry folks. See exclusive pics from the party below.

Introducing New Designer, Dora Abodi
In September, 2009, during Sping/Summer 2010 fashion week, I had the pleasure of meeting Budapest-based designer, Dora Abodi. Although my fashion week schedule didn't permit me to make to the runway show on time, I was granted an opportunity to have a private viewing of the clothing. Immediately, I fell in love! I found the architecture her designs to be innovative, and her attention to details extremely impressive. Before her retreat back to Hungary, she permitted me to create and present my own interpretation of her collection. I enlisted the help of some of the top industry professionals, including Jon ...
10 Years And Counting…
Someone once said that it takes 10 years (or 10,000 hours) to make someone an expert. If this is the case, then I just graduated with honors! In August of 1999, I started my company, Milado, Inc., A Total Entertainment Development Company. My mission was (and still is) to infiltrate the fashion and entertainment industries, by making the world beautiful, one person at a time. Although my intentions were focused more on the external characteristics of those persons I would come in contact with, I slowly transitioned into feeling the need to enhance one's inner strengths. Still, there was a ...
Letoya Luckett Celebrates “Lady Love”
Last night in NYC, Letoya Luckett (no longer needing the title "formerly of...") celebrated the release of her sophomore album, Lady Love. New York's number one female promoter, Patty Laurent filled club Cain Luxe, while DJ Goldfinger killed it on the turntables. I, along with other celebs and industry VIP's, was there to help her celebrate.

A Deeper Look Into Spry…
Recently, on one of my trips to Atlanta, I had the pleasure of sitting down for an in-depth interview with Ed Garnes of From Afros to Shelltoes. This, I must say, is the best interview thus far that I've had since my career began. Sharing laughs, industry insights, ah-hah moments and now-and-laters, our scheduled one hour conversation, turned into three. Although fashion was at the forefront of the discussion, the transition to inspiration and family values (amongst other topics), was an easy one. For the first time, I was able to open up about more than just my cut-and-dry career ...
Three Throwbacks for Thursday # 7
Ghetto Funeral Songs..... If you've been following me on Twitter, Facebook, etc., then you know I've recently experienced death in the family. This week's throwbacks is my way of cheering myself up. I look back at some of the funerals I've been to (and I've been to quite a few), and remember some of those songs that were infamous for bringing thugs to tears, and kick-starting the "baby-mama-drama" show. Enjoy!
Smart is Cool!
I had to post this video. Introducing Kennyi Aouad, who was one of the top competitors in last night's National Spelling Bee. I loved him because not only is he brilliant, but he does not take life too seriously. You can tell he truly enjoys life and being a child. So many of our young people are quick to share how bad they're doing in school, yet shy away from telling about excelling and their accomplishments. It's so important to teach our kids that it's cool to be smart again! Although this video is ...
Three Throwbacks For Thursday #6
"I've been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off!" Hey Everyone!!! We've missed a couple of Thursdays together due to some personal matters that needed my immediate attention. However, I'm back!!!! This week's throwbacks are dedicated to all of those persons getting ready to graduate (or who've already done so). Remember those popular songs that would be played at every graduation the year it came out. Or even worse, the countless renditions of it. Well, here are three songs that will forever bring back memories of having to so long (or see you next year) to my schoolmates. ...
King of My Destiny
On Friday, May 8, 2009, I joined over 300 persons who graduated from Boys and Girls High School (Brooklyn), to reunite and celebrate each other's accomplishments and successes! During this unforgettable event, I had the privilege of being crowned reunion king. The winners (king and queen) were selected through a voting process, where the nominees had to submit an essay, and the reunion attendees voted based on the writings alone. It was truly a humbling experience, and I wanted to share my essay with you all (below). At first, I was kind of skeptical about writing this, because ...
Three Throwbacks for Thursdays #5
Back to Brooklyn (continued): Since many of you clearly pointed out that way before the artists that were posted in last week's throwbacks, there were othe Brooklyn Emcee's that repped BK hard. With that being said, here are some "older" school rappers that helped Brookyln find it's way on the map!
Prom Makeover…
America wants to hear good news… Celebrity Stylist, Spry Lee Scott and Radio Personality Déjà Vu to the Rescue! Although the prom is not considered a “need”, it is in many cases, a defining moment in a young lady’s life. Prom is a celebration of academic achievement, the future and friendship, yet there are some young people who don’t have an opportunity to participate in this important rite of passage. Young women in foster care often don’t attend because of things that others may take for granted, like having that special gown that sets them apart from the rest. This contest gives ...
Three Throwbacks for Thursdays #4
This week, I had the pleasure of speaking at my old high school, Boys & Girls High, which is located in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Although, I've been returning annualy for the past few years, walking the halls always brings back memories. This week's throwbacks are dedicated to Brooklyn, and the artists that help put BK on the map. Shout out to my cousin B-Lyte (dancer for Special Ed). Look for her around 1:08 in the blue sweater and yellow turtleneck. LOL!

The Next Big Thing (I mean RING)!
To celebrate his birthday, Spry Lee Scott’s favorite jeweler - Melody Burns of Kiini Ibura Jewelry - gifted him with a ring that one could only imagine. As much as he loves it, the only downside (according to Spry) is that when he wears it out, “the ring” gets more attention than him (of course, this can be a problem for a Leo)....
