Ask Spry… What To Wear?

Hey Spry,

I am getting a new dress made for a party. Its Emerald green taffetta, just below the knee. I want to look elegant (its at a church) but still stylish with a little edge. I wish i could post a pic. So the question is what color shoes to wear?

-CLM

Dear CLM,

Emerald green taffeta? Sounds really cute! Spring is your time to shine, and who better to teach how to blossom than Mother Nature herself. She has fun with color, and so should you.

When accessorizing, first ask yourself, “What family is this color in?” Your emerald green dress is a member of the jewel tones. Therefore, explore your options amongst its relatives. My favorite would be a bright purple or hot pink. Try these purple suede heels by Steven.

But don’t stop at the shoes. For a little more pizazz, select another color for your bag. Remember to keep it in the family. Look at this yellow patent leather clutch.

Good luck, and make sure you take pictures and send them to me so I can post them on the site!

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). Spry was upstaged, once again, while hanging with Danity Kane at their Dollhouse Jeans launch (Summer, 2008).  Notable blogger, Elaine Perlov made it a point to photograph his masterpiece!  See what she has to say about  Spry’s metal counterpart.

An Open Letter To Oprah….

Dear Oprah,

I am moved to write this letter to you on Election Day because it was through your show that I was first introduced to Barack Obama.  Never before have I been in awe of a man that I had no personal connection to.  From the moment I heard him speak, I knew that he was called for something great!  Throughout the months of following his campaign (something that I’ve never done before), I kept feeling the need to stay connected.  Although I have always voted since I was of age, I’ve never felt more empowered or proud than today, when I reached over and pulled that lever back.  Just to think, with less energy than it takes to get out of bed, I made a difference.

I voted for Senator Obama because to me, he represents something that I’ve always believed in; the importance of positive role models in my community.  Everyday I make an effort to show the young men of my community positive examples of strong black men.  It was something that I was exposed to growing up, ad I know how much of an impact it had on me.  My only remorse is that as involved as I am, I can do but so much, and there are still others who aren’t exposed to such leaders.  For many of them, true success, without the ability to perform or play sports, was not a reality.  Thanks to Barack Obama, these young people have an opportunity to dream with their eyes wide open!

If you ask anyone who knows me, they can probably tell you how active I am in my community; how I’ve always been positive and optimistic; how much I try to encourage others to make the right decisions/choices.  Barack Obama inspires me to want to do more.

In a few years, I (a single man) will take on the challenge of guiding three of my seven godchildren through their teenage years.  I chose to do so because I want them to learn, first hand from a man, what it takes to be a man.  Barack Obama, no matter what the outcome of today’s election, has just made my job a little easier.

Thank you again Oprah, for the introduction.  Thank you on behalf of my godchildren.  Thank you on behalf of my family and friends.  Thank you on behalf of the young people of every organization that I volunteer with.  Thank you on behalf of every child whose future just got brighter.

Sincerely yours,

Spry Lee Scott
