Desigual is characterized by its different, optimistic and colorful designs. The company began operating in 1984. La Vida es Chula (Life is Cool) is Desigual’s slogan and way of looking at fashion and life. It’s an enthusiastic, positive and optimistic message that nails its colors to the mast.

Angel is located at No. 2 Powell Street in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. We’re on the corner of Powell & Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, where Vancouver began. The historic photo (left) shows what the location of my store looked like in 1886 (click on photo to enlarge).

Today’s music is Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, recorded in 1969. It was recorded on a two-track machine and was originally intended as a fundraiser for a gospel competition, until a local deejay started playing it and it was released as a single, becoming a surprise hit of the psychedelic Sixties. Hawkins, 74, died last week.

South African jazz musician Hugh Masekala, 78, also died this week. He performed in 1967 at the Monterey Pop Music Festival along with Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, The Who, Janis Joplin, Ravi Shankar, and others. The next year, Masekela’s instrumental Grazing in the Grass was released and hit No. 1 in North America and internationally.

We also recently lost Dolores O’Riordan, 46, the lead singer for Irish band The Cranberries. She died at a London hotel last week but lived part of each year in Canada.

She was pleased that Eminem had sampled her vocals for his new song, In Your Head:

The day O’Riordan died, she was supposed to record a new version of Zombie with heavy-metal supergroup Bad Wolves. The band considered shelving the song after she died, but have now decided to release it and donate the sales proceeds to O’Riordan’s three children:
