Canadian model Chantelle Winnie living dream as Desigual brand ambassador for 2015

Desigual.scarves.2.SS2015Canadian model Chantelle Winnie  (her real name: Chantelle Young-Brown) is living her dream as Desigual’s brand ambassador for the Spring-Summer 2015 collection. The Barcelona-based brand first used her for a photo shoot to highlight its black-and-white collection last year, designed by Christian Lacroix:She was such a hit, Desigual decided to make her the face for its new collection this season:In a new Desigual video this week, Chantelle explains how she was ridiculed and bullied as a child because of her rare skin condition, called vitiligo:She once said: “A lot of people have a story or a background, but mine is painted on my body.” She first made a video about her skin condition in 2011 called Vitiligo: A Skin Condition, Not a Life Changer:She now describes herself as a “vitiligo spokesmodel.” Pretty unique.

carrall&powell.1886 Angel Vancouver is located at No. 2 Powell Street in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. Our store is on the corner of Powell & Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, where Vancouver began.  The photo above shows what my store looked like in 1886.

Today’s music video is Ode to Billie Joe, a number 1 hit in 1967 by Bobbie Gentry, one of the first female country artists to write & produce her own songs:The song remains as enigmatic today as the day it was written. In an interview, Gentry explained the song’s mystery: “Everybody has a different guess about what was thrown off the bridge—flowers, a ring, even a baby. Anyone who hears the song can think what they want, but the real message of the song, if there must be a message, revolves around the nonchalant way the family talks about the suicide. They sit there eating their peas and apple pie and talking, without even realizing that Billie Joe’s girlfriend is sitting at the table, a member of the family.”

To read more about the song, click here.

There has been speculation that Gentry, a former Las Vegas dancer, withdrew from public life and has disappeared. But she’s apparently living a quiet life in Los Angeles.

Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench is a Desigual fan

Josh Ramsay, lead singer of Vancouver band Marianas Trench, at the Grammy Awards with writer/actress Amanda McEwan.

Josh Ramsay, the lead singer of Vancouver band Marianas Trench, dropped into Angel last weekend. He bought a Desigual jacket and a few T-shirts.

Josh lives in the neighbourhood — Gastown — and often walks his dog in front of my store. Josh’s family has a long-time involvement in the music business in Vancouver: his father, Miles Ramsay, used to write jingles and was a co-owner of Little Mountain Sound recording studio; his mother, a vocal coach, used to be a back-up singer for Leonard Cohen. Josh, 29, and his bandmates are recording a new album, earlier releasing this new song: Pop 101, a satire of the pop music biz. The band’s latest video is Here’s to the Zeros, which uses twisted humour to poke fun at the old children’s TV shows Mr. Rogers’ Neighbourhood and Sesame Street. Personally, I think the song needs more cowbell:

Today’s video is Rude, a song by Canadian reggae fusion band Magic! The band dropped into Angel on Friday and the lead singer bought a Desigual dress for his girlfriend. I didn’t recognize them but the singer, Nasri Atweh, said I probably heard them on the radio — he sang the chorus of Rude to jog my memory. Magic! is the opening act on Sunday March 29/15 for Maroon 5 at Rogers Arena:And here’s Sugar, a new song by Maroon 5. The video was shot by David Dobkin, who directed the 2005 film Wedding Crashers. Dobkin suggested to Maroon 5 lead singer/songwriter Adam Levine to shoot the band playing at a number of weddings on a single day across Los Angeles — only the grooms knew who the wedding crasher band would be:And in memory of Samuel Charters, who died last week, here’s the song that inspired him to write The Country Blues, a seminal book written in the 1950s that chronicled the rural blues of America, which later inspired the early career of Bob Dylan and led to such bands as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Them and the Allman Brothers resurrecting country blues standards, revitalizing the careers of such blues musicians as Texas guitarist Lightnin’ Hopkins and countless others:Here’s British guitarist Eric Clapton‘s unplugged version of the same tune from 1992:And finally, here’s a classic one-chord country blues song, Smokestack Lightnin’, which had been performed since the 1930s by Chester Burnett, better known as Howlin’ Wolf. This is a rare 1964 performance from the American Folk Blues Festival tour of Europe produced by German promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau: AFBF-1964-poster1964.American.Folk.Blues.Festival
