For Steve Rhodes and Yves Saint Laurent


Steve Bankole Omodele Rhodes

While I was still thinking of how to pay tribute to the late Pa Steve Rhodes (April 8, 1926 –May 29, 2008), the Nigerian icon of choral music and founder of the famous Steve Rhodes Voices,
the news that Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent (August 1, 1936 – June 1, 2008) has passed away in Paris Sunday night shook the fashion world. Yves Saint Laurent was the fashion icon of the golden age of haute couture from the 1960s to the 1980s and whatever has followed have been mere parodies of the golden era in fashion history.
May their great souls rest in peace.

The following information is from the Steve Rhodes Voices.

Want to Be Santa?





Nov. 21 - Want to be santa? You'll have to pass a test first to ensure there are no dissapointments on Christmas day.

Every year, a Berlin-based Santa agency holds castings to make sure the city's children receive the perfect visit from Santa. The jury is usually made up of three people and the Santas who pass the test, receive their very own diploma.

Michelle Carlile-Alkhouri reports.
