"Black Lipstick" an art exhibition by Adelaide Damoah
Friday, August 22, 2008 23:28
Adelaide Damoah will be unveiling her latest collection 'Black Lipstick' @ The 24/7 Art House, Clapham Park Road SW4 on the 28th of August. The unveiling will be from 1800-2100 and the exhibition will run until the 28th of September; check out the Damoah Arts site for more info.
The collection features a series of paintings of Damoah in various poses exploring the "dominant sexual side of herself" and looks to be another acclaimed collection like previous ones from the artist. If you thought that the 'Black Brits' collection pushed boundaries then you'll enjoy this collection for doing the same on a whole new level.
To add a finishing touch to the evening you can head down to The Whitehouse in Clapham for the Black Lipstick after party.

Over the next few months, Adidas will be releasing their 4 Elements of Hip Hop Collection, which will feature sets of shoes inspired by DJ’s, Graffiti Artists, B-Boys, and MC’s, all elements of Hip Hop.
This particular pack ^^ was inspired by the B-Boy element, and includes the Decade Hi, Superstar 2, and the Superstar 86. They pay tribute to break dancers, who played important in the early stages of Hip Hop. The Decade Hi model features an interesting design, designed to look like dirty cardboard which resembles the surface that b-boys used to dance on.
