HEAVENLY AFFAIR...“Heaven must
have sent you from above”..., lyrics taken
from a tune made popular by Marvin Gaye
and Tammie Terrell in the late 60s fit like a
glove for Ebony’s 24th extravaganza. The
marriage between EBONY MAGAZINE
and 12 well-trained models must have been
programmed from above because the
bodies that paraded the Civic Center’s
runway were nothing short of heavenly.
The ladies of the Delta Zeta Chapter of the
Ze.ta Phi Beta Sorority were responsible for
bringing Ebony’s Fashion Fair to Charlotte
last Sunday evening, something they have
done since the show has been conning to
Charlotte.
On its initial voyage
into the glamorous
world of fashions,
Ebony Fashion Fair
was just a minute
entity on the water
course of time, but its
endurance must be ’
attributed to the mag
nificent, supportive
efforts of people like
the members of Zeta
Phi Beta, dedicated
to helping others.
BOBJOHNSON
ine unique show travels througout the
United States on a chartered Greyhound bus
complete with scenery, over 200 garments
and accessories, ten gorgeous female and
two terrific male models, stage and busi
ness managers, music director, four war
drobe assistants and a proficient
commentator.
- "The Look of Elegance” was the theme
chosen by the Ebony executives to exhibit
the lavish fashions for fall and winter
1981-82. Fashions that shine with opulent
styles with more richness in fabrics, mix
ture of textures and design, which make up
a look that’s dramatic by day and dazzling
by night.
This season a woman has more of a choice
in clothing - whether she prefers shorter
lengths to longer ones or slender cuts to
fuller ones. Designers have run the gamut
to try to please women’s special tastes. A
return to glamour, beauty and style is
apparent in the 80s. However, a woman
must have the inside dope on a mint to
afford to wear these designer originals.
Nonetheless, the charitable purpose of the
Fashion Fair overshadows the buying
expectancy of most of the audience. Plus, it
gives fashion conscious men and women an
_opportunity to eniov the best in fashions and
fashion modeling.---—
The fashions in last Sunday evening’s
dream affair were not limited to the stage.
The men and, in one of what was Zeta’s
largest audiences to date, were very well
dressed themselves. Among the well
dressed guests were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Wallace, Fran Debounnaire, Esther
Marioneux'from Salisbury, Jessye Deans,
Mr. and Mrs. William Jordan, C. Yvonne
Morton, Karen Dixon, Mrs. Amox Pride,
Alton Byrd, Joan Allen, Henri Rhump,
Carrie Kirkpatrick, Frances Leach, Jackie
Stanley, Gwen Cunningham, Katheline
Crosby, Aleene Byrd, Irene Hunt, Dorothy
Stinson, Rachel Byers, Bonita Byers and
Shirley Lewis from New York City.
« BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION...The hap
piest lot for a person, as far as birth is
concerned, is that it should be such as to
give them little occasion to think much
about it. Edna B. Williams may not think
often of her birth, but she will long bathe in
the memories of last Saturday night’s ,
Dirtnaay gathering.
Her 35th birthday celebration took place
in the cozy atmosphere of the Dukes
Clubhouse, with 60 invited guests. A buffet
supper, served by candlelight, the guests
singing happy birthday In strong, hearty
voices, and the fantastic disco program
ming, provided by Gerald Butler and
Walter “Sonny” Woods, actively connected
the thoughts and well wishes of her guests.
The fun didn’t end there. Edna threw an
early Sunday morning breakfast for her
friends at her home on Taylor Avenue.
Some of the guests included in this spiritous
affair were Peggy Cherry, Robert and
Celeste Proctor, Van and Ev6n Jackson,
Robert and Ethel Jordan, George and
Sylvia McManus, Steve and Barbara
Cherry, Johnnie Mae White, Sarah Cald
well, David and Lizzie Butler, James and
Amelia Morrow, Joe and Mary Roberts,
James Miller, Lavenia Ivey and Betty
Jones.
JUST THINKING...The Cannonball Ex
press has been playing at the Beacon Club
for some time now. During that time a
number of jazz fans have heard the superb
playing of true professionals. Those of us
who are jazz lovers need to converge on the
Beacon more often, in big numbers, to
really show Jack, Luther and the members
of Cannonball Express how much we
appreciate the fine job they are doing.
