HI Heels!



Tracee Ellis Ross' pretty legs in red heels and a smile! 
Some sights are too hard to believe, even looking at it isn't the same as believing what you see!



When the unbelievable is before you the struggle is one with what is seen, what is believed, and what is incomprehensible to the senses, or one's understanding of what they thought they knew. Staying on the outskirts of a vision stops merging with the Unknown. It is an initial impulse to stay fixed with the body. Our tendency is to remain physical, but it is not natural. What is natural is to go home, and to stay where one is comfortable. This is the struggle of existence. Imagine what a moment will look like on the other side of the grave is an act of power! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Jan. 18, 2019)

Crossed Over, and Out of Currency.



Church dress. Fine and unbelievably beautiful Black women cannot help but be appealing in or out of church. Anything they wear in modesty stimulates the senses, so men need to discipline themselves. - Dawn Wolf 10.24.16






Cross worn by Elizabeth Ashley. photographer and stylist, Roland Dawson. (2018)




[Many times with the] Cross worn by a Christian you assume as much as you can assume you'll get some punany on the side after service, or before depending on your skill level! It is always important a conversation to have in efforts to understand the role of the cross, both as symbol and relationship to the role and significance of women. It is not to create confusion injecting sex into the subject of the Cross. Holy to some, the Cross would be offended by the association, but others thinking from another range of views about the victimization of the Cross, as executioner, and the slayer of the feminine energy, in God's name feel great fears! Sex reliefs some of the terror...  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories May 7, 2018

Things my Parent's embodied and taught!


A Lady by definition, A Man by Development. 


In the folds of what it means to be a lady is the acceptance of being free as a way of being. A lady is a development from girl to woman, and woman to lady. It is an art; and it is an intangible substance one cannot touch, but be touched by nuance and substance. A lady can play with this substance fully understanding the role has responsibilities and is awe inspiring because it is a state of being crudeness has no access to...

I should stop here. My mother taught these things in her movements and the way she danced with the essential elements I just described! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/7/18 



Janice Payne at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, August 2018!!





Impossibly good looking dark skinned women are often intellectually and spiritually engaged in processes of development. It is daunting for men not so inclined merely wanting to get laid! When I was young my father's influences worked to my advantage. I wasn't a player. I built relationships, indifferent to getting laid. My father taught me when I was a teenager the integrity it takes to be a man and this was an early teaching he gave his first born. It is an untaught skill set boys do not get for selfish reasons. What those selfish reasons are and how selfishness has become a component of adulthood clustering in the corners of sound humanity is at the center of women's angst in their lifetimes! Selfishness, in a violent social climate, adds to the danger of citizenship in the States sharpening the point of rape.

HAT Fashion, HAUTE Couture


Me encanta ese diseƱo I love that design! 

Hat coolly worn by this woman is different in respect to her African heritage. It feels different, her style of being from her essence; from white women's projections via fashion it is unattainable this essence African women embody! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories







"Hat coolly worn by this woman, made by Shasa and the pretty legs enhanced by Agaci Spikes heels and the short dress by Pull & Bear makes for a sweet taste of sight!" - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

What 'They' Say is True!



Jazsmin Lewis attending premiere of Jackson 5 Dynasty.


Black women have to show up in excellent dress with impeccable manners and sharp intellects poised to engage. Traditionally, it is what Black American mother's taught daughters. This is the high end of expectation. Being poor, or rich has the same requirements of expectation in the Black American system of belief and social conduct. Being ghetto is a recent undevelopment!

Ideals from worlds other. . .

"Is this respectful, or creative?" - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 






Perfectly formed by way of the transatlantic journeys made over the last few centuries is the body of this Latina, of the red and black people who were overcomers. It is a powerful series of stories. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 6.20.16

























Enormous presence, enormous gift within the right woman testifies to the truth of what matters she will work for, or against the grain and texture of a man's intent - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 12.12.16





























It is outstanding the initial affect of this image. It  conveys a sense to the fashion that there is danger to not play with in a woman, who is not white. It feels strong this image. Is she playing with fire? Does she know those weapons and how to use them? Is she a martial artist? If so, it may explain her coolness, or demonstrate how the aloofness a warrioress can affect the psychology of weakness! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/19/18

jeans worn.


jeans worn by the beautiful woman in the window.

"jeans and a choker bodysuit correctly worn by this woman sets it off with her disposition."
- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 


jeans filled by a dark beauty.


"jeans Kim Kardashian wears must be something other than jeans! Good God!!"
- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11/23/17 



jeans worn by a right size woman.

Although jeans were invented for work, for men; jeans have become a part of women's wardrobes. Women turned them into flesh. They adore a woman's body a man needs to have, to hold, to marry, to long for, and be swayed by. It is remarkable the re-invention capacity of jeans. The colors they support, the way they shape cultures, and fit around a woman's body follows the creative flow of what makes sculptures possible.

The most compelling women in jeans are not famous. We see them in our localities. This is important to know because the streets inform the fashion halls of Paris, and they reinterpret them on underfed models. The translation is in language, and women's language, in particular, Black American women, defines the depth of fashion internationally.

I only make this assessment from what I have read and studied over the years of my interest in the women's fashion industry. It is compelling, but it makes many whites bristle with rage their relationship with the granddaughters of ex-slaves, who have been the examples of sexual freedom, and elegant expressions of dress and dignity despite the turmoil created by the white women who have enjoyed watching Black men suffer by their hands during and after slavery, or dangling as strange fruit from trees! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/23/17

Teach as One.


On the internet cycles of malicious gossip circulates a sentence: "Nicolette Sheridan thinks Paris Hilton is a nasty girl with genital herpes."

That is a far place to go gossiping about someone. A woman speaking thus to and about another woman is dangerous because of the vitality of women. In their true possession their powers, the quality of their substance is a cornerstone in existence as a place, and as a process she as a one has to develop into what is important.

I can't dispute the claim about Paris Hilton, nor do I want to research it further than to say what is necessary for a man to rethink is the freedom of promiscuity and the treachery that the process can create within a woman. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [Oct. 10, 2017]

the Eyes have It!



Unspeakably beautiful in a quiet way.



Vic Marie by Roland Dawson in my estimation is a body of working knowledge about herself discovering the components that make unique her place in a world hostile to what is strongest within her. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 



Visually shattering is her elegance, the beauty of this woman, and
the perfect form of her legs is arresting! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Her Fashion and Her Speed.


Flo Jo, Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner
(December 21, 1959-September 21, 1998)
Olympian, the fastest woman!



Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner (December 21, 1959 – September 21, 1998), also known as Flo-Jo, was an American track and field athlete. She is considered the fastest woman of all time based on the fact that the world records she set in 1988 for both the 100 m and 200 m still stand and have yet to be seriously challenged. She is also remembered for her flair. She set fashion to the sport with her nails and her sense of fashion in her outfits.

She died in her sleep as the result of an epileptic seizure in 1998 at the age of 38. Her death ended a love story between her and her husband the world fawned over at the time. Their love for each other focused millions of people on the subject of themselves and how they loved themselves, each other and their mates. Her short life was deeply felt and emulated.

In the rush of today, the attention paid to Mr. and Mrs. Joyner then could not be duplicated because the rush of news and gossip and the rapidity of telephone development scoops the public imagination from one thing to another, like hummingbirds. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11-15-17

The ANK!



Nicole Murphy wearing an ANK!

The principles within the ANK are continuous, unconcerned with anyone's belief systems. Magic works the way the Tao operates indifferent to what matters to believers. It is a warrior's way, if you understand. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/12/17

Jeans an American original.


Jeans and fur make a combination that makes the shoes make sense.





jeans worn by Asian women is a put on. It isn't from their authentic self. Their cultures power lineage does not speak from the relatively new and shallow culture from the West, who in conquering them took from their core substances... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/9/17 





















jeans. the way they supposed to be worn!








jeans worn to match a mood, but without the soul of Being, as a Black American would without thinking about it intellectuality, because being sexy and driven by deep inclinations, they know not where from, is a force from birth into... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/9/17
