Mira’s Closet: 9/2/13 : Cultural

MClosetMira’s no fashionista, but she definitely has her own sense of style…
And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: Fashion is much more cultural then I realized. People all over the world are being influenced by others through the World Wide Web, but some traditions just never seem to fade away and I like it (most of the time). Not all stereotypes are bad, some are simply representative of a culture. Not all women in the “south” of the plains region of the U.S. have big hair, but a lot of them do. Not all black women (African American, if you care to be P.C.) wear big hoop earrings, but a lot do. I personally adore my hoop earrings (of a modest size). Everyday fashion becomes more and more an artistic expression of one ‘s personality, culture, and out look on life. I love it.

Now here are some style tips from

Tori

my own personal fashion guru, trainer, and my physical inspiration for Mira.

Character Files from the ToiBox 20: Leo- Bio

ECGA-L

nomaleBiography:  Subject EC:GA 5-Leo

Leo’s story is a little lax in details because he’s such as supportive character.  He is the oldest son of a small town family who are distant cousins to an Italian family from New Jersey. Leo’s distant relatives knew and worked with Abraham when he was building up his wealth and before the death of his wife.

Leo’s main job, now, is to look after the finances and security of Abraham. He’s married and has a son named Theodore. His small family and white-collar life is stark contrast to the way he grew up.
