I know Coolie High was HS, but they had the look down. Here is Chris Brown in a modern rendition.

Rachel Zoe

I think she's having a boy. It will still be fun to see how she dresses him.

Virgin Galactic is moving forward with its plans to offer suborbital flights to about 68 miles above the Earth. The flights, which will have space for six passengers, will provide 1,000-mile views and four to five minutes of zero gravity. At this point, the company won’t commit to a launch date for commercial service, but executives suggest the first experimental flights could take place within the next year. Safety and regulatory issues, they say, will determine the first commercial launch, with Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group founder, and members of his family filling the first seats.

February's IT Girl Talitha Getty

Talitha Getty was the beautiful and stylish wife of oil heir and philanthropist John Paul Getty, Jr. Talitha Getty was a major style icon of the 1960s, perfecting a jet-setter bohemian aesthetic to her look. The two posed for an iconic photograph of the two of them on a roof-top in Marrakesh, Morocco in January 1969. The photo shows Talitha Getty crouched down leaning on a wall and her sunglassed, hooded husband in the background. The Getty's owned a lavish Moorish paradise in Marrakesh visted often by the Rolling Stones and Yves Saint Laurent. Getty popularized the caftan, she primarly wore YSL, Ossie Clark and Valentino along with ethnic caftans, Balinese wraps, Palestinian wedding dresses, and Moroccan djellabas. Talitha Getty died of a herion overdose in Rome, Italy on July 14, 1971. She died within the same twelve month period Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Edie Sedgwick and Jim Morrison, other cultural icons of the 1960s.

Roger Guenveur Smith-Homage

This man is major. I have always admired him as an actor, writer and director. Smith appeared in 6 Spilke Lee movies, has written and performed in critically aclaimed stage shows and was a close friend of the late Jean Michel-Basquiat. Just awesome!
