“Grandpa’ out of style? But not their fashion | Local News

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /






We’ve been grandma and grandpa for 19 years. Now we’re finding out the terms “grandma” and “grandpa” may be a thing of the past.

At least that’s what some baby boomers want.

A TikTok video featured a woman who said her mother-in-law doesn’t want to be called “grandma” any more. I’m not sure, but apparently the term makes her feel old — or something.

The grandma thought maybe “Queen mother” would be more fitting. I guess that would make the grandpa “King father.”

Other suggestions rolled in, including “G-ma.”

The video quickly racked up a couple million views and plenty of people chimed in with similar stories and suggestions.

We’ve always loved being “grandma” and “grandpa” to our grandkids.

When they were little it was an endearing thing to hear. Even now when most of them are in their teens, hearing “grandpa” sounds just fine to me. It’s who I am and it’s meaningful to me. Calling me “Poppy” or “PawPaw” to help me be in denial about growing older just doesn’t make sense.

Still, I wouldn’t mind watching my granddaughters and grandsons squirm as they grow older and I insist they call me “Grand-dude” or maybe “Your Honor.”

BEIJING — With the continuous interest in traditional culture, the “new Chinese style” of clothing, which cleverly blends traditional and modern elements, is in the spotlight during this year”s Spring Festival, and is increasingly gaining popularity, particularly among young Chinese.

During this holiday, visitors dressed in new Chinese-style clothing have frequently been spotted at popular tourist attractions, restaurants, department stores, and temple fairs. They donned outfits such as quilted vests featuring dragon and phoenix motifs, Song brocade jackets with traditional Chinese frog buttons, and Chinese traditional horse-face skirts.

What was formerly popular only among the older generation has now transformed into a fashion trend among the younger generation, thanks to the artful and bold combination of traditional Chinese elements and modern design. Many social media users refer to this trend as “bloodline awakening.”

Following the tradition of wearing new clothes for the new year, an Anhui Province resident surnamed Zhang bought her daughter a bright red set of Chinese New Year’s clothing ahead of the Spring Festival.

“This year, I intentionally bought my child the

Super Fly: Inside NBA basketball’s enduring influence on fashion – from the ever-slick Kobe Bryant and bling-loving LeBron James, to Michael Jordan’s iconic

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /

When Mitchell S. Jackson was offered the opportunity to put together a book about the intersection of fashion and basketball – subjects he has long harboured a fascination for – he thought the assignment would be “a no-brainer”.

“I thought it was going to be a short project,” says the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and acclaimed author. “It was meant to be 15,000 words. How long could that take? A few months?”

Instead, Fly: The Big Book of Basketball Fashion, ended up taking a few years to complete, involving a substantial amount of research into subjects that went far past how NBA stars look on and off the court.

“As a basketball fan, I had some idea who the stars of the NBA were, going back to its inception,” says Jackson, who serves as the John O. Whiteman Dean’s Distinguished Professor in the English department of Arizona State University. “But there is a difference between an NBA star and the NBA star that is also fashionable. And this book is a great representation of where
