Parental Advisory: Explicit Images By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
An opening party for “Parental Advisory: Explicit Images,” presented by Morrison Hotel Gallery, was held at the Dream Downtown’s rooftop lounge on February 1 in New York City. Featuring imagery of iconic hip-hop legends, the exhibition and sale pays
tribute to the artists and photographers. The show is curated by photographer and gallery co-owner Timothy White, and features photographs by White, Danny Clinch, Janette Beckman, Clay Patrick McBride, Lynn Goldsmith, and others. The iconic images will be exhibited at Morrison Hotel Gallery’s
Independent/Ken Bachor
loft in SoHo through the month of February and are also available for purchase at www.morrisonhotelgallery. com. “Parental Advisor y: Explicit Images” is, “All about the music and photographs from a timeless culture,” said White who co-hosted the event with Whoopi Goldberg and Darryl DMC McDaniels from Run-DMC. “It’s about the photographers who shot the images then and now. The artists who represent that culture then and now. It’s the emergence of generations within that culture -- the passing of the baton from one generation to another.” Whoopi Goldberg’s grandson, Los Angeles rapper 17-year-old Mason Dean, kicked off the night with a set of
original songs. Hudson Valley hip-hop artist Decora followed with a prolific set and Darryl DMC McDaniels closed out the night with an emotionally fierce performance. All of the performers were surrounded by the photographs in the exhibit. Attendees included actress Kristen Stewart who was in town to host “SNL,” Platinum Boy Music CEO and producer Amadeus, Lamarr Houston of the Chicago Bears, “Orange Is The New Black” actor Sean Ringgold, recording artist Tony Sunshine, and Stevie J from VH1’s “Love & Hip-Hop.” For more information on Morrison Hotel Galler y and to purchase images from the “Parental Advisory: Explicit Images” exhibit, visit www. morrisonhotelgallery.com.

Replacing Something Old With Something New By Nicole Teitler
Weddings can call to mind such timeless moments and elegant couples as Queen Victoria’s marriage to Prince Albert in 1840, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III in 1956, or Lady Diana’s nuptials to Prince Charles in 1981. Though we can’t all be royalty, for one special day every bride is a princess and every groom is her Prince Charming. Over the centuries some traditions have lasted while others have faded away. Warding off evil spirits is a thing of the past but, as Jane Fonda comically depicts in the 2005 film Monster-in-Law, dealing with the in-laws is forever. Before saying the ‘I Do’s’ are some Dos and Don’ts of 2017. According to Vogue, there’s a fine line between trendy and tasteless at receptions. Trade out a rustic vibe in place of mountain-elegance, it’ll have a longer lasting effect in pictures. In line, kick off the cowboy boots or sneakers and keep fancy footwear. Bridesmaids and groomsmen date back to Ancient Rome as decoys for jealous suitors. Today, have your friends at your wedding but only your closest friends in the bridal party, there’s no need for several best friends. Despite what your tipsy maid of honor may tell you, as ‘cutetini’ as your drink name may be, keep cocktails to something recognizable, like a Moscow Mule, Pimm’s Cup, or Sidecar. Remember that time dancing to your favorite song only to be interrupted for your steak, salmon, or chicken dinner? It’s time to change the beat. Switch out formal dining fare for familiar fare, a meal that will keep the energy alive and lighthearted like the music. And while food trucks are still acceptable they are a ticking time
bomb towards becoming outdated, put those gears in reverse. When it comes to the cake, like the rest of the wedding, it shouldn’t be naked. Dress it up with simple accents and tiers. Lastly, the tradition of the bride’s family paying for a wedding dates back to dowries. In an age where marriage is equal, so should the bill paying. Themes and unique locations are the fun of weddings of today. Off the beaten path destinations are on the rise. Adios, Cabo and hallo, Iceland. Faith Cowell, the Banquet Sales Manager of East Wind Long Island in Wading River, continues to notice a green theme. “We are seeing a lot of couples decorating using lanterns and votive candles and a hot trend in wedding favors is to give out succulent plants.” Having trees in a venue location is also common. The days of all white weddings could be well behind us as color is making a comeback. According to BridalGuide.com, the color of the future is ‘blush rose’ pink, along with touches of copper, rose gold, and pewter metallic. Brightly lit accents across a relatively neutral toned theme are representative of the bride and groom. Floral designs of peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, dahlias, and soft petal flowers across the tables or hanging above guests heads are becoming popular. The emphasis in modern floral design is the appearance of effortless imperfection. “Couples are often accessorizing their tables using mason jars filled with flowers to complete the rustic look. Vintage themes with lace, blush pinks, and light grey colors are also hot. Using a lot of candles both high and low with crystals hanging from them as centerpieces adds to this elegant look,” Cowell

Tuxedo Rentals for all Occasions 120 North Main Street East Hampton, NY 324-1640
said. Brides.com expects wedding décor to take on new heights with tall tapers in glass trumpets and low lighting. “Couples are getting very creative and customizing their wedding for a look that matches their style,” Cowell informed. Pinecone fire starters are a new wedding favor designed to share the flame of love. The days of walking into a room with simple rhythmic clapping are in the past. Elaborate entrances with attention-grabbing stunts, such as choreographed dancing, are starting the party immediately. “At East Wind we encourage our couples to be creative as they like. Whether it is The Estate, The Grand Ballroom, The Veranda or
The Cottage, each room is a blank canvas for them to create into anything they’re dreaming of for their big day,” Cowell explained. In moving towards the future, 2017 will be a tech savvy year. Virtual planning, online registries, drones, live-streaming, 3D printing, transitional dresses, Instagram phrases, and Snapchat geofilters are all part of millennial weddings.

While this is happening, you can cook the ground sausage in a sauté pan over medium high heat for about eight minutes or until the sausage begins to brown. Strain the fat and set aside for later. While the shallots roast, chop the herbs and cut your tomatoes in half so that you're ready to assemble the pasta when the time is right.
