"Appropriate Attire Policy" at Morehouse is a MESS
No do-rags, baggy jeans, flip-flops, big ass T-shirts that look like nightshirts. Great!
But this ban was not just about the "prison look", this ban was created to address the gay men at the college.
Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services said this:
"We are talking about five students who are living a gay lifestyle that is leading them to dress a way we do not expect in Morehouse men."
Dr. Bynum said he talked the gay organization about the issue. The sad part about this is when they voted on the code, only 3 out of 27 gay men voted against it.
Interesting, so gay men have to look like Morehouse men, or whatever that means. So much for freedom of expression in college.
However, I'm curious about what was the tipping point that singled out the gay look? And how do they know about a gay look? Do they know us? Most gay men are unique and original.
Look at Derek J, stylist from The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
He is truly doing it, but by Morehouse new standards, he is violating the dress code.
And what gets me, they believe that changing the dress code, they will breed success.
Really? Child cheese.
To my gay fam, get out of Morehouse, and go to an university that will let you be you. This is a bag of refried mess.

First Lady's Hairstylist hits it Big

Johnny Wright, super stylist who has given Lady Michelle her fierce hairdos, has signed a deal with 44 Blue, a company that produces reality shows as Style Network's "Split Ends" and A&E's "L.A. Gang Unit."
Johnny is here in Los Angeles at Frederic Fekkai, and already have a star soaked clientele of Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Rebecca Gayheart, Lauren London, Selita Ebanks and Candace Bushnell.
According to THR, 44 Blue executive vp Stephanie Drachkovitch knew he was star material.
"We fell in love with him before we knew. There's a lot of hairstylists out there who do celebrities, but they can't center a show."
She's pitching for a show on the cable networks as a docudrama of makeover series. She should go over to CW and save their dumbass network, but I think she can do better. Good luck to Johnny and I hope everything works out.
