Today's Events: 7/1/11 July 1, when the Battle of Gettysburg began (1863), when SOS was adapted as the international distress signal (1908), when The Communist Party in China was founded (1921), when ZIP codes were introduced for U.S. mail (1963), when Sony introduced the Walkman, when the MPAA introduced the PG-13 rating (1984), when Sydney Pollack (1934) and Missy Elliott (1971) were born, and when Harriet Beecher Stowe (1896) and Argentina’s 29th and 41st president Juan Perón (1974) died. So let’s hear it for The Way We Were, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and obsolete technology: Carol's Daughter in the Quarter Almost twenty years ago, Brooklyn’s Lisa Price decided the array of hair and body care products on the market just wouldn’t do. So what did she do? She made some herself. Working out of her kitchen, Price started Carol’s Daughter, a beauty product line made up of purely natural ingredients. The company catalog is now sold nation-wide in stores ranging from Dillard’s to Sephora to the Home Shopping Network; this weekend, for the eighth year in a row, the Carol’s Daughter Weekend Boutique returns to the French Quarter. Today's Events: 4/28/11 April 28th, when Muhammad Ali refused to be inducted into the army and was thereupon stripped of his boxing title (1967), when Charles de Gaulle resigned as the president of France (1969) and the birthdays of three beautiful people: Jessica Alba (1981), Penelope Cruz (1974), and Shreveport, Louisiana’s Hal Sutton (1958), Golf Magazine’s 1980 College Player of the Year, and a top-10 ranker in the Official Golf Rankings (1986-1987). That would be enough for us to be proud of, if it weren’t for today's Hornets holdin’ down the Hive, and a Pre-Jazz fest celebration to bring the BayouWear out in full fierce force:
