Designers Liza Goncalves and Michelle D’Avella show off the best of their vintage-inspired clothing line.

As the Phillies go for their second World Series title beginning tonight against Tampa Bay, let’s take a look back when this ball club gave Edith Houghton, a chance to become the first woman hired as a first major-league baseball scout.

In 1866, Vassar College created the first women’s baseball team . In 1875, the first public game was held between two women’s teams. This first game was a form of entertainment organized by men. “The Blonds” played “The Brunettes.”

Still, baseball for women caught on. Early players took to the field in high-button shoes, high necklines, long skirts and long sleeves. Later, Amelia Bloomer would create loose trousers that carried her name.

The “Bloomer Girls” were born.The Bloomer Girls era lasted from the 1890s until 1934. Hundreds of teams; All Star Ranger Girls, Philadelphia Bobbies, New York Bloomer Girls, Baltimore Black Sox Colored Girls, offered employment, travel, and adventure for young women who could hit, field, slide, or catch.

Edith Houghton was only ten years old when she joined the Philadelphia Bobbies, a factory team made up of women, all of whom bobbed their hair. After the war, Edith wrote to Bob Carpenter, owner of the Philadelphia Phillies, asking for a job as a scout.Carpenter decided to give her a chance and the rest is HISTORY!!!!!

I got the opportunity to attend the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Award Show in NYC. In Rachel Zoe’s words I “Shut It Down” in the original floor length polo Vintage Blue dress I rocked to the award show. The dress attracted so much attention, even Six Feet Under star Freddy Rodríguez commented ” This has to be one of the most comfortable sexiest dresses I have ever seen!” To find out when this dress will be available please register to our mailing list on our website to get all the lastest news about our product. The show was bananas, it honored some of the greatest MC’s in the game including Slick Rick.

Now in our world the night can never end on a normal note, we decided to have a late night snack at one of my favorite restaurants in New York, Cafeteria. They have the best mac n cheese and berry mojitos I have ever had. I’m not sure if you have noticed by now, but I love good food and a great cocktail..lol As we were enjoying our food “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”

After our successful launch party we headed south to our nations capital to see Mos Def perform at the Kennedy Center. The show was amazing and his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner Remixed with the Go-Go Classic “Sardines, Hey and Pork and Beans” left audience members speechless.

We ended the night in tears as Dave Chappelle, Mos Def and Set Free kept everyone laughing the night away as we devoured the best crab cakes I have ever had in my life at dinner and I know that was not because of the several glasses of wine I consumed that night…LOL

Thanks for an unforgettable night;(Mos, Dave, Undrcrwn Crew, Ana, Djafa, Tecora and Set Free)
As Dave would Say Prazer B*#tches!!!!
