Sunday Brunch: Art & Beauty

June 7, 2020
Dear friends,

This is a very painful time in our world and the lid has blown off the pressure cooker for very clear and important reasons. We have two pandemics, one a health crisis and one a social crisis. It's a perfect storm of sadness, fear, and anger. One pandemic is new but the other has gone on for far too long.

With all that is happening we went on MUTE this week on social media to make space for other voices to be heard, and have spent this time listening and learning. I wasn't even sure if I would do a Sunday Brunch this week but I believe Icon Style's role is to bring beauty to you all in whatever ways we can, and to keep a memory of the past alive while still living in the now and looking towards the future, so we will continue to do that here. One thing I am sure of is art and beauty are healthy, so we will do what we can to spread them.

This Week's Stay at Home Activities:
  • If you are a New York City resident, contact your City Council member to express your views. There is a public hearing coming up this month on criminalizing the use of chokeholds by police officers and creating standardized police discipline guidelines. 
  • Make sure you have your mail in ballot for June primaries. Learn about who is running in local elections, be sure to vote, real legislative change starts at the grassroots level.
 
This week we will begin cleaning and preparing our UWS boutique for visitors once again. We are looking forward to seeing your beautiful masked faces in person very soon!
 
Stay safe, Stay well & Love one another.

We love You!
