The folks at JRG did it again. On August 15, the Bikini Under the Bridge fashion show was held in Brooklyn at the Tobacco Warehouse. The two show extravaganza featured returning swimwear lines as well as new ones: Ashakai, Trefle Designs, Yard Rock, Chila for Fun, Shar Styles, Brazilian Bezel, TBA Clothing, Royal Flush, Sammy B, Steven Daniels, Bernard Moore and Derek Moore.
Returning TBA (To Be Afrikan) Clothing swimwear designs known for being more edgy, were a tad bit toned down this year. William Fleet, the designer, tried to take into account some of the feedback he had received and trends on the horizon. On the rookie side, Bikini Under Bridge designer Shar of Shar Style is actually fresh to the designing game. Shar from Guyana, living in Florida, has worked as a model for some time, so the designing bug has been in her for a while. However, it was only a short six months ago when Shar threw her cards on the table and delved into world of fashion design. She wanted Shar Styles to exude the sexiness of South Beach Miami.
JRG who in the past had models from America’s Next Top Model, switched gears this time around with male model Sandhurst from the reality show Make Me A Super Model.

KRS-One and Buckshot
Saturday August 29, was the last day of the 3-day J&R MusicFest 2009. J&R Music World, the driving force behind the MusicFest, once again put together a diverse group of artists to perform for the public at City Hall Park for free. KRS-One and Buckshot, LeToya Luckett, Nikki Yanofsky, Roberta Gambarini and Roy Hargrove all performed for the last day of the MusicFest
LeToya
Though the rain was still coming down, the decision was made to have the show outside. Shortly after the scheduled start time, the rain stopped and DJ Evil Dee of the Beatminerz jumped on stage to get the beats ready for the KRS-One and Buckshot performance. With a joint CD – Survival Skills- slated to be released September 15, these two Hip Hop artists freestyled as well as performed songs from their separate catalogs and joint project.
LeToya performed songs from her new CD Lady Love, at times speaking directly to the women in the audience about relationship issues which were the inspiration for some of the songs on the CD.
Carol, Nikki Yanofsky and Wyclef
After the first two performances, J&R Music World was packed with people on lines waiting to get autographs from KRS-One, Buckshot and LeToya. For those who were on line and missed Nikki Yanofsky perform-really missed a treat!
The 15 year old Jazz singing phenom from Canada put on a great show. Nikki’s big voice, singing ability and stage presence left people in awe. Checking out Nikki do her thing was superstar Recording Artist Wyclef Jean. Showing his support for this young talent, Wyclef didn’t leave the park until after spending some time backstage taking pictures and doing interviews talking up this rising star.
Roberta Gambarini
Roberta Gambarini, who has performed with great Jazz artists such as Herbie Hancock, Christian McBride, and Toots Thielemans, kept the Jazz vibe going. Closing out the J&R MusicFest 2009, Jazz Trumpeter, Composer and Bandleader Roy Hargrove led a huge band. On a tight stage, maneuvering around other musicians to complete solos appeared to be a bit of a challenge, but they made it happen and the music was fantastic!
