Profiles98 Magazine - Fall 2011: Issue 8

I denne utgaven

Gracing our cover is the beautiful Sudanese model Grace Bol. Her journey to the top has not been
an easy one, as she shares her triumphant story with us. Grace’s rise to fame and fortune reminds us that its all about the recovery of any situation that makes the difference. Out of the ruins of the
hurricane we will see a new and refreshing start on several levels.

So the similarity of recovery is showcased in one of our several fashion stories. A great new sense of style rising from the aftermath of the storm Tomas that wrecked havoc on the island of St
Lucia. Humbled by the powerful forces of nature, they too have risen into a bright bloom in the form of the renewed focus and allure of fashions from St Lucia’s top designer; Queen Esther. In contrast, the exquisite Cotton Bay Resort also on St Lucia welcomes the tasteful travelers to their slice of paradise.
Music and fashion is like a perfect couple that feeds off each other.

Like in another one of our fashion stories where the old, vintage style is still new, the same can be said about music. On these pages, three different generations are showcased; T-Connection, a funk and disco group from Nassau, Bahamas, from the mid 70s; Jamaican born Orville Richard Burrell, better known as `Shaggy’ is best known for his 1995 hit `Bombastic’ and the leading female in the music business today, Beyonce’ anchors our entertainment section. These talented musical icons really set the stage for what’s happening in the music world on a global scale. So, in the final analysis, the message in this issue of Profiles98 Magazine is all about rising from what seems to be a bad situation
and turning it into a positive recovery. Every situation, no matter how bad and dark it may seem, can be changed and made into something positive.....Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again.
