In my obsessive MySpace days, I befriended Denis Sheehan’s Bone Print profile and fell in love with the synopsis of his book, “A Nobody’s Nothings.” I knew it was going to be a good read, so I ordered one and later ordered one for George (Gutty). We have been telling everyone we know about the language, character, and emotion of this book. Folks are intrigued, but they aren’t the folk that indulge in reading so they smile, agree, and never act… and that’s fine. In hopes, that you are different from the others, you will order his book and we can share insiders. We love you Sheehan! Content is mature and not suitable for children or sensitive doodyheads.
The Garment Center is the heart and soul of Midtown Manhattan and the backbone of the fashion industry. It was the gateway for many immigrants to the American Dream. Now, it’s in danger of disappearing.

Peerless, simply put. In an industry constantly inundated by new rappers every day, Fernando Moore, known as Nando McFlyy, has carved out his own category, with no desire to conform and with the sole intention to perfect his craft. Influenced by a childhood full of loss yet with the support of his grandmother and uncles, “Super Nike” Nando penetrates his listeners with an unbridled honesty and incomparable sound. At the tender age of 6, he suffered through an unfortunate circumstance: the passing of his mother, as a result of cancer. Without a father in his life, Nando began to pursue new interests, not to mention an untapped skill waiting to come out. In elementary school, sketching and rapping were the hobbies, but only until he arrived in middle school did Nando finally realize his potential for excellence, although knowing full well the necessity to focus. He received constant positive feedback from his peers about his music, further fueling his desire for something bigger than his own self. It was precisely this idea of music — the journey to tap within himself a source of poetry and art — that encouraged Nando to dedicate hours and hours writing and learning. Nevertheless, with setbacks constantly plaguing his life, Nando eventually dropped out of high school, but from his grandmother came the necessary motivation for Nando to obtain his GED.
