Shannade and Shannon Clermont are part of the cast of the Oxygen staple reality show Bad Girls Club. Are you a fan of that show? If not, you probably haven’t been able to escape these 21-year old twins/native New Yorkers of Haitian descent.

The Clermont twins’ fashion game is always on point. They stay looking shèlbè. Let us, oh kreyolicious cheries, examine the times when they outdid themselves, and had their kreyoliciousness on overdrive.

1. When they walked the streets of New York during New York Fashion Week.

One of the rare times that they made a public appearance with non-identical clothes, Shannon and Shannade favored short skirts, with long-sleeved tops. Anybody else noticed that they went blonde too for that occasion?

2. That time when they modeled Moschino.

Moschino is like, a cool brand, and the Slaymonts are cool chicks. So what do you have when you combined those two brands? Utter coolness.

3. That time when they donned those suede jackets with the fringes.

4. That time when they wore those nerdy glasses.

They made you wonder if they read Tolstoi and all the stories in the James Baldwin collection.

5. That time when they paid homage to modern fashion.

And they wore those hats and paid homage to classic cabaret shows.

They you have it folks…yet another edition of Kreyolicious fashion….

Haiti-based songstress/rapstress Princess Eud has a serious spitting game, but she also has mad fashion sense. Let’s see all the times when she looked kreyolicious and totally killed it.

1. That time she went Egyptian on everyone.

But neither Hatsheput, Cleopatra nor Nefertiri ever had it like that. Eyelashes like an eagle’s wing, and a nose-ring game that hasn’t been scene since the Mosaic days of Mesopatamia.

2. That time when she gave that side-eye, while wearing that body-tight onesie.

And wore that kente cloth-inspired scarf while she was at it. [Photo Credit: Ludwig Borgella/LBS Photo]

3. That time when she took sleepover pajamas to a new level.

Pajama pants are such boring matter. They need to be brought to life with darkness-black scarves and a cute knit, and a dynamic twist-dreads hair bang.

4. That time when she mixed workout stir-ups with West African fabric patterns.

And looked darn good while doing so. Added golden bracelets to complete the look and a light, twisty neckbrace-like necklace. [Photo Credit: Roroli Studio Photography]

5. That time when Afro Alice hooked her up with a burgundy fro.

And she wore those Nero/gladiator teak-wood-colored sandals, and glowing bangles, with a short set.

Have you seen a photo of model and motivational speaker/community leader Tico Armand? If you haven’t, you should really take a quick pause and log on to her Instagram, or something. Yeah, or something. The stately beauty is rather daring in her fashion style. Very kreyolicious. Ahem. Now…let’s take a look at the five times she looked kreyolicious and totally killed the fashion game, and downright outdid herself….

1. That time when she took us to the plains of the Serengheti, and we didn’t even have to pay a $1,508.23+ airplane ticket.

Obviously inspired by the Masai in Kenya, Tico wore the life out of the traditional costumes of these highly-influential tribe.

2. That time when she reminded us of our West African origins.

Arada, Wolof…Mandinka…Puehl…

3. That time she gave Queen Elizabeth a run for her money with that wedding dress.

You look at her in this dress…and all you can think of is the Elizabethan age…Tico style.

4. That time she wore her born-day suit.

This is a reminder to me…and all of us really that…well…It doesn’t matter how many pretty clothes we wear, we must be comfortable when all the clothes are stripped, and it’s just us and the mirror.

5. That time when she wore music…literally…

Wax on the body…literally. Vintage records made to look like a leather suit.

And then there was that time when she wore that safety pin outfit…and then there was the time when she wore the yellow Cleopatra dress…need I enumerate all the times she looked kreyolicious? I’ll be sitting here typing all day. Let it suffice to say, dear kreyolicious cheries, that these were the 5 times that Tico Armand looked kreyolicious and totally killed the fashion game.

Call her Miami’s Blonde Venus. Saskya Sky has the voice, and she has the look to shine at any party. She’s a star even when she’s not “turned up”. The petite singer behind the girl empowerment track “Pretty Girl Whip” is not only inspiring young girls and women with her message of self-love, but she’s also inspiring them with her fashion sense. Shall we look at all the times she’s looked kreyolicious and killed the fashion game? Yes, we should, and we shall.

1. That time she wore her custom Holchiline Alcy dress.

Doesn’t she look like a genie from one of the stories of your local library’s edition of Arabian Knights? She’s a genie without a bottle, baby.

2. When she paid that silent tribute to Billie Holiday.

A lily on her shaggy mane…a pensive look…an overall tribute to 1940s Harlem.

3. That time when she took the Madonna of the Blonde Ambition tour era out of storage boxes.

Yeah, she looks just like a classic version of The Material Girl. Leather-bra with a silver chain. Hair pulled up in a tight, super-slick ponytail.

4. That time when she proved once and for all…that one piece can totally make an outfit.

With this Asian-patterned, oversized jacket, the singer made quite a fashion statement…a fashion statement with multiple exclamation marks.

5. That time when she made the breast of small-breasted girls shake with pride.

Women with small chests are sometimes made to feel like they’re inadequate. Like, they’re missing some meat on their breast plates. Like Aaliyah before her, Saskya rocked her small frame with pride. To see her wear this scarf outfit isn’t just looking at a woman with an intrepid sense of style. It’s self-acceptance in the flesh. You’re small chested? Be proud. It’s okay. No hate on those with triple Ds to Gs, but small-chested girls can be styling too, thank you very much. And thank you Saskya for proving so. There’s nothing better than a fashion statement enveloped in a self-esteem statement.

There you have it folks…5 Times Saskya Sky looked kreyolicious…and totally killed the fashion game.

News of the murder soon reached the American Navy ships anchored in the city’s harbor. President Woodrow Wilson, who was wary about the turn of events in Haiti, and especially the possibility that Bobo would take power, ordered American troops to seize the capital, claiming that the unrest might precipitate a German invasion of the country. They landed the next day, on 28 July, and continued to occupy the country for nineteen years, until August 1934. .

Sam fled to the French embassy, where he received asylum. The rebels’ mulatto leaders broke into the embassy and found Sam. They dragged him out and beat him senseless then threw his limp body over the embassy’s iron fence to the waiting populace, who then ripped his body to pieces and paraded the parts through the capital’s neighborhoods.
Why??? It is said that Sam was forced to contend with a revolt against his own regime, led by Dr. Rosalvo Bobo, who opposed the government’s expanded commercial and strategic ties with the United States.
Fearing that he would share the same fate as his predecessors, Sam acted harshly against his political opponents, particularly the better educated and wealthier mulatto population.
The culmination of his repressive measures came on 27 July 1915, when he ordered the execution of 167 political prisoners, including former president Zamor, who was being held in a Port-au-Prince jail. This infuriated the population, which rose up against Sam’s government as soon as news of the executions reached them.

Born 4 March 1859 in Ouanminthe, Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam’s presidency was marked by mounting chaos and violence that resulted in the occupation of the country by U.S. Marines.
Sam was proclaimed president when his predecessor, Joseph Davilmar Théodore, was forced to resign on 25 February 1915, when he was unable to pay the militiamen (called “Cacos”) who had helped him overthrow Zamor.

While responding to U.S. pressures to arrange a customs receivership similar to the one the Americans had created for the Dominican Republic, Sam spent most of his time fighting his political enemies, who were led by the virulently anti-American Rosalvo Bobo. Sam ordered the execution of 167 prisoners, many of them Bobo’s supporters.
Sam fled to the French embassy, where he received asylum. The rebels’ mulatto leaders broke into the embassy and found Sam. They dragged him out and beat him senseless then threw his limp body over the embassy’s iron fence to the waiting populace, who then ripped his body to pieces and paraded the parts through the capital’s neighborhoods. For the next two weeks, the country was in chaos.

In retaliation, on 28 July 1915, he was lynched and butchered by a mob in Port-au-Prince.

Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Marines occupied Haiti.
