<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">THE
NEW HAMILTONMODE</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is the new look at HAMILTONMODE it will no
longer play host to the latest Fashions or discuss people I have only seen from
a distance…but rather be a biographical look at William Anthony Hamilton from
all his aspects including and not limited to…dancing at Studio 54 to vogueing
on the corner in front of Peter Rabbits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So sit back and enjoy this ride which is WAH just as much as I have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So let’s begin…</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Picture it, Sunday June 4, 1961 Anthony Hastings is
born in York, Nebraska to, humph, I don’t know, but was adopted by William and
Josephine Hamilton, well there it is, NO NATIVE NY’ER a transplant, that went
to become a quintessential New Yorker!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Born to nothingness! Staff Sergeant William Hamilton and his wife
Josephine decide to adopt the 16 month old Anthony Hastings, to give him a life
that will go down in memory, my memory, nonetheless, but worthy to be told. I
do not even remember my Nebraska days, I came alive in Albuquerque, NM at four
and half years old living on Wilmore Street SE While my dad was in Germany,
life was even fabulous in those formative years I remember being the dad and
standing on the dining room table chair telling my mom, “I’m the daddy now,” in
those days I remember making my bed and setting the dinner Table which mom
taught me to do and every night for dinner I would set the table regardless to
what we were having for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, we
had a presence at Wilmore; momma swore there was someone buried in the back of
the yard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, every picture we have
of me shows a figure covering me, this “ghost” was not scary and many a night I
would be found in the Hallway talking to this figure, my mom would ask, who are
you talking to baby and I would just point, in hindsight, I think it was a
divine being, what we discussed I know not, my mom being deceased cannot remark
on it nor my sister who I do not think remembers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found a Love for God, Jesus, Mary, the
Saints, Angels at an early age! Thanks to Sister Marie Antoine at San Jose Parochial
School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will never forget my sister
bringing little books of the Saints home and reading them to me, and me sitting
in awe when she read that The Little Flower when she died let fall from heaven
a shower of Roses, my little mind immediately thought that it rained Roses! Who
knew that Saint Therese of Lisieux would become my most favorite of Saints, and
who else would know that her shower of Roses was a metaphor for when she died
there would be miracles falling from Heaven! </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ALBUQUERQUE</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So much has happened since 2013; I left Long Beach,
CA for Albuquerque, NM to be with my sister who you will meet as this blog goes
on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Long Beach proved to be a mistake and
we will not bash Long Beach, suffice it to say, we could have chosen a 101 places
better, my health deteriorated while in Long Beach, I never left the Apartment
for the pain from my Peripheral Neuropathy, alas, we moved to Albuquerque, NM
to be nearer my sister who does not seem to be in the best of health either,
and since this is the only family I have left, I thought it important to make
this move.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As you all know, I left New York City a hefty 233
pounds well, since moving to The Land of Enchantment I am down to 193 lbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When leaving NYC I donated all my designer
clothes, but I saved my belts in hopes that one day, one day, I will be able to
get in them once again, and well, that time has come I can fit all my designer
belts save my Louis Vuitton, therefore, more weight must be lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The apartment complex I moved into which
happens to be the nicest we have ever had since being together, Bay Ridge was
cute but this place is much bigger and offers us a washer and dryer in the unit,
dishwasher, two bathrooms and an office, bedroom as well and all very spacious,
Habibi says I did a good job!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Albuquerque is a lot, well not a lot, like Long Beach in that one needs
to drive while living here, therefore we have bought a Ford Focus, our bucket
to get us around until we become completely and firmly planted her in ABQ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Albuquerque is a down to earth kind of place
where labels do not mean too much, but I do see girls pooching with their
Michal Kors bags, or Coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BUT WE DO
HAVEAN H&M here, I have not checked it out yet as I am not of the weight to
be going in asking anything with my fat ass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am seriously working on this weight and will have it down and must
order my clothe on line as there are not any High End store but Dillards here and
even that has become a joke, but it beats MACY’s oh gawd, there are only two
Macy’s Herald Square in NYC and the one in San Fran, these other things popping
up all over the place are like a glorified JCPenny, and I am not knocking
JCPenny at all. One walks into Macy’s here and you swear you had walked into
Salvatore Ferragamo minus the comp Champagne at the door, it is the attitude,
these folks act like they are the poo!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
do not throw shade, I mean this is ABQ I let them throw shade at me, because
they are not knowing, my belt cost more than their entire get up and I smile
and give them the awright! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It has just dawned on me, I have never wished you my
followers a proper HAPPY NEW YEAR…we go through so much in a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Accomplishments, promotions, and things we
have never done or think that we would do, and alas we have Illness and deaths
around this time of the year which makes us think “what is God thinking.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not up to us to even try to think what
God is thinking…oh it gets better, you still think of those who dearly departed,
but not in a sad way but rather a joyous way, there are many who are suffering this
brand new year let the creator comfort them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For those who suffer the New Year’s holiday, it
would be presumptuous of me to say; I know what you are going through, because
I do not, and never will, but know, there is a big plan for you this season,
big plans, just hold on tight and let the Universe, God, Allah, whatever you
call God, let it have its way with you and enjoy…oh let this day be a day of
happiness and of new possibilities, let this year be the year we cast all
negative energy aside and start anew, let this year be great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My fashionistas, hold tight your dreams, never let
them fade and press on, press one when everybody is telling you no, press on,
and if they are telling you no for your own good, you might want to listen,
just sayin’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Nevertheless, my wish is to wish you a very happy
new year and may it be enlightening and prosperous. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">UPDATE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we
were to move in November 1<sup>st</sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>but then the management found that the bathroom had floor rot and
decided it must be fixed before we moved in so they moved the date to December
1<sup>st</sup> instead, they said it would take two weeks to fix, well as of
date no work has been done on the bathroom, so it does not look like we will be
moving in till after December, December what I have no idea, management said
they would prorate the rent which is good, stressful but good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moving to California, I weighed a hefty 233 pounds
and in three weeks I have lost seven pounds, this weight gain of mine is
proving to be most taxing, I have never in my life weighed this much, I have
been a wisp of a waif all my life and then moving to NYC I just blew up, I hope
this move to California will prove healthful as far as my weight is concerned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have not been able to shop as I would like
as my weight has gone up exponentially since moving back to NYC four years
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The move back to NYC proved helpful in the fact I
know why I left NYC in the first place, lol and it was the weather then as it
is the weather again, this time it is the heat and humidity of the Summer, the
last time it was the bone chilling cold, the winters were fine it was just the
Summers that I could not deal with, and when my Doctor said a move to Arizona
or Southern California would do my health some good, well seeing that I hate
Arizona, my only choice would be back to sunny Southern California where I
lived for 18 years, as it appears, California seems to be *home*. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look forward to my legendary parties here
in California, Birthday, Celebration of Life, and my Super Bowl parities and
all the little get togethers in between.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

introduce you to SFFW’s newest member Ezra Estes the Fashion Coordinator, my

what they do. Such things as keeping a clear path for models to *run* through
while undressing/dressing, making sure the flow of the runway is consistent and
flows and that designers are able to breathe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Syrup’s stunning
silhouettes, unique fabrics, and handcrafted details function both to
accentuate and flatter a woman’s body and to support her confidence and sense
of style. The Syrup swimwear and cover-up collection focuses on making a woman
look and feel her most beautiful, sensual and alluring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With exclusive, eye-catching designs, I
strive to make the Syrup woman the center of attention by finding the perfect
balance of her delicate femininity and her playful, sexy side.</div>

<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 10.35pt;">
Mr. Aaron Fust, the
founder of Syrup Swimwear got his ideas for a fashionable swimwear collection
by spending a significant amount of time on the Beaches of Spain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Europe, women are very serious about
swimwear and do not take this lightly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On returning to the United States Mr. Fust thought, what about American women,
certainly they too would benefit from *fashionable* swimwear, 2007 the birth of
Syrup Swimwear and now women in major cities from Miami, New York, Los Angeles,
and Los Vegas have been seen sporting Syrup.</div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 10.35pt;">
Mr. Fust is the newest
addition to Santa Fe Fashion Week; there he will bring the Community of Santa
Fe a firsthand look at his collection in hopes to develop an interest in his
swimwear to the Santa Fe lady who from necessity often give pool parties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I certainly hope these ladies of the high
desert find and love this collection, as I am sure they will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See more at; http://syrupswimwear.com/products-page/syrup-spring-2012/<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can find Syrup Swimwear on both

<div style="background: white; margin-left: 0in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in; vertical-align: top;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Courier New";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">o<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;">The prettiest dresses are worn to be taken off, told us Jean Cocteau, the director of the Beauty and the Beast. Stephanie Burkhalter's dresses are pratically begging to be taken off as they transport us to a fantasy world, where leaves become rose petals, art deco meets childhood dreams and her dresses underline the full richness of every true woman: sensual yet strong, sophisticated yet playful, with a multitude of secret gardens waiting to be touched upon by the right enquisitive and worthy soul. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Stephanie Burkhalter perfectly illustrates this as she takes us on a mysterious walk through gardens on the shores of Lake Geneva, a stone's throw away from the villa Diodata where an 18 year old Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein nearly 200 years ago. The same electric energy runs through Burkhalter Couture's «The Prettiest Dresses Are Worn To Be Taken Off» A/W 2011/2012 collection: put them on and YOU will look and feel fantastic, in all meanings of the word, the intricacies of the dresses underlying yours.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps these are the two single most important words to describe this collection: intricacies and underlying. You are made of a multitude of details that define you yet require a close look to be noticed, just as you keep your secret gardens mostly hidden, you reveal your intricacies to few and anyone who does not see them will not fully understand you. <br />
<br />
As Burkhalter Couture perfectly understands, it is all about you, hence her dresses underlining you. There is no doubt that the true star of the fantasy world her dresses transport you to is the woman wearing the dress, hence the tasteful discretion with which the rich details are brought together. <br />
<br />
By wearing her creations, you are making a statement about yourself: Yes, I am a Woman in her full complexity, a little girl who has now grown up yet her remembers, cherishes her dreams and has become the princess she always dreamt of being; yes, I deserve the best; yes, come for a walk with me into the woods?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Many beautiful things can happen on such a walk, many beautiful things happen to those who dream and even more to those who live their dreams. From the moment you put on one of Stephanie Burkhalter's dresses to the moment a prince takes it off, you will be a princess? After that? Well, that will be up to the Prince, won't it?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
