Lakers Pay Tribute to Kobe and Gianna

It hasn’t been a full week yet since we heard the news of Gianna and Kobe Bryant’s passing last Sunday and the world is still grieving. For the Lakers’ first game after the news, the Staples Center paid tribute in a huge way. Everyone attending the game would receive a Kobe Bryant jersey. One side would receive “24” while the other side would receive “8.” Two seats on the sideline were decorated with roses to represent the two of them. Before the game had started, both Usher and Boyz II Men sang “Amazing Grace” and the “National Anthem” respectively. You may have seen it by now, but LeBron James also gave a heartwarming speech and dedication to Kobe.

The Rise and Fall of Juicy Couture

Earlier this year, my team threw an early 2000’s happy hour and came dressed in Juicy Couture sweatsuits for it. It got me wondering how the brand rose to popularity and then disappeared all of a sudden. This video depicting their origin shows that they were the OG brand gifters that paved the way for everyone else today. While I never owned a suit myself, I did once buy a black Juicy Couture bikini on sale. I’m not sure if I would feel okay being caught wearing it today, but at the time, I loved it.

Over the years, President Obama’s photographer, Pete Souza has captured more than 2 million moments over two terms. These iconic photos have both made me laugh and left me speechless. It’s one of the toughest jobs in America and it has completely aged President Obama – though no one is surprised by that either. There has been a number of publications that have highlighted some of their favorite photos by Souza and here are some of ours as well as their sources so that you can view them all.
