Fashion and Art Come Together For a Perfect Masterpiece at “rosita loves SCOOP"

Ugh oh! I've tried to stay away from doing this for years...yet I've finally had to say yes...I've been asked to model in an upcoming funky cool fashion show hosted by my friend and client Angelique Cunningham of rosita jones studio. Now if you've ever met me, you know I'm no taller than a Keebler elf and slightly round in the middle, so seeing me model vintage clothing will definitely be a sight! But heck, I guess I should try it - and mark it off my bucket list. So join me for this free night of fun...and I won't be mad if you make fun of me doing my best impression of Naomi Campbell's walk...

 It’s an art meets fashion extravaganza on Friday, March 25 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. as rosita jones studio. teams up with SCOOP studios Contemporary Art Gallery to showcase vintage fashion looks combined with the multiple photo realism of artist Kenton James, for a night art and fashion lovers will never forget at the “rosita loves SCOOP” event. This unique event will take place at SCOOP studios Contemporary Art Gallery at 57 1/2 Broad Street in Downtown Charleston. 

Patrons will enjoy art, vintage fashion, cocktails and the opportunity to receive a complimentary bottle of custom blended rosita jones studio. nail polish exclusively made for SCOOP studios with any SCOOP studios purchase. 
A pre-party for the big event, “rosita loves SCOOP”, will happen Thursday, March 24 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at SCOOP Studios where the new rosita jones studio. summer nail polish colors will be unveiled, party goers will receive a mini-manicure with  their purchase and their chance to have a rosita jones studio. nail polish named after you. (PS...LOVE HER NAIL COLORS, MORE TO COME ON THAT ONE!) 
On display will be the work of Kenton James, a self-taught contemporary figurative painter whose recent work seeks to capture the compound rush of modern American life in a multi-layered and compositionally dense photorealistic style. James solo show, “Cinnamonworld,” was just presented at SCOOP studios and is running through the end of March.  Visit www.scoopcontemporary.com for details.

rosita jones studio. is the brainchild of Charleston native, Angelique Cunningham. Named in honor of her grandmother, affectionately known as Rosie, Cunningham ran a successful retail store on King Street for years with the same name. She took a break from the retail industry to refocus and upon returning to the fashion scene, decided to create a rosita jones studio. that was a more personal, customized experience for each individual. This now reflected in her new studio space at 1664 Old Towne Road in West Ashley where she offers private parties, trunk shows, vintage clothing and custom blended, formaldehyde-free nail polish with a cult-like following.

CHEERS! ~Ryan

Goodbye to a Vibrant Soul - Dottie Frank

The Lowcountry lost one of our most amazing authors and my absolutely favorite persons, Dorothea Benton Frank aka Dottie/Dot Frank. A New York Times Best Selling Author,  her books kept me in love with my hometown while I lived in Colorado. I was lucky enough to know her and it breaks my heart that she is gone. Here's what I wrote on Facebook when I heard the news. Hope to see so many of those that loved her at the memorial. Photo:  https://bermudaonion.net/ Ryan Nelson Goldwater September 3 at 6:07 PM ·  As I write this, I hope that Dottie DB Frank Dorothea Benton Frank is looking over my shoulder (and so many other of us who are posting something like this right now) and feeling no pain. I'm not happy that she's gone AT ALL, but she was the embodiment of the Lowcountry. Sending love and light to her family. She was so happy to be a mom and grandmom. Her love for her family and readers was unique. Dottie, thank you for being you. Thank you for your raspy v

Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I
