Basically my Mama and Papa are hotties.

That is what people need to know.

Words can not express how much I love my Parentals, for their love, support and laughs...but another thing I can totally thank them about is passing on their love for style on to moi.

There is this one particular album that was floating around our house and seriously it was like looking at a fashion spread.  The era was the late 70s and early 80's.  Coming out of that glam, disco season and moving on to what would be the funky 80s.  My parents had such an effortless style, but also keeping in line with what was current fashion trend at the time.

Daddy Mel rocked the skinny look that half of London's Indie kids are trying so hard to portray presently, graphic tees, simple sweaters and Skinny suits, ON POINT.  He was super into Basketball when he was in High School and kept some of his old Vests which are brilliant.  Think Lords of Dogtown, meets South East Asia.  Part of me think he looks a little like a young Bruce Lee.
Mama Cho was and still is a babe.  Known for her style throughout the years she presents elegance and class, and as the years pass shows what living gracefully is all about.  We have so many old photo albums in our house, and every couple of years we go through phases of pulling them all out and going through them all.  So many times my two sisters and I have ooohed and aaahed at her outfits, make up and hairstyles.  I have been fortunate to have claimed some kept pieces, but my sister Krystel has claimed the most being blessed with inheriting Mama's petite figure.  Here are some snaps from the same album the ones of my Dad are from, and also some really old school ones when she was rocking out that island flavour in her teens.
