Howdy! I know, long time no blog. But I'm back, and I'm itching in a totally non-contagious way to start my new blog about all things new and fresh from my PR peeps and marketing divas in New York, L.A. and, yes, Coweta.

***All hail the queen***

HRH Queen Latifah is about to kick it into high gear with new a CD and clothing line.

That’s right, hip-hop's royal highness, aka Dana E. Owens, is riding high and rolling out big things. With a custom Bobber motorcycle as her throne, the Queen shows her adventurous side on this month's cover of Ebony magazine, draped in a cat suit and patent leather (page 84).

Ebony’s October issue hits stands Monday.

***JCPenny for your thoughts***

Next up, wanna tell y’all about Nicole Miller, who’s combined her typical elegance and edginess into her new fall Nicole by Nicole Miller collection exclusively for JCPenney.

The collection encompasses sportswear, special occasion dresses, loungewear and intimate apparel, all in signature fabrics and sophisticated details. Ms. Miller designed a variety of lightweight city coats, skirts, sweaters, premium denim, tunics, cocktail frocks and lingerie, all of which move effortlessly from day-to-evening and work-to-weekend.

Prices range from $32.00 to $150.00. Here’s an overview of the collection’s key looks:

Aztec. Nicole by Nicole Miller goes tribal this season with blue geometric patterns in several silhouettes including sheer tops, tie-back tunics and pleated skirts.

Brights. This season its all about electric blue, and it is no different in this collection. A beautiful, ladylike charmeuse button-down paired with black leather gloves gives it a rebellious edge.

Sequins. These details accents the collection and makes a bold statement in the sequined sweater, which can be belted for an extra polished look.

Animal prints. Zebra and cheetah prints are represented in a modern way with a color palette of black and white, accented with highlights of fuchsia. The prints are mixed together or stand alone in tunics, pleated skirts, and bell-sleeve and structured jackets.

Dressed Up. The collection would not be complete without Nicole's forte: The little black dress. This time it’s belted. Dare to stand out in the pleated fuchsia cocktail dress with flower detail or the copper two-pocket number – my personal favorite (shown here).

I really enjoy your column. It is hilarious and I look forward to reading it every Tuesday. In today's column you wrote about PR peeps and marketing divas in Coweta; this intrigued me. Please tell me more.

Keep up the great work!

Hi, Patti! Sorry, I'm REALLY bad about checking comments on here -- usually because it's my mom e-mailing me from prison to tell me she's in there because of me. Kidding! My mom's not in prison; she's a very saint-like lady in south Mississippi.

Anyway, what exactly was it that you wanted to know about the "PR peeps" in Coweta? Please know I was being facetious; however, I'd love to hear from PR folks in Coweta. As of now, though, it's mostly Tulsa, New York, L.A. and, on occasion, Minneapolis.

Please holler back if this was totally useless.

Thanks for writing ... xoxo

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
