5/15/15 O&A Shall We Dance Friday: 5 Incredible Argentine Tango Performances
Lots can be said about performance tango but I am a lot more of a milonga kind-of-guy. Milongas are social dance parties at the dance halls that are less formal, less rigid, and much more nuanced by the small dance floors and relationships that form. Milongas are a place to find “under the radar” performance gems. Here are my top 5 picks of the best Argentine Tango performances at milongas in 2014 (new rankings based on viewers’ choice):
1. Chicho Frumboli & Juana Sepulveda Performing at Dance Manhattan (NYC)
2. Ismael Ludman & Maria Mondino at Timisoara Tango Story (Timisoara, Romania)
3. Michael Nadtochi & Eleanora Kalganova at Prischepov Milonga (Russia,Moscow)
4. Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne – The Great Milonga at Goldcoast Ballroom (Coconut Creek, FL)
5. Claudio Gonzalez & Melina Brufman – Milonga Apertura at Rosario Tango Festival (Rosario, Argentina)

5/15/15 O&A With Walestylez- Fashion/Sportswear: Air Jordan Hare 7 Release Saturday May 16, 2015
By Adewale Adekanbi Jr.
Air Jordan‘s 23rd anniversary is reintroducing one of the most famous colorways in the Jordan Brand archives with the Air Jordan Hare. The release date is May 16th, 2015. Prior to the Space Jam film, Air Jordan Hare was Jordan’s seventh signature shoe. It was the first collaboration with the Warner Brother Studio’s infamous Bugs Bunny, who helped sell the shoe across numerous ad platforms. A subtle white and grey base allow for the vibrant splashes of color on the neoprene mesh tongue to stand out. Rumor has it that the array of green and orange was created to honor Bugs’ carrot addiction while a more traditional Chicago ‘True Red’ stands out on the outsole and Jumpman branding. The White/True Red-Light Silver-Tourmaline Air Jordan 7 Retro Hare is priced at $190.
