Sinners & Saynt: Jeffery Wright is the Shiznit

Many of you may or may not know this, but we here at Fashion Indie are active activists (as opposed to people who say they care about shit and then sit on their lazy fat asses while people in the world die of starvation, genocide, or other forms of oppression. Not judging or anything, to each his own).  We’ve been a little bit behind on posts today because of our work with All for Africa, a charity that plans to launch a massive initiative on the continent that will provide aid to nearly 700 on the ground organizations.  In September, the organization will host a boxing event that will feature star boxers and live performances by various music talents (John Legend and Mos Def are the most likely candidates) at Hammerstein Ballroom.  Today we hit the Ballroom and scoped out the space for our massive event.

It’s been an amazing adventure so far since one of my favorite actors, Jeffery Wright is on board for the event. Aside from his recent performance in The Invasion and Casino Royale, Jeffy boy was in Basquait, one of my all time favorite films!!!  It’s weird being around him on such a one-on-one level, cause all I want to talk about is the films he’s been in and the folks he’s worked with. I mean in Basquait alone he worked with David Bowie, Gary Oldman, Parker Posey and indie goddess Courtney Love!!! (okay goddess might be a stretch, but I love her).   So yeah, I’m a bit of a fan.

Which brings me to the point I’m trying to make.  Jeffery Wright will be General Colin Powell in the new Oliver Stone movie based on George W. Bush!!!  I can’t even deal with the cool in that, since Colin Powell is the shit for quitting on Dubya and this movie will become an instant classic of our generation!!!

Congrats mucho Jeffery. Someone give this man a fucking Oscar already!!!

Alright enough for the non-fashion talk, back to work.
