Socks and Sandals and other Scandals Emma Brown

Happy Spring to all our beautiful and loyal, Denim Star®, Sock Stars out there!  As you may or may not know, this
will be our last episode of Season 4, of “Socks and Sandals and Other Scandals Morning Cuppa Podcast” as Denim Star® gets set to temporarily go “Under Construction” for the next 6 months or so, as we do a digital detox and undertake our Denim Star® Socks re-branding. But before we do, we’d like to dive right into Episode 4, in honour of Earth Day, which, really for Denim Star®, we try to make happen everyday, as we take a look at what is on the agenda for Earth Day this year and its campaign theme “Planet vs Plastics”.

Happy March to all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars! Although we have all the usual players on our March dance card for events and celebrations this year.  This month we are going to hone in on one calendar event you might not know about, “As Young As You Feel Day” as well as one that you do know, “International Women’s Day” in a
collaboration that will help celebrate the life, of one of the most inspiring personalities in my life time, who sadly, just recently passed on March 1, 2024, at the ripe old age of 102! The one, the only, Ms. Iris Apfel, listen in with Billie and I Emma Lucy Brown on this hot topic!

Hello to all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars out there! Here’s wishing everybody an amazing 2024! And speaking of 2024, this year marks a special occasion in that, it only happens once, every 4 years.  Yes you got it. We’re talking about leap year.  It’s a Leap Year this year!!  Remember that old Mother Goose Leap Year rhyme: “Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.  All the rest have thirty-one, Excepting February alone, And that has twenty-eight days clear And twenty-nine in each leap year.” And for those of you who need a Leap Year 101 refresher course.  Here she goes.  For millennia, human beings have had a 0.24219 problem.  It’s that pesky extra five hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds at the end of Earth’s 365-day journey around the Sun. And for as long as we’re here on planet earth and want to keep
track of the date, that number will always be there to cause a problem. Listen in with myself Emma and Billie take a deep dive as we take a look at this forgotten date on the calendar and look at some of the leaps and bounds of February 29th that we know about!

This new year we’ll take a deep dive and have a giggle looking back on 2023 with some of the positive news items that stood out, as well as fashion news that was trending as well as, you guessed it, we have a scandal, and it was, believe it or not, a “socks and sandals scandal” like no other.  We haven’t discussed a fashion
scandal for quite some time have we? Was it “mankles”?  So without further adieu, let’s jump right in, the temperature is perfect haha!

Happy Winter and Merry Christmas to all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars! We know you’ve had an awesome Summer and hope you are having fun at the tail-end of Autumn here. Where has the time gone? Another year just flew by as we now head into Season 4 next year.  I just can’t believe it.  And as we wrap up, and take stock of everything we have gratitude for in our daily lives. We also take this time to chat about what we can do to appreciate our fellow man when it comes to giving to our loved ones, neighbours, friends and strangers, during our daily struggles that we sometimes come up against, along our journey of life. While, not to mention, taking the time to celebrate the littlest and simplest of grateful moments, when they do come our way. So without further adieu, let’s dive right in, and take a look at some of the great Christmas giving ideas, that give, this Xmas. Listen in with me Emma and Billie on this hot topic!

So what exactly is adaptive fashion you might ask? Adaptive clothing is apparel that has been designed for people who have difficulties dressing themselves due to age, disability or general lack of mobility. And how technology is being used for fabrics to help us adapt to our new broiling environment. Listen in with Billie & I, Emma Lucy Brown Founder of Denim Star® on this hot topic. Enjoy!
