Joseph Lamour
Fashion and Entertainment Editor
Joseph Lamour not only writes about Scandal happenings and Vogue foibles for Racialicious, but he also does art direction, graphic/web design, illustration… basically anything arts-related. He’s even styled nominees for The Grammies.
A Rhode Island School of Design graduate, Joe spends his time drawing, writing articles and lyrics, (he’s a singer too,) and designing. His clients have included Smithsonian Latino Center, Pace-Wildenstein Gallery, The Kennedy Center, The Pentagon, and The White House, among others.
Joseph would like you to know that he enjoys a good mystery, including Harlan Coben and Charlaine Harris novels. His love for the latter led him here: First talking about everyone’s favorite telepathic waitress for Racialicious’ True Blood roundtables, and now for a more in depth look at fashion, entertainment, and their relation to the racial landscape. He also posts at his own blog, Joe Lamour Everyday.
