Okenaga—Black Indian culture bearer Narrie Approo at Victoria Square, Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 2009, taken by Abigail Hadeed as part of her outdoor backdrop project, through which she documented masmakers like Approo and the costumes they made. Used with permission. To put on face paint and a costume in the context of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival—especially within the realm held by the characters of traditional mas—is to be transformed, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It was a routine metamorphosis for Narrie Approo, the country’s oldest “Black Indian” masque…

By The Editors We realize much of the country has already dealt with significant snowfall, but we are (for the most part) NYC-based wimps who woke up to the first real accumulation of the season this morning, a solid 6-8 inches of white stuff that immediately threw us into a tizzy trying to find our snow boots of choice. So we thought, what better time to fire up the old company Slack and ask everyone to tell us what they’re wearing to the bodega and beyond today. SOREL Caribou BootThere’s a reason Sorel’s iconic Caribou Boot is rarely in stock come winter. Seam-sealed, waterproof and insulate…

By Chris Herring The point guard is not shy when it comes to challenges, but can he turn things around for Los Angeles? View the original article to see embedded media. Russell Westbrook has seemingly never been one to shy away from what he perceives to be a challenge. When his turnover totals were called into question during a press conference recently, Westbrook—the league leader in turnovers so far this season—promptly came out the following game and had no giveaways—the first time in almost six calendar years he’d done so. Back in April 2019, Westbrook famously posted a game with 20 points…

MANILA, Philippines — LeBron James exploded for a season-high 43 points to lead the struggling Los Angeles Lakers past the Portland Trailblazers, 139-106, at the Crypto.com Arena in California on Friday (Saturday, Manila time). After going 1-5 in their last six games, the Lakers took the statement win over the Trailblazers in dominating fashion. The Lakers never trailed and led by as big as 35 points in the lopsided match up. James paced the Lakers with his 43 points and 14 rebounds in less than 30 minutes of play. Six other Lakers finished in twin-digit scoring with Malik Monk leading the sup…

ATLANTA — The offense was stuck in the mud most of the night, but when it mattered most, the Spartans got the big plays they needed. Payton Thorne, who struggled for much of the game, threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes — the first to Connor Heyward and another to Jayden Reed with 2:51 to play — to rally No. 10 Michigan State to a 31-21 victory over No. 12 Pittsburgh in the Peach Bowl on Thursday in front of 41,230 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Thorne finished 29-for-50 passing for 354 yards and three touchdowns, while Reed had six catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns. Jalen Nailor, …

If the season ended today, the Eagles would be a winning team that has qualified for the NFL playoffs, and Jason Kelce would be Time magazine’s Person of the Year. The Eagles stand one win from effectively landing a playoff spot. If they win at Washington in a week, in their finale they likely will face a Cowboys team more intent on resting its players for the following week’s playoffs than winning a winter game in Philadelphia on Jan. 9. That would give the Eagles 10 wins, as someone predicted. Anything can happen, and veterans know that — even a loss to a talent-challenged, COVID-addled Gian…

SEATTLE — What can we say about 2021? It sucked demonstrably less than 2020, but still mostly sucked. Matter of fact, the only things that didn’t suck this year were “Squid Game” memes and all the mighty fine music Washington artists put forth into the world. (How’s that for a segue?) For the past three years, we’ve asked a bunch of local music smarties — writers, radio peeps, playlisters — to submit their choices for the top 10 local albums of the year, and the unending pandemic and inevitable collapse of society as we know it can’t stop us now! We happily present to you The Seattle Times’ Fo…

By Matt Ehalt Betting there would not be a touchdown scored in the Saints-Buccaneers game rewarded bettors with 90-1 odds at SI Sportsbook on Sunday. Let. Us. See. The. Ticket. There are those lucky oracles in the world Monday whose holiday started early after they woke up Sunday morning and decided: “You know what? I’m going to bet that the Saints and Buccaneers won’t score a touchdown today!” We don’t know why you did it. Betting against MVP frontrunner Tom Brady at home to score one touchdown? One?!?! But maybe seeing those +9000 odds were appetizing. Then again, you’re not getting 90-1 odd…

SEATTLE — It was the best of times; it was the worst of times; it was back to unprecedented times. Even as the Seattle Kraken played their game with the Edmonton Oilers at Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday night, the cloud of COVID-19 hung over them. Jamie Oleksiak was the latest to enter protocols right before warm-ups before a 5-3 loss for the Kraken, their second in a row. The night before a game with Toronto was postponed. It was hard to ignore what’s been happening in the hockey world the past few days with more than 100 players in COVID-19 protocols across the league, four of them from th…
