national attention, Higgins Bond (as she’s known professionally) has
been an illustrator and commercial artist for close to 40 years, </span><span style="color: #93c47d;">and I
take "bragging rights" ... Barbara is my maternal first cousin! What an
honor - I can't help but place her in celebration of this year's
Women's History Month. </span><span style="color: #800180;">Barbara, I think I remember right ... you said
you combined your maiden and married name because early on when you were
an up and coming illustrator, as in most high-level technical fields
back then, being female was sometimes career-challenging, but if the
name appeared male, it seemed to open doors. I don't know if things
have changed all that much.
Paraphrasing her biographical history:
Barbara's images have appeared in children’s books and on magazine and
book covers, posters, album covers, and collectors’ </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">plated created for
such prominent clients as Anheuser-Busch, McGraw-Hill, Essence magazine,
</span><span style="color: #800180;"> the Franklin Mint, The Bradford Exchange, NBC, Hennessy Cognac,
Frito-Lay, and Columbia House. She also is an adjunct professor of
illustration at the Nossi College of Art in Nashville. </span></p><p><span style="color: #800180;">The Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the Du Sable Museum of African-American History have
exhibited her work. </span><span style="color: red;">She has received prestigious honors including a
medal of honor from then-Governor Bill Clinton. </span><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> The first
African-American female to illustrate a United States postage stamp. </span><span style="color: #800180;">She
has created outstanding designs for three Black Heritage issues: Jan E.
Matzeliger, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Percy Lavon Julian. She also has
illustrated four stamps for the United Nations Postal Administration. The
"Great Kings of Africa" is one of my favorite of her </span>illustrations - but
she has created such a litany of great works, it is r-e-a-l-l-y hard to
choose.</p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="412" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bd2TtZ-nOyblOClmxpHU1WSAKyKHF3Z3aKwD6B4ZM7hOktpQEcdnoWAmf2KvZmFjg7Atcse-5_pqfeEQoJO_7nXxg2kN1rPb1kLB7xEwCYkMzMd2EgOu6q5DJjZARObCXY-S4ynhyphenhyphenuSuHLqq8Fc7qLBX1Pw1DllO6RHHF9xKQxui-qErxD4QhHt6ZWo/s320/Barbara%20Higginsbakhenaton__nefertiti.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bd2TtZ-nOyblOClmxpHU1WSAKyKHF3Z3aKwD6B4ZM7hOktpQEcdnoWAmf2KvZmFjg7Atcse-5_pqfeEQoJO_7nXxg2kN1rPb1kLB7xEwCYkMzMd2EgOu6q5DJjZARObCXY-S4ynhyphenhyphenuSuHLqq8Fc7qLBX1Pw1DllO6RHHF9xKQxui-qErxD4QhHt6ZWo/s412/Barbara%20Higginsbakhenaton__nefertiti.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">"Great Kings of Africa" is one of my favorite of her illustrations - but

incorporate into their high school system an etiquette program, a simple manners program, and some may offer <b>cotillion balls</b>. I love that idea, since I

It will be beneficial later for dating and business, professional associations and networking. I teach my young women the model's way on how to enter and exit limos; traveling in a limo manners; and the proper etiquette to graciously handle refreshments in the limo. When I work with <b>deb balls</b>, I ask the presenters to make a limo ride be part of the requirements.

I could list here what formal gowns I would recommend, but each presenter group has a theme, so listen carefully, follow their instructions and select only a gown that you love and you feel comfortable in. There are stores that specialize in Prom or <b>Ball </b>gowns. I advise that you don't select or wear what you don't feel comfortable in at first try-on. Remember, if you don't really like what you select to wear, you are not going to be comfortable and may let that cloud your ability to have a <b>ball -- "</b>great" experience!</span></p><p><span style="color: #800180;"><span class="fc-falcon">The dress code for the young men escorts is the</span></span><span style="color: #800180;"> gentlemen should rent and wear a long-tail black tuxedo, </span><span style="color: #800180;">white shirt, white bow tie, white gloves, with white waist-coat.
