Brenda and Ellis Coleman are known as Clarksdale, Mississippi's "King and Queen of Style." Brenda designs and crafts an endless series of matching outfits for herself and her husband to wear to the blues club on weekends. Ellis creates art installations in his home and yard as well. Although Ellis works long hours as a beer distributor and Brenda splits her work time as a kindergarten teacher, scoolbus driver and sewing department worker at Wal-Mart, they find the time to decorate themselves and their surroundings impeccably.
