*this pic has been floating around the web. bloggers described it and titled their stories on it: a black couple gives birth to two white children!

i used to love this song--it was a 6th grade anthem.
it's what it's all about--growth and realizing what makes you-you. plus u can dance to it, if u want to.

after a long night with no real sleep. this made me feel a little better on the inside. BANG!

.......and the judges(my loins and common sense) say:............NOT HAPPENING!





*i'm all for struggling and grinding together in a real relationship. this was inspired by the doo rag, dirty, no-wash jean wearing 21 year old, block hugger who mistook my youthful looks for horny stupidity. that tried to get my attention with a "yo-whaddup ma?"--"i can give u a massage" line, on a random corner. no thanx, sir.bye.

BANG!

no-its really 3 heels on this.
lil' treat that will be featured during nyc fashion week. details to come.

oh, LOVE.

"When love is pure, there is no need to control, convince, cajole, beg or insist. There is just surrender." ~Deepak Chopra



My good, never speak to on a regular basis-but always pick up where we left off friend, Valeisha Butterfield shared this gem on twitter.( check her out: Web: www.weenonline.org Twitter: www.twitter.com/valeisha )
The words moved her enough to share and they have done the same for me.
With all these self proclaimed wisdom gurus in twitterville only the special quotes like this one stand out. thanks V!

(although the picture above may look like fun for some of u-no one wants to be held hostage in real life.)
This quote struck a cord with me-I've been in a not-so good relationship that included a lot of the above. i was young and i remember Not having the words to express this exact sentiment. but i remember saying to him during one of our many status evaluations: love shouldn't be this hard, it should not feel like a chore and i don't want my love to be evaluated, period! he would isolate me from my friends and family and often tell me--you're just young and u don't know how to sacrifice and stick it out. you are spoiled and I'm just trying to teach you about a "real" relationship. then he would ask me if i wanted out--I'd say, yes. then he'd cry and beg. then proceed to tell me, no one would or could love me as much as him. TRAGIC, right?
hell yeah-i was there!
but none-the-less i made it thru that. and I've witnessed some of my friends get entangled in similar situations. its hard to watch someone go thru--what u know will never work but u gotta speak ur piece and let them find their way out of it.
so long story short---this quote says it all! if ur in a situation and the above applies------RUN!
LOVE should never hurt or make u feel bad-there's no boot camp, score board or isolation required. ur either in love or ur not.

REAL LOVE

just watching vh1 soul and they are featuring video from MJB.
is it me or are today's R&B starlets not so brain staining???!
listening to real love, reminisce etc take me back to a time during my youth when i was eager to know what those things were about. she's definitely a major portion of my soundtrack of life. she was right there when i experienced so many crucial things-"ME" shaping things. family road trips to atl, my first kiss, my first sip of cisco, teen parties and loosing my virginity (the first time)! and yes i think it happen in that order! love no limit still triggers a phone call to my first-Raheem Choice in Detroit cuz that was OUR song. and i still love him with no limit (for what it was).LOL
it didn't dawn on me that we(MJB and I) weren't friends until she gave me a slight smile and kept it movin at the MTV awards a couple years ago. i was like what???i just knew she was gonna embrace me and we were gonna chop it up cuz it had been awhile. but she really kept it movin! now, i can LMAO cuz we really don't know each other. but, i really felt like i had known so much of who she was thru her music over the years. and shit...she was right there with me thru it all! we grew up together(in my mind).
she was my go-to for fashion. my muse-my everything. remember the silver wardrobe in be happy? that was one video-yet it was a staple in my existence for an entire year. can u imagine me showing up to chemistry class-silver lip stick, silver combat boots, bubble vest- the works. i went hard. it was severe and sincere all at the same time.
do today's youth get that attachment? i don't think so.
after the "my life" album, i had a brief separation from MJB she was enjoying life and love. and the shit was just hitting the fan for me, so i opted to listen to some other things, darker things that i could relate to. happy for her growth and all, I just had to do me for a while. and even then-i knew she would understand. that was my process of trying to be HAPPY.
seeing her on tv today makes me appreciate her more than ever-not only is she still very relevant, she's still recognizable to her fans (no crazy surgeries and foolywang to date), she's positive and beautiful. a real icon.
so now-a-days when i see her-i just smile to myself-cuz i know we like-THIS! (crossing my two fingers, all strong-in the air). thats my girl-weather she knows it or not!

to be or not to be........

FAT is the question?!


a life long question. sexiness and personality is something innate. either u have it or you don't. Ive got it!-at 125 or 160--I'm told I'm sexy. but i struggle with weather i wanna go balls to the wall and eat till i explode or starve in the name of fashion. i live for small titt, cleavage no-bra showing pieces, covered with an element of surprise fashion options. but, as a size 8-10 those options become very limited. my significant others never complain. in fact it seems that they like me heavier. but i have to admit being/working amongst the rich and beautiful sometimes i feel a tinge of insecurity from a chizzled belly and petite thighs. SOMETIMES!!....cuz my momma said i shine from the inside out.FAIL.
so shall we order exotic cheeses online for the most splendid grill cheese extravaganza or do we eat chicken breast and salad to be healthy and do acrobatics at the next love making fest???????
grill cheeses give warmth and a sense of security but showroom samples are size 4. decisions.
shall i do crunches or trust in my friend Gertrude the Girdle for the next event????
damn homie.

GAGA for the LADY......

kilt it. bang!






lady gaga for UK Vogue

you've got style!.....

thats what ALL the girls say.



this video slays me---so many fashion moments before the song even starts. i remember watching it on mtv as a 4 year old---comprehending the fashion and the concept of dressing up in love.
it's the only way! get into it!

stars are fun

as a matter of fact, too much fun! and now u want one.bye.

my look

the clackers are running around trying to get their looks together for fashion week. here's some of my inspiration.

thinking about him........

no need to write, this song explains it all.

amy whinehouse---tears dry

All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I had to get accustomed to,
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night,
I knew I hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in this grey, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own,

I don't understand,
Why do I stress A man,
When there's so many better things at hand,
We could a never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
A Perspective pushes thru,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

I shouldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's OK,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own,

So we are history,
YOUR shadow covers me
The sky above,
A blaze only that lovers see

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's OK,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own,

I wish I could SAY no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
And as we kiss goodbye the sun sets,
So we are history,
The shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see,

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's OK,
In this blue Shade,
My tears dry on their own,

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's OK,
My deep shade,
My tears dry

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And it's OK,
My deep shade,
My tears dry

morning! hi!

this just gave me everything i needed. i hope it does the same for u. fur and faux fur is gonna be all the rage this winter. get ur closet and ur life in order. BYE.

i wanna do some laughin to!

just woke up and solange tweeted a line from this song. i thought i was the only one. these lyrics are everything!

NOTE TO SELF:

GET OUT THE FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looking smart.

I've never been an intellectual but I have this look.
Woody Allen

usher wearing dsquared. old photo but a timeless look. as they say in london town--i like a smart looking fellow.

hello.

please meet my lover!

wherever my boyfriend is.....this is what he's planning to wear this winter.

its all about the best layers!

please peel with care!

i had a long conversation with my new client and friend Claude Kelly this week. we discussed the disappointment that comes with being put in a box with work and personal endeavors.
people try and smack a label on you so fast. they do it because its easy to comprehend but some individuals were meant to wear many hats and share many talents, its not fair to hold them hostage to one thing---just because its the easy thing to do.
even in my personal observations---men are sometimes accustomed to having many outlets for their different needs but if they sat still long enuff and pulled a few layers back on their favorite person--most times they will find, that's she/he possesses many qualities and vice versa.
life gives u so many lessons and opportunities to learn new things. our upbringing, our education, our relationships, and experiences shape who we are. all these things mold our gifts and talents. no one person is alike and there is often more under the surface.
if they were bright enuff to get ur attention in one area chances are they can WOW you in another.

just because i like young jeezy doesn't mean i cant appreciate nat king cole. just because i have a strong opinion on fashion doesn't mean i don't have one on religion and politics. i dance like a disco queen yet family comes first. I'm a fashion stylist but i could have been an attorney or a member of the mickey mouse club. i love collard greens just as much as sushi. i don't believe in marriage but i do believe in commitment. I'll wear a wig on Tuesday and be all natural by Friday.

don't put me in a box-I'm complex. many layers here.
live outside the box and pick out the good onions to live this life with you.
