Seems like yesterday.....but it was a long time ago. I used to model as a child. This was at a department store called Jacobsons---i took my job so seriously! Lol I was fearless and the crowd loved me. That part I remember for sure!--i wanna know that feeling again-real soon.
Pls pay attention to the stars on the sweater and the shirt collar--who knew?!! Lovin' my fashion and stars even back then!

Finding my Love

I fell in love with cooking again this weekend. My mom is in town and I've been spoiling her with breakfast in bed, lunch and music, dinner and a movie. This was dinner last night. Truffle mac and cheese, lamb chops and garlic asparagus. Sinful!

turned upside down

lots of tings gwan! i did a casting for Oprah's "own show" contest on Saturday. i taped a portion of my EPK on Sunday. I'm packing and moving this week, yet i haven't really started. i did some basic ish on Tues with a client-unexpected and fun.....and went thru the twilight zone today. just left an a-list event with an A-list friend. looked across the room and saw that my home girls life was parallel to mine. CRAZY. I'm fried right now and I'm just getting in the house. CONFUSION.

I've got so much to do--and time is flying by. i gotta stop looking at life and a particular situation with rose color glasses--cuz shit ain't sweet, gotta start treating people accordingly. and really doing me. cant let peoples actions or lack of actions sway me from my focus. enough of that.

right side up---from now on. new beginnings and higher standards NOW. no fear

black barbie

i don't always agree with her fashion or hair. but this chick looks flawless. like, really stunning almost unreal to the touch. is this what money looks like??? i, we as a people must do better in order to attain a glow like thee.

wish i could wear one of these sometimes. there are moments in this life that i have to get things done, say things- i dont wanna say and i just wanna detach myself from it. those are the times when a dope mask would come in handy. incognito fresh- get into it.

this is a good ass video! in real life.

detroits finest!

this was the most popular dance show in detroit during the early 90's called, "the New dance show". it came on from 6-7pm on the weekdays on channel 62. yes, i used to dress like this and yes, i can still do all the dances seen in the videos above. don't judge me.
i was pretty fresh back i day and i used to kill the dance contests at the block parties. who's cousin wanna battle???

HALSTON

"ah, i always thought id be successful, since i was very young. and i always had success, different levels.... but success".

my current source of inspiration at the moment...HALSTON. so simple, so fabulous and timeless. after doing plenty of research on the often unmentioned designer...i now understand my obsession with studio 54, diana ross and "gina" in scarface..... its all about him...his presence was strong in the 70's. its obvious that halston has inspired the masses, everybody from donna karan to lanvin. and we all know i die for lanvin.
I'm so into the make-up, the movement and the sex appeal. check out these nasty soulful struts on the catwalk. i died 3x and came back.

this scene from The Wiz is epic! my bestie Mahogany (aka Adriane jamison) reminded me exactly how fresh it really was and is to this day. its so cool and if u check out the costuming....everybody was full out! shout out to the wardrobe department, that was a shitload of work!

but anyway....this video speaks to trends and if the powers that be change there mind, everybody follows suit. I've always been one to walk to the beat of my drum and the older i get the cautious i become. this is just a reminder to you (and myself) to stay true to who you are and dare to be different. life is short---snatch the tag on that new piece and wear to the grocery store if u wish. set the trend and or step in front of it!

Ballers, studs are good when done tastefully on a video set! Lol Don't be afraid of a good summer scarf, they can add element of style to basic look.

isabel marant spring 2010

the sex was spectacular

I'm not sure i need all the visuals (who's this dude?) but i think this song will go hard in the club. its a good Vegas/dance/party record. I'm sure the UK will appreciate it. everybody seems to be clowning her for it, but i think she's brave...finally being a real cheetah girl!

i styled her back in the day (photo above) and this is actually closer to her personality than anything you've seen before. and I'm not saying she's a slut or actually condones this behavior.....but from what i remember she's always been edgy and out spoken even as a youngster. I'm sure she feels free, finally able to create the stuff she likes. its just entertainment people! if Kylie Monique would have released this same song there would be a media frenzy of another sort. get over it and dance!

i'm kinda busy

these visuals are everything. Gaga has acting skills!! she goes hard. the beginning is

stellar. love B, but i don't believe her. this video would have be epic with rihanna as gaga's

sidekick and Electric Red in the jail cells and dancing scenes. a little ghetto cameo from

nikki minaj would have been dope too. lil kim as a cellmate and queen latifah as the prison

warden??? well i guess that's whole new video. LOL! pardon my imagination.

Fuck YEAH!

My mom just send this in a text message! I love her!!
I wish I would have had this picture yesterday to send to the psycho squirrel that emailed me twice with a bunch of foolishness. So stupid it ended up cracking me up by the time I got to it, just like this picture. "Fuck off!"

one of my BF's posted this on FB and this is just what i needed like 5 years ago as well as today:

Yield to the leading of My Spirit as I reveal more productive ways of dealing with problems and stress. I will open your eyes and your heart to see and receive wisdom before you react or respond. Be quiet and stay flexible, and you will come through difficult situations with greater ease. Be strong, but stay humble, says the Lord. Your success depends on it.

Gotta believe in me a lil more right now

For years-i've forgiven myself for procrastination and chucking it up to "doing things right" and or "making things perfect". When in all actually its the fear of failing and the fear of standing before my peers taking full responsibility of the product and promotion of the product that bares my name. But- I'm getting old---i have no time to really prepare and refine---i just have to use my life knowledge up to this point and "DO".
What has been my problem all these years? What do I have to loose?
I've got to start taking advantage of all the people I've connected with, all the ground I've covered, all the pain I've felt, all the wisdom I've gained and use it to soar.
I'm ready to WIN--and WIN BIG! All of this so far has been really cute. But enough of all that!

DIRTY DANCING

wouldn't it be nice to have some???whatever happen to dancing all close with a special somebody?

just incase u wont be getting your bump and grind on anytime soon or u cant manage to catch it on cable. here are a few of my favorite lines:

"aghhhh, i carried the watermelon"

"u were right johnny-no matter what u do-u cant win!"

"nobody puts baby in the corner"

"you're WILD!"

*RIP mr. swayze u made me a believer early on--in the beauty of a cool male dancer in a hot leather jacket.

what happened?

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

i've seem to have lost my train of thought

u can read those credits....while i figure out what to do next and how to go about making this for myself. its funny because i have a chain jacket in my soon to be collection. i think its rather slick that they called this a necklace instead of a tank. none-the-less i think its dope! and it lets me know I'm on the right page with this fashion thing

watch out for those Stars....

.....they'll kill you and break your heart in the process.

-unconditional

i love the designer---had him in my bed once(long story)as a matter of fact it was him and polly fey and a jazzy chocolate chic -i like to call Mahogany! sounds more shady than it actually was, but run with it if u must! strange things happen in Cali!

i love the tattooed stars on a sweater--i go hard for fresh layers anyway. I'm sold!

throw back

i did this image for a michigan based mag, like 4 years ago....kinda dope---good styling is good styling! it never goes out of style.

the Love and War Masterpeace!

its in stores now. please go and get it. i feel so happy and proud to apart of the movement that is raheem devaughn. he works tirelessly, recording, giving back to the community and honing his craft, so musically inclined and dedicated to to making feel good music and touching your soul. we've known each other for about 6 years now, i met him when i was the assistant stylist on his project- we clicked. we both recognized and respected the under Dog in each other. he promised me when he got a budget that he would hire me as his key stylist and he did, for that i will forever be loyal to him as a stylist and friend. he so talented and deserves to win BIG.....i believe his name will rest comfortably amongst Aretha, Anita, miles davis, Marvin Gaye and Luther---he's a classic act and u need to be familiar. cop the album, you'll love it!

but baby its cold outside.....

this is usher 2010 olympic performance. cold! this is what ive been up to the last few days--feel like i could sleep for a week at this point. very hectic gig-pleasant outcome. stay tuned.
