its been a long time!

if anybody is reading this......I've been on a crazy adventure that i plan on posting really soon. i have to figure out the best way to share all this content that has been my life. Hi's, lows, blood sweat and a river full of tears- but work none the less. so come back and check on me soon as i take u on a ride of the last 6 months of my life as a stylist and designer.

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.
beyonce knowles carter at president Obama's State dinner. WOW!
Diana Ross of our time--check her resume.

OMG!

what's ur DRUG of choice.....

it could be shopping, sex, a boy, a girl or one of the other reality altering substances above. anyway they all are hard to kick once ur addicted. I've never abused (key word ABUSED) any street drugs--don't really like the idea of not being in control, but i tend to fixate on sushi, jr cricketts and particular person of the opposite sex every now and then. and when it hits me, it hits me hard. so I'm tryng my best to kick a certain habit and BAMB!, here it comes. it seems like once u get your "90 days clean coin". ur drug of choice comes out the new year, i mean the wood works to haunt/tempt you. leave me alone already, I'm trying to stay clean, damn it!
just say NO!

sexy.

so hood, yet so "executively correct". respected, cool and quick witted. new styling....hints of high end fashion with fit and silhoette. alternative inspiration, and obviously cultured and still willing to seek more. confidence and numbers to back it up. living legend. trendsetter, taste-maker, a mans man. dont tell him i said it.

countdown!

new hair in 24 hours. catch a feeling and get a clue. this is where i'm headed. literally.

before and after the master cleanse

BANG!

bake bean footage?---pls have some!

in all of my swollen glory-i present to u my latest endeavor, concrete and cashmere. its a show similar to the real world + fashion design and style. get into it! i was one of 8, no 6 contestants competing for a small change purse and package of promise. i spent an entire month living and creating in a new environment and i have to say the experience gave me what i needed. i needed to be refueled, reassured and reimbursed for some of the gigs i never got paid for while paying dues in this game of fashion. so i decided to do the show and now id like to share it with the world. tune in to: www.concreteandcashmere.com  and see some of that (PORK AND)bake bean footage i serve----that is gonna eventually pave my way to a plentiful purse.

FYI.....the past is the past, please understand that i am sunken in cheekbones, popping major collar bone and loving it right now! everybody loves a fat girl in the movies but not in real life! bye.----forward all my mail to slimville. thanks!

Concrete and cashmere

this is the show i'm on. thats me with the missy elliot hair. FAIL! 

anyway, the last challenge will be presented today. shall the best person win?----ABSOLUTELY! i'll keep u posted. updates coming soon.

an alize rep asked me the other day, if i would do anything to win? absolutely not! was she serious? do i look like "new york pallard"? i dont think so-this is not flavor of love and i would never sign up and participate in any such coonery.

i have a gift, several talents and the ability to speak well about things im familiar with and even not so familiar with. that speaks volumes. im the same on camera and off. im NEVER gonna play myself! but i AM here to compete and WIN.

i'll keep u posted.

no photographs please!

what do i have to do to get a little privacy? this photo was taken two years ago but someone decided to use it today.

 i swear that forehead shine and Oprah arm is gonna take me straight to Hollywood. damn the paparazzi. why wont they just let me be great?

thanks to my two unknown friends-they shielded me-totally blocked the paps from getting the bake bean footage they really wanted.

thank god for good friends and quick instincts. i wonder who tipped the paps off in the first place? how'd they know I'd be there that day? so scary.

LMAO!!!

......i'm a fucking rock star......

so, i went to the spotted pig in the east village in celebration of Miss Carline Balan's bday. i sipped champagne with Melissa victor and had a lil' girl talk. I'm sure she's still trying to figure out who my secret crush is-right now. i told her i would share that on an upcoming trip to Paris.

i danced and danced and danced--a good time indeed! it was a cool intimate crowd and it was a blast watching Carline have good time. for those of you that know miss Carline----mama don't take no mess and she's usually strictly business.

i met DRAKE last night. totally cool dude. he walked right up to me and said--"i don't think we met, my name is Drake." and before i knew it, i was running my mouth telling him how happy i am for him and what a fresh breathe of air i think he is. he was so gracious. and that's exactly why he's gonna win. shout out to Drake and his entire movement. his hustle is severe and the results were already written.

ahhhhhh- i also met rihanna. we have been in the same room-and at the same events but never officially met. she's everything i expected. she walks up to me on the dance floor and says in her Barbados accent, "ur hair cut is so fucking fly, bitch!" and i said--this is just hair-YOU make me a lesbian. we laughed and our peacock styled hair jerked around in the air to let everybody else know it. i said, I'm not really gay and i hope i didn't offend u- I'm Brea. she said nice to meet u--i don't get offended, I'm a fucking rock star!

a girl after my own heart! a rock star in deed!

so needless to say- i got home at 3 and went to sleep at 6 cuz I'm a fuckin rock star too.
