Busy!

I have been busy as a mutha these last few weeks! It has been non stop since the week before labor day  when school started. I was rather dissapointed that school started before labor day instead of after, but it is what it is. I will be back over the weekeknd to give my fashion week report. I would have done it last week, which was fashion week, but I had soo much homework to do and catch up on it's not even funny and since Parsons school of design is more expensive than Harvard, there is now way in HEYELL I plan to fail any of my classes. I'm busting my a** to get caught up and even get ahead so I can have a little bit of a life.



This is a drawing I did yesterday in my life drawing class only this was not a life darwing. This was a pose fro a picture in a magazine and I got creative witht hte outfit. I'm going to do another drawing using one of my original design concepts as I forgot to bring them for the class as I was  suppose too yesterday. I'm really liking the class as I love to draw and my teacher( Glen Hilario) is an excellent illustrator. He showed us some of his work yesterday and I was simply drooling in awe. I was so inspired. I look forward to going back to doing something that I love more often and got away from when I was working full-time. I was so caught  up in the rat race I let myself get away from something that brings me joy and relaxes me. I also realized I can make money doing this, so I have great incentive to get better, not just for my grade, although i do want to get an "A" for the class!

Last week my friend Adrian, flew in from Texas for the weekend. We went for a walk after a late lunch and came upon Whoopie Goldberg standing outside of Madame Tussaud's, lol!

You never know who you will see at any given time in and around NYC. Earlier this evening I was standing on the corner of 81st and Broadway having a long(two hour!) conversation with my friends Lauren and Yoni, when Yoni see Alec Baldwin coming out of the Starbucks!!! He was in a grey suit, he's on the chunky, but not fat side and rather handsome in person. I was slow whipping out my camera so I didn't get a picture(DAYUM!). I don't know what the hell my problem was because Alec was walking on the slow side. He walked by us and across the street to a waiting car. I remember the three didgits og the liscense, but I'm not going to post it. I am going to play that number in the pick three numbers lottery!

Eye Candy!

I'm so late with the eye candy for this month and I was going to wait until I got back to NYC to post this, but I figured I should just post it while it was on my mind. I'm in MD with my family for the Labor Day weekend and in the area where my family lives has the worst internet EVER!!!! Even Verizon doesn't get dsl in the area! What the hay-yell?!?!?

 Anyway, this months eye candy is a little asian persuasion I found trolling some model agency sites. I really should find out exactly which one to give credit for the pic(oops!). I'll add it later, but any way this is Mikael Kroeber in all his finest. I love a guy with a tight body, don't you?

Fashion/Art on the Sidewalk

This exhibition prominently displayed down Broadway sponsored by The Fashion Center was put up last month. I was in midtown for orientation for school (which I was so late for and missed!) and  passed this on my way to another meeting so I stopped to take a few pictures.

These are along the pedestrian area between 40th and 41st streets on Broadway. When I get a chance I may walk down Broadway and have a look at all the other mannequins on display.

Target Kaleidoscopic Spectacular

I did a freelance job for two days for Targets fall collection. I was expecting the traditomal fashion, models walk down the runway, pose and walk back. Boy was I wrong. I underestimated the spectacular part. They did a whole big a$$ production in The Standard Hotel down in the meat packing district on 14/13th street near 10th avenue. The rented out, I believe all the rooms on the south side of the hotel and most of the north ide for the executives. I was in room 1015working with the dancers, shout out to Kaitlyn, John, Taylor and Lauren! Seeing it on the iside was one thing, but seeing it from the outside was something else!I had to watch several videos and I thought this one had the best perspective and it was really clear, but he edited at least five or six minutes out, but you see most of the show. I can even make out Taylor and Lauren during the green segment at 3:13! They are directly across from the green lit room on the left of that solid black line, above the room that isn't lit! I was in the bathroom turning on the led lights for the last segment,which Lauren was dancing.

There was some controversy as Target has been accused of giving money to some anti-gay, right-wing republican in Minnesota who's running for govenor. There were protesters out and about and you will be able to see a sign pass in front of the camera a couple of times and here them shouting "shame" until the music drowns them out. I haven't shopped in Target in a few months, mostly because I didn't have much money to spend there or anywhere else, but I will gladly except money from Target  through the company I freelance for. A sista has bills to pay! I will however, not spend my money at Target until they stop supporting extreme politicians and that goes for any company giving donations this election season.


Shout out to my friend Ayaba for coming out to see it! Sorry it was last minute, but glad you enjoyed it!


* Just a side note, this should have been posted yesterday as the show took place the day before on 8/18, but the video wouldn't load properly. Hey, I'm new at this, LOL!

I Met Someone From the Movie The Secret!

If you know the movie The Secret, then you may remember Lisa Nichols who was featured in the revised version. A church friend invited me to a presentation last week and informed me that Ms Nichols would be speaking that night. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see her and I'm glad I went. She is a very dynamic and empowering speaker.

Deja vu!

I was in Fort Tryon Park today doing exactly what I did last week; enjoying the lovely weather and reading and I looked over my shoulder and there was another wedding taking place! I couldn't hear the ceremony as well as last week so I don't know the happy couples name, but congratulations to them just the same!

Eye Candy!

Ahhhhhh, David Gandy. My eyes tear up at how beautiful he is. And he's British! I'm ever so slightly obsessed with him.

Mmmm mmm!
