Hmmmm...


recently i was asked to perform at a
haiti fundraiser
i thought what an excellent idea...
being the procrastinator that i am (unfortunately)
i waited until the day before to start practicing my performance
...
not a good look
...
i'm not saying that i bombed my performance
but due to a few loud persons
that composed the crowd, i almost burst out laughing
...
again, not a good look
...
one of the cool things is that
i got to wear one of my favorite dresses
again
i had previously worn it a the
congolese black history show
at ottawa u
and it's a little one shouldered number
with an african patterned skirt that
i loove!
it's one of my designs that i made
with the help of my mother

(ps. i miss brihn)
...
or should i say that she made with my help?
anyways
...
i got a lot of love about this dress and it got me thinking
that i keep designing all these clothes that i love myself
to wear them, myself, i should start sharing this
with the world
i had previously been thinking of starting my own
summer company where i
would design clothes and sell them
through an online boutique
but then i realized that i
hadn't done enough research to make all of that possible
and so i had settled for just learning how to sew
and leaving life open for future endeavours
...
but knowing myself i can't just sit there and do nothing
so i've been buying patterns
looking at fabrics
buying style books (vintage, no less)
again, checking out fabrics
...
i've finally made the decision
to make no decision and let God decide
i've gotten to the point in my life where
i feel as though i know nothing
God gave me talents and whatever He decides that
i need to be doing with these talents i will do

God bless my dudes!

My sincere apologies...

Wow guys i'm deeply sorry for the turmoil that i have
put all of you through!
i mean i haven't posted anything in over a month
that should be illegal, i mean i have a civic and
moral
duty to all of you that should be upheld with such standard.
but
it seems that i have failed in doing so, therefore
i offer you my heartfelt apologies...

from the heart people.

since i'm back, let's get to it
what is new since the last time i posted...
well i cut my hair more?
last time i talked about my hair i mentioned that
i wasn't getting my hair buzzed cuz i was enjoying my perm too much
well i buzzed it
just the sides of course meaning that now i have a freakishly amazing
mohawk.
i know, i'm awesome
can't be duplicated, only imitated

can't show you any pictures of this hair
for fear that yous guys may be blinded by its awesomeness
lol
i'm wearing one of gwen's dresses from clothing line
it was in the fashion show
(that i haven't mentioned...yet!)

y'all can kind of see the new do from here

what else is new since i've been gone? hmm...

well i've been going back to my '80s tunes
listening to some tears for fears
new order
i'm telling you.. they don't make music like that no more
until i get on the scene... hehe bring the '80s back, the right way!

spring is in the air... and on the weather network
so our pants are getting shorter and shorter
t-shirt and getting brighter and brighter along with our makeup bags!
Suzette Haywood of SynSu Salon located in the heart of Ottawa is
getting ready to release her makeup collection
that rivals the likes of fashion fair and iman,
colours for women of colour
everyone has a colour... and so she's got you covered for sure


just thought i put that little advertisement on there
i mean she's my hairdresser and her makeup is off the chain!
i've been looking for a lipstick colour to wear for like ever
and in one try i found it there.. like hello!
gotta get it :)

now for some fashion review..
i know fashion week was a while ago but i like to procrastinate
sooo deal with it!

sorry buddy i'm sure you thought you were sooo clever when you came up with this dress but people have been wearing this for centuries in somalia.. they even wear it here in ottawa, i'm not somalian but i'm pretty sure i have one.

there rest of the line is very easy going and flowy
says, '' i can eat a whole bunch of food and it wouldn't show
but i wont 'cause i'm a model and who's heard of such
a thing
as a non-anorexic model... like HELLO''
(unless you're naturally that skinny of course..
if that's the
case then i'm not hating)
-- sorry for the disclamer --

here are a couple hits from his line:



that's it for now..
