Blame It On Vanity





If you were created, put together, thought up by Prince then you're the shit- embrace it!!!!! Why do people do this....UGH!!!! If it wasn't for your past you wouldn't have this book -which was written, graphically designed, published & distributed entirely by her, Denise Matthews. I might have to spend some time in Borders reading a bit of this- try to get a better understanding.......on her website www.blameitonvanity.com she made reference to the devil waiting patiently for the reading of her obituary- damn =/
I'm still Team Prince......and Apollonia!!!!

Hazel Dooney

The Artist
There's something about a polaroid <3





Don't fcuk with her!!!


I came across her in a magazine and had to come home and look up her work. I kept it clean, but a lot of her work is sex, sexuality, sex, and sexuality.

Spike Lee's Documentary on Kobe Bryant


So, I got to check out Spike Lee's latest film/project on so many people's fav, Kobe Bryant. For all that know me, I am no Laker fan!!!!! Kobe has major skills on the court, but I just don't like him- call me a hater if you want. With my dislike for him & his team, I still accepted my invite to go...I like Nike's viewing parties, plus it's Spike Lee's work -which I like. Well...........not this time. For real....not being a hater- this doc was boring & dumb. I canNOT believe it was a replay of the Lakers playing San Antonio with Kobe commentating. That was it...nothing more....the end!!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Honey Downtown


Another one of my favs are back (seriously, LA in the summer is where it's at)! Sun, pool, drinks, food, good music and yo folks...what else do you need? Enjoy this before it gets Hollywood and tries charging...that's when it's a wrap for me LOL!
Hating cause I can't go-

They're Back...The Do-Over!!!

Summer's in LA are the sh!t and The Do-Over keeps my expectations high!! It's small, it's hella chill, the folks are cool, the dj's are dope, it stays packed, and it gives everyone the excuse for being tipsy, glossy eye, toe tapping, borderline drunk with all the right reasons.

Let's do it over again & again!

Intro...Is This Mic On

Ok- back at this again....solo this time, but still working with the same beat!!!!! I'm no writer- I usually never complete a sentence (in writing), and ... is my fav, most over-used punctuation.....so get used to it =}
What you will find here is whatever I'm feeling - that's the point of this, right?! Pix/Fashion/Style/Life/Opinions/Facts/Parties/Shopping....you get it. I'm a little all over the place, but I'm surrounded and inspired by creative sh!t/people. Took a slight back seat in wardrobe styling, still have lessons to take for my photography, and will soon be enrolling in sewing classes. Forget 'Where's Waldo'...Where's Shelly?...back up in this bootch...for now....let's see where it takes me <3

Allow me to re-introduce myself....
