I think I'm going to start rocking my minnie mouse ears more often. I'm serious. I love them so much. They're fun to wear, so I might as well. It would be a sight to see me 9 months preggers wearing minnie mouse ears.
I'm being random today bc I haven't really blogged much lately. deal with it. :)
I forgot how dope this video is:
So, I'm not huge on maternity clothes, but Target Maternity is soooooo adorable. I plan on only wearing dresses this summer because they're the most comfortable and I know I'll be uncomfortable quite a bit when I get further along in my pregnancy. I already over heat more than normal. Long, flowy dresses will be perfect for this summer for me. Their bathing suits are adorable too.
One thing that blows chunks, is I won't really be able to shop at karmaloop.com for the next 8 months. wish they had a maternity or plus size section so i could still rock my style. They finally got nike up there too!
if you wanna shop there, use my rep code at checkout for 20% off rep code: JN31115
and lastly here is my dance party song for the day:
.calm down my heart don't beat so fast don't be afraid just once in a lifetime no rain can wash away my tears no wind can soothe my pain you made me doubt, you made me fear but now i'm not the same you took my wife, my unborn son torn into the deep of the ocean i don't pretend that i love you cause there is nothing left to lose.
This song brings back such amazing memories from when I lived in Florida in 2004. <3
I've been on such a writing kick lately, which is great because I was suffering from writer's block for what felt like years. I mean, every once in awhile, i'd write something ill, but it was like once every few months. I dunno what inspired me, but I've been writing every day and I'll probably share some stuff on here when I get the balls to. I actually already have, but I'm not telling where. Lot's of private and disturbing stuff, but it's art to me. I would not be able to function if I couldn't write anymore, and it was pissing me off so hard when I had the writer's block. It's probably because I've been recording so much music lately, and also because I'm feeling so wonderful... yes, still.
I'm looking for a second job still, because my job is very unreliable. They'll randomly need me, and then won't need me for a week, so it's obnoxious. East West opened up in h-ton village, i may apply there. frankie and i checked it out over the weekend, and i'm liking it. we'll see what happens. if anyone knows of anywhere hiring, please do tell. preferably anything to do with makeup art, salon receptionist, or retail. tankies kindly.
This song has been in my head all day for some reason, and I have no idea why because I don't think I've listened to it in months... nevertheless, it's a goodie.
I need to start dancing a lot again. It really is my number one love and what I'm best at. I've started taking my girl's belly dancing class, which is amazing, but I can't always get there. I used to choreograph ballet, lyrical, and hiphop, so maybe I'll just dedicate at least 4 hrs a week to doing that. Plus, I'd love to lose this extra weight I gained over the winter. I do wii fit, and my boyf and I go for walks when it's nice, so that will help. But yeah, I need to get back into some dance company or something. Another reason why it sucks to live on long island again, so much more opportunity in the city for the things i love. must move back in the next 2 years. but i honestly feel the most amazing when I'm dancing. I'm so passionate about it. I need this shirt:
so, i haven't had a phone in over a week. it just decided to stop working over easter weekend. my phone is pretty new too. i had the G1. what ended up happening is my sim card somehow got damaged. so i gave it to my boyfriend since he had a shitty old dinosaur for a phone. now they're sending me the brand new Samsung Behold II for free! I know it's lame to get excited over a cell phone, but I just feel so out of the loop. The hiatus was good though. I should take a hiatus from the internet too.
and lastly, here are some things that I'm lusting after...
Calourette Jewelry
I despise wearing brown, but I want this Emma Cook for Opening Ceremony dress... mostly because I love owls.
Shrek for OPI (so effing cute)
This romper from Obey's summer 2010 collection:
these are crazy, but i adore Jeremy Scott's work!... Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals Mickey Hi Sneaks:
I'm not quite sure why I titled this blog as that, but hey, it works for me.
First thing's first. Go peep the new track that I put up on my myspace music page. link: Birdie's Music. The new song is called "Jack Frost", featuring my boyf Frankie Gray (FG), and PCU members Password, Struggle, and Sevo... with me singing the hooks. I think this track is fiyah. Do not sleep.
I can't wait for tomorrow night because I'm going to be taking my girl Tara's belly dancing class. If you know me, you know I grew up as a trained dancer and it's my favorite thing in the world. I haven't taken a dance class in months, and belly dancing is definitely going to put me in a wonderful mood. I've been missing ballet class like what. I should get out to B'Way Dance Center and take a few classes. I would like to at least take one class a week. I used to take classes 5 days a week, way back when. I don't know why I went on hiatus. Anyway, I'm so stoked for tomorrow's class.
The beautiful Tara... who is also my hair stylist :)
Not like this hasn't happened before, but this song has been in my head all day...
I love pretty much anything and everything MF Doom is a part of. He's definitely legendary.
So, I've decided that I need to start upping my jewelry game. I used to wear a lot of costume jewelry, but the past few years, I only wear jewelry once in a blue. And also, most of the pieces I like are ridiculous and look like an 8 year old should be wearing them... oh well. I was browsing the jewelry section on Karmaloop and I need these pieces:
if you wanna shop at karmaloop, don't forget to use my rep code at checkout for 20% off... good on sale items too. lot's of new spring/summer stuff coming in too.
also, don't forget April 8, the infamous Rakim at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale. My boyfriend is opening! so exciting.
lemme brag for a minute and talk about how i was in Slaughterhouse's video of "The One". It ain't no thang. You only see me for like 3 seconds, but you see me. passed out on the deck with Werdplay (thanks homey), rockin my fire engine hair. See me at 1 minute and 19 seconds, right after Royce's verse. I'm in the background a couple times too. can't miss the hair.
fun shit. Joell Ortiz is a funny dude, and I'm sorry, but Joe Budden can get it!
How amazing is Mikhail Baryishknikov? He's always been one of my greatest influences. At one point in my life, it was my dream to be in the New York City Ballet, but then I got really curvy. You have to look emaciated to be taken seriously as a ballerina. I used to take class almost everyday and was taught by very well known ballet instructors. I should have stuck with it, one of my very few regrets. I need to go to a ballet asap. I always cry during them. haha. Nah, but seriously, ballet is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Some people think it's lame, but if you've ever been to a real ballet, it is truly moving! It takes an amazing amount of strength and training and it's almost a way of life! One of my greatest loves ever!
"Raise your daughters to shout, to scream, to hold their heads up high for being themselves before society tries to teach them how to silence themselves, how to wear shame like it is a second skin. Let them taste rebellion from the moment they are born and watch them become flames to start a revolution.” ~ Nikita Gill
