july fourth photos

had a nice, relaxing 4th of july this year. Our friends Jay and Felicia came over with their baby Jayla. It was a good day, for sure. I love Jayla, she is the cutest! we had her in the hot tub (we keep it on the cooler side, so it only feels like a warm pool. i can go in too!)... she was too adorable. makes me want a girl even more now. i have that feeling, anyway. Frankie says he has a feeling it's going to be a boy, but that's only because he wants a boy more. ha.

flicks:



beginning of the day, not looking so tired yet


Jayla, making my favorite ducky face


me and my boo (he looks so much better with his hair short mwahahaha)


Jayla getting splash happy (damn u can really see pregnancy weight on me lol)


with my Felicia! i was about to pass out by this point


okay, i found my post baby inspirational picture...
Frankie found this pic of me online the other day. It's from 08, from the Fresh Art/Hiphop show at Painters. i looked so good!

Happy Thursday!

I love this photo.


I'm in an exceptionally good, no great mood today! I'm not exactly sure why. Just woke up feeling lovely. The weather is a big help, except for that disgusting rain the other day. But, everything in my life is going so well. I'm so happy. I'm so grateful for everything that I have. I know, it's strange to see me being ridiculously positive! Get used to it.

Today is day 3 of being a non-smoker. It's really difficult, but the patch is definitely helping and the butt load of sugar free candy i purchased too. I'm really hoping that I can stick with this. The main reason is for my singing voice. I want it to stay strong, and maybe even get stronger than it is. Hopefully works out well.


I want one of these:



I remember my great grandmother (I think) having this when I was little, and I always wanted it. I think hers had googly eyes though. Maybe I can track it down, or find one at the thrift store.


I feel like being crafty today.
I'm either going to paint, acid wash some shirts, write, or take some photos. I need to do something creative, or I'll go nuts.
I wrote a long rhyme last night, that I think came out really well. I may wanna turn it into a trip-hop (think Portishead) type song. Or I'm going to rap. I can rap, I know most of you are probably like, "is this broad serious?" haha. But yeah I can definitely spit, so stay tuned.

I'll be recording tonight, as well. Jumping on a track with my boo and the PCU.
loving all the music we're making!

in the mood: all things Acid Wash

saw these Vans on Karmaloop...


and they're totally making me in the mood to DIY some of my clothes in acid wash. it's not too difficult at all, and makes them one of a kind.

Think I'll try to conquer this tonight.

I desperately need to get this tattoo finished.



I got it in 05, as a tribute to my favorite artist, Jeff Soto.
He does amazing work.

girl on girl: Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny"

I absolutely adore Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny". She's so cute and funny. She's actually the reason I bleached the one side of my hair. Her style in this movie is so trashy chic lol. Fashion inspiration whatwhat. Expect me to borrow this style every so often.






I love how early 90s her outfits are. so good.

girl on girl: Dessa Darling (of Doomtree)

she is ridiculously talented!
how cute is she?





She's definitely a huge inspiration to me, and what I want to do with my music.
Her & Amanda Blank inspire me on the regular.

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!

nothing short of beautiful

I've blogged about this in an earlier blog I had, but, I absolutely love Clara Bow.



She exudes beauty in every way. She was one of the greatest silent film actresses. I think fashion should totally take a turn for this look. I think I might. I mean, in some ways, it definitely has. The over sized bows and what not. I really think I would love breaking out this look every now and then. I've got the hair and the bug eyes to pull it off mwahaha.
