hAPPY biRfDAY sasha! [even though it was yesterday--oops]

so apparently, i'm condoning my little cousin's truancy. she has a tendency to call me at 8am to ask if she can come over, instead of taking her ass to school. and like an ass, i let her. she came over yesterday with her friend beyonka. i swear, if it was any other friend, i would've put her ass out. i don't like her friends. these little sixteen year old bitches get on my nerves. beyonka's just adorable. she braided my whole head in box braids as i fell asleep.

i'm exhausted. i don't know why i'm so tired lately. [no i'm not pregnant, so shut the fuck up]

model rehearsal for the eco envy show kicks off on monday. i can't wait to put these bitches to work.

classes start on tuesday. the schedule's nasty. tuesdays and thursdays will definitely be the worst days of the week for me:

principles of science lab 8-9:40 am [only on tuesdays]

textiles 10-11:40 am

fashion buying 2:30-3:45 pm

principles of science 4:30-5:45 pm

college algebra/trig 6-7:40 pm

*sidebar: i'm definitely not going to class on my birthday. fuck outt heree.

there's nothing much to blog about today, for my days have been pretty event-less.

new playlist. something completely different. enjoy =]

i leave you with this amazing pic. moments like this make me actually want to have a family.

i cry a lot. i'm a really emotional person--especially when things really stick to me. i cried on saturday, cried a lot on sunday, and i probably cried about twice in the week before.

i just have a lot going through my head about daddy and other people, and how it would be if i suddenly lost them.

i said i wasn't going to cry on monday, and i didnt.
i said i wasn't going to cry on yesterday, and i didnt.
i'm not going to cry today.

obama's our president, good morning world . .

hAPPY biRfdAY martin luther king jr. today will be spent doing absolutely nothing. birthdays are meant to relax--even if it's not my own. eating, watching every show i can find online, talking to sidney when he has a break, drawing, eating some more maybe?

last friday, shanice had the little munchkin! andre avery spaulding jr.



daddy might be going back to barbados. i'm a bit depressed. there aren't many influential men in my life. it's always been my godfather, daddy, the boyfriend, and the best friend. poppy died when i turned nineteen and travis and i are kinda shakey. when daddy goes, sid's left. i just have a lot to deal with, i guess.

boogie finally hit the jackpot with the adi shoots and ladders. an epic moment in wooster history.

sid and i finally went on our first date. it was so cute the way it happened. when he first asked me out, he said he was taking me to soy, then we'd go to the bakery around the corner for red velvet cupcakes. so monday night, i met him at the studio and while we were walking to the train and he asked if i was hungry and wanted to go to soy. we ate, drank, and got the mean case of the itis. then he looks up at me and asks if i want red velvet cake. i swear i couldn't stop smiling. i blushed like crazy. the bakery was closed, but our first date was amazing. it's funny how obsessed i was with finding something to wear, and i ended up wearing an oversized american apparel tee, chucks, my hair was in a bun, and i had on no make-up. but none the less, he thinks i'm g o r g e o u s . . .

this is a quickie. i really need to get back to studying...

hAPPY biRfDAY miLLzie..


i painted my nails black. i've been doing the naked nails thing for some time for shoots, but the black is back.


emi sent me a few pics from the shoot. i swear i'd fuck myself if i could. they're amazing.



i finally heard that my president is black song at the AKA show. i know i'm late. i just never got around to downloading it. for as long as i can remember, there's been talk about mrs. michelle obama and her wardrobe. she's pretty damn fly for a first lady. the inaugural ball is about a month away, and every designer was in on it. someone put me on to these:

badgley mischka

diane von furstenberg

michael kors

nicole miller

peter som

tracey reese

chanel

betsey johnson

rodarte

marc jacobs

isaac mizrahi

christian lacroix

bonnie toung surely added some flare for little sasha and malia:

finals. shoot me.

• intro to art of africa on tuesday december 16th
• fashion merchandising planning and control on december 17th
• fashion merchandising on december 23rd
• principles of supervision on december 23rd

you'd think i'd be taking a vacation after all of this, but no. i have to work on my portfolio for pratt and sva, friday meetings for the eco envy show, shoots with slinky, el, and who ever else i book, and of course, work.

my parents are leaving on thursday; barbados for two weeks. happy anniversary to them. naquan's coming over that night--and only that night. thanks the fuck a lot, roxanne. my darling cousin decides to stay at my house this time, when every other time she's come up to new york, she's been at her mother's. fuckery. pure fuckery.

nippy lavern show at temptations on saturday. ghetto as hell? maybe, but it will be the most entertaining aspect of my life right about now. this is when the yo-yo diet starts.

back to studying...

tonight, we made history. we have our first black presiden, mr. barack obama.

this is the first election i've voted in, and i really do feel that i've voted for a change. my vote really did count. with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, the world seems so much brighter now.

this is a spin off of eL's politically correct post:

paul budnitz is the best: more obama-ness. vote for change.
