Light.

Ignite.

Smoke

Unite.

live this life with clouds of realization possessed by undying lies that self destruct

and reconstruct perfection.

Embodying the same evolution consistently ignored and stepped on with strained inspirations

Hippie central and ambition driven individualistic ideas of success

Dingy emotionless corners contribute doubt and black scars of deprivation

We sit and huddle

like a tribe of potential

inhaling and exhaling our biggest goals

Afraid of the brilliance we may one day become

or fail to ever succeed to

Stepping out into the unknown and realizing the unknown is known as the unforgiving ever changing world society runs as a rat race

Smoking ourselves into a coma of numbness

Breathing in life and suffocating our wildest dreams

Only to float back unwillingly into the real world naked, cold and blunt

Tugging at the last remnants of a high that is portionally supplied.

I realized in New York I had a passion for all of my creative projects, even writing. It flowed off my pen, colors and patterns screamed at me to mismatch them and jewelry could always be worn a different way out of different materials. Getting dressed in the morning was a never ending photo shoot of what to wear, what my options were and what I could wear differently. Upon exiting the school days of mandatory uniform I extended myself into a world of style and expressing myself through any creative way possible. It can only be a blessing that my passion of creativity and expressing myself to the world through fashion and journalism is as natural as can be. I don't have to ride the spotlight in fact in my later years of high school and college I shied away from it. Now it seems only right to seize the opportunities thrown my way and make money doing what I love!

My Christmas list has only 7 treats on it.

Though I haven't made a list in the past couple of years because no one feels like...

hmm actually I don't know why...

So lets blame this one the economy*

However, I'm really hopeful for this year.

I love Overdoz.s' hypnotic sounds, the message is trifling but true. How do you defer the real from the realNEEDY?

A few snaps of a recent photoshoot

Model: Courtney Butler

Photgrapher: Kenneth Doyle

Stylist: Quis Guthrie

Jewelry: Nik_gold*

Had fun working with my favorite Courtney!

Look forward to Part 2...

I love me some lions, tigers and bears.

Oh my.

And even when it rains out

My heart shines brightly

The milks gone bad

But the bees are still out

Where's the honey

Something sweet when your sour

The last thought of the hour

Reenacting the same scene every night

I love you always

But always ends tonight

Some behind the scenes

It was a pleasure working with everyone on set, didn't even know the photo shoot went over time!

Looking forward for the releasing of the pictures.

One of my favorite genres of music. Though it has it's ups and downs this generation has proved to be an ever changing dynamic sound on its own. From Dr. Dre's prodigy Kendrick Lamar, under the radar and above the hype Curren$y, to Yelawolf, BIG K.R.I.T and Odd Future, rap is always and forever progressing.

Nice visuals.

The struggle, Poetry spoken.

Played this song out.
