And it's still everything.

I think there are enough pictures of me on here but I wanted to describe my Ombre hair!
I recently died my hair into a cute Ombre look
Ombre: multi-colored hair variation, transitioning from roots to ends.
I had fun doing it on my own because 1. they don't sell this weave in stores yet and 2. I love learning how to do new things!
The end result was similar to the picture above I even changed it up and wore it with bangs.
It is a common trend among Caucasians when the blonde touch ups simply grow out over time, slowly but surely more people tried it including Teyana Taylor (who inspired me and wore colors like blue and green on the tips but I have a job or two I'd like to keep =/) and now everybody is trying it!
FYI, they should start selling it in stores soon.
I fell in love with this look =)
Frank Ocean was unknown to many at the beginning of this year. In February his mixtape Nostalgia,Ultra was passed around like pipping hot HPV, no seriously everyone heard of Frank O, then his cosigning on Watch The Throne and features with fellow weirdo, Tyler the Creator? People knew he was a star on the rise. His first video to Novocane was an utter and complete tease with a little bit of this, little bit of that and he decided to follow it with this one?
I know Frank Ocean is a different individual on the edge of creativity, steady pushing the boundaries. However, there is a difference between capturing the audiences' attention and trying too hard to hold onto the new hotness. This right here... is NOT the new hotness. It's just a random video with type C iPhone videography, the staple Panda hat (sort of cute), an ugly orange stretch limo, Ninja Ocean and images a this "her". There are so many ways he could have taken this video so it could have been a hit instead of a distant splash, so many lines that could have been drawn so gracefully but weren't...
Blah.
Still love you though.

My Page Needed Some Substance
The silence pierces my ears
Dripping ice cold acid steady burning rapid holes through my dreams
Every second stabs and drags as long as an hour, days in a minute
One tear follows another like a daughter hates to yet inevitably follows the footsteps of her hesitant mother
Trickling down never easily or steadily
Nothing but everything is sooner never later evolved
As the murderous quietness flickers on
Static emotions burn blue through my lips
Words ice over
frost bitten feelings and still frozen memories
Permanently searing and scarring
the ever rising sunset nearly escaping the sizzle of my skin
Renewing and revitalizing my loins.
But it's the cool breeze moon that greets me
Quiet and solemn
Yet shining bright as the fear at midnight
Appreciating the gesture
I start to howl
Waiting on the sun to join in a couple of minute days
I didn't get to go through my whole shoe collection but I came across my favorite three suede shoes. Not including my cheetah wedges from my previous post.
One is my recently refurbished blue suede pump, my suede winter boots with warm insides* and my newest purchase my 70's red suede platform that I absolutely loveeeee! Just to think a couple of months ago I was thinking of selling all my shoes, banished from wearing heels ever again and now I'm already planning some photoshoots and extending my shoe collection like I never stopped.
Trick or Treats?
I don't usually dress up for Halloween, in fact I never trick or treated as a child. The occasional church party where I dressed up as Mary from the bible was the thing to do instead. I was rather excited this year having parties to go to where I could be anything! The basic route of a cheetah, Nicki Minaj or a cop was out of the question. I got a chance to have two halloweens because work also let us dress up so in all I had fun Halloween weekend!
I wanted to be a female character from Star Trek and realized there were so many I could be my own.
Introducing Morenike.
Part human part, alien life form, part I felt great in this body suit. =]
The next day I dressed up for work, I went for the nerdy school girl but ended up channeling Brittney Spears instead.
Oops I did it again
Sigh Ahhhhh well. 0=)

I didn't know where else to go
I'm stubborn in wanting only the best for the ones I love.
Struggling to do better for myself so I can spread the goodness
I'm not perfect in any way shape or form
I make mistakes daily
I also manage to make people smile daily
I'm good spirited
But still seem to hurt feelings
I'm greedy with love
Yet self less with my friendship.
I want more good and less bad
In every sense of the word
And when my well doings are misconceived I am the most fragile
I hate being misunderstood,
but being so different and novel to the world you will get more misunderstandings than
appreciation of your true life form
I switch topics when I run out of things to say or rather how to say them
The people who know me well know this
I usually do it in conversations that are going nowhere...
I'm stubborn in wanting the best for the ones I love
My only fear is not doing all I have to do to bring out my positiveness to the world
It's so easy to piss someone off or make mistakes continuously
But to try, to make an effort, to correct a mistake
Is the difference between dying and living.
