Love Me.

Everyone meet Siergio Mike Larry, Alpha/model/musician. I met him about two years ago, while working with Project X. I didn't know at that time he was a singer, but listening to his new project, LOVE ME, I have become a fan. His voice is soulful with a pop aspect. I can't wait to see more come from this young man. Expect an interview feature coming soon. 

Below is his album art and a video of him singing "Pretender."

NYC Fashion.

While attending African Fashion Week, I ran into this young lady. Love at first sight.Colorful from head to toe. She rocked a cut-off denim short, oversized t-shirt, fitted hat and chucky wooden jewelry. Perfectly unique.

Kiddunot.com Party Time

Friday nights, seem to be the night where all the hipsters and socials come out. I  found myself with my normal crew, MarQuis Laurent and myself along with some new faces, headed to Kiddunot.com 2nd Anniversary party. Coco and Breezy were the host of the night to Atlanta's movers and shakers. We enjoyed the energy in the room, while networking. Their is nothing like an Atl Party!

My Dawn.

Dawn Richard has released her own blog,via twitter. I love the opening page, the video of her journey into the future. I found it to be such an inspiration to go from nothing to something bigger than yourself.

Oh Oscar!

Teh Love is Gone.

One of my favorite teen-queen, turned mature artist Christina Aguilera has released her second video from Bionic. The song "You Lost Me," gives me young Aguilera with strong vocals over a melodic track. I adore her voice over ballads.

My Observation.

Day two of African Fashion Week, Mattie James and myself, sat front row. We had  the chance to view the fashions of these talents African artist, with a close eye on hems and construction. I am enjoyed every bit of it. I witnessed history in the making. Eventhough this was the first year, I expect this event to get bigger and better every year from now. Below are a couple of pics I got the chance to snap, before my camera died.

Runway Lights.

So Mattie and I arrive to African Fashion Week on Walls St.. We both arrived late, I take the responsibility for that. It was my flight. However, once there we polished ourselves in full blogger mode. We took pics of everything from the fashions to stylish individuals in the venue. This the first African fashion Week and I look forward to many more. Below are some pics I took, trust me I am better with the camera. lol!

Upon landing and riding the shuttle bus to GRAND CENTRAL STATION and then another bus to PENN STATION, I find myself with Mattie James in TIME SQUARE. I have finally made to my lovie! I stood on the corner of 42nd and Fashion Ave.,looking around watch as people rush by. I love how everyone has no regard for anyone else around them. Perfection. You either get in the flow or get out the way. Off to African Fashion Week!

Journey to the Concrete Jungle.

Walking through Hartsfield-Jackson airport, I prepare myself for the two hour flight to NYC. Finally, I am heading to the city where my heart has been, waiting for me to join it. Dreaming and wishing to travel to a place where my dreams meet my craft, I am about to board this flight. Next time we speak, I will be walking the streets of NYC, New York City.

Summer Nights.

By now, people should know that SIMPLICITY is Key with me.I ran across this young lady in a black swimsuit top and H&M herum pant. Perfect for the hot Atlanta nights.

Let's Get Dirty.

The ladies of Dirty Money, Dawn and Karlenna, shot for Black Men Magazine. I can't wait to see the mag. The shoot looked very sexy.

Inspiration for Me.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have a special love that is rare in my opinion. They met and married quickly, on top of making it public to the world. Watching Kourtney & Khloe take Miami, I see that the love they share is genuine and innocent. I love it. I believe your blessed to find your soulmate in a lifetime. I can't wait to find my soulmate. I'm going to follow these tow, such an inspiration. 

Side note: I hope they get their own show, Khloe & Lamar Home Sweet Home. (just them too.)

Angel of Mine.

I discovered on Solange's blog, she did an interview and shoot for Refinery 29. I love the photos and how this woman keeps evolving. Her sense of style is so forward while embracing classic pieces. She mixes colorful prints of new designers with timeless pieces from well named fashion houses. She is also working on her third studio album, which will be amazing.

Live on Stage.

Kelly Rowland is still making the rounds, promoting her hit single, "Commander," in Europe. This performance was on GMTV, looking great. I can't wait for this self-titled album coming this September.

Our Generation.

John Legend and the ROOTS, team up with Levi's, to display the two musicians working on a new album, Wake Up. They pulled inspiration from the 60's and 70's, to help empower this generation to make a change. I look forward to hearing it soon.

Always Brighter at Dawn.

Recently Dawn, formerly of Danity Kane and member of Dirty Money, shoot for French Magazine, Ghubar. The spread was a reflection of her sense of style. The shoot was styled by Ugo Mozie.

I loved the styling and the editing of the photos. Dawn has always been one of the stylish artist from Danity Kane to Dirty Money. I really want a solo album from her.

Not Just Another Remix.

While on twitter, I see that Janelle Monae has released a new video, "Tightrope (Remix)." The remix is mid-tempo version of the original hit, featuring B.O.B and Lupe Fiasco. I loved it. And she was rapping as well. I'm done. Check it out.
