NOH8 Campaign


I am drawn and amazed by the NOH8 campaign. If you don't know what that it is...It is a campaign that was launched in 2010 to help protest prop 8. If you want more info go on the website www.noh8campaign.com. When you go on there you will see different pictures of people with duck tape on their mouth and NOH8 written somewhere on their body. A lot of celebrities and regular people have come out and supported and now it's your turn! I challenge you and your friends to get together and a do a many photo shoot. I will do the same. All you need is a camera, duck tape, and markers or some kind of writing device. It is that easy! Be creative in the way you express yourselves. Then post them on your myspaces, facebooks, twitters or any other online service you have. Get the word out that H8 (hate) against a group of people is not right! I would love to see pics of what u guys came up with. Please send me pics at poetrismusik@aol.com!

"I Run LA"

If you haven't heard the phrase "I Run LA" you must have not turned on a t.v lately. This phrase has been made famous by Natalie Nunn better known as loud mouth Natalie off this seasons Bad Girls Club. Since the first episode of BGC she has been claiming to "Run LA". Telling stories about her partying with the elite and celebrities.She was seen on the show with Marcus Paulk better known as Miles from Moesha.

And the oh so famous boyfriend that she is constantly crying about is Olamide Faison. He is the brother to Donald Faison stars in NBC Scrub. Olamide is also the lead singer to the early 2000s group Imajin.

I wonder if these are the celebrities she is talking about, because they are definitely not on the A-List. Oh wait my bad she had "sexual encounters" with Chris Brown. So that makes her a socialite lol But yet he's denied it on his twitter. She has said that if he didn't tell them the truth she was going to post nude pics of him. Wow! Is it that serious??? I guess it is...for people to know that she banged Chris Brown. Natalie's voice "I Run LA because I had sex with Chris Brown, my boyfriend is a sesame street cast member, and I roll around in my many Sugar Daddy expensive cars."

Hey I am definitely not hating. Although she irritates me she makes for good t.v, well atleast in the reality world. She is obviously doing something right because people are talking about her...I'm blogging about her...I guess that degree came in handy. Yesss i said DEGREE! She is actually an alumni of USC. She double majored in Sociologly and Communications. This picture is from her player bio on usctrojans.com she played soccer there for all 4 years.

She is not dumb she knows exactly what she is doing on the Bad Girl's Club. She is branding her name while she has the fame and I am not mad at her for making that money.She has definitely come a long way from her college days, but personally I still thinks she is ugly.

Jersey Shore

Everyone is so obsessed with the hit MTV show Jersey Shore. There is 8 people that complete this cast, but Snooki has definitely made a name for herself. She is highly known for her poof, but I want to talk about her fashion taste or lack of. If it's not a short skirt or her boobs hanging out I am sure she is not wearing it. Recently, she has took part in a couple of makeunders and I definitely think it is for the better. This is her before...


Check her out after the makeunders...


I think she looks soooo much better! I absolutely love the second picture. That outfit slims her and exudes sexy without being over the top. She still gets to show cleavage but its classy.

Let me know which look you like better!

New York Fashion Week

So, its the last day of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and I definitely found some pieces that I love and some that I am really not feeling. Some key things I saw throughout the different lines...was black, gray, camel, brown. I saw a lot of fur and leather. It was alot of things that made you think of animals and outside. I was pretty surprised that some of my favorite designers didn't captivate me this year. Christian Siriano whose clothes I always love, just didn't do anything for me this year.

This fushia dress on the left was my favorite out of the whole collection. The time and effort put in to making this dress is amazing. Whether it is the structured bodest or the beautiful layers at the bottom of the dress. How could something so beautiful be in the same collection as this dress on the left. This metallic glittery fabric looks very cheap to me and he did a few designs with this same fabric.

One of my favorites of the week was the designer Mackage. In their collection there was a good mixtures of textures. There was satin, leather, cotton, and even fur. The main colors used were black, camel, brown and a little blue and green. This collection was chic, feminine, edgy with a little rock edge with the leather and metal embellishments. Below are a few pictures of my favorites.


The Project Runway tent had a lot of pieces I gravitated too. I tried to look at the pieces and figure out which designers made it to Bryant Park. If you watch Project Runway I am sure you can look at these following pictures and tell which designer created these pieces.


This was just a glimpse of what fashion week was about for fall 2010. If you want to see more check out mbfashionweek.com.

Personal Shopper

Hey everyone,

I am too excited because I just finished my first job as a personal shopper/stylist. I had a client who really didn't know how to put things together so she always played it safe. Whether it was with her color choices or her t-shirt, jeans, and flip flop mentality. When going out to shop for her my main objective was to add color and patterns without taking her too much out her comfort zone. So I kept her blacks and whites and through in some blues, purple, grays, and a little tan. I also through in some strips, plaids, and a lot of embellishment. It was definitely all about the layering. The layering was great for her, because she could take the separates and make multiple outfits out of those key pieces. In the end she felt rejuvenated and extremely happy and that is all I desire from my clients.
