I gave my sister a little break this weekend and had my nephews, Tony & Asar over for a fun overnight.  Between them and Amelia, the house was loud! Running up & down the stairs, jumping on the bed, music, singing, screaming etc. Even with it being like a mini zoo, it was fun watching […]

From the Urban Dictionary: Bitch Goggles – Designer sunglasses of the feminine sort that scream wealth, glamour, and sophistication. The trend (as with most things trendy) seems to be the bigger, the better. In addition to blocking out rays from suns in distant galaxies, serving as a racoonine substitute for makeup, and masking your blood-shot, […]

I remember way back when Mohawks were something that punk-like white guys wore in the 80s. Maybe there was the occasional Black guy who “acted white” would have one but that was about it.

When I saw her, the 1st thing I thought of was a fairy. The dress, the hair, the eyes. The Chanel bag made her a very fashionable fairy. A simple but fun photo. What you don’t see here is the gang of photographers behind me calling out to get her attention for a photo. So […]

Me & my camera in a lonely New York hotel room. You can see that I was really concentrating by all of the veins popping out on my forehead. I know it may be sill but I love talking photos of myself. Don’t judge me…

My good friend Jasim DeForrest of Word Play Tee’s recently contacted me about a project that she is working on for her mother, Helen. The project being Helen’s huge upcoming retirement party. After 41 years with the Social Security Administration, Helen is calling it quits. When I read 41 years, I just said WOW. Thinking about […]
