like most in this country I am following the inauguration events on the telly; I think it is absolutely amazing how one person's dream can ultimately affect how society today. Thinking upon it, if it hadn't been for MLK, Mother Teresa, etc many facets of our society would not be so right now; I am so eternally thankful for those who are fearless who despite what society has taught them or tried to make them believe they continued to believe in themselves and have faith. Having a Mum who was Native American she herself was often told she couldn't do anything of importance and to this day people tell me the same because of my culture, I speak a different language so yes we still have these negative connotations in society but never give up. If one thing I learned from my Mum was to dream big and always have faith...believe. So, on this day I am so eternally grateful for those who contributed to make society better ultimately, I think we still have some ways to go but just imagine how it would be if no one in the past tried? So happy birthday to one of the men who inspires me to continue on and continue to dream despite what society says; also grateful for President Obama...thank you for inspiring so many and making society better for my generation and the next.

you have my attention....
even though Copeland has broken up...I still love their music and "you have my attention" describes my mood right now...because someone does have my attention and he's had it for quite some time :-)

raining....
I haven't talked much since it happened on my feelings about losing my brother almost two months ago. It was something that happened so suddenly that it didn't even really register and my way of "grieving" is becoming a workaholic but as we all know that isn't the best route necessarily. Ever since I do have those days were it is just bleh...but I am also human things do take time to heal from especially when losing someone close to you. My brother was my best friend, my hero, my partner in crime and he was really there when I lost both of my parents. But do know he was such a giving spirit and lived life to the fullest each and everyday and that is something I will always take with me. "raining" by of verona is one of the songs which perfectly describes how I felt and been feeling about it all; just thankful for the time was able to spend with him here on Earth. I am also trying to keep a positive outlook on everything and know with time it will get better and just know that when a person is gone their love is like the wind...we don't see it but we feel it and know it's there....

Romeo + Juliet
do you think of me
like I think of you
and even though in these
times you might feel
broken, you're not alone
you were so set on your
heart being sold only to be
told that it wasn't worth
time to invest because
trust had been misplaced
but I understand she was your Rosaline
still, don't let her win and see you cry
I know it's worth a try, just if you'd
let me I'd like to be your Juliet
inadvertent kindness that was later
used to draw down the shades
parting words that were long left unsaid
too many goodbyes the one that was
long overdue
so don't be afraid to breathe me in
and don't be afraid to see me
because I could be everything you need
I understand she was your Rosaline
still, don't let her win and see you cry
I know it's worth a try, just if you'd let
me, I'd like to be your Juliet....
fashion Q & A
so here is a Q & A all about fashion...yaaay!
Q: Who is your favorite designer?
A: I have several: Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Mar Jacobs, Coco Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.
Q: Which designers do you wear the most?
A: Going to be honest, I have more Louis Vuitton but I actually prefer to wear local or indie designers. One of them is Make Believe Monsters their t shirts are fabulous!!!
Q: What was it like having a Mom for a runway model?
A: It was pretty cool. I grew up around fashion and music so it's all I pretty much have been exposed to. My Mum taught me how to work the runway so I remember putting on her heels and walking up and down the hallway practicing.
Q: Favorite fashion magazine?
A: I love Vogue or Elle I read those two the most.
Q: Your fashion influences?
A: Everyday people! I love setting trends more so than following them. My clothing style is pretty quirky so I love anything that is out there or something that no one has seen or done before.
Q: Most interesting fashion moment?
A: When I attended an event and a girl had on the EXACT outfit I did. It was pretty funny but those things happen from time to time. Just learn to laugh at them.
Q: Favorite shoes?
A: I am more of a chuck type of girl!! I do and will wear heels but typically I love to just loaf around in sneaks like converse or chucks.But it's weird I say that about heels but love wearing pointe shoes.
Q: Fashion icons?
A: Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn. I am so fascinated with 1950s and 1960s fashion for both men and women. I think women were more glamourous then. I typically go for a classic look and natural I don't like to see women cake on make up etc it doesn't seem "real" to me.
Q: Your first runway show?
A: I was so incredibly nervous! My fear is always forgetting where the runway ends and walking into the crowd ha ha.
Q: You prefer gothic high fashion and pin up to editorial, why?
A: One reason is because I didn't want the constant comparisons. Not that I didn't mind but I wanted to find my own niche in the fashion industry aside from my Mum. But I've always been attracted to the edgier side of fashion as well not what everyone else likes so to speak. It was more about creating my own identity.
Q: It was or still is hard in the fashion industry marketing wise?
A: Yes, very much so. When I very first started everyone wanted to try and "market" me as something I am not which was so hard. I just felt like (and still do) that it is easier to categorize people so when it came to me it was a whole wtf ?? notion. Finally, it just came down to why not just "market" me as is..a human being? It is what it is but yes there are moments.
Q: Where do you see yourself in the fashion industry?
A: It is really hard to tell. I love modeling now and the traveling, etc. but really I see myself "retired" and being a mum which is what I hope for someday. Maybe then I will take up designing but who knows!!
Q: Who is your favorite designer?
A: I have several: Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Mar Jacobs, Coco Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.

Saturday morning Q & A
Q: What is your favorite time of the day?
A: definitely not the morning...yuck! LOL I've never been a morning person.
Q: What is your favorite cereal?
A: Captain Crunch Berries or shredded wheat but usually I like oatmeal in the mornings for breakfast too
Q: What instruments do you play?
A: I play piano, acoustic guitar somewhat.
Q: What are your thoughts before you perform?
A: That there are actually people out there in the audience ha ha. I remember one time I peaked out from backstage and freaked because there were so many people in the audience I wanted to run away!!!
Q: How do you prepare before a performance?
A: I am a goofball so I may be in the back doing something hysterical it helps me relax.
Q: What is your relationship status?
A: I'm lingse......
Q: Explain the song you wrote "nonchalance"?
A: I wrote it about a personal experience. The song itself is about a girl where basically a guy is a jerk to her because he thought she wasn't "cool enough" for him, so he decided to chase greener grass only to find out...he made the wrong decision and tries to come back. But, I just learned became wiser and grew. I am actually glad it didn't work out because it left me open for someone way more amazing. As for me, when it comes to the other guy...no I don't do refunds :-)
