I am just a fly girl from Miami who is trying to find myself in the big city. Madonna's anthem, "Are you Ready to Jump?" reminds me of a fresh beginning..the willingness to find something new..ultimately, living this massive puzzle we call life. This blog is a compilation of all the things that makes me me. I will follow no specific format or outline. The only connective thread you may sense throughout this blog is a desire to learn....grow and share. Enjoy and feel free to take the jump!!!

Introducing....
Cute...right?
She is supposed to be the next new it girl. I am loving her weave I am just afraid i'll look like a freakin drag queen.
Let me know your thoughts!
Peace snitches!
If I was a white girl....
This chick is "no hace un juego." (this means not a game for my non-cultural buddies)
She is always pressed, from the roota to da toota. Now I must admit she is a little slim for my liking but she is my sister in fashion just the sis with the multi million dollar bank account. Check her out below at the Giambattista Valli show in spring 2007 :
Just Sharp!!
Oh...and the bore sitting next to her is Katie Holmes.
Vicky..Babs...can you please adopt me?
Friends don't let frriend's walk through the streets of Manhattan in stilettos

"My first day back to work"
Many of you guys don't know this but this past week was my 1st week back to work after rescinding a great offer another ad agency offered me.
To make a long story short on the day before my last day at work, I was offered a better position at the current job and more $$. Yep...I darn sure took the offer too.
So days before my first day back, i had a major mental breakdown because I wanted to be superfly....Cleopatra Jones fly.....Beyonce in her "Crazy in Love Video" fly....you know....coming back in full force!!!
Everyone in my close circle instructed me to have the weave tight....the suit tight...the face paint tight...and I was feeling it right. But no one told me to walk 5 blocks in some 4" stilettos feeling my oats. That was plain God d%$@ stupid. By the time I got to work, I caught a cramp in my calf and looked like a high price crack head who just ran the NY marathon in heels. NOt a good look gals!!!
Moral of the story: Fierce chicks don't walk...we take a cab!!!
Peace Snitches!!
Get you a theme song!
I feel that I must say this to all my girls, guys, and trannys!
EVERYONE NEEDS A THEME SONG.
Though I have quite a few theme songs this is def my "go get em girl" song. This joint is on repeat from the moment my heels hit the pavement outside my building to greeting the security guards in the lobby of my place of employment. I am certainly crunk by the time I get to my office. Especially when you have a couple of " Camille...can we....?" waiting in my Inbox.
Call it my daily affirmation!!
Camron on O'Reilly
I just had to pull this from the vaults!!
I mean can there be a better representation of the black people. I love this!!! At one point I really don't know why O' Rielly even tryed to have a decent conversation with these two.

To Weave or not to weave

Ok..the pic above is not me but dammit ya'll it could be if I don't stop wearing weaves. Now what is a diva to do...stop wearing weaves and plunge in the depths of boring wraps. Girls, I had to find a solution and da...dananaaaa!!!! A half wig!!!

My half wig is da bomb...and the best part is I can take it off and put it back on when I want to. You may have to go to your nearest Korean weave retailer to snag on e of these babies but the evil...distrusting stares are really worth it. Now snicthes if you have a man that is not quite used to you whipping your hair on and off your head please don't do that mess. Do that crap in the bathroom... I will not be responsible for broken homes. My halfie is beautiful! Lookie! Lookie!

I am pleasantly satisfied!...Peace snitches!!

Open Casket Clean

Soooo.. I have been on a serious hunt for a bad ass suit and ladies and gents I found it. I am going to be doing the damn thing in my Alvin Valley power suit. Sure...I spent a pretty penny on it but as long as I can look a B in the eyeand utter the two words that I hate the most in the Core-por-I-hate world ("can we...") then it is all good. What I love most of all is that this pant has a 37" inseam...WTF!!! I mean I am freakin 5'11 and to find a pair of pants in a 37" inseam is like finding a natural strand of hair in "New York's" (Flavor of Love) head.
I am not going to lie I have never freakin heard of Alvin Valley until I got this secret sample sale crud in my e-mail box. Well for the inquiring minds of fashionistas every where.....lemme edumacate you! Alvin Valley is known as the "King of Pants" and his designs encompass fit and style for the modern women. He is also from Miami....so he must know style darlings. His shit is about tailoring beautiful clothes to make you look good. I now have joined the ranks of Jennifer Lopez.....Kate Winslet....Penelope Cruz....and a plethora of others in having these fab suits. I can't wait to march my happy tail in somebody's office and play that bitch of a boss in one of these kick ass suits.
"What are you doing today Brain......taking over the world"....see ya snitches!!!!

The Black Emeril???

It's been a minute since my last post but no worries snithes...I am back!! Feast your eyes above. Isn't he a fine hunk a sumtin' Well, on one of my attempts to bring my lazy butt to the Bally's on 23rd and 6th, I decided it was time for a little mental feeding. Basically, I took my butt to the Barnes an Noble across the street. Now I usally make a beeline for the magazine section before delving into the myriad of books. This time however, this choclate man greeted me. He said "Hey"...I said "hey" ...he said "do you cook"...I said...."of course"..then I picked up the damn book.
Great freaking marketing...putting him on the front cover. Well to say the least, Chef Garvin's cook book is really da bomb. I made the meat loaf this weekend and it was delish. Yep, would've fooled my own man had he not seen the cook book. The book really has tons of great recipies and is really easy to follow. It ranges from creating gourmet sandwiches to good ole' pork chops and white bread.
I cosign this one ya'll!!!

In With the Old

Everthing is cyclical! Fashion is definitely not excluded. Today I stumbled on one of the many...I am sure fabulous vintage stores in NYC. No Relation vintage resides between 12th and 13th street on 1st Ave in Lower Manhattan. Now like many stores that harbor clothes that are a billion years old, you have to dig... and dig and dig until you find something that is quite worth while. I unfortunately found not one damn thing today. Not because they did not have anything...I was more in the seek not find mode today. The store was great enough that it did warrant some mention on my blog. It has everthing! vintage tees....cowboy boots....stoles....cool clutches...fur coats....hot leather jackets that remind me of Grease Lightning. The price point is a bit much for me but there are some reasonable items that I would jump on if I was in the mood;like a lavender thriller-like leather jacket ($40.00). I wish I was a little more patient today.
