Fashion Of A Minor

Last Words

So. This is a pretty pointless post and will be the last post of this blog. Around Christmas I am posting the offish link to my new blog. Super excited to start fresh and exhibit the things I have been working on. Trust me, just because I haven't posted in a while doesn't mean I haven't been thinking or working on things for my blog. Lately I haven't been taking outfit posts but here's what has been going on. CNL was amazing. We made over 600 people laugh their asses off. It was great to watch all of my hard work pay off. I'm shifting gears and getting back into my school mode. Rather than bombarding myself with extra curricular activities, I am only doing a few things this year in which I can actually be dedicated to.

My kitten, Lucy

Vans becoming an every day wear - super comfy

Working on shit for CNL

In the stage crew booth working on the production of the MultiCultrual Show

Enjoying putting up a tree at Abraham's house

My Jefferey Campbell Coltranes finally came in.

Bus rides.. Alone

Best way to style a jersey is with a flannel. My opinion

Selfies up until I misplaced my glasses. Lawd.

Always carry my poloriod around.

Only a few shots of CNL. Ugh Too damn funny man.

Although it isn't the same as being there, for those who didn't get to come, the show is definitely online.

You can see me and my fro running from on stage to in the audience to in character cause I had to stage manage, co direct and perform in the show. It was alright though. Stage Crew was the biggest help of all though.

I hope you guys have happy holidays. I sure as hell will.

Stay tuned though. <3

In Good Spirit

SERIOUSLY . Tune in to 106.7 for all the Christmas hits. Its been on blast in my room and in the car for the past couple of days now. I am so in the Christmas spirit this year its ridiculous. I actually want to make a blog dedicated just for Christmas. Which is ironic because my family doesn't celebrate it. No tree for this MINOR. I swear, my kids are going to have the biggest Christmas' ever. For now though, the wishlists begin!

I haven't posted in a week or more so I planned for this long outfit post with like 5 different outfits but by the second outfit I got so lazy and tired. I frigged the whole thing. Haha, I really need to do something with myself. Rather than bombarding with pictures though, I'll bombard you with my words and tell you whats up.

Today;s weather gives me a significant boost of a reason why I want to leave New York for College - towards somewhere hella warmer (California/Florida) This morning my mom and I went to the flea market as we usually do on Sundays. 2 minutes after walking out from the car, I turn to go back for something and unfortunately she left the keys inside. So mind you, its 7:30 in the morning, 26 degrees. And I'm trapped only wearing sneakers, thin sweats and my boyfriends sweater. Crap. So about 20 minutes were standing outside freezing our butts off, watching 2 different people try to open the car for us with no luck. My legs, lips, toes, fingers have gone completely numb, while my chest was burning hot. (Bad sign) It really hurt to breath. (What a day to leave the asthma pump inside the car) It was scary as hell. We tried to wait for my dad outside but at a point it was so freezing that we couldn't any longer. Boy, that cold wind blew that morning.
The story goes on but eventually someone got the car open in about 30 seconds. We shuffled inside. Lawd, my body took 30 minutes to completely defrost and my cheat took about an hour to go back to a steady heart beat and a regular temperature.

MORNINGS OF A MINOR MAN. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

That Cardozo Night Live show I was stressing about before was postponed to next week, thank Goodness. I'm basically taking control so my class can get everything done on time. It will be a lot of work and money spent on my side but its alright. Plus with people in the class on my side such as Kristen, Chris Shaw, Imani and Amanda who truly enforce things, I know we can make something of this show. Time to put on the grownup shoes and go out for something you want to happen.

Btw the jeans are from American Apparel. Originally dark wash high waist jean but I bleached one side completely to add my touch to it. You can do it all by yoself. Shoes are from Zara

Wait I will have to save this for a late night post. I have homework and CNL shit to finish tonight plus my dad is blasting Haitian radio again and its driving me crazy.

My next post will be towards my frequently asked questions.

Have a good Sunday!

MCBEANIE&MINOR

My lovely friend, Layah - I love her so much.

Me catching up on sleep during my Physics Lab - AMAZING NAP

Mornings with the babe, Abe. ^

Yesterdays outfit, inspired by Yejin Chong, my hood ass asian

The dated, detailed doings of
Annie.

I am a creator. An artist. A realist. An optimist. A student. A daughter. An imaginer. A lover. I simply am. Biggest dream? To attend FIDM, major in design, work and study fashion as well as interior design in New York and California and make something of my life despite of where I came from. But for now, here is where I share little bits of my life, my interests, and my mission to accomplish my dreams. This blog are moments captured in time. Laughing, crying, walking, talking. Turning "ing" to "ed". Moments seized in time. Moments to look back on. To remember. Caught within the palm of my hands, held in my camera.

"She does mostly street-wear brands, but I feel her beauty is much more than that. "

"I am a senti(mental) - instru(mental). I am so to the point that. I find pleasure in mixing music with company. My desire is to soak you in song. I take bits of you, and sow it within the confines of something as multitudinous, as a song. The scent of you will stick to me; like that of alcohol, to skin. Or, cigarettes, to fingertips. Or, paint fumes to a renovated room. I want the weight of having thought of you too deeply. "

"If you don’t think you are very smart or funny or good looking or whatever then maybe just try to focus on the things that are great about you… like maybe you are good at remembering birthdays or important days, or you are gentle and kind with animals, or you are good at being patient with children or you have mastered the art of roasting marshmallows to perfection…. you don’t have to be Einstein or a top model to celebrate yourself"

"If the boy who draws

let’s you look over his shoulder. If the poet smiles and shows you her words. If the girl who sings for the shower only, hums a song in front of you. Know that you’re no longer a person but the air and dust that fills their lungs. When the world perishes, and all things cease to exist, you’ll remain inside an ink stain, a paint brush, a song."

"I didn't have the confidence I have now during my teenage years. I had all of these wild ideas that I spent a lot of time trying to convey and convince myself of. But over time you evolve and become really, really comfortable with who you are."

"I was homophobic. So God gave me three gay kids and told me to grow the hell up."

"Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches."

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?).

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting."

"I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world."

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”
"هذا يجب تمرير للغاية."
"Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul. "
"I prefer inspirational poems that teach you to live a better life over love poems. I have never liked poems or quotes that were based upon one pouting over the other person that deprived of they’re love or someone pouring out ones love for the other person. -life’s too short for that."
"I opened my rib cage and you didn’t catch a single butterfly that flew out."
" فإنه يحصل على نحو أفضل"
"i crave passion and intensity"
" Have you ever felt a potential love for someone? Like, you don’t actually love them and you know you don’t, but you know you could. You realize that you could easily fall in love with them. It’s almost like the bud of a flower, ready to blossom but it’s just not quite there yet. And you like them a lot, you really do. You think about them often, but you don’t love them. You could, though. You know you could. "
"He's got a soul as sweet as blood red jamAnd he shows me, he knows meEvery inch of my tar black soul"
"I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me."
"The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips." "It’s okay to lose yourself for a little while. In books, in music, in art. Let yourself get lost."
"You deserve flowers on your doorstep and coffee in the morning. You deserve notes left on your dashboard and ice cream sundaes at 3 am. You deserve honesty every day and to be kissed every hour. You deserve to be reminded how beautiful you are"
"When I say be creative, I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem."
"Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?"
"The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart; and being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel less. So don’t buy it."
"You can’t find true happiness if you live your life trying to please other people."
"Success is the best revenge"
"You're looking at yourself in the mirror and you don't realize what you look like because you're just a baby so you smile and wave at the baby smiling and waving back at you. You glance away for a second, look back but then you are already eight, staring at your ripped jeans and scraped knees but it's worth it because you because you proved to the boys you're not a sissy after you threw out your bubble gum lip gloss, pink bows, and told them you hated pink. And then you're fourteen and you're in the mirror putting on eyeliner because suddenly you are into makeup and the boys like those girls now, and you're saying, you're shouting "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MOM!" But she really did because now you're looking in the mirror on your wedding day but you're only half smiling because you wonder if you might not have had to go through with this if it wasn't for the kicking in your stomach. Before you know it, you're looking in the mirror again but you're wrinkled and tired-looking and the world is no longer at your feet yet you have nothing to show for yourself besides a daughter and next time you look you're looking in the mirror and you don't even know what you look like, you can't even recognize yourself so you look away.Yet you still know you can't avoid mirrors in a society as vain as ours."
"As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."
"what do you mean you can't hang out i showered for this i shaved for this i put a bra on for you. i got off tumblr for you i am wearing real pants I went outside i got out of bed i woke up"
