Well, it’s Martin Luther King Jr. day. January has been flying by and here we are. Do you still have a dream? I know I do. I was lucky to be raised in Washington, D.C. at an international elementary school that taught me at an early age to appreciate different races, cultures and religions. I learned Spanish and English at the same time and I truly appreciate my family for sending me to such a school.
I know a lot of people aren’t lucky enough to say the same. They learn from an early age to discriminate against others for the color of their skin, religion, where they live or who their grandparents were. It’s unfortunate but I do believe that even if you were raised to be some kind of bigot, you can change. You don’t have to be like your parents on grandparents.
In this age where the President is focused on forcing illegal immigrants out of the country, creating chaos and even deaths, let’s all remember that we all bleed the same color. And, there is no skin color differential in heaven or hell. So, today we honor you Dr. King. What are you doing to make this world a better place?

Happy New Year! How are you? Have y’all been on vacation? I’ve been taking a couple of days off, we all must rest and recharge from time to time. I saw this gorgeous video of what I believe is the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. It’s so beautiful!
Well, they say life is short. How is your New Year going? Do you have any resolutions?

Hey y’all! I’ve been quite busy trying to balance everything I have to do. Anyway, I entered several contests to be voted in as the next Maxim Magazine Covergirl with feature photoshoots and cash prizes. I could use the cash to buy art supplies and create new fashion samples. All you have to do is hit the link and vote! All votes are doubled by 2 pm. Any support is greatly appreciated as I have financed all my projects myself, including this blog. So tell your friends, family and neighbors!
I started building a modeling portfolio a long time ago in college in Boston. Then I moved to New York and continued. Fashion, art and modeling have always been passions of mine and I would love for you to take part in my journey!

Good morning! So, happy Fashion Month. I’ve been trying to catch up and still quite busy handling the hack. Anyway, I’ve become quite a fan of Area through recent years and they did not disappoint for this past Spring/Summer 2026 New York Fashion Week show.
They have street style, elegance with a touch of opulence. I have a Good American denim dress that looks very much like the Area dress below but the dress is jazzed up with a train, fraying of fabric and a one-shoulder design. And, the above feathered white top is just stunning.
Have you been watching the shows?

How are you doing this fashion month? I’ve been quite busy but I have caught some shows and just love this Anna Sui Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The colors and mixed prints are just fabulous, she and her team did a great job. What’s your favorite look?

Greetings to you from sunny South Florida! Wanted to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yesterday I went to church in my Ralph Lauren gold metallic skirt, JW Anderson flats and my Karl Lagerfeld handbag. We didn’t get any lights up on the house but we did get a Christmas tree, and it’s perfect. What are you doing for the Holidays?
Sincerely,

How have you guys been? I haven’t been so well at all, it’s like I’ve been under siege. But, yesterday, I was able to support the West Palm Beach Chapter of The Links Inc.’s White Rose fundraiser event. They raise money annually for some of their initiatives, particularly scholarships for young black children. Education and exposure is so important.
I wore a vintage red sequined Dress the Population dress along with a black face mask and boa. Everyone looked great and we all enjoyed a three-course meal along with dancing.
