Fashion: Introducing Kid Love
Strong supporter of Things Galoure, Kid Love (Elijah Pryor), whom I gladly call my bro has supported me hard since I started. He's always had the best advice and of course, the best STYLE. Member of A Funky Tribe Called Fresh, a retro group started up a few years ago to remind us of the 90's. AFTCF now goes by "The Tribe" which includes myself, retro folk, vintage, rappers, singers, photographers, models, fashionistas and models. I'm glad to call them my family, they're people you can go to when you need a laugh, advice, or just looking for a good time.
Here are some photos of Kid sporting custom pins by Things Galoure...

Life: Panda x PEP!
I know I'm slacking on posts, but I can't really find anything to write about.. I'm currently working on a spoken word piece. <3
Anyhow, as usual, you guys know I post about my WEEKENDS, which is when I go out & takes pics and shit.
Friday: I went to LES (Lower East Side Manhattan) and chilled with Abs. ^_^ We played Naruto & GOW (gears of war) He bust my ass odhee.. -_- I hate him (lies.com), but yeah.. don't even challenge him. When it came down to playing GOW, I slaughtered him. Bwahahaha. Anyways, we doodled. Talked business. Blah blah.
Check out his site: www.ERARENYC.com & cop a T-Shirt while they are still in stock!
Saturday: BRUNCH AT MY HOUSE! My peeps came to el Bronx to my brunch all the way from Brooklyn! I cooked pancakes, french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon & ham. So so good! :P
We had mad fun! (besides the bumass shuttle bus) & of course, I took pics. :D
Me and Killz.
Me & Killz (me bein silly)
Jen, me, and Killz. <4
I love em to death. <3
Killz, Monte, Me, Jen, and Slawta.
Us again.
On the shuttle bus.. lmao @ Slawta.
Okayyyy!
Cheeseeee!
After we left my house we headed to Union. Killz departed to some hotel party and we chilled for a bit. Then Slawta, Jen, Monte & me headed to some bbq. That was fun too. We had planned to hit "The Bodega" up for a party but that didnt work out. Lots of miscommunication. So we all went home..
BUT! Little did we KNOW! Slawta went back to the BBQ which had erupted into a party.. Bitchass nukka!
Sunday: SLEEP! Z___z
But wait! The fun doesnt end here!
Monday: Went to Union met up with Jen (business talk). Then Slawta came along and brought Mala with him! <3 She just got back from Syracuse. This Summer is gonna be mad fucking fun! We chilled in McD's. They left ( I was still with Jen.)
Anyhow.. Then my Willie Bean came (Wilsonman) and Slawta & Mala snuck back to see him. Then Slawta kept coming back. (He had a meeting to go to) Mala was meeting a friend. Who turned out to be Lauren. (Hope I spelled that right. She was purrrdy).
Me & Willie Bean lol
Blah blah blah.. Then their was me. I was waiting for my friend Tajjy to come so we could trade. He makes pins, I make rings. I made a ring just for him.
Here he is sporting it. :] (peep the Panda.)
And we traded. He makes Panda pins and well as others. You should COP! ASAP!
Here are pics of me with the Panda pin on. <3
Well.. that was my weekend + Monday. Today rain. -__- Sounds pretty though. Wish I could snuggle. Ha. :P
Life: Just words
Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been all over this week. With school, the nice weather.. and WORK. I design blogs now.. for a small fee of $10.
I've designed:
http://www.aprelnyc.blogspot.com
http://www.itshisyachtclub.blogspot.com
http://www.whosmario.blogspot.com
& a few others. I forgot the links though. Anyhow, if you need your blog to be designed, let me know. I got you. ^_^
My week so far:
School, handball, basketball.
YUP.
On friday, I hung out with my lovely girlies Ashley &Jen. I went to their photoshoot, we took some pics as well at Dumbo Park. Here are a few from the shoot:

Me & Jen.
Sharing secrets. <3
My favorite thing to smoke: Oxygen.
Me & Ash.
After the Photoshoot we hopped on the A train to 59th Colombus Circle. Ate some McD's & Wendy's. I didn't think so many people were gonna come out for the event, but a lot did. It was mad fun. After that we all went our separate ways. I was still with my girlies, Jen & Ash. Jen invited a friend who kept bagging up boys. Lol.
Jen bought some leggings at Banana Republic (which I will send in my application in for 18+)
Right after that Jen saw this gay guy she fell in love with and he was walking away, Jen said "I want him to be my friend" :(
So me, of course, always to the rescue, I yell "Come back! Be our friend!"
Lmfao, he came back, he introduced himself as Glossy. Funny, cause that was the photographers signature.
Anyhow, we got his info then Ash left. Then our friend Mark met up with us, we went to 42nd st and looked at all the beautiful boys & cut ass on the ugly cuffing and crazy ass chicks with no style! SMFH!
And to top that off...
WE SAW MICHAEL JACKSON! The black version. He was so cute. He had the red leather on from the "Thriller" video. He was with some girl. It was so hot.
Then we got tired of walking. Jen was hitting up some party with her sister that night, so we all went home. :]
Saturday I stood home, watched movies all day. On some relaxed type shit.
Today Sunday, getting my hair done.
Happy Mothers Day!
That was my week...end.. pretty much.
Tmrw? Back to school. :]
Life: Crumbling Cookies.
My world is simple ... I do great.. Then it all crumbles beneath me, causing me to fall, to fail. I don't know why this terrible luck follows me around.. Maybe it's the don't give a fuck attitude I carry once in a while when I'm tired of bullshit. But if I actually cared about every little thing? Where would that get me? Ya know?Like.. Ughh.. I'm so frustrated. I just got back on my school shit, I finally figured out what I wanted to do with my life.. My mom finally understands! And now this bullshit?! Boyfriend problems? We shouldn't have problems..
All I wanted was some space, some time to myself to figure life out, I want him in it, but he thinks I don't give a fuck about anything. I do, I'm not a person that shows the world my colors though, half the time I don't even know what I'm feeling my own damn self.
I've had a lot to deal with, I don't want anymore problems, we don't want anymore problems. So I took a 3 week break. Relax. I'm not gone for good. I'll see you soon.. Just.. Man up. I love you boy. That's all. (sigh)
Poetry: Late Night
Its a late night and I'm still not asleep
I'd pray the lord my soul to keep..
But, my mind's awake.
So my soul he cannot take..
And my thoughts will never break..
Who am I? On this late night?
Tossing & turning, scared..
Scared of the dark so, my flashlight,
is my only company..
I wish somebody was here holding me
Constantly.
But, I am alone..
And yeah I know I'm grown
I'm still scared though..
This is fear no one ever knows..
Cause you can't see whats haunting me..
Walking towards my bed at night
Shaking me awake
I look at the time, "I know its kind of late."
We share stories.. well he does..
I'm scared again.. He can't sleep.
The question always comes.
"Who are you?" I ask
I grab at his mask..
But by then.. he is gone
& I'm scared again
He'll be back before long.
And I know who he is..
He' my brothers ghost,
Out of all of the dead..
I miss my big bro the most.
(This is irrelevant to my life. Thank you.)
Poetry: NYC Stress
Moms gave me $2 today..
I'm flat broke
Had a calculus test,
I flat choked
Pressured by "friends",
I tried coke..
Not surrounded by good,
just bad folk
Got rained on,
I'm mad soaked
But there's a party tonight,
I'm mad stoked
Ain't got no money so,
I sold smoke
$10 to dance,
mad style, baroque
Saw team get live,
just mad blokes
Danced with a shorty,
got mad pokes
Took her home,
did fast strokes
New York City stress?
I got it down,
mad cloaked.
Rock the boat if you can cope.
If not, just lost hope.

Random: Sweet Porn
I think the movie most guys fantasize about is a porno flick with their girlfriend & some chicks or just random girls. I don't know why that is.. it's like.. if it's not recorded it didn't happen? Or like.. why do you want to watch yourself have sex? Is it better than watching two other random strangers doing it? Idk, I was just curious as to why guys want to be involved in a porn.
So.. Can someone answer this.. (preferably a guy)
-Do you want to be in a porn?
-Why do you want to be in a porn and with WHO?
(you can answer anonymously, just click on comments)
Beauty: WANTS!
My blog is definitely not a fashion one.. as fashionable as I may be, I never keep up with the latest trends. I have this app on my iTouch which I use to think of like girly outfits and these are a few I stole. Those of you who know me personally know I will look like I'm about to play basketball, then look extra feminine the next day.
Anyway, I included some make up stuff I REALLY REALLY WANT. I know no one would buy it for me, but if you happen to see this and you do buy me it, I love youuuu! Lmao.
Anyways.. few of you know whats happening in May.. (those of you who don't ehhh.. you suck), but yeah, everything is on hold til May -> T-Shirts. So just stay on the look out.
NEW LOOK!
So I made my WHOLE ENTIRE layout from S C R A T C H! HTM-Fucking-L! Each little picture & widget all installed separately! Took me 6 hours to get it done. I am somewhat pleased with the outcome. I hope you guys like the new look too.. I worked really hard on it.
What do ya think?
(oh and if you noticed, I took the "signature" off the end of my posts, I'm working on a new one.)
Life: False Love
It has come to my attention that many people "fall in love" fast and hard.. or so it seems that way, but in the "end" (end of relationship) what the love really was, was lust. Many people are fooled by lust, thinking that they love the other person, and someone always gets hurt because the other really does actually love them. When you lust someone, you can unlike them or "un-love" them, just as quickly as you fell for them. That lust (false love) you felt for them can easily turn into hate, just like that. I don't even know why I'm writing this, 6:20am in the morning, insomnia is a bitch.
Anyways, what I'm saying is, don't confuse lust for love cause that's not what it is, it's false love. It's not only the other person getting hurt from you falsely loving them, it's you too, you become a victim for thinking that you did and hurting your other.
But hey, shit happens. Let's just be careful with who we trust and who we lust, cause the people we lust we may not love.
Oh yeah... don't forget to wrap it up. 8======D
Signature
New signature! All posts will now have this cute little signature at the end! Isn't it cool? <3 I drew the lil turtle & signature myself. Art programs can let you do anything now a days. Yep. Well, hope you like it!
Oh! & a reminder! I've placed the order so I can get the materials to start working on the tee's! As soon as that gets here (2-3 days) I'll be in business! So be on the look out for that update!
Thanks! =**

Random: Skinny Jeans
Me going up the stairs in school with some skinny ass jeans. Lol, I was just playing, I could bend my knees. Me & Wendy were just bored.
Life: My Bedroom
Welcome to my bedroom! I had a cold and my room was extra dusty.. some I cleaned up & put up some of my posters. :]
Here we've got Teddy, my bed, & my "office". I also have a screen that separates that part of the room from the rest. Ooh la la, mucho fancy. Lol.
Here we have the messy corner. End table, some plastic drawer thing with crap inside. My closet. Some purses & bags. A filing cabinet... I don't know why I have that.. It just has mad shit I don't use in there.. storage?
The monsters under my bed! Sneakers, boots, shoes. -_-
Shit I can't live without: Accessories. All on my dresser.
The mess on my dresser... It get's worse. Some sports trophies in the right corner. :]
Some snapshots of my "office". Very comfortable.
And finally....
Posters! All MINE! :D
There you have it.. my room. *Yawn.
Random: Picture Perfect
I've never been the type of person to fall for photos that completely envision just a person as the main focus. I've always been one to like photography that included lifeless objects, that we happen to use everyday. I'm quite tired of "photographers" now a days, but Andre Talbot caught my attention with these photos.
In this photograph you see here, we have a school bus, yes cheese bus, but all in all, we have a great example of a lifeless object that seems living and vibrant all on it's own. The cloudy sky just sets the mood for a perfect setting.
Here we have a beautiful snow day. Andre captures the person with ease, causing us to first explore the person then work our way around the image. Pure beauty I might add, picture perfect. :]

Poetry: Color Me..
Color me in tint & stain my skin
For I want to be one with your wind
As your wind slides through my hair
Making love to my scalp
Sending chills down my neck to my back,
Color me.
Color me grey, color me black,
Color me in colors that colors do lack
Color me white & call me your crack
Making me your addiction
Because your anti-drug I cannot be..
So please, oh please, just color me.
Color me red, color me yellow,
Color me blue, oh my dear fellow
Color me love, make my legs like jell-o
Color me purple like a deathblow.
Color me green like the grass
Color me pink like the meadows.
Color me brown like the ground
Or grey like the stone on the mound..
Please, oh please, just color me,
Because stained in your colors I want to be.
<3

Random: Kanye x Bape x Super Mario
So.. as a gift to my bf, I decided to do a collabo art piece on his favorite musical artist: Kanye West.
In this collabo I included my boyfriend, Kanye's "Good Morning" lyrics, the Graduation album artwork, some bape art, the 808's & Heartbreak Kanye bape art, some musical notes, a DJ set, and finally of course: Super Mario.

Here are a few snapshots:
This is my boyfriend.
The Kanye West bear w| musical notes.
A DJ set with "Beats" earphones. & "Good Morning" lyrics in the background.
Some Super Mario World objects as well as the 808s & Heartbreak heart with the "Beats" earphones.
Which implies: "Listen to the beat of my heart."
And here is the full piece. Kind of blurry. -_-
Enjoy!
