LIFE IS A GRAY SHADE, IT'S UP TO YOU TO BRING THE COLOR

This morning I woke up to heavy rain pouring outside of my window, I dress to express, so I immediately concluded I was gonna wear dark colors, go to school and that's it. I stretched, like I do every morning. Hopped in the shower, hopped out, reached for my towel, wrapped myself up in my towel (my towel is yellow, my hair is yellow, I am yellow; hence, I chuckle every time I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror). *fast forwards* I get to looking for my jeans ( Not much to look for; I only have 10 pairs and out of those 10 pairs, I still wear 2 of 'em ) and came across my tie-dye pants! I've had these since I was ummmmm 8 years old and they still fit. Then, I had an epiphany. I was like fuck, I'm already sick and I look it, I can't go to school wearing dull colors. I willfully threw on my tie-dye pants. At first, I didn't plan on taking pictures, but swear every morning, I get ready to get ready for my sister to get ready. ( I hope you followed that ) ha! Anyway doe, peep game:


As soon as I stepped outside, the sun started shining. lol. I grabbed my umbrella in preparation of a long gloomy, dull day, but noooo. My pants are the reason the sun came out. Pfffffft.


I hate being sick. *sigh*







The temperature went from 50 degrees to 70 ...-___- I'm dying in this jacket. I just knew I should've worn a crop top under this jacket. I have on a long sleeve sweater.

TRUE LIFE: I HATE CLUBS

Nah, I love the nightlife and all but there's really no place in my heart for clubs. It's not a place that I have ever looked forward to being at.lol not to sound morbid or anything but, well wait, maybe it's just the clubs that I've been to. The idea of being surrounded by sweaty, ill behaved individuals (for the most part), not to mention it's a primary hunting ground for the human male variation of DOGS! Guys grabbing you, girls who are reluctant to take showers before heading to the club, ugh just bad vibes man, bad vibes. lol that brings me to these pictures, I don't go to clubs, therefore, I do not own club attire. An acquaintance of mine dragged me to the club some time last November. blah! Can't believe I did not post this pictures...ummm, in a more prompt manner. Ooops!



I'm so considerate, huh? I just knew you guys wanted to see photos of my crotch!

lol while I was at the club, this photographer approached me for a picture and I refused him and he mumbled, "oh, so you think you're a celeb, huh?" Muhfucka, get outta here; I don't want to remember this night. Shit! Besides, I got my own camera. If I want a photograph, I'll take one my-own-damn-self!

ONE SWEET DAY

These were photographed the same day I recorded "Royal Ramble vol. 2" lol EYE would link you to it buuutttt, I'm shy about anybody seeing that video lol and I'm lazy AND you could exercise your index finger by exploring my blog further (to the first timers :D )
Anyway doe, having fun in your closet is essential. It makes it easier for you to put together outfits for outings 'cause you've already tried certain pieces together. Ya know? At least, that's one way I see it. Plus, I get bored a lot....seemingly. lol



My arms look short as heck! ewww lol well, my upper arm does.


That mustard scarf always finds some way to sneak into my outfits. sheesh, there's no escaping it. I think it's probably 'cause for some time, I wanted a mustard scarf, my aunt got me one for Christmas a year ago and the abuse began since then. ha!

MUSIC IN MOTION [CHELSEA ROOM x MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ]

Can't believe I never posted this set of photos!!! These are from when I went home for Christmas break; my older brother is a club promoter so he dragged me to The Chelsea Room one night when actress Michelle Rodriguez was said to be a guest DJ!!! You all should be familiar with Michelle from movies like Fast and Furious and Machete; she's so "bad ass". I felt like a super fan just walking up to the DJ booth, snapping these pics and walking away...lol
Oh but before I post those, check out this violinist! She was amazing, playing in between the DJ's sets:







Excuse the chaotic nature of my hair, I had a hat on for Christ's sake!!!
Isn't he handsome? Good times at the Chelsea Room, much love to my big bro for dragging me along.

SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICK-CHA!

I'm infatuated with polaroids mainneee! Seeing as I don't have a computer at the moment ( Y'all are probably tired of me whining and complaining about it ha! tough ), I had my little sugar plum "polaroidize" these pictures for me! Don't they look awesome? Anyways, notice the photograph where I have a picture of my outfit collaged with a picture of me wearing the actual outfit? Yeah, I believe I just started a trend with that. It came to me in the wee hours of the morning. I'm taking my pictures like that and also I'm planning a photo shoot where I'll do the same for my models! Can't wait ^-^
The first two pictures are ollllld, my friend just sent them to me. :D I love 'em and the rest are from yesterday morning!



I was apparently caught off guard! hence, my facial expressions







I don't have classes on Tuesdays, hence the "relaxed" look. What am I talking about? I always dressed "relaxed" lol I be chilling.

VIDEO: RAPHAEL SAADIQ x "GOOD MAN"

Raphael Saadiq "GOOD MAN" from Isaiah Seret on Vimeo.

Phenomenal is not a befitting term for the overall outlook of this film. Yes, I called it a film. It can easily be regarded as a short film considering the performance of the actors. Yaya the model!!! You see her? She did an amazing job, how she mustered up those tears and made it appear so genuine. Ugh, tell me you didn't feel every single emotion conveyed in the whole 4 minutes and 45 seconds of this video? Kudos to the director Isaiah Seret! Enjoy!

UNTANGLED

We are in 2011, yet I'm still posting pictures from 2010.


There's more pictures from this mini photo session. I'll update this post at a later time (:
I know you guys see Photobucket holding my photos hostage, huh? My apologies, my photos will be back up soon. the reason you can't see 'em is because with a free account, photobucket has a limited amount of views and once you exceed that view, it seizes your pictures and blah blah blah. It'll be back.

BORED AS HELL & I WANNA GET ILL

The title are lyrics from the late Eazy E, in case you ain't know so. I promise you, I attempted to blog before my 1:00 class and failed. I believe it's because music and food was not in the equation. 1:00 class, a measley pack of Oreos and a bottle of pepsi later, I'm here ...on the blogosphere, updating. ^_^ lol anyways, I'm back at school in NC...blah. These photos are from my weekend in NY. I had a busy morning on Monday, afterwards, I had some Jamaican for lunch (yum! that was my sole goal while I was in NY, by the way. I don't think NC has any Jamaican restaurants) I planned on spending the rest of the day with a friend but I was absolutely drained. Ended up staying at home and chillen with my sister Sal and watching tv. You prepurred for the visuals? ...You sure?




Lounging in true Teff fashion





lol I think these was taken at the peak of my state of boredom.




swag!!! ^^^ lol didn't do that on purpose, by the way.




Got curry chicken for the first time; I usually get the ox tail. yum yum!
Yep, that's the wrap up of my Monday...well, partly.
The end. (:
