Atlanta International 6thYear Of Fashionable Trendy Treats!!!

As July 24, 2012 rolled in quickly our team of passionate models, event coordinators, and directors were preparing for an amazing fashion show filled with a week of iconic fashion trends. From July 24th-29th our schedule offered style and class while delivering the experience to network with international designers, models, stylists, media, and sponsors. Our line up from the elegant Hotel Indigo to 200 Peachtree in effort to show our support for national charity organizations featured nearly 30 couture designers to display their latest looks. Since I myself am a shoe fiend, I was very impressed by one particular designer who's shoes were distinctively, not the average glass slipper...  You can certainly go check out some of this designers shoes online if you are looking for something to call your own! Ladies you know how we do "we want something no one else has" Imitation by Jerell is a perfect way to tell people "You ain't seen these before"!!! www.imitationbyjerell.com

The Pretty Academy school of  Fashion served the purpose to allow industry experts to show us how to make our fashion dreams into reality with a series of workshops with fashion, model boot camp, and extreme style make-overs by Motives for La La and the Beauty Shop. After training with Professional Model trainer Mike Jones in boot camp, I must say that I saw the models enjoy and express their improvement on the runway and behind the cameras. For the most part, some of our models unfortunately could not join us for our after party engagements but I hope that next year we can surely make them a part of the exciting night life here in Atlanta, GA. Our models came from all directions over the US and also from other countries their time and dedication to Atlanta International Fashion Week was most appreciated. If it wasn't for our fabulous designers such as Celebrity Designers Jason Christopher Peters, Sacred Heart Collections, Simply Beautiful Designs, Black Russian Label, Hyper Haute, J Rok Coture, and Nelson Arrington this show couldn't have gone on, but of course this list goes on and many others. AIFW was most amiable for all of the fashion trends featured. The kid models of L.A.H.A. for kids made the runway their own playground with extreme swag! I have to personally list two of my favorite designers were La'Moo Designs and Navoj Studios because when it was time to bring it they brought extraordinary in my book!

Most Importantly Thanks To Sponsors like Fashion In The City, Future Visions, Aveda Institutes South, Digital Fashion Group, and many, many, more.... My experience and opportunity to network with the best of the best in the fashion industry was an inspiration. A learning experience I will take with me as I grow more passionate about a leading industry that is ever evolving when it comes to the latest trends.

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder...

Before I go into this article I want you to ask yourself a deep question, who is the beholder of MY beauty? Prior to my stroke of enlightenment I was into making my image match to those of what I was conditioned into thinking "this is the look that makes me acceptable to society". I've had the learning experience of modeling for 15+ years and my appearance was always important, constantly wearing weaves and at one point I tried skin bleaching for experimental purposes. When I looked at the magazines and video models or even television showed the reflection of what they wanted me to think I should look like as a natural black woman. Which always appeared to be the total opposite of my content as an African/ Native American woman, and for the most part to being on the cover of a magazine required me to look the part of what they find acceptable the sleek straight hair, curly, or permed high yellow red bone with nice boobs and voluptuous curves. Even the petite models had a certain look that they had to maintain to grace the covers. In the course of time I had to reflect on not only all the money I was putting into looking like someone else but also WHO am I really trying to be? and I hated my hair for no reason because it was strong, thick, and kinky.  I thought about how many natural black women I really see on magazines and certainly did my research, nothing shocked me about how something I was never really used to seeing was never there to encourage me to embrace what the good LORD had given me "Good Strong Hair". I realize I wanted to burn it chemically straight, hide it under a wig, intertwine it with someone else s hair to make the fit. All the while I'm losing MYSELF and my money in in something I was already blessed with "originality". So I asked myself why in the hell would I want to copy someone Else's image to make myself  worthy of acceptance. I am who I am because God made me that way.

And the last time I checked none of those people were MY makers. I freed myself by saying they can love me naturally because this is what makes me ME or they can create the lies and deceit that goes through time making others think this is the only way to be IN. Embracing my hair, skin, and body has been  a burden lifted off of me, as a matter fact I take pride in who I AM more so now today because I don't have to prove to anyone I'm IN. God didn't neglect the fact to show me that I am beautiful just the way I was created giving me the strength to discipline and love myself  regardless of what I see on a magazine or television. I think it's disappointing to not see as many beautiful authentic black women gracing the media, it sure would help the younger generation appreciate genuine real people instead of trying to copy paste the same scene that's had us lost for so long. If you don't like me for what I was made to be, talk to my Creator and I'm sure the quote can be found in the King James version bible "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them". I see a lot of black women allowing someone else to "Behold"<<  (Word Origin & History) form)) their beauty changing and conforming them into the image others see fit for them. If that's in your nature to do so, by all means continue to do what's best for YOU, in the process of it all I just ask that you hold on to what's really you as much on the inside being (that is if you know exactly who you are) as well on the outside. I would say this picture made me think really hard about do I really want to look like a white woman? I'm just saying, not judging she may want to but I don't and I damn sure don't want my daughter to take on the same trait. She should be a proud black woman confident in her skin and hair for what it was meant to be naturally!!!! CAN'T PULL THE WOOL OVER MY EYES ANY LONGER....making me to be something I was never meant to be was never in ALMIGHTY GOD'S PLAN but I do have something much greater and that's a PURPOSE!   They're glamorous, but natural isn't.....  PLEASE!!!

"The Living Goddess" Book By: Linda Johnsen *My Review

"The Living Goddess" By: Linda Johnsen

I have to say that is book was one of the most inspiring books and highly enlightening, I stumbled upon this book not expecting it was going to bring me some of the most important answers I needed as a woman, "As a Goddess". I would have to say it was meant for me to read. It was so divine how my was path drawn out to attain this particular book. The Living Goddess was written by Linda Johnsen, this is a spiritual book, a guide to live with God more intimately.  You have to understand that everything has a history, it's a big world out here so why not find out the mysteries of Who YOU are? Through many Hindu traditions as well as others one of my favorites being the Egyptians taught the acknowledgement of The Mother Of the Universe. To my surprise she is everywhere alive in you and me as we go through day to day life it's hard to realize this when society and other influences try to pull the wool over your eyes. Mother Earth is always producing giving and taking life for the full circle of life to be fulfilled.  Like, the Goddess Lakshmi who is always associated with her husband a God Vishnu, he was knowledge and she was understanding, the very ying to her yang. I love their story because it teaches even though they were together they act on their own. There is a widely accepted myth that all human societies should consider the male principle active and the female principle passive! One does not work without the other this world is based upon True or False and Yes or No rarely no vivid details just black and white because it's easier to make you comfortable thinking that way. This book not only lists the many Goddesses who were forgotten and wiped out for Western Culture reasons, but it also extends the explanation of  why it's important to raise self-awareness in such confusing times as these. It teaches meditation methods that the yogis use to free yourself from the cycle of karma. Which goes along with be careful what you think  it's almost just as bad as acting upon it. So we have to learn how to carry out our rightful responsibilities in this world without polluting by claiming any award. I have several things I can talk about with this book it is so enlightening, for instance the explanation of  when a male devote makes love to a woman, he should free his mind from lust, contemplating her beauty as my own and her soul as my own self. It goes on to say For him, sexual union should be a glorious meditation on the Goddess. The pleasure he experiences is; my pleasure let him recognize this.A woman should envision her lover as the Lord himself, perfect and blissful. Of course you can't connect with everybody like this because in lust it has an beginning and end. Just enjoyment based on the conscious acknowledgement of my all pervading  perfection is endless. There are some phenomenal word passages that became poetry to my soul as I read them, directly spoken from the Goddess herself. The most intriguing story that caught my interest was how much love Lila had for her husband, and how she called upon Goddess Sarasvati for some pretty unbelievable request, granted she was very devoted and Sarasvati appeared to show her compassion and explain to Lila the power of consciousness. The Living Goddess reveals some breathtaking knowledge towards the end of the book it gives explanation of the Goddess and how deception began in the Garden of Eden. When I saw "Elohim" by way of Adam and Eve I knew these were some of the big answers I was looking for. This book was liberating with hidden information most people don't want you to know which is why it's history was thrown out and basically dominated to the belief system of what "THEY" want you to believe. I made a vow to myself that "THUNDER, PERFECT MIND" would be the very script I say to myself everyday! It was preserved among the manuscripts found in Egypt, it represents the Goddess Isis. I have come to realize she is in me and I am in her the power to give life, still my thoughts, meditate, and be against all the odds in the world but still remain in knowledge, wisdom, strength, and beauty without an ounce of doubt because I know who I AM....Do you know who YOU are?  I will read this book again and again just because it encourages and inspires acknowledging the transformation I feel growing inside of me everyday as I reclaim the tradition of  The Mother Universe.

Watch The Video You Be The Judge!!! Is it His-Story or History?

DEAR DIARY.....THIS MORNING!

I awoke this morning to a feeling of anger. I didn't understand it so much until my thought process begin to overtake me with why? I asked God why and it dawned on me that through all of the things I am going through and being tested with I had no one to hold me at night and ensure me that everything is going to be alright. And it wasn't so much that I couldn't find or have anyone to do so, it's as if there's not one person in this universe who could really understand the battles I have in order to maintain a strong mind to fight alone. Like I said I don't even know why I woke up angry, I just know I'm grateful everyday for God keeping me in my right mind. Which is driving me mad for whatever reason sometimes I feel like I deserve that significant other who is loyal and honest, I ask God why is this process taking so long? I'm not a perfect woman but my intentions are built on doing what's right for the sake of me and mine. I think it comes to a point in your life when you've gone through enough, that you aren't even afraid anymore. Courage to continue and stand takes over you and people begin to be afraid of you just know the battle just gets harder. I have no one to help me take breaks, take a load off. The people I have chosen or who have been placed in my life from birth until now are the cards I've been dealt. There is no doubt in my mind that this has already been written> God don't make mistakes we learn from them and move on. What really bothers me is for people to act like they know it all, because in a split second things could change your life instantly.This is chess whatever pawn you are on the play board is optional, but who's team you play ( only 2 sides in chess) on is the big question. If I told you my story you would ask me how I even have "sanity" I'm not on drugs to cope, I'm not out here killing and stealing, I'm not lying and abusing. With everything left in me I am fighting for purpose while all of these things were used through my trials to keep my spirit bound. Meanwhile, I try to teach my seeds a "history" that was stolen from me. I learn everyday a new piece of me that makes sense in such a powerful way, it gives me every reason to believe and know I was created to be this strong black virtuous  woman in such a powerful way so that it's going to only  take a certain kind of MAN/ SUPPORT system to hold me down.What makes it hard for me to believe if there's any support brave enough for black women period is the weakness I see everyday, and it's because they themselves don't know who they are. They let what is seen visually, materially and not seen spiritually  take over that's within. And I think to myself " they can't possibly know their own strength". I look at women and men everyday, and I've looked at myself from past & present experiences asking myself is this how I want my children to lead or be lead? I asked myself can I really do this by myself or do I even want to?  There are forces out here that don't want me to, so as long as I see the design for what it is. Expressing myself with my gifts and talents hoping  that one day a voice loud and clear will awake the people I care most about to come to terms with the reality of the hate that has conditioned us into this whole dilemma. But then I realize that the saying "many are called, but few are chosen" is not just a saying but a fact and being chosen is God Given. When you know that you're chosen they will try to take everything away from you when you ain't got shit, just to try and make you look like you ain't shit. But when people around you look at you the light tells it all. I realize I may be IN this world, but I am NOT OF this world. Even when you try to knock me down by taking my most prized possession (which is not even a thing btw) it takes the strength of a Goddess to hold it together to remind the enemy who has placed a crown over MY head. The eyes are the quickest way to see into the soul and when I opened my eyes this morning I wondered how long it was going to take the disagreeables to figure out there are 3 more sets of eyes out there just like mine which equals 6+3 insightful ones which boils down to "NINE ETHER" AND I THINK THERE'S NO WAY I CAN BE AFRAID FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH TO TRY AND TAKE WHAT WAS AND NEVER WILL BE YOURS TO HAVE. BY STRENGTH YOU HATE TO SEE  THE SUPREME BEING WITHIN ME IT SHALL ALL BE RETURNED TO ME!!!!

HOW YOU NEGROS TALK YOURSELF OUTTA THA PUSSY!

Current mood:aggravated

NOW IF YOU READ THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOES AND LADIES WHICH IS UNDER THIS BLOG...THEN YOU GET A GOOD IDEA OF WHO YOUR DEALING WITH WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PROCESS. FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY I HATE NEGROS WHO BE TRYING TO MAKE THE FIRST IMPRESSION BY TAKING YOU OUT TO A MOVIE AND DINNER. AND THEN AFTER THE FIRST DATE YOU EXPECTING BECAUSE YOU TOOK ME OUT AND SPENT A LIL CHANGE YOU THINK YOUR ENTITLED TO THE PUSSY ON THE NEXT ROUND. I MEAN THAT LITERALLY "CHANGE"....REMEMBER A REAL WOMAN DOESN'T NEED A MAN TO TAKE HER TO THESE PLACES IT'S NICE TO HAVE ONE DO SO  FOR YOU. YES, GLADLY APPRECIATED BUT DON'T GET IT TWISTED BOO. IT'S NOT THAT EAASSSY!!! FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU MAY BE THINKING THAT SHIT TURNED ME ON. (NO BOO NO...)
Secondly, I can't stand a negro who's staying with a bitch and for whatever reason he's not getting enough pussy at home. He thinks he can just make you the sideline chick.

 No Nigga No!!!  Ladies Do Not Accept this bullshit! This negro is lame as hell and if I were you i would be that bitch who gives him a dose of his own medicine. 

See pussy is power, if you got a smart head on your shoulders then you use his ass for only one purpose. Whatever purpose you choose that's on you... Just be happy at the results at the end of the day. I'm NOT judging. LOL

 But do not involve feelings because at the end of the day he's going home to the stupid bitch that's taking care of his weak, lame ass!

 Just make sure he never steps outta line with you and he knows his place. 

Because for whatever reason they may think once they hit , that pussy belongs to him. Remember You Did NOT sign any pussy rights over to this fool... Who would he's a cheater?....

That is if you know you got that come back...But your not obligated to do shit for him

 only whatever and whenever you feel @ the time. HE AIN'T SHIT BUT A LYING ASS 

DIRTY DOG SO TREAT HIM LIKE WHAT HE ENJOYS BEING...IT'S ONLY FAIR!

Thirdly, there are one's that are just all out with it...you 

meet them in the club. Always wanna tell you what they 

wanna to do to ya...Or should I say do to what's between your 

legs. 

That shit ain't cute talking bout how you wanna lick this

and stick that. Yeah, I know we're here dancing and shit 

you may think I'm a freak by the way I'm grinding on

the dick... 

but that don't mean shit. It certainly doesn't mean I 

wanna give YOU, some of this pussy.

So sitcho ass down and try it with the next chick.

Yahh NASTY!  You're going to do it anyway.

I do respect you though because you're an 

all out with it dog. It's only when you are hiding you're 

ways that makes it disrespectful.

At least your not in denial like the

ones above this one....AKA the Cheaters!

 

Last, but certainly not least....the certified way to talk yourself out of the pussy is to just think every woman is the same...SHIT ME BOSS... 

I'm not the average chick. I say what I feel and do what the fuck I want to whether your ass like it or not. You can't change me just like I can't

 change you but I will tell you what I'm thinking, feeling, and doing without a doubt and don't owe you any explanation for shit. I said it 

before and will say it again, Only God can judge me. At the end of the day if I didn't say that I love you than I don't give a damn what you 

do, but you will respect me whether I love your ass or not. I only live once and my happiness only comes once in this lifetime.  

SOME LIKEM HOOD, SOME LIKEM SLUTTY, SOME LIKEM SMART, SOME LIKEM SEXY

SOME LIKEM CLASSY, SOME LIKEM GHETTO, SOME LIKEM FREAKY, SOME LIKEM DOWN, AND SOME LIKEM BITCHY....

YES THE LIST GOES ON WE ARE FULL OF VARIETY AND FLAVORS.   BUT NONE OF YOU WILL EVER GO WRONG WITH A REAL STRAIGHT UP CHICK! >NO SHADE

BUT HONESTLY NIGGAZ FLAVORS IS BECOMING VERY SCARCE NOW OF DAYS. LIKE THEY GOING OUTTA COMMISSION

ACTING LIKE THEY GOT THE BEST DICK IN THE WORLD WHEN THAT SHIT IS TRASH. BE CAREFUL I COULD BE TALKING ABOUT YOU.

 I THINK I WOULD KNOW IF HE SENT FROM HEAVEN GOD WON'T DEPRIVE ME OF NOT EVEN ONE ORGASM... GET IT TOGETHER MEN LIFE IS TO SHORT

(( IMA NEED ME A THOROUGHBRED BLACK MAN, YOU KNOW THE ONES THEY USED TO MAKE BACK IN THE DAY))

TOO MANY PUSSY'S WALKING AROUND AND I'M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S HARD TO FIND A GOOD MAN.....

FIND SOMEBODY REAL, WHO CAN HOLD YOU DOWN AND YOU CAN HOLD HER DOWN AS WELL.50/50  THIS SHIT AIN'T NO GAME OUT HERE! > STD'S ARE THOUGH. 

FOR SOME OF YOU IT IS...KEEP SHIT REAL THOUGH IT WILL TAKE YOU DOWN A LONG ROAD OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF SELF

AND BESIDES I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU CAN'T KEEP IT REAL WITH ME HOW CAN YOU KEEP IT REAL WITH YOURSELF?

 STOP RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES WITH THE BULLSHIT SOME OF US ARE LOOKING FOR REAL MEN >STRONG GODS & KINGS WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR TONGUE IS USE IT IN A MANNER THAT BLOWS MY MIND ALTHOUGH THE IDEA DOES INTRIGUE ME BUT THAT'S ALL
