TEXAS TOUGH

vintage DIY holey shredder crop tee, vintage DIY destroyed slasher shorties, DIY leopard headwrap, H&M studded fringe bucket bag/bracelets, Gee Wa Wa boots from Shop Spanish Moss, vintage cross necklaces, random rings, Target socks and vintage bangles

So I'm having the time of my life in NYC but deep down inside I miss my boy. I thought YAAAAAY FREEDOM...Mama gets to do whatever the fuck she wants! WRONG!!! I see now that being a Mom is what I want...it makes me happy...and that's okay. I use to think maybe I'm obsessed with my own kid since I don't know any Moms personally who would give up their own life for their baby the way I do. My own Mother was like that. She could give a flying fuck about us!! (Does anybody else secretly hate their Mom?) I would NEVER do that to my son!! It breaks my heart just thinking about it. :(

On a lighter note...I have 4 more days left so instead of shedding tears I'm just going to make the best of the time I have left. I still have quite a few friends to meet up with, some I haven't seen in years! It's so weird how all the people  I loved in Texas and San Fran now live here. New York is where it's at if you want a lot of opportunities. I'm sooooo jealous of my bestie, Darine. Since I've been here she's done hair for Vice and Vogue!! You should check out her blog for all the other cool jobs she's picked up so far.

Anywho gotta run!

Like seriously for real for real I am having the time of my life and it's only been 2 days!!!! NY is sooooooo fucking chillax. Like I love how no one gives a fuck. FINALLY I'm surrounded by people with goals, ambition, dreams....I mean their own place for fuck sakes!! I  think I found my new home away from home. And my bestie has been the best hostess EVER! She's shown me sooooo much shit! 

I'm obsessed...it's going to be hard to go back! 

Thank you guys so much for joining me on this AWESOME journey! I love and adore you all! Old readers, newbies and haters. I am feeling the love and I hope you feel it back!!

Kisses,

I HAVE AN ATTITUDE!

(everything thrifted from head to toe except Gee Wa Wa boots)

vintage neon crochet shawl cape, vintage DIY holey Betty Boop tee, DIY leopard headwrap, Gee Wa Wa boots from ShopSpanishMoss, vintage crochet bag with customized fringe by me, vintage multi cross necklace, oversized turquoise cross necklace from Darine, vintage bangles and random rings

So your going to have to beat, stab and torture me to pry these boots from my dead body. Cause that the only way I'm taking them off. Like HOLY SATAN these are the most comfortable shoes I've slid my feet in in years!! Shit felt like memory foam in there...like fashionable house shoes!! Perfect for all the walking I like to do.

Anywho it's hot as hell in Tejas, hahaha and I'm wearing a fucking sweater, but it's hitting the 100s right now. I've officially given up on pants, shorts, whateves! Yeah I'm doing the no pants dance, sue me, IT'S HOT!! The best way to stay cool is rig up your own DIY holey tee. All you need is a tee with a sweet 90s logo/icon and cut the shit outta it. Thank you UNIF/Nasty Gal for the inspo!!

Well I'm going to be swamped from the next week since I'm unpacking my house and packing for NY at the same time. I feel lost without my son since he's gone to Austin til August for baseball camp, TEAR!! It's going to be extremely weird without my sidekick but at least I can live it up on my trip knowing my son is enjoying himself. 

Well I gotta go...lunch and thrifting with Teresa! Going to try out my video making skills since I like to DIY everything, lol! 

Thank you...much love!

HOT DAYS & GRAINY NIGHTS

So I started taking pics earlier in the day but it was way too fucking hot to be outside in 100 degrees weather with a goddamn nylon overcoat on. I was sweating so hard it looked like my body was crying tears!!  I decided wrap it up and finish things later that night. I loved the orange grainy effect the street lights gave off. The hardest part was trying to capture my skin tone in the dark light. Yes you can't see black people in the dark, lol! I'm definitely going to work on doing more night shots! It was quiet, peaceful and most of all NO LOOKY LOOS! It's okay to watch me take pics but it's crossing the line when you're in my personal space talking to me. I'M WORKING HERE, FUUUUUUUCK!

My week has been going AWESOME and I should have some items up in the store today. I'm little rusty since I left my measurements on my desk at the studio which should be okay for most items. Since it's all oversized shit. I'll have it fixed on Monday, wonk wonk!

Love you all soooo much! Thanks for hanging in there with me while I go through some minor changes in my personal life (moving, mom stuff, store). I will definitely be posting more once I get situated. Ugh LIFE!

Kisses bitches,

Virgin

DEADISH

(everything thrifted from head to toe)

vintage Marilyn halter dress, vintage DIY leopard platform maryjanes, DIY floral crown, vintage oversized cross necklace, Items by Johanna multi cross necklace worn as a body chain and fringe floral shawl

Growing up dark skinned was pretty hard cause I got picked on and called names like Blackie, Mudface, etc. But I've grown to learn that it's my #1 asset...other than my face, ass and legs, hehe! Nowadays I pose in shadows to make my skin look even darker. Weird but I want to be black as fuck!! Do they have spray tan for that?? Hahaha just kidding!

Anywho my inspo for this look came from Spanish Moss' new FW11 collection...DUH!  I just wanna be dipped in all their shit! The bells the have coming out next season are INSANE!!

So I was just fucking around but WOW her makeup is exquisite! I'm actually too scared to wear a lot of makeup cause I have a very hard and angular face. (I can cut you with my jawline!) So I always feel trannified or manly when I cake it on! Oh the life of an insecure blogger, wonk wonk!

Well I got the keys to my place and I'm slowly moving in. It's going to be weird not having 2 places to live but a bigger place is sooooo worth it. Do you know what it's like to have 1 shoe at separate locations and looking for both of them? DIEl!!

Well before I go just have to say THANK YOU for all the support from the other bloggers out there who have written about, linked or added me to their blog roll. It really humbles me to see I inspire others with my vintage craziness!

Kisses,

Virgin
