1.So you ever notices that I have yet to announce via Beautifully Deep that I am in Fashion School. To tell the truth I just realized that shit my self. I swear I finished my draping final(a DVF/Norma Kamali Hybrid that got shot down and evolved into something a little more Calvin Kelin-esk) and literally looked around and was like "Oh wow, Im a fashion student!" The reason is a combination of the fact that many dont make it, and me just being severly jaded. Im not in LALA land, on cloud 9 or any of that, it just took me the whole entire semester to get acquainted with the city, the school and most importantly myself. I looked up 12 days into vacay and realized that I have to go back to school in just a few short weeks. Im not ready. People sleep on fashion but I suggest they watch that scene from The Devil Wears Prada because she so eloquently and brutally(the latter being my favorite.....yall know me) explains what fashion is. Its largely the result of experience but definalty the result of training.

Its far more than magazines and shopping, its colors and patterns, and research and exposure and over exposure, and pushing and pushing and pushing and when your at the edge of the cliff, you have to jump the fuck off.....and maybe mid plumit, you might strike upon something otherwise your headed for the bottom, hard. Then you get back up and run the race all over again. I definately cried alot more than I normally do during this semester and all nighters turn into doubles(48 hour strectches) all so you can show up to class and get a "Generally good.....but do again" We all know fashion is not forgiving. Yeah people sleep, cause the work load and intensity is above and beyond on some law/med school type shit.

But alas I have completed my first semester and at the end I have created garments that I am truely proud of. Im official with that fashion shit. I will jump off the bridge and say that. Ask me, I know a lil bit and though my stlye might not be for you....thats still cool cause by design...it aint for everybody.

2. Christmas was good but not what I wanted. Yall know Im a Christmas Freak and If it were up to me I would have had the place decked out with trees and wreaths and shit but given the high cost of fabric and notions I had to scale it down, to damn near non esistance. Plus yall know Christmas just aint christmas without the one you love,(Mazoltov Bitches...I know some of yall dont want to hear that). I kept it gangsta and stayed focues on school until it was over which was just a few days before the holiday anyway. Dipped south for a brief second, very brief (sorry I didnt get to see many of you but I will be back in VA soon) and came back to work in NY(Yall know I got that Jamaican work virus...gotta keep a job and an hour is not just an hour its a billable hour...somebodys got to pay!)

3. New Years was cool, last minute but cool none the less. I chilled with some quietly amazing people and had a good time just toasting the New Year. Sorry no pictures, but yall know how I dispise pictures from the club where your hair is all fucked up and you look like you decided to jog a few miles then hit up the party spot. I hope a few of you made resloutions to put a stop that shit, cause you dont look cool! NOTE TO BITCHES!

4. I thought of making resloutions this year but was ever so frankly reminded that a day will not change my wayward mind and heart. So no resolutions even though at 10:30 12/31/07 I just knew that nothing would get in the way of me being at work at 12:50 the following day! Needless to say I was late, not even my normal infraction of 30 min, but severly....try an hour and a half. (stop shaking your head).

I started thinking about it. I was once told that I was in love with ideas, which is entirely true. I just took a cue from cupid but now I KNOW it was stupid....Im not sorry though!
