Rihanna on VOGUE

I say its tough. Shit, she just won me with this one. Excuse my French, but they DO Not have anything on this island girl.She is going to "Run This Town" tonight.
Cheque the Cover. I wonder what is inside. Hopefully she gets about 10 pages, because this is serious.

Chained Up shoes.. So Sturdy

Chains that lock your shoe warehouse, now help you keep a stride. So strong, so resistant. Well, actually
Tove Jansson & Per Emanuelsson know if they are, they designed them.
Would you rock these, or keep them chained to the back.?

Goat Hair Booties

Black 100% Suede platform bootie
with genuine goat hair trim, metal-clad inset platform sole/heel,
trianglular Clear Coat patterning throughout and side zip closure.

So who said that goat hair should belong on a shoe? Hmph.
Critics Say: Ahhh... I am not too sure. Maybe with an all White or Black outfit. This steals way too much attention.Especially at $1,095.000, it better steal attention.

Boot Camp with Bonney

Morning starts with bad breath and 10:37 AM is the time to prepare for the BYT: Boot Camp at Skyline Hotel.With much due respect, I must attend the event and show support, I am an intern for Tabi Bonney's Bonney Runway, and I have to pass out yellow "FRESH" buttons. They are named after his next CD " Fresh"


Location: SW, DC

Navy Yard Metro Station,  I ask for directions to the Capitol Skyline Hotel. A young fella with a Northface jacket tells me " take an immediate right, then a left at the CVS and McDonalds ". Questioning his answer, but I assumed he knew where he was directing me. It is 2 PM on the dot and I have walked about fifteen minutes into the city, I am now near the Nationals Baseball Stadium; not a person insight to help me. Sunglasses down and cellphone out as I use my GPS too guide me to home base. Sweaty palms as i hold my phone and walk another ten minutes to the hotel.

The inside of the hotel devours chic and modern.
Inside of Skyline Hotel

Individuals lurk to the pool as the DJ is playing " She Said"  by The Pharcyde and the melodies set the mood for an anticipated performance. Sunscreen is sprayed as sunglasses are put on, the sun is at its highest peak. Its surely about 97 degrees and the tall servers are bending over as they take drink orders. " Miss, can I get you anything?" No, just water please.
Tastes so smooth and cold, as it disappears into my mouth. I have always wondered why water was so good, but so plain.

As you enter the deck area, water is splashed and people of pale skin tones and caramel colors are afloat.  hot pink and orange lounge chairs scattered everywhere.
Chit chatter is a must, not a sole is still.
Left to right, is a bathing suit, polka-dotted and solid. Fake palm trees and Sour Amaretto drinks are surrounding the pool. It must be the new thing.

A new scent has arrived as new crowd enters the pool area. Orange couches are now available. The shade is a beautiful thing. I held onto it as long as I could, the sun is getting sleepy as we are just getting started. 5:01 PM, my friend notices some dishes of food. Grilled chicken with mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and its bun. Very tempting I must say. Aroma of sweat leaks in the air as my boss, Tabi Bonney,  gets ready to perform.

"Rich Kids" - Video.. A song he perform @ BYT
 
It is 5:43 PM, August 29, 2009 and Tabi Bonney just finished bouncing around the rim of the pool.
An applause is louder than the airplane that passes over us, he did well. Now its time for me to find my way back to the metro, before the heavy showers pour.

Back to the Blog World

I've recently sat in rooms full of peers as my professors lecture about my everyday surrounds. I am somewhat naive to the news and more intrigued by music and fashion. This what entertains me, sadly, as some see it.

This past week I was told to create or complete a blog. I have done so., and now I must post to it with "What"?
Not too sure, but I will be posting assignments from my class "Writing in the Media".

But do not shy away from my "Modelisque Lifee" I will be sharing info on events and other such things that I know about or attend.


Fashionably & Sincerely Yours...
