Fly like J.Lo
Or singin' 'Baby' like Shanti'
I barely comb my hair
Yeah that's on a good day
I don't care what the hood say...
I aint' street like Keyshia
Aint never tried to be
And I got soul in my soul
But not quite like Mary
Aint' nothin' really R&B about me
And I said bump what the hood say...
I'm sorry I aint' in the Benz's in my videos
I'm sorry I aint' even really tryin' to match my clothes
I can tell you paid a figure for McQueen digs
But I can also tell you who the king dealer is
And I got knowledge if you really wanna talk about it
No I don't dress the part just to walk around it
So I'm writing this letter to the industry
It says 'F*CK YOU' signed: Sincerely ME
Aww damn...here we go again
Be more like them?
But everything I'm NOT
Makes me everything I AM..."
"Fashion For Life" started today, and as soon as the Bourke White sim opened I BOLTED to the Willow booth. Weezy Warwillow is one of my favorite content creators, and I always look forward to new and exclusive pieces from her. I grabbed this SUPERBLY constructed wrap dress and her EXQUISITE beaded cardigan (which I'll be showing you in a near-future post.) I love how highly detailed and REAL her garments look. If the RL fashion brands 'Laura Ashley' and 'The Gap' merged and brought a brand to SL, they would offer the design aesthetic of Willow. Weezy is another of those KEY designers that isn't trying to get rich selling her work; it's clear that she LOVES what she does, and it's more and more obvious with every piece she constructs. The hair I'm wearing is from [kik], and in the hour or so I wore it around FFL I was asked about it 3 separate times. It's quite lovely, just what I needed to showcase my new KILLER headpiece from NHA!, a newer shop boasting SUERIOR accessories and jewelry. And in closing, let me take the opportunity to thank riri bazar and lisbeth gummibaum @ 'HATE ME AND EAT ME' for offering and sending me TONS of makeup and poses. All poses in this post are their work and I'm ETERNALLY grateful for their recognition, generousity and LOVE. It makes me feel so good to know that my often "left field" stylings are appreciated, and that it's still chic to be an INDIVIDUAL...

ReplyDeleteThank you Astrid=) Everything @ kik is really nice.
ReplyDeleteJennifer=) Thanks for your kind words, you don't know how much I appreciate them...I try and give shine to places that are a little less known whenever I can. Who wants to teleport into someplace and be wearing the same things as EVERYBODY else?
ReplyDeleteThank you Ms. Galli=) Music and fashion are really important to me, glad you're enjoying the blog=)
