FASHIONABLY LATE

So, my last post I felt as if I was just writing anything. Everything I write is straight from my brain, to my heart, to my computer to type. I was having a weird day and I was basically trying to force words to come out and somehow make sense. Though I was serious about what little bit I wrote, I wasn't completely focused or engulfed in my topic. My apologies for my lack of concentration or unfun "topic"! Now, on to the fun stuff.


Ok, so this blog is totally appropriate since I haven't written in a while, so I am pretty much FASHIONABLY LATE! Have I missed out on what's in or out, what's hot or not! Probably yes! Well let's have a bit of fun and talk FASHION.


Since it is the end of this very quick 2009 year, maybe I can try giving a run-down of what I felt were the coolest, trendiest, bravest, trends of all. My picks may not be your pick but that's the fun part because you get to see what I thought was hotness! Shall we begin?


ThE CoOlEsT

• Allow me to take a trip back to January, the beginning of the new year 2009. Think back when almost EVERYONE was rocking an Obama t-shirt, button, hat, even stickers on their cars! People were "Obama-ed" out with the new President's face everywhere. I thought it was pretty cool that this was a fashion statement that many agreed with. You wouldn't have butt heads with the person sitting next to you on the train if he or she had their Obama button on. You might have sat a little closer because you both were rooting for him! Let's face it, even after President Obama was sworn it, you rocked your t-shirt a little bit longer just to prove your Democratic spirit!
  


• Was it just me, or where I live that everyone wanted to look like Steve Urkel? Seemed that way. Whether I was at a club, or walking around downtown this summer, I saw mostly young men and women with these over-sized glasses, some didn't even have the lenses in them. I still don't know what that's all about but trust me, I've seen it! I thought it was cooler with the lenses in them and a hip outfit to match. Some might have had the Urkel glasses on with a short sleeved cotton Polo shirt and some skinny jeans on, and a cute pocketbook to match. I even saw some who went all the way with the suspenders and bow tie, with the exception of the highwater jeans the Steve Urkel character would wear. Whatever the case, some folks were feeling the nerd look. Ten years ago, their peers probably would have clowned them for dressing in such a way. But this year, looking like a nerd was cool.

ThE TrEnDiEsT

• I would have to say the trendiest style this year was Eyeshadow. Yes, eyeshadow. It may sound a little strange to some but truth be told, in my opinion a lot of people seemed to be taking chances and playing around more with their make-up. You're right, people have been jazzing up their make-up for years but to me, some were being a bit more bolder with their look for the face. Even if the shadow looked hideous, hey, at least they tried! But seriously, if you saw someone else's make-up that was on point, you might have wanted to try it out yourself. From using bright colors, to designing and creating an array of colors all together, people tried their hand at it. I'll admit, I played around with colors that I normally wouldn't wear as a shadow like reds, greens, and blues. I didn't even look hideous :-), it was fashionable for me, and for quite a few others.
  
• For some reason this year I enjoyed being tall. I am already tall, but I didn't mind being a few inches taller. That brings me to knee boots, or high heels in general. High heels were trendy and continue to be as this year comes to a close. Particularly this fall and the beginning of the winter, I enjoy rockin' my brown knee boots with small gold buckles along the side. I feel sexy, and sleek. For me, it adds a little more mmmph (not a word lol) to my appearance. From the winter this past January, all the way through the spring, summer, then fall, boots and heels in all capacities were ways to feel fabulous and stride with confidence. With all of the economic heartache and letdowns, wearing a pair of heels was the thing to do this year in order to feel above and beyond.

ThE BrAvEsT

• Even though I wasn't too keen on this fashion statement, I still felt it was a brave move. Remember when all of the celebrities and fans of celebrities were shaving one half of their heads and rockin' it like it was the best hairstyle since Britney Spears shaved all of hers off! At first I recall seeing "singer" Cassie shave the one side of her head, then it seemed the trend caught on. It was like EVERYONE with "half" a brain was doing it. Some even took to shaving almost all of it, then put those old school "MC Hammer" type barbershop lines in their heads to add a little more pizazz and spice. Honestly, some people I saw with the hairstyle simply looked ridiculous, while others I felt made it look close enough to being hot! Some may have agreed or disagreed with this style, but nevertheless, it had the reaction the person who was wearing the do' wanted it to have.....it drew attention! Good job, hair shavers!

• GaGa, Ooh Lala! Yes, Miss Lady Gaga is on my list! Talk about brave. This bright new star has made sure she shines and that you see her shine everytime she appears publicly. Her style is crazy, courageous, and creative. I can't even lie, I think somethings she wears is too cool. But then there are other times where I'm like, "What the......??" But to me, that's brave. You've got to be if you're going to go to MTV's VMA's with who knows what wrapped around your face. Come on, we all know she looked like a little kitten who got tied up in the red yarn, and couldn't figure out how to escape. But again, that's brave. To take the chances that she does, in my eyes, is saying something. Her fashion IS a statement of her personality and carefree style.

So, that raps up my fashionable picks for 2009. Of course there were tons of things to put on the list, but these were my choices!

Tear, the year is almost done! So long 2009. What will 2010 bring? Fashion I'm sure.

***Feel free to share your picks of the most fashionable of 09'.

'It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a dope blog for you to review!' That was my try at a little rhyming for my ridiculous absence from blogging. Yes, it has been a MONTH! I feel completely slackerish, probably not a word, but it's my blog so whatever, right? I have had all of the momentum and ideas to blog, but the words would not come out and my fingers wouldn't begin typing.

My mind has been full of so much stuff I can't even begin to explain it all, but it's been hard for me to express myself, very odd for me, because people who know me very well are aware that I don't hold a lot in. Well, enough of the excuses and forget-me nots, lets get down to it! I need to get somethings out.



So for starters, I've been thinking a lot about what inspires me and how I can incorporate that into my everyday life whether it be through clothes, writing, music or possibly a scrap book/photo album. Inspiration is a word that triggers so many things for me it's pretty crazy. But lets think about inspiration in terms of music.



Though, how can fashion relate to music? I'll return with my thoughts.

Fashion IS What's Up!

FASHION WEEK IN PHILADELPHIA!

Philadelphia is known for cheesesteaks, die-hard sports fans and an art museum with a set of stairs that only Sylvester Stallone can race up without losing his breath.

This month Philly has made an effort to become known for something new: Fashion Week.

The event, held Oct. 8-10, was packed with nothing but stylish activities and on Thursday Oct. 8, Philadelphia Fashion Week was already in full swing, a momentous occasion full of firsts.

Held at the Armory on 23rd Street, the city was on a full-blown style watch as student designers from local colleges and professionals from the Philadelphia area and beyond showcased colorful fabrics, high heels, makeup and tons of accessories. From the looks of the bright lights, cool runway and bar in the center of all the fabulousness, the night was off to a trendy start.

Arriving fashionably early, I was immediately immersed in the space as the band This is a Shakedown played, setting the mood. As I checked out the vendors selling merchandise, the designers were eager to speak with me.

I met Pat Marin of Delaware-based Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry . Marin was excited to be in Philadelphia for Fashion Week.

“I usually attend Fashion Week in New York, but when I was invited to come to this event I thought, why not?,” said Marin. “This is the first time it’s here and I’m glad I could be a part of this.”

Along with Marin there were other local designers looking to promote their businesses. Melissa Matarese, an emerging designer from the Philly area, displayed her eco-friendly, all-natural line Mesa Apparel & Accessories.

“I’m looking to get exposure in Philly and that’s why I’m here at Fashion Week,” said Matarese.
Psydde from Delicious Boutique & Corseterie, another local designer, explained “This is Philly’s first Fashion Week, how could I not be here?”

At 5 p.m. it was showtime! Industry pros and students alike gathered around the runway to view the latest fashions. As music played the models strutted to the beat and displayed the garments.

Student designers from Moore College of Art & Design and other area schools displayed their work and streetwear designers like Palmieri Jeans, Love Brigade, Brooklyn Royalty, Kill City and Wrath Arcane presented their lines with slogans like “Wear the Difference” and “Que Sera, Sera.”

The designs ranged from chiffon gowns to decorated skinny jeans, flannel shirts, vintage graphic t-shirts, nylon jackets and corsets. It actually amazed me how creative one can be with what may be considered a simple look. I left wanting to be craftier with my everyday appearance.

In an evening of firsts, Philadelphia Fashion Week set the standard for future shows. The next two nights’ events took on a similar format, with Philadelphia University design students participating on Friday and the Art Institute of Philadelphia’s students sharing their designs on Saturday.

There was no shortage of Philly-based designs walking the runway as Strangefruit, SA VA and Street Star Custom Clothing, among others, represented the city’s fashion community with pride.

As co-founder and Executive Director of DesignPhiladelphia (who is sponsored this year by Philly U’s design department) Hilary Jay notes on the organization’s website, “DesignPhiladelphia continues to be instrumental in raising the national reputation of Philadelphia as a city of change and innovation.”

Indeed, Fashion Week may be a change for the city, but this Philly’s ever-growing cultural support of community activities remains the same.

SCARF IT UP

Hello all! So it is a very windy Wednesday in my neck of the woods. The wind blew me much of today as I walked different places. I thought I was running late for work this morning, but in fact, the wind took me to my destination right on time :).

Anywho, let's get down to the good stuff.

Many of you may or may not be into beautifully woven scarves. Well, guess what? I am! This year I became heavily into scarves and I adore them. But it's not even just any kind of scarf, it's the woven, silk, cotton, or chiffon scarves that compliment many outfits. I love a scarf that has vibrant colors and is long in length, which gives you the ability to do a lot with the garment.

This past March I traveled to Guatemala with my now almer mater Arcadia University! I went there for a service learning trip that was A-mazing! There were many highlights from that trip, though I am only discussing the part that will pertain to this post. When I went to Antigua in Guatemala, it is a tourist spot where a lot of visitors in the country frequently come to. I went to a very interesting market that had tons, and I mean TONS of scarves. AND, these scarfs were handmade. Oh joy!

I was blown away by the culture in Guatemala and its Mayan themed markets. The colors and the fabrics were gorgeous. Of course I walked away with more than one! I couldn't help myself. After visiting Guate (as some of my classmates and I called it), I knew I had to find out more about these accessories. It turns out that many of the scarfs I purchased and saw are actually handmade/woven in the country. I have to look deeper into the tradition of wearing scarves in Guatemala, and I also want to look into India and possibly Africa.

Some may think of these kinds of scarves as simply something they throw around their necks, wrap around their bodies, or tie on their heads. To me, the Guatemalan scarfs that I have, are more than that. The texture of these pieces of material are quite comforting. Not even just Guatemalan scarves but ALL scarfs. Whether you bought it from H&M or Old Navy, appreciate the fabric.

Ta-ta for now!

ALL HAIL OCTOBER

Bonjour! So let's get right down to it. Is it just me, or should the weather for rest of the year be just as it is now.....gorgeous! Here in Philly it's been pretty fabulous weather, well the last few days anyway. Today was beautiful! The sun was shining so brightly and there was an odd crisp feeling in the air to me.

I felt as if this weather made me feel more active and happier. I've never been a "summer person" or a "winter person," I'm the type that gets a thrill on the springtime and the fall season. Both spring and fall are what I like to call S.A.M., "Simply A Miracle." The magical thing that occurs is that this weather allows you to play around with your daily apparel. You can wear sandals if you'd like, a light jacket, and a jazzy scarf to add some "pizazz!" I definitely take full advantage of times like this. I love when it's not too hot, and yet not freezing cold. This October sky has got me hooked.

And then in the noche, it's a cool breeze in the night air, so if you are out on the town or maybe just sitting outside somewhere taking in the fall goodness, you can put on a hoodie, or something else with longer sleeves. Whatever your tastes, this weather can compliment quite a few people. Though one can only hope that the temperature stays just like this. While I am behaving like a hungry fall junkie, the temperature I'm sure will play tricks on me. Or, is it that it will soon be that time for the weather to change. Can I accept that change? Am I ready?!

I think I can handle it because winter can have its perks as well. But that's for another story :-), for now let us all HAIL OCTOBER! Take a moment to thank this month (even though it's still early), for the chilly mornings, the sunny afternoons, and the brisk evening or night air. Embrace it all, because as we know, it will all be over before we know it. Then we'll wait until next year!

Do you see how fashion almost relates to everything in our daily lives? It is not always the obvious. In this posts case, being fashionable could be contributed by a good change in weather that makes you feel great inside. It could be just me, but this weather is clearing my head and lifting my spirits. I am not saying that if it's 34 degrees I'll be a depressed frozen mess, but in a sense when I let the sun shine in, things seem much brighter!

If nobody else will, I'll hail October and give it all of the glory! When fall's leaves leave, I'll deal with winter. Til' then, like the sun, I'm gonna shine!

Hair: Circa 2009

Hola! Have I said that I can be a very random person? Well, now I'm letting it be known! Sometimes I think of random thoughts and have to express them either verbally or written. This blog may seem a bit random, but I think it relates to fashion totally! Let's face it, what's an outfit without the hair? You don't see actresses wearing beautiful gowns at the Oscars with their hair frizzy and in a rough looking ponytail. The hair matches the clothes in some way, shape, and yes, form! How we wear our hair on a daily basis reflects our personalities and our appearance.

This week for me thus far is what I like to call a semi-bad hair week! It is partially a bad hair week because I can at least style it to the best of my ability without looking like a complete crazy chick! It just so happens that on the week I start a new job, my hair is playing games, but I am eager to win! My thoughts on my hair and my outfits I have been wearing so far this week have been: "I'm trying to look halfway decent and not hide under a HUGE rock!" Thank whoever invented "jam," a hair gel, because I would be out of luck, trust me! Hair for me is always essential in every look I show. And it is also the hardest thing to deal with.

This is "year two" of my natural hair journey. I say journey because it has been. My first relaxer was probably around age six and I clearly remember that "Just For Me" box it came in! After I reached my pre-teens, I was never consistent with getting a relaxer. My mother didn't really enforce it, it was more if you are unable to comb your hair or the "naps" are beginning to show, she would slap a relaxer in my hair. Yes slap, and sometimes an occasional burn :-). When in high school, I was never consistent with relaxing my hair, I would get one here and there or not anywhere! I frequently just wore my own hair out the best way I could. Only a few times did I get braids or some weave. Finally, I had enough!

When I entered my college years I was dealing with a lot of emotions. I didn't know if I wanted my hair long, short, cut, dyed, permed, nothing! I was all over the place. Soon enough, by the end of my sophomore year and the beginning of junior year, I decided it was time to go natural! My idea of natural is no chemicals, just me, my hair, and the ability to do different styles to it without burning my hair off. That didn't literally happen, but it sure felt like it! I feel that my hair is more healthier than its ever been. It's trained, versatile, and I love it!

My "Hairshion" (play on Fashion) journey has been an ordeal that made appreciate these strands of hair. Before I felt like I was mis-matched. Now, I feel that everything collaborates and I feel a complete style transformation. I have been going to a hair-dresser for a year now, October will mark my one year fabversory (play on anniversary lol) with Lawrence! He clipped all the damaged hair last year and continued to style and pamper my hair by pressing it out with a straightening comb and then curling it. My hair is shinier, bouncier, and did I say healthier! The great thing about my hair, I can do a lot with it. I can braid it up with or without weave. I can get a weave sewn in if I want. I can wet my hair and wear it my tight little curls, or do a twist out. It all depends on how I am feeling. Clothes are the same way, I love having the freedom to switch up my look!

I have been missing my hair guru Lawrence. I didn't go to him this summer because a pressed out look does not cooperate in hot temperatures. I've tried it, and ended up looking like a little poodle who got caught in the rain! This Saturday, Lawrence and I will re-unite, I cannot wait!

My hair journey circa 2009 is one that I am testing out. Today someone asked me if I was a teenager, like 16 or 17! The woman was a little neither here, nor there if you know what I mean. :-). But I honestly did feel a bit younger this week. I never try to look older, but 16 or 17, I can't have that! Anyway, hair is hair whether you have a lot of it, not much of it, too much of it, a relaxer, weave, dye job, whatever! As long as you are happy with yourself, be you! Hair is your fashion. Fashion is your hair.

India Arie said it best, "I am not my hair.....I am the soul that lives within!"

The Design of my Walk

This evening my sister and I went for a walk around our neighborhood. It was a pretty random walk since we normally don't go on casual walks where we live :-). But this walk today was proof that we need to take more walks like this. My sister found herself very energized after a long day at work, and I noticed that I need to put more pep in my step! The walk allowed a change in both of us to surface. After taking the walk, I tried to think of a way to relate the exercise to fashion. I think I figured it out.

I found myself trying to think of the concrete beneath my feet as my personal runway. Each step was my time to face the world and reveal a person who is confident and ready to show what I got! For instance, as a model in a fashion show, your job is to not only display the merchandise you are wearing, but to strut with all your might and give it your all. More importantly, hold your head high and give a great face. No matter if you choose a serious look or one with a partial smile, bring the face! As your high heels or whatever shoes you are wearing touch the stage and you gracefully walk the runway, remember to believe in yourself and make it work!

As I walked on the pavement, I imagined I was on that runway, a very LONG runway! I kept my face a very serious but pouty look and kept my stride. Even when I was tired and wanted to pass out where I stood, I kept going. My legs were burning like a match had been lit to my calves. But that didn't stop me. I envisioned that instead, I was wearing a very hot pair of shoes, so fierce that as I walked, I left flames behind me. My hair blew in the wind as I glided and made my pose at the end of the runway.

As I walked back to where I started I still kept the same enthusiasm as I did on the walk down. With my sister as my partner, we kept it flashy and fabulous and killed it on our runway of good things to come! As we got closer to the end, we praised our progress and continued to our destination.

Soon enough, we made back to the beginning of the runway of good things to come and made our final poses. With smiles and some pain of burning legs, I mean hot shoes that left flames, we were proud that we had completed the task.

I am simply saying, the journeys we take can be our very own runway. What is important is that we walk through life remembering that there will be times when we want to fall out and quit. But with positive thoughts and possibly someone to help you along the way, you CAN make it. So the next time you take a walk, whether it be for exercise purposes or just a walk down a street, keep in mind that it is your runway. A runway that doesn't have to be cut short and forgotten. It can be one that is endless and memorable. The runway of good things to come is a fashion statement, so let's move forward!

VIVA GLAM

I've been thinking a lot about the word fashion. Sometimes I wonder if there is a certain type of fashion. Or do I even qualify to explain it? What is it about fashion specifically that allows labels to be placed on people? How does one become fashionable? Is it something that naturally happens or do you have to make it happen? So many questions run through my mind as I try to process what fashion actually is.

These past few days I have been thinking a lot about icons who have come before me. The likes of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are at the top of my list. These women WERE fashion when they were in the limelight. People looked for what trend they would start and women wanted to be like them, and some still do. But as I think about how fabulous they were, I think it was more than clothes, jewelry, and shoes. To me, there was something from within them that proclaimed their appealing nature. Yes, Marilyn wore some gorgeous dresses and Audrey took the cake on her huge stylish hats. But their glamorous appearances was contributed by their personalities. They expressed a certain confidence when in the spotlight that it made them well liked.

What I am trying to get across is that it takes more than a hot pair of shoes and a beautiful wardrobe to be fabulous. In my generation, Beyonce' Knowles is a perfect example. She obviously brings about fashion trends that some women try to follow and imitate. Though, her dazzling gowns at award shows and classy attire at talk shows wouldn't be half as fabulous if she didn't have that spark from within. Her confident stature make women of all ages want to copy her look or simply wonder where she got her outfit. Beyonce' may make being fabulous hard to do, but honestly it isn't.

Presentation is the key to being fabulous. There are days when I feel like I am the most fabulous looking girl on the block with a pair of jeans, a white short sleeves t-shirt, and a handmade scarf draped beautifully around my neck. But the clothes don't make me, I think I allow my inner confidence to believe I AM hot! It's not necessarily being conceited. But it is me being comfortable in my skin and owning what I have on. I take full responsibility for the way I look!

So, are you fashionable? Is anyone? I may not have all the answers, but one thing is for sure, fashion is fashion. It's how you interpret it. Fashion to you could mean something totally different than what I believe. And that is ok. Fashion allows all of us to create different looks and attempt to look our best! I would like to end with a quote from Carrie in a "Sex and the City" episode. It's one of my favs!

"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you, you love, well, that's just fabulous."

Something Old, Something New!

Have you ever heard of the phrase: Recycle and Re-use? Well guess what, there is such a thing! I do it all the time, and it helps! I am a recent college grad and I am pretty sketchy with cash. Even while in school I had to watch how much I would spend on things so that I didn't OVER-SPEND. So, sometimes I have to "make do" with what I have and re-use! I am not saying that everything I wear is from another era, but If I find an old shirt or blouse circa 1997 :-), as long as it is clean and of course, still fits, I will wear it!

In some cases, if it wasn't your clothing to begin with, you may be able to play around with it. For instance, if it was your mom's old dress that "kinda" fits, you'll have to make some adjustments.

You can take just about anything and make it new again, make it your own. It's all about taking the time to create the look and definitely the delivery. If you walk around with a sign on your head that says: I WORE THIS SHIRT IN 7TH GRADE!, it's not going to work for you. So how you present your recycled look, makes it new and improved!

Quite often I re-use and recycle clothes from YEARS ago! My sister sometimes teases me when I whip out a shirt from 1999, but it still fits! I present myself like its brand new and no one but maybe my sister knows :).

How to revamp
To my ladies, you can revamp, let's say a blouse that you haven't worn for awhile, and make it hot! Possibly, add a blazer or a vest with it to jazz it up a bit, or maybe add a cool cardigan. For my fellas, whatever your taste, the same things could apply. Men wear vests and blazers, so if you have an old t-shirt, add your own flavor to it, don't be afraid!

I also discovered a few years ago that jeans I had that were HIGH WATERS, I'd cut them into shorts or some form of carpi's. They always seemed to work out. Or, in the winter, you can wear those too high pants and tuck them into some cute boots. Make it look like the pants are a regular length!

In the video you will see a few ways I recycled and re-used. It all depends on what the occasion is I guess. But this concept can save you time and money!

P.S. Make sure your volume is turned up enough for you to hear it!

Love,

A very StyLISH!

I Smell Fashion

So, my main goal for this blog was to rant about whatever was on my mind, and I still plan to do that. Though I think this blog will be a bit more focused. I plan on becoming a fashion journalist soon and among many other things. So I think its best to start here.

Fashion IS a part of my life in so many ways, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with clothes, it's the BIGGER PICTURE. In my opinion, whether good or bad, fashion is what I like to call C.B.C.: Creativity, Boldness, Comfortable.

Creativity

The biggest fashion icons take risks and therefore become very creative in their look. They rip their jeans in a destructive way and rock out with a pair of loafers. Can you picture it? It may sound weird but to be creative you sometimes have to try what other people have no clue about. When I was younger I would cut the bottom off of my t-shirts that were striped or solid colors, and I'd make accessories with it. I'd make a headband or if it stretched enough, a cool belt. I always try to be creative in my everyday look.

Boldness

You simply cannot rock a purple pair of jeans with a lime green graphic tee without feeling totally confident in your appearance. To be bold does not mean you walk around with a pair of nylon stockings and a baby tee, (Trust me, I've seen it!) or wear a pair of jeans with slits on the back pockets where your butt is. To be bold is all about making a statement that is not too harmful to the eyes :). If you want to be bold and fashionable at the same time, by all means, hold your head up high. Hold it was with class and confidence.

Comfortable

When you decide to take a fashion risk even if it is a fashion DON'T, be sure you are comfortable in what you have on. The last thing you want is to be out for the world to see and you feel so uncomfortable. Last weekend I attempted what I thought was a fashion DO, but once I had the outfit on, I felt uncomfortable. So I had to do a quick wardrobe change that suited me better for that day. I will try the outfit again, but possibly in a different way, we'll see. So, if you feel uncomfortable, trust, you will appear uncomfortable. Whatever the look is, make it your business to feel comfortable. Don't worry about if other people will like the look, as long as you feel secure, that's what counts.

So, what have we learned? Yes, that's right C.B.C.! Fashion eludes this three word acronym. It helps me, and it may for you as well!

Que Pasa? Fashion is What's up!

A few examples of C.B.C. :

Tag, am I it?

Attention, attention! This is an anouncement for the club-goers: PARTY LIKE IT'S NO TOMORROW! But take a closer look at the figures of speech we all bop to. I've been on a mission to get past negative feelings by thinking about the unthinkable. Let's see how this goes, and let's play tag!
I'm sure some of you have heard that song at parties that's like "Let Me Clear My Throat," well it's cool but for this blog its uncool. Forgive my hatin' moment but let's face it. The line goes "If you got real hair, real finger nails...." we know the rest. You might notice when in a party setting, all of the females lower their hands, because more than one of them have some "alterations" to their appearance. And there is nothing wrong with it.
But DON'T be the one in the club that pretends you are an exception, it's pure comedy to me! Then to top it all off, when another party song goes: "You got a 50 dollar bill put ya hands up," "You got a 100 dollar bill, make noise!" I'll be the first to lower my hand, knowing I have neither, and if I did, nobody in the club needs to know! Of course I'm thinking literally about this, but I am a literal kind of person who takes something small and makes it big, literally!
So, tag me, cause' I'm it. I'm the one who will take a piece of bread and toast it without a toaster and make it my own, by any means, yes, necessary!
