christian louboutin.

how many of you knew christian louboutin way before j started rhyming about the red bottoms? i didn't. i confess. and out of curiousity i wanted to know who this man was that had women across the world contributing to the economy by investing in his shoes.

i googled him of course and found out he's pretty young. born in paris in 1963, the french shoe designer was inspired to become a shoe designer by the costumes that the nightclub showgirls would wear.

and why the red bottoms? reportedly, he first planned to use different colors for the soles but watched an assistant paint her nails red and boom - red it was. we creative types are inspired by just about anything!

word of the day: disgusting.

real quick: i love when my girls send me inspiration and my girl nikki is good for that. today she shared with me the story of a young lady she had the pleasure to meet, phillipa hughes, lawyer turned art event planner (pink line project - google her).

how inspiring is someone who quits their 9 to 5 to follow their passion. you always hear me talking about that. and since that pretty much describes my current situation - meantime freelancer with big entrepreneur ambitions, allergic to permanent 9 to 5 situations, yeh, yeh, that's me - then i just thought i'd share.

between yesterday's sermon, a random person's facebook status, and nikki's email, i'm constantly inspired to keep pushing. it's not a coincidence. i hope whomever is reading this is also surrounded by people and things that keep them determined and inspired. if not, then seek that.

and to get back on the track, the other day tyra said that the word "fierce" is overused. she's probably right. so she says the new word is "disgusting." so i say that if we aren't already, we're well on our way to being DISGUSTING!

remember when we used to rock: french rolls.

the year was 1992 and i think me and just about all my girls were sitting around in our neighborhood hairdresser's (heyyy yarnie!) room waiting to get our french rolls. we were getting pretty for our 9th grade formal.

but we wore them formally and informally - whether we were getting dressed up or not. i remember some of us would stuff ours with braid hair so we could get a smooth, even roll. and don't forget the pump in the front.

i remember my formal dress was royal blue so i found some blue and clear rhinestones and had yarnie glue them on the pump. wow. gotta love it.

i must scan all of these throwback pictures that i always talk about. truly classics.

if kimora says it, it's true.

manglaze matte:recession proof.


i love when my readers hit me up and tell me what's up. so after i blogged about ko matte nail polish, miss bianca out of houston, put me on to an even smarter choice: man glaze.
manglaze, you ask? yup, that's what they call it. kinda like strong enough for a woman but made for a man. kinda. it appeals to rocker dudes and chicks just the same. it comes in two matte finishes - black or grey - and is designed for extended wear.
and i'm not mad at the $6.66 price tag. and since bianca has tested and given it the thumbs up, i'm going to trust her review and march over to manglaze.com and purchase black. and grey.
gracias, bianca.
