ms. kee also explained her fashion philosophy to me. in her own words:

"fashion can play a huge role in how others perceive you. if you want to be sexy, that's fabulous, but know that sexiness comes from within, it's an attitude! no matter how much boob, leg or ass you decide to show, if you don't possess a positive sexy attitude, it doesn't matter. leave something to the imagination and be beautiful from the inside out."

check out this invitation-making, graphic-designing, talent-having fashionista - i am a fan (the chocolate sunburst style from her chocolate collection is just one of my favorites) and i hope to work with her soon.

miss ayesha is the first to grace the "on the come-up" spotlight series as sui generis ms. of the week - featuring the young (in age or in spirit) & fabulous who are in the industry and making moves. at a young age, ayesha became a designer of all things. today she's still designing & styling from clothing to interior decor to baskets to make-up - you name it, she's probably doing it. she's styled for many, including hubby, actor & recording artist, tray chaney (yup, poot from "the wire"). stay tuned -there's so much more to come from this fashionista.
