CainanLand !

Well senior year, just shoot me in the back!

2010-10-29T07:38:00.000-07:00

For the past two weeks I have been stuck in IDP for having multiple tardy's. Mind you, my first period is art (like WHO CARES) and my teacher loves to gloat about herself. When the year first started I wasn't driving so my ride would always be like a minute late to school and I would roll into class as soon as the bell rang and still be tardy. For those who are wondering what IDP is, IDP is like a weird, way-off abbreviation for In-school Suspension. I'm a freaking good student and I want to go to college but if this effing art teacher won't get her panties out of the bunch she's going to ruin my life!

So today I had IDP (duh) and my second period teacher calls me out to come to class because I am the king in the Medieval Festival coming up this Monday. Then, Mr. Dent sees me and proceeds to say "what are you doing?" and I freeze in mid-walk because this man looks like he's about to tackle me and ends up assigning me ANOTHER DAY IN IDP. Now, I live in a small country hick town called Roanoke, Virginia. Do you see where I am going with this? See, I am very different individual compared to the other students that go here. Everyone is either a loser, football player, wrestler, basketball player, baseball player, cheerleader, every other sport-er, a ghetto loud mouth, an Asian and all of those other stereotypical clicks. If I had to classify myself into a click...well, I wouldn't. I express myself in all different ways and I refuse to abide by the 'rules of society'. So screw this, I better get into college or I am coming for this school. That is all.

I am BACK!

2010-03-02T18:43:00.000-08:00

Well as you all know, I have been gone for a while. School and work has taken over my life lately and I have not been able to blog. Fashion week just barely passed and I have only seen about 2 shows. Isn't that horrible? So you guys should all know what my next entry is going to be about... FASHION WEEK! R.I.P Lee Alexander McQueen, you were/are a great designer. You took everything to higher levels and surprised is with all of the clothing you designed. In the near future, I wish to take a piece of your creativity and put it into my own collection. I know it is possible, creativity and being different will never die. Thank you for giving me a dream.

2010-01-21T13:20:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, I haven't been updating as frequently as I used to. Reason being, school, work and laziness of course. So I decided I'm going to go on a short hiatus but I'll still be on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Myspace so you can definitely reach me there. Until then, Arrivederci!

OH $#!+, Exams Are Over !

2010-01-15T07:39:00.000-08:00

This past week has been complete hell for me (thank God for Friday off). Ever since last week I have studying like a maniac to get ready for these semester exams! I definitely had motivation from the coolest person alive, Aaron! Well, now you know, I've made it through the fire baby! When I started to take the tests, they were like . . . super easy. Seriously, I waisted my time studying so much.(-_-) As I'm sitting here, I'm starting to realize I woke up way to early for a day off! It's like 11am and I don't have to be at work till' 6pm! Ugh, this post is so DEAD, & I'm super tired (-_-).

- BYE !

Campaign Time!

2010-01-10T14:01:00.000-08:00

What better way is their to bring in the new year than with some "Newess"! Fashion campaigns have been flying through the air since December, and I just love it! You know how you get sick of waiting for things to happen in the fashion industry? Well... That hasn't happened yet, Thank God! I have three of the latest campaigns from GianfrancoFERRE, Fendi, and Blumarine. The outstanding photo of Dree Hemingway was shot by none other that Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Gianfranco Ferre. The stunning photo of Anja Rubik was shot by the one and only Karl Lagerfield for Fendi, and this amazing, colorful shot of Doutzen Kroes for Blumarine was taken by Patrick Demarchelier. For more, visit: models.com , blumarine.com , fendi.com , gianfrancoferre.com
- Enjoy!

A Very Stressful Weekend!

2010-01-10T13:29:00.000-08:00

Exams start tomorrow, and I am stressed the HECK OUT! What type of school has exams after winter break? Isn't that the dumbest, most unorganized crap you have ever heard of? Anyways, all this weekend I have been studying my little butt off, and my brain is about fried. Even though I've been taking endless breaks, this sucks because we still have school the following week! I swear if my face breaks out, I'm suing the entire school, not even joking. In other news, I went to go develop some pictures I took a couple weekends back and they came out pretty well. I'll make sure I put some on here as soon as my photo copier decides to start working. Lately, my life hasn't been very interesting. I can drive legally now (HAHA) and I really want this jeep for sale down the street from my house. Its all black and purely AMAZING! gosh.

PLEASE! No More Snow!

2010-01-07T18:45:00.000-08:00

Wow, so I just hooked up my blog too my Sidekick! How exciting, right? So anyways, its been about six days since I've updated my blog and that's super lazy. School started Monday and that was not fun. All I could remember was the day going by so slow! Well now it's Thursday and I have testing starting next week. Its supposed to snow tonight and I cannot take it, like seriously I hate snow. Plus, if it snows we have to go to school all week next week and not get Friday out, which is extremely dumb. UGH -_- .

To The New Year!

2010-01-01T21:21:00.000-08:00

Sheesh, I haven't even written a new years blog entry yet? Pitty me. Well hello, its 2010 and...I haven't changed. Right now, its about 12am of January 2nd and I'm supposed to be finishing up my book report due next week but, I realized I had some venting to do. For starters, my new years night was alright. I went to see my grandparents renew their vow's at 12am, after 49 years! I took photos and it was amazing. They served breakfast at like 2am. I went home and drank a whole bottle of cider. the non-alcoholic kind ya know, since I'm still a kid. After that, I definitely went to sleep because I had work the next morning, which was fun by the way. It was super funny, the mall was so dead. Mainly because people were so tired and wasted from partying super hard all night. We didn't start getting costumers till around...four and the mall definitely closed at seven. For lunch today, I had the BEST shrimp tempura roll and I can still taste it! In a good way though.
- Night!

On the 26th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

2009-12-26T19:52:00.000-08:00

HEY! Its the day after Christmas and nothing bad happened! [superstitious, i know] I woke up at like 10:30 this morning and realized I had to work at 12, so I ran into the bathroom and jumped in the shower of scorching hot water. I wanted to scream soooo bad, but everyone was sleep so just like anyone else, I was like FML! So yeah work was super fun and extremely busy. Well hello it is the day after CHRISTMAS which means what? EXCHANGES!!! Today should be called "National Exchange Day", full of exchanges, returns and all of the other processing that goes into it. [LMAO!] When I got off work, I went to see my aunt and cousin who had come to visit from New York! They are the coolest family members and I want to go out there with them so bad! - NIGHT !

Horrible Beginning to My Winter Break .

2009-12-21T17:39:00.000-08:00

I know I haven't blogged in about a week or so? But I have reasons, trust me. So yeah, on Friday during school we got out two hours early because of SNOW! So I was all super happy and ready to sleep and drink cocoa and blogggg, but no, that didn't happen. Instead I found out my sister got stuck in Lexington so my dad, grandad and I drove out there to save her [yay go us], but it didn't happen 'just like that' so we got stuck out there for 3 days. We stayed in a little motel, it was cold, I didn't have any clothes packed and it was just complete chaos. [I had converse on the whole time so my feet froze over]. As those long days went by, the family bonded more so...I guess I'm over exaggerating a tad bit but WHATEVER,IT WAS STILL COLD! and I hate cold. The ride home was so freaking SCARY! There was ice all over the ground, and cars scattered and stranded all over. When we got home it was great and I've been telling everyone the story, sleeping, working and drinking Cocoa!!!!!

The Worst Days are "Make Up" Days.

2009-12-15T18:55:00.000-08:00

This morning I was in my bed thinking for an hour if it was my body that felt weak and sick, or if it was my mind that was saying "your still sick, stay home another day." I realized it was my mind so I got up, got ready for school, and started my day! I was excited, congested, tired and sick all in one but I seemed to have made it through the day. After school I was planning on getting a haircut but that definitely didn't happen because everyone else seemed to have had "plans" or whatever and I was just home...sitting there...like a loner. Anyways I went to the bank, withdrew some cash and CHRISTMAS SHOPPED FOR EVERYONE! [which I am not fully done with, but I got a good amount out of the way]. When I arrived home again, I had loads of homework because well remember I didn't go to school Monday and all that make-up work made a major impact on my life tonight. [HAAA!] Now I'm going to sleep. (:

Oh How I Hate Being Sick .

2009-12-14T19:48:00.000-08:00

Hey readers, sorry for this late post of mine. This morning I had went down to grandma's house to stay in because I had gotten sick :( . I slept till 1pm, and had a doctors appointment at 2pm. They gave me some antibiotics and the pills are HUGE and green [ugh, so gross]. On the other hand, I had some subway at like 4pm and it was amazing! Grandma brought it home for me :D! Then tonight I had some Taco Bell, which I haven't been there since November of 2008 because I promised myself I would never eat there again. So I broke the rule and now I'm starting to feel it =X! Well I'm going to try to get up for school in the morning [oohh gooosshhh!!] so goodnight readers ;).

Its Winter Baby!

2009-12-13T10:39:00.000-08:00

Winter is Wonderful (: . It's the season where laziness is legal! Ever since December 1st, I've been lounging around like seriously after school and work I'm either watching television, working out, or drinking hot tea. This weekend I came down to stay with the fam and it was fun. We went to the mall like 3 times and I had to work (on an empty stomach) =O ! Oh, and some friends randomly came to visit me during my working hours, it was GREAT (: . BLAH, this post is boring .

- Bye !

I know I've been gone !

2009-09-01T05:57:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I know I've been on hiatus forever now, but I promise I will be back soon. (: I took a longgg break this summer and was super lazy. [lol]

Updates coming soon !

Ohhh Abbey !

2009-07-05T18:33:00.001-07:00

Yeah, its her Abbey Lee Kershaw looking amazing in Vogue Nippon. Terry Richardson has a gift for photography, its perfect! No mess ups what so ever. George Cortina did an extravigant job with the clothes, I see it as a haute aussie street type of look, don't you?

[models.com]

Oh, Lacroix

2009-06-04T09:52:00.000-07:00

Oh yes! Its Anne Catherine Lacroix looking beautifully elegant in Citizens K dressed in this seasons most memorable pieces. Shot By Gregory Derkenne with a basic black and white color scheme. (Oh and for the record, she's wearing the best pair of Nina Ricci platforms).

Want to Help a Good Cause?

2009-05-31T12:00:00.000-07:00

Today, I was talking to my best friend and she told me about this website called free rice. On this website, you simply answer questions and for every question you get right, you donate 10 grains of rice to the poor in Africa. It's completely free and there's no hassle to it. For more info on this go to www.freerice.com Try it, it's fun and helpful. (:

Its So In ! {Paris}

2009-05-26T16:07:00.000-07:00

In the latest issue of Vogue Paris, Jac and Kamila Filipcikova team up to show off some of the latest fashion in season. Carine Roitfeld dresses them up in Dior and McQueen, photography by David Sims. I've never actually seen these models before {surprisingly} but they are beautiful and great in front of a camera. Now that I see Dior and McQueen's clothes put together I'm waiting for them to team up for S/S or F/W line! [:

Retro Glamour at its BEST !

2009-05-19T09:57:00.000-07:00

Okay, I know I said I would be taking a break from blogging for about a week, but I really can't wait that long when there's new fashion sitting in front of my face. Here's Sessilee Lopez in Harper's Bazaar being glamorous as always in vintage-retro attire. Goodness I swear she is the most beautiful and different models out there. She has such versatility with her looks, Sessilee is simply amazing. :] !

Okay, soooo I know I haven't been blogging lately but hey I'm still in school. It's testing time and I need all the studying I can get. Trust me, I will be updating as soon as testing is over which is the end of next week. I have a lot to blog about too, Gucci has a new pair of sneaks that I really want, Haute Couture is making it big in "ready to wear" and. . . I'm excited to start MODELING !!

V59 Time !

Its almost summer time and V Magazine is putting the sexiest well known models in the V59 swimsuit edition issue. This issue includes: Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer, and Daria Werbowy. There are multiple covers to this issue with autographs of the model that is on it. I most definitely will be purchasing this issue. Especially this one with the amazing Gisele on it.

Chanel UPDATE!

2009-04-27T16:25:00.000-07:00

Chanel Iman is "moving on up" in her life now. As one of the most heart driven models, Chanel talks about her next chapters in life. She will be starting out on the small screen as a correspondent for House of Style. This girl has got her modeling career and acting career at a steady pace. Maybe, just maybe I can start calling her Tyra Jr. :]! - Picture shot by Cameron Crone for V59.

It's Art First, then Fashion.

2009-04-22T20:23:00.000-07:00

To tell you the truth, I never saw this coming. Here's Tanya Dziahileva in the latest issue of Mixte Magazine. The mixture of photography by Carlotta Manaigo, and illustrations by Gustaf von Arbin create a unique peace of art. I think these are some of the most beautiful pictures ever taken, and edited. :]!

VOGUE Deutsch. {part deux}

2009-04-20T17:38:00.000-07:00

Alright so I found some more pictures of the Vogue Germany issue for May 2009. {UGH ; it takes FOREVER too find stuff that's not in the U.S.} Anyways, here is Meghan Collison and Dree Hemingway's photo spread shot by Knoepfel & Indlekofer. You can find more at models.com/feed [amazing source].

VOGUE Paris!

2009-04-20T16:29:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm guessing denim is "back in action" again? Well if it is, they couldn't have picked a better model to wear it. It's Daria Werbowy looking mighty fierce on the cover of the upcoming issue of Vogue Paris. The fashion photographers Inez & Vinoodh did a great job with this. I was on their website today and there was a lot of... nudity, like a LOT but this here is magnifique. ;] !

For the Love of Models.

2009-04-19T17:56:00.000-07:00

As soon as I saw this issue of Vogue, I fell in LOVE! Natasha Poly? Jourdann Dunn? Like seriously, this should be named "The Best Issue of VOGUE". In this is issue, there are lots of photo spreads talking about the models lives, and how they were discovered by Steven Meisel. You all should seriously go to the store and buy this. There are so many spreads in it and even Chanel Iman {my boo} is in it.

The Vintage Beauty.

2009-04-16T10:36:00.000-07:00

The beautiful Czech teen Bara Holotova from IMG, starts her editorial life by gracing the pages of Dazed and Confused photographed my Sean and Seng. To me she has a very vintage classic type look, and face. I have a feeling that I will be seeing more of her in the industry.

VOGUE Deutsch.

2009-04-15T14:44:00.000-07:00

The Dominican Beauty Arlenis Sosa takes the the front cover of the May issue of Vogue Germany. Its a very elegant and spring-like cover (color wise), but Arlenis is the main attraction! This issue represents the first woman of color on Vogue Germany since Naomi Campbell in 2004 and fashion of course.

Привет Россия! {Hello Russia!}

2009-04-14T21:32:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know, Russia is the future of art and fashion. Today I was on V Magazine's website looking at a slide show of Russia and all the great stuff that's in it and I saw this marvelous gold skull. I wonder how much it would cost if it was for sell. :]

Where is Nick Knight?

2009-04-14T21:24:00.000-07:00

For the past week I've been visiting Nick Knight's SHOWstudio.com to see what's new. Well, nothings new and I have no idea how or where I can contact him. UGH! I wish his studio had a number or e-mail. I would be blowing up their phone lines.

Oh Alexander, you never sieze to amaze me.

2009-04-14T07:17:00.000-07:00

As you all should know, Alexander McQueen's A/W 2009 fashion show in Paris was a HIT! Now, he has put his work in "the showroom" for everyone to see and $buy$. If only men could wear this type of AMAZING clothing.{lol} This particular piece is my favorite, its called "ruffles feathers" says SHOWstudio. I'm seriously thinking about framing this on my wall.

Is that Brigitte? . . . NO!

2009-04-14T07:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to go look at Matt Irwin's blog and I saw the Russian goddess Georgina Jagger looking amazing as always. As I was looking at the photo I started to see a resemblance of the 60's sex kitten Brigitte Bardot. They both have that baby face, spreaded-teeth, big hair look going on, and I LOVE IT! This is officially my favorite picture of Ms.Georgina and Brigitte.

The Energy Saving Search?

2009-04-14T06:19:00.000-07:00

Last night when i was "IM-ing" my best friend, she mentioned this website called "Blackle". Its a custom google search made by Heap Media to save energy on your computer/laptop. Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominatly black. White screens are way brighter and take up a lot more power. You guys should give it a try, www.blackle.com its . . . "computer friendly". :]

He Gives HUGS!

2009-04-13T19:47:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know, NYLON guys is one of my favorite magazines. So today when I opened up the god-like website, I saw this^^. yeah, its Mr.Williams hugging a chick{lol}. Anyway there's an interview on their with him talking about his life, and how every things going well for him and what he plans on doing in the future. For the whole interview, click: here

& they call her Pinkie.

2009-04-13T19:24:00.000-07:00

As I was cruising the amazing site of Models.com, I came past this beautiful creature named Pinkie. She has all the features a model needs in the industry. Bone structure, eyes, lips, "the look" is basically where I'm trying to get at. If only I could be her photographer.

So where's V59?

2009-04-13T19:11:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I've been looking through the pages of v58 for like EVER now, and I've been begging V Magazine to come out with issue 59! Can there be like a part 2 too the spring minds of V? {seriously}.
