Chicken and Sake

So yesterday was my best friends birthday. I was at Rems, planning to bring my ass home and workworkwork. And then I get told I'm going to Underbar...fine. Problem is they're at capacity and we can't get in. Plan B? Asian karaoke spot with private rooms and pitchers of sake. Word. They also sell food. Of course we ordered chicken. So, I'm singing my tail off (and doing a hell of a job) when I notice there's only one piece of chicken left. One of my sisters is talking to my bestie about the last of something. While they're looking at each other I slip over, still singing, and slide my hand over that last piece. I'm slipping it off the plate when suddenly my sister turns and looks at me. What I didn't know was that they were talking about the last of the sake and everyone had long ago decided they didn't want the last piece of chicken. "Bitch, nobody cares", she says to me and turns and continues talking to my bestie. Soon after, this picture was taken. That's my story. And that's also an Equali Tee. We'll touch base on that soon.

That Ish Cray

I just needed to write for a second. I'm going to get deep a little later...maybe in a few days actually lol...but right now I just needed to get a few things out of my head. People that I don't know are following the Equali Tees Twitter. That is mind boggling. I can't comprehend this. Of course it's what I've aimed for, but I never really thought of the process of it happening. It's too dope. I want to cry. Seriously. A kid just told me he'd rep my brand. He followed Equali Tees, I looked at his pics and followed back. Liked a few images and he commented on one of my pics that he'd rep for me and left his email address. Listen. Someone wants to rep my brand. Someone wants to work for me. Someone wants to be my fucking employee. What the hell?! The implications of that...if these past two months are any indication of what's to come for me I better saddle up. SOMEONE BELIEVES IN ME AND WANTS TO WORK FOR ME. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! The kid has over 6000 followers. And he believes that he can sell my shit. I can't even deal. He has no clue that Equali Tees is a little woman sitting in her mini Dorchester Apartment trying to decide between going to the grocery store and watching her favorite Simpsons episode for the billionth time. I'm so not even on his level yet LOL! But I will be. With a following like that I have to be prepared in case it gets crazy. Wherever the hell Equali Tees is about to bring me in life, I'm for it. Buckle up bitches.

Great Year!

I've had such a lovely year. There has been so much reorganizing and growing happening with me this year it's ridiculous. A lot of people say "new year, new me" and as corny as it sounds it's absolutely true in my case. My entire life is about to change. I'm leaving this awful office to venture out and hopefully find my true calling in the mean time. I'm already on deck over at Boldfacers...just spoke with the Founder/Editor and chief and got put in charge of our next shoot day which happens to be January 12th. 6 shoots, 6 very different people, one day. In comparison with sitting at a desk pushing paper and entering numbers into an Excel spreadsheet all day. I'll take the former, please. And while money will be tight and life might get a little hard, all I'll have to do is look back on this day and remember the state of bliss that I was in and I think that will be enough to keep me pushing forward. It may seem crazy to think that I really believe that I could be down and out and poor and thinking about being happy will be enough for me to survive on, but if you think that's crazy for me you may not know me very well if at all. I hated what my life had turned into and at first I was devastated about leaving this place, but I realized it was solely for monetary purposes. This is a blessing in disguise for me, a new beginning and I'm taking it and running. How many people get the chance to start all over? Lots of people can, but not enough have the balls. Most of my family thinks my job is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I can't front anymore. Not only was I not making enough money here, I lost myself in a foreign world and was almost too weak to make it back to where I belong. But I woke up and I have a second chance to be myself. I'll be damned if I let it slip away. Kisses to you all and may you have a safe and lovely night :) So yeah, 2010, while you were great you're leaving soon. Suck my swagg indeed.

AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE TENTACLES GROWING OUT OF OUR FACES IS RIGHT...

I found this on the Imaginary Foundation's blog and loved it so I decided to share. Don't say that I never gave you anything.

Lovely Weekend

Inspiration for life...








I had the most lovely weekend and it's lovingly spilling over into my week. This is my favorite time of year :) I love all of the holidays, the feeling in the air, the food, the gifts...it's all just magnificent isn't it? I wish that I could feel like this all the time. Anywho, Friday night Steve and I went to the Museum of Fine Arts. On Saturday I chilled all day. I did something during the day that I can't remember, and then that night I went out with my mom, sisters, and a few other family members. That was fantastic. I spent all day Sunday dancing with my brother then we went to Texas Roadhouse with my bestfriend and his gf and I had the biggest meal I've ever ordered. I brought the leftovers to lunch for work. I'm so amped...I still have a 3 day work week, Thanksgiving at my moms, and my fav holiday of all Black Friday to look forward to. Lovely, lovely, lovely :)

My chicken was cute at first...then I realized that it resembled a bleeding heart. Weird.


Add Sweet Potatoe with marshmallows on top, Chili with green onions and cheese, Pulled Pork, and Half a slab of ribs to my meal. I went too hard.


I love this pic from the MFA. lol. Look at his leopard throw he has thrown over his shoulder like so...diva.


This is probably the greatest room that I've ever seen in my life. I am so taking inspiration from it for something.


This is my future bed in law. A girl can dream.


By far the fanciest coat rack I've ever seen in my life. I love this thing it's crazy.


If I owned this I would drink everything out of it from water to whiskey.


The colors in this hallway pleased me. I didn't even notice it til just now, but it's the same colorway as my buisness cards. lol. I was probably so attracted to it because of the familiarity and because it's already a combo I've worked with.


Close up of the lovely hallway. I don't know that I agree with that black frame. There were a few frames that I could have done without in that hallway the gold ones suited the look and feel best. There was a black one with red specks in particular that I was all set with. lol.


Idk what this is...a podium? I like it though.


Imagine having pillars like this outside your front door?! Dopeness.


This chest is simple and magnificent at the same time.


Everytime I go to the MFA I take a picture of this colored relief. I LOVE it.


I think this is an urn...but either way it would like in my house.


Wreath necklace. Pure and solid gold. What I wouldn't give to rock that around my neck...*sigh*



More pics to come...I think I've had the problem before of only being able to post 15 pics at a time. Whatevs. I hope that all of you are having as lovely a time as I am. Kisses.
