Neighbors

As I've mentioned before, I'm an only child. On top of  that me and my parents aren't that close with their families, there's a lot of crazy issues around. Thankfully, I've surrounded myself with great friends. I'm also very thankful for our neighborhood. As cheesy as that sounds, we are very close with five other fams in our hood. We have all grown up together, and some of them seem more like sisters to me. Yesterday, I was with some of the Bellair girls and their cousins and of course they were more than glad to dress-up so I could practice some of my photog stills. Love them!

they all styled themselves

THANKS girls...

This is my Heaven....

“I want a love like my bed. Someone to support me, someone comfortable, someone who will listen to everything I say, and will be there to catch all my tears. Essentially, a bed is the greatest model of an idealistic love there is.”

I've actually never seen a prettier picture of her.

Magazine Stack

This is probably one of my favorite parts of my room...my magazine stack. Most, but not all, of the magazines that I have read over the past few years are in that stack. I keep them because I want to look back at them and see how fashion, art, and photography has changed over the years. They are a great reference to the social changes that have occurred in our world. It awes me thinking about how many hours I have spent reading through those pages. In those magazines I have found so much inspiration. My hope is that as the stack grows and I make new stacks I will continue to be inspired by what I find between the pages.

By the way, thanks for modeling, Ahlex H.
