:::Kerry Washinton:::Bam!

this new promo shoot for Kerry's new movie, Night Catches Us,

was recently printed in the LA Times. i have to say that these pics

look so new and fresh that they leave me inspired to create a new

personal look for next year. stay posted :)

:::Pam Grier::: POW!

:::please:::

is there some way that the stars can align, and my husband and i can get a canon 5D Mark II camera, with tons of lenses and 2 round the world plane tickets. Is that too much to ask from life? if that did happen, i would post stuff like this, expect there would be two smiling chocolate faces in all of the photos! lol! enjoy. via pretavoager

:::my latest artsy:::scarf necklace

this is my latest artsy fartsy project. i made a necklace scarf out of yarn, and i love it. when i was a little girl, my grandma used to crochet all of the time. then, last week, out of the blue i decided to buy some yarn and a hook. i wasn't even sure that i would remember how to do it, but i guess it is like riding a bike. :) more creations to come.

:::listen:::Amel Larrieux

i love amel for being vocally fearless. she is substantial and seems to have a simple elegance. when i first heard and saw "get up" i wanted to be that kind of artist. her first solo album, infinite possibilities is one of my all-time favorite albums! i have followed her every since. so this morning, my anthem is "get up". i hope you all enjoy! :)

oh, i also added her sweet misery video because it was a gorgeous song and video as well!
