CraAaZiEsT PhotoShoot....A StOry Of Persistance

HeEey Eclectic Urban World. Today I have a very interesting story of a photoshoot that took more than many twists and turns but where do I start? I start by not dwelling on the past, trials and obstacles...We Only move Forward; STRONGER...FASTER...GREATER! However I will share the many things I learned.......

1st- I learned to believe in my ppl, no matter how things turned out later, believe in your ppl first, let's take chances w/ each other, you could be very pleasantly suprised!
2nd- Sounds corny but F it...Go for what ever it is you wan't, don't let anyone dictate how you move at all, everyone can't make it the same way!! And don't let anyone make you feel ashamed bc you make mistakes or bc your still learning. Like I said everyone can speculate but...Who's making moves?? It's really easy to be like "If that was me, I would of..." YEA YEA
3rd- Be humane first, don't let anything turn you into a Robot...I move God like w/ Respect being top priority for my peers and my mental and physical health being top priority over what needs to get done!
4th- Have Fun & don't miss a moment!!! Life is crazy short...laugh every chance...If you trip, laugh, if you get kicked out of a damn museum laugh(hahaaa)
5th- Believe in your shit more than anybody, even if it's not 100% what you planned..it's yours...STAND behind that ugly truth or mistake and sell it to the world until you get it right!!! Seeeriously! Ppl are group thinkers and or groupies, they only believe in you when they see big things popping but on the come up support may be non-existant....THANK DA UNIVERSE FOR MY CIRCLE...I have much support, true believers & honest/wise words given to me!
5th- Control your emotions!!! It's the only way to think clearly and navigate with ease through your personal life and business!! Do not let obstacles make you freeze up or stop! You fight & fight some more and push and push again and knock until the world answers and when that fails pick locks, go through back doors/windows. Be aggresive but conscious of others...of course you can do both! I'm a Boss Bitch and Imhotep all in one.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST- POSITIVE ENERGY!!...If you are reading this right now and you have friends and business partners that are not on the 100% building of you and themselves...YOU ARE SLOWING YOUR OWN PROGRESS & BLOCKING YOUR RECEPTORS!! Negativity is waiting for you as soon as you open your eyes in the morning, so to have that fighting you from the outside and it's inside your circle...Good Luck.

NOW IT'S PICTURES TIME YALL! YAAAY =D (CLICK ALL PICS TO ENLARGE)

1st Shoot...
After We Were Rudely Kicked Out Of The Museum, I had to brainstorm(thank goodness my MUA gave me an idea. We Had To Walk In Snow & Wait For A Bus To Migrate to my Mentor's House

Look At How They Were So Beautiful & Patiently Waiting In The Snow

Yall Thought I Was Bullshiting...Uh uh, We Sure Hopped On The Bus...All 100 of Us. lol That's what I'm Talking Bout When I Say Surround Your Self W/ Positive Ppl And You Can't Go Wrong..Some Were Fr Da City all The Way To Jersey And Stuck It Out!!

WE FINALLY GET ON SET AND IT WAS COOoOLD BUT IT WAS LOTS OF FUN STILL. PPL WERE LOOKING AT THE MODELS LIKE THEY WERE MOVIE STARS AND WE LAUGHED OUR ASSES OFF AT AMPRESS AND KINSHASAA FRONTIN LIKE THEY TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING FOR THE SHOOT, RARA COMING DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE A BITCH-DIVA & AND TRUE AND JARED ACTING LIKE REVOLUTIONARIES TRYING TO GET THE GIRLS TO CALL THEM(ALL GREAT ACTORS & ACTRESSES BY THE WAY) & UMMKHAIR & ZAKIYA BEING ALL INFORMATIVE AND CRACKING JOKES :) ...ME I WAS JUST BEING TASIYA....ALWAYS MOVING, DEAD TIRED THO

Aww The guys were cold..you know I'll warm em up *wink wink* in a professional way...I think?..aw hell forget it, my poor mind has already been perverted. lol

I was fluffing dat fro, chick in da green was like "it's big enough", ZZ was laughing as usual...many different thoughts were flying at this point. lol

This is the part where the acting took place, "Peace Queen can I call you?"..."Who me?" lol they were too funny and Rara controlling her guys like a Sealey do. =D
