Ruby Giraffe Fall 2012 Photoshoot

Striver Row, the two block radius of Harlem known for it's debonair, charm & multimillion dollar brownstones, was the backdrop for something rare. When I type "rare", I mean rarity in its' pure form. A dream actually blossomed and came to life within a 3 hours span.

The imagineer extraordinaire ( photographer/stylist/scouter of location) was Ms. Sherry of http://weightinginvain.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/tagoes-closet-x-weighting-in-vain-blog.html, she is a London/New York Fashionsta with a killer Great Britain meets New York accent. She is fly. She came to the photo shoot with a beautiful cream knit dress, vintage shades and her hair coiffed into a high bun. She scouted Striver Row.

The photo shoot was filled with New York Craziness & my psycho eyes. Everytime, Sherry said, " look at the camera", I gave her the "cray" eye. Since our shoot was actually on the street, I actually had to get dressed/undressed on the streets of New York. I LOVED IT!












 

Fly Higher: Daily Motivation

Happy Independence Day! As I work diligently everyday on Ruby Giraffe, I am reminded how easy it is to doubt yourself and your dreams. I want to encourage everyone to perform a daily self affirmation, it can be as simple as looking in the mirror and saying, " I am wonderful, I am powerful".

I want you all to fly high. Imagine if you believed that anything was possible, the feats that you could accomplish. Well, I am telling you ANYTHING is possible with Christ. Never let doubt into your mind. Doubt kills dreams and potential.

Fly high, soar like an eagle.


Months ago, I thought of this:

Accomplishing dreams/goals is similar to birds taking flight. Birds when taking into flight flap their wings, hard and fast to get out the ground. Sometimes, they don't make it off the ground but they try again. This time, they have learned from their experience and they flap harder and harder until they take flight.
