WICKED TIME at J.A.P.S AND B.A.P.S event at 1 OAK, HELLA WICKED time at David La Chapelle “American Jesus” event, met up with fashionistas including La Chapelle, George Wayne, Kenny Kenny, The Blonds, Mao, Nikki V! The music was hella propa! I vogued the night away with Lee!

NYC fashion week was serenely quiet for me this season.  The economy as well as the loss of one of the wickedest designers of all time Alexander McQueen was felt everywhere I turned. Either way I enjoy coming to NYC for fashion week, I am always well received even when not working it on the runway.  J’ADORE NEW YORK!

I would like to take the time out to thank my family, friends, clients and fans who have supported me throughout all the years.  We are all blessed and it’s important for us to give thanks not only to the most high but to each and everyone that helped shape our lives each and every New Year!

I am giving aspiring designers the opportunity to be recognized by wearing one of their designs to a major event. 

Send me pictures/websites to see your designs and if I like anything I WILL ROCK IT for you to an event! Get on it now if you want ME to rock YOU at at a major event!!!

Having Thomas Bollmann and Ingrid Jones from Seed9 shot me for their premier issue of Poor But Sexy was  by far THE BEST photo shoot that I have EVER done in Canada!  Not only was the photographer and art director on point capturing their vision, the stylist, hair and makeup team EVEN the food that Ingrid prepared made this shoot inspiring and enjoyable!  

Big up to Thomas Bollmann, Ingrid Jones, Janet Jackson, Alarice Jones and Aniya Nandy I enjoyed taking Canada to the next level AGAIN with you guys!
