Dear Diary,

SIGH…feeling of relief, I guess. Today is Friday. This has been the longest two weeks EVER! I have been helping to get models and everyone info for the Fashion Show on Saturday. It is going to be quite a lovely show. I can’t wait to get my hair and make-up done…so fun (I sound like a little kid, I know *sticks tounge out*). The run through went rather well yesterday. I always try to add diversity to a show….I hate when it’s all one race sometimes…you gotta mix it up! =) I am very excited about a lot of the outfits…my outfits are pretty great, one dress I might need a price for tomorrow and it will be my birthday dress *OWWWW*.

I am all and all excited that I was able to help out so much with the show. Ever since I took the sales lead/manager job at Vickies…I feel like I am not afraid to try to be over things. Before I became a manager I was always nervous sometimes to be over things because stuff always goes wrong, but I realized that nothing ever goes as perfectly planned as you want it to and that’s life.

I will just end my entry with tonight will be a nice night…drinks with one of my really good friends and then off to a ladies night about our finances and more. This should be a really nice night…I am definitely looking forward to it.

To a great weekend,
Franky J

Beyonce and Lady GaGa…Enough Said…

I am so mad I can’t find the Telephone Music Video everyone saw…just realized Telephone with Lady GaGa feat. Beyonce doesn’t have a video. If I am wrong…let me know but “in the mean time” this is hot….can we say NASTY! OWWW! LOL

Giving this video two whole days of watching, I have realized that some of this video does not make any sense…nonetheless…I think Lady GaGa and Beyonce as a combo is BRILLIANT!

Ads vs Aids

From Longview Gallery in DC:

In the mid- to late-1980s, while the medical world was grappling with how to combat the frightening and deadly new virus it discovered in 1984, admen like Jeff McElhaney were struggling with how to raise public awareness of the new dangers this microscopic and mysterious enemy presented. The show features 28 original pieces of propaganda-created mostly by ad hoc underground teams since established advertising agencies weren’t quite ready to embrace the then-taboo issue on a corporate level-designed to sell everything from safe sex to HIV/AIDS support services. The exhibit represents a quarter century of ads for AIDS’ sake and will be on display through the end of December.An opening reception will be held on World AIDS Day.

WORLD AIDS DAY

Melanie Fiona

I posted her video a long time ago, but a friend just sent me a link of her just singing for fun…looks like…she rocked it. I finally got a copy of her cd and it is OFF THE HOOK!

Outfit on A Budget

In the picture above the shirt from the swap was Banana Republic, the belt was something a friend brought to a swap party, the shorts were Mossimo (the brand at Target), and everything else was purchased. In total, the outfit was probably about $40-$50 (including the Naughty Monkey shoes that can’t be seen). You just can’t beat that.

I recently got hip to clothing swap parties. This where you bring in anything that has been lightly worn and see what others have to offer. You get to go through and pick items that you want. Everything is totally free!!!!!!! I have been to two of these and found some great pieces that were NAME BRAND. =)
