raise ya hand

..if you's a bad bitch.

Present!

so i've been having this moment where i realize im not gettin any younger and lookin half-put-together by this age aint the biz. i guess you can also say i've done an overhaul In My Life, altogether. part of this is due to the fact i've quit the boozin & schmoozin, even so far as sayin i definitely dont puff like i used to which in turn makes it easier for me to stay focused, wake up earlier and do what i gots ta do! ive also come to the realization that doin your make-up on the train in the am may be a productive way to pass the ten minute ride but does not look cute from the outside looking in. bein the lovely little lady i am, i need to have those things done before i leave the house, easy peasey right? little changes like these translate to even bigger changes in other areas and this is how lovelier things are able to fall into place.

part of this includes your mani's and pedi's. i've really been feelin the au natural look for the past few months, which is all well and good but really theres no beef with gettin a little wild with it every now and again, am i right? plus im a big fan of switchin things up and keepin people on their toes anyway. [heehee] Although.. these past few weeks i guess being settled is givin me the itchees and i am longing for a slight peek into the past in terms of nail designs.

low and behold! i just found out my former nail guru Tony is back in the game. i heard he fell off the face of the earth not too long ago but has reemerged and in the old neighborhood no less! a few years back i would have to venture out to the burbs to get my fix but in the end it was worth it because he had major sick styles and always hooked it up. i didnt even mind paying the little extra he charged. when it's worth it, it's worth it. and price is no issue.

like i said, my GM had mentioned that he moved to our usual spot in HLP, which is like the surprise of the month for me! i stopped going to Tina's not only because i was over payin for someone to paint my nails when i was perfectly willing and able but also because there were always so many lame dames around when i went [a mini hs reunion if you will] and for the most part the nail ladies were just "fallin off" in my opinion. alas, my man is back and ready for some action at the familiar cheaper prices so i am on a mission to make an appointment with him and get some goodies goin! im feelin like gettin a little ghetto fab with it, Ha! and im really gonna dig the ferocity of my funky nails against my proper little work outfits, you know that kinda notion: lady in the streets, freak in the sheets! :giggle:

i posted some pretty gorge setups above to get my creative juices flowin. we'll see what him & i can come up with. the old team is back and runnin. Watch Out World!
