Happy Birthday to my little (big) sister Adrienne! Yes, I’m older but in life she is noticeably “taller.” 29 years ago, 6 days before my birthday, she ended my run as an only child… and she’s been following me around ever since! j/k Her September 23 birthday falls on the Virgo/Libra cusp, so when I don’t want to claim her as a fellow Libra…I excuse her for having Virgo tendencies! lol
I am so thankful and blessed to have Adrienne as a sister. She is smart, kind & wise… AND no matter what, she is there for me. She is also a very talented designer and I love to brag about her whenever possible!
So, if you’re in SF, be sure to check out posters ADE designed for “Where Art Lives.” The life size posters are up all along Market Street. You can also see more of her work on her website http://adrienneaquino.com
Here we are circa 1984 with our baby sister Alison…
Here’s another “throwback” video from February 2008. Check out my interview and demo with “Weavin’ Steve” … one of the best in the “weave” game!” He has all sorts of extremely creative “Fantasy Hair Designs,” including a “hair-icopter” – yes, it flies… and he even gets me in one of his exclusive looks! Watch the video…
He gave me more of a “patriotic” look! It is ALL made out of hair!
A few of my favorite guys, who also happen to make up the uber talented music producing trio, The Stereotypes, are featured in the latest issue of Billboard Magazine (Miley Cyrus cover), as part of the 10 Songwriters and Producers to watch!
Congratulations to Jonstreet, Jermbeats and Rayro! I’m so glad they’re getting some well-deserved recognition for their work. You may recognize their music with hits like Danity Kane’s “Damaged” to Neyo’s “Why Does She Stay” and Mary J. Blige feat. T.I. on “Good Love.” It just goes to show that if you stay true to your passion and keep on your grind…anything is possible.

My sister Adrienne is such a cutie pie! The other week for Bay to Breakers, her and her friend followed a “Solid Gold” theme and participated in the festiviites. Gotta love it!!
When they first started planning the outing, she showed me the costume “pieces” she found to put her get up together and I think she worked it!!
Here’s the group shot…
And finally, one of the gals put together a video highlight reel..watch here…I don’t see my sister’s face, but I’d know her dancing booty anywhere!!
Jae Millz has been “flooding” the mixtape scene with new music with his FLOOD series and next on his agenda is a new “Virgo” mixtape, so look out for that! In the meantime he released a trio of videos this week…two being beautifully shot and edited by Geohvision (geohvision@gmail.com) in record time!
So, there’s this really cool new space on Miami Beach called Nowhere Lounge + Event Space. It’s available only for private functions and is a great space to have an event and after party all in one! See for yourself…
Last fall I shot some photos with Miami photographer Derek Gil, and today while I was going through some old emails I came across some of the shots, so I decided to share.
I love this sunset shot where you can also see my reflection in the car…
