NYC

I spent the last week in NYC – part business, always pleasure and of course it was 100% hustle. I stayed with my good friend and Raiderette sister Tamae, who’s a high fashion designer – for Ishii NYC,  living on the Upper East Side with his Persian Cats and a long-hair chihuahua named Dauphine, nicknamed “Fatty” ..she weighs a whole 3 pounds and has more than 50 doggy couture outfits! lol

The day I arrived it was rainy, and everyone was saying it just got cold, but PLEASE, with my thin blood, anything under 70 is “ice cubes!” haha Nonetheless, I met up with my cousin Gemmie who was in NYC visiting from ATL, and then Tamae took me to Max Brenner Chocolate for some really tasty hot chocolate. On Sunday, we ventured out to a NY Knicks game at MSG…my first time there EVER! It was a lot smaller than I expected, but definitely a packed house with loyal fans…and they won!

My cousin Arielle came down for the day from SUNY Purchase to hang out…

…and we had great seats..right behind the visitor’s bench..happened to be the NJ Nets that day!

That night we had dinner at TAO with a friend from the Daily News, and feasted on a decadent dessert platter!

Monday I met up with my artist VADO in Harlem for his photo shoot!

Thanks to Ivan, Abby, Manda and Natalie…lots of different looks, it was good times!!

Betweeen Monday and Tuesday I was running around shooting segments for On The Flipside and Locker Blogger, went by the CAVI NYC office and also visited with the Stereotypes who were in town recording….then Tuesday night Anjelah Johnson flew in, so we had to meet up too!

Jae Millz DUB Photoshoot

Yesterday was a busy day for me and my (Young Money) artist  Jae Millz. After a couple weeks, of planning, styling, coordinating and hustle…we were under a Miami bridge for Millz DUB Magazine photoshoot. He LOVED the purple watch….

Thanks to The Collection for the beautiful 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante, as well as the shoot stylist Brie of Abriel Style, and “photo shoot” expert Kimi from Pamper Me Pink, they both kept me sane with all the last minute adjustments. I also appreciate UPnUP for accepting my invite to shoot some behind the scenes action for us! You can see more pix from the shoot here http://upnup.blogspot.com/2009/10/jae-millz.html

….and he also put together a quick video of the Millz shoot.

It’s the first of 3 planned locations and it’s a gym, just for…WOMEN! It’s co-owned by two lovely ladies, Yamin Meneses and Cynthia Alonso. It is SO WONDERFUL to meet and work with other females who are doing their thing!

Hoodie Pix

One of my bestest childhood friend’s (Maureen) husband, Jaymer, snapped these shots for me a while back in San Francisco. He’s taken up photography and does a really good job…and gets better with every shoot! I think these are from back in February 2009.

I hadn’t posted them and now, looking back at them, I really like my hoodie in the shot, courtesy of Roselle at Nalej in Santa Clara. I think the thing I need to work on is my “pop-out” eyes issue…they get so big when I take pix! lol

Thanks to all who helped on this early morning shoot, my sister Adrienne, Helena, Jo Ill and of course http://www.jaymeriloveyourphotos.com/
