My writting : 808s & Mistakes.

so after watching kanye west get choked up on a interview he did the day after his vma mess up. i was inspired to cook up this mental rant. so here it is.

there is something so beautiful about a person in pain.
a person who has lost something or someone.
a person engulfed in self-hatred
or a person who is restricted by the walls of resentment.
i'm talking about someone who has been hurt
there is something so beautiful about them.
pain can break down the most arrogant person
and turn them into a vulnerable soul.
vulnerability is pure beauty.
there is something so intriguing about that person and their tears.
when you look at a person crying.
cause when you see them crying you see the endless possibilites of what God can do to heal them,
you just have to.
what i'm thinking and feeling is hard to explain.
the most beautiful things come out of pain.
with pain comes no fear, no distraction.
there is such an artistic value to someone who has been through hell.
cause the hell that person has been through rips away that mask of their ficitional self
and the reality of their true persona comes out.
that is...after they've been through hell.
this only leads me to the question...
"where would we be as a human race without adversity?...
without feeling like no one understands...
without feeliing like life would be better if lived on another planet in some other galaxy...
would we evolve into the beautiful creatures we are today?
hurt people hurt people. people make mistakes
and when people realize their mistakes their potential is endless.
there is no wisdom without minor stupidities
it's hard to explain but there is something so beautiful about a person in pain.
especially when they are living under the flashing lights.

Halle Berry still brings FIRE.

halle berry is still one of the most gorgeous celebs ive ever seen. SHE WAS ROCKING that black cut out dress. halle berryyyyyyy halle berry lol

Art of my favorite people. Amber Rose, Kanye.

I LOVE IT SOOO FREAKING MUCH. AMBER ROSE IS FIERCE!

MJ this is it!

so i saw Mj's this is it yesterday and absolutely loved. he was so good even at 50 it was amazing. and he was so kind to everyone he worked with on that tour. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON <3

Mama M.I.A.! i love her style.

so above is her infamous grammy dress. i love how she performed in this because despite her huge baby bump. she rocked something she would wear if she was back to her skinny self. i loved her confidence in it that made me love the piece itself. and also im a sucker for something sheer lol.


then i love this t-shirt she wore. it's that old african print that i love. cause anything you wear in it screams black power lol. and she is making my favorite face to make lol..she seems so cool


now this outfit is nuts...but id wear it. cause the way this picture was taken. she's smiling and performing in it. the play on patterns seems to be a trade mark of hers and i love it


now this pic is dope. ladylovebomb approved for sure cause she's so confident in the most ridiculous outfit. her boobs are birds but she doesn't show any ounce of insecurity. and i love the seemingly "i don't give a care" placement of blonde streaks in her hair. and the colors and the background make this a hot pic.


this last pic made me pay attention to M.I.A cause this dress is really sexy. but it still gives a baggy t-shirt vibe. the cut outs give a wow factor. i love this too. and the minty green color is surprisingly a nice color on her brown skin. i might consider the color myself now. (: 5 stars for M.I.A

Favorite Rihanna outfits.

so i love this outfit about because her lace shirt gives off a sexy vibe without being to "skanky" if you will. and a high waisted pencil skirt always makes a girl look more curvy especially if its a form fitting fabric. and her earrings look as though the hurt but they are so elegant. i felt this was still hardcore rihanna with a much softer look


this second look was the picture that made me wanna change my look up. this pic above started the road to my own good girl gone bad look. rihanna has inspired me so much in fashion. this outfit above is edgy and still pretty but in a completely different way then the first look. her hat is laid back and even a little boyish. and her leather jacket screams edgy. but the red lip and ruffle skirt off sets it and makes it girly. the perfect example of edgy goddess. like i love the type of look that plays with boyish and girly clothes.

these outfits right here are five stars!

ART is in the pictures.

so i was web surfing and discovered more kanye west glow in the dark book photos. and this one is now my desktop background cause i love his outfit and the way the colors have an overall flow.

Art by etta. one of my paintings.

thats me. hard at work on one of my lastest pieces. i have yet to give it a title.

My OUTFIT yesterday.

this is one of those outfits where i felt 100% me. my t-shirt was from wet seal and my red kicks were given to me from my auntie lol and the plaid shirt was from delias.

"Zipper Dress"

thanks to chris brown @ mechanicaldummy.com i discovered this dress he posted. i like to call it the infamous ZIPPER DRESS lol...i love it and definitely wish it was in my wardrobe. this is timeless fashion for all the edgy people out there. LADYLOVEBOMB APPROVED FOR SURE! like 5 stars serious.

THIS IS IT!...MICHAEL JACKSON LOVE.

im sooooo sooo soo soo so so so excited to see the michael jackson movie. this is it. everytime i see previews i get lost in the enchantment of michael's music. & i like this picture too because hes rockin a hot purple tie and some colored jeans... and the look on his face is so tough. I LOVE MICHAEL and always will.

FAVORTIE PICTURE of kanye.

lol (: hahaha <333 idk i just love this pic.

Rihanna is bringing heat. but is it getting old?

so rihannadaily posted a promotional photo of rihannna the other day. basically my thoughts are that this pic is fierce. yet im starting to not that rihanna isn't comming up with anything new in style....it's the same shaved sides winged eyeliner looks that are starting to repeat themselves.... its just i like how she went from long and brown to bob and black and then really short and black and then really short and blonde then extra long in the middle and blone...like im just wondering...will she be able to have something new? idk I STILL LOVE THIS. and seemingly judging from her new single...her music is DEFINITELY something new. ALWAYS PROPS TO RIHANNA.

Shake it fast... more pics.

i was in the hospital like all day at one point....so i took more pics.

Shake what your momma gave ya <3

so i got kinda carried away with shaking the camera to make this cool artsy look. so while in traffic i shook the camera. IT TURNED OUT HOT THOUGH.

all black everything...new shirt.

so im basically in love with this new shirt i got a vintage store. the netting or croche is beautiful. and its pretty sexy cause it tastefully shows skin.

While in H-town....CHOCOLATE LOVE.

we also went to the chocolate factory in gavelston texas.

While in H-town...SHOPPING.

while in houston my auntie took me to some vintage stores and thrift stores and also a african art exhibit. SO HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASES. <3 heres pics from the african art exhibits....i felt like i was back in my homeland of CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. shout out to the cape verdians. pictured you can see me playing a authentic african drum.

also im pictured wearing a N.E.R.D seeing sounds t-shirt from hot topic.

PHOTO LOVE: AMBER ROSE.

so this is just a really good pic of ford model and rapper kanye's girlfriend...AMBER ROSE. like shes got a HUGE TATTOO ON HER ARM and short hair that could make her look manly and like a boy. but shes looks so DANG GORGEOUS. YOU GO GIRL. she reminds me to keep doin me. cause the other day i dropped my phone and started walking away. some lady called me "SIR" and i turned around and she was like "oops i mean mam" . the short hair and not so girly clothes shouldn't mean im a boy. but even if people mistake me for one. ILL BE A PRETTY BOY lol!

I still GO HARD for KanYe!

so recently ive been basically PISSED at the fact that there was so hoax saying "RIP Kanye West" on twitter. initaly when i saw it i almost flipped out and thought my boy was dead. PEOPLE are so cruel these days. CELEBRITIES are not object...they are REAL people. KanYe lost his mom. that still to this day doesn't excuse him from being rude and doing stupid stuff. be the man lost his mom. let him mourn for GOD SAKES. HURT people HURT people. we all make mistakes. i still love this guy. deep down he's a beautiful soul. the entertainment industry wouldn't be the same without kanye and everybody knows that. heres his grammy tribute to his mom. i love how he took all theses emotions of losing a mom. and put it in a song. (RIP Donda West)

ART in photos.

pics from kanye's glow in the dark tour.

NEW purchase-> purple eyeliner

so im also excited about this. lol just felt like sharring it with you.PURPLE EYELINER<3

NEW KICKS!

so as im posting this im currently wearing some new sneakers i got while in the infamous "H-town" [houston.] i got em in marshalls...and im totally in love. sometimes you don't have to go to the elite fashion stores with high prices. you can't get hot stuff pretty cheap (:

WANT -> SpongeBob T-shirt

so im definitely in love with this spongebob that pictured pharrell williams rocks it so loverly lol...i just want this so much so much so FLIPPING MUCH. lol this would make my christmas <3 lol



and btw i think this is going to be yet another DIY idea ...the back of this jacket with the pearls and spelling out chanel is hot...i would put my name....ETTA<3

Rihanna keeps the heat.

so these are pictures from the set of rihanna's new music video. the hair is still "GROWING ON ME" but for some reason i love this oufit. <3

photo cred is rihanna daily of course.

I still DONT get Cassie's HAIR...i don't get it.

ok so CASSIE VENTURA is a pretty girl. i still don't get why shes really keeping this hairstyle of half her head being shaved. & the funny thing is people are actually copying her. like rihanna is worthy of copying. cassie i just don't get it. & she had to be from connecticut. it's funny cause my sister's boyfriend's old roomate from college used to date her lol....small world. but THIS IS SUCH A NO NO NO NO NO and the half shaved head limits her from doing a lot of stuff with her hair. this annoys me so much cause shes so pretty...pictured below is her with all her hair...looking like the gorgeous model she is..SMH SMH SMH SMH
