Miss Cari BAYBEE

ANTM cycle 7 winner recently debuted her new mohawk...i like it...it def gives her way more edge instead of looking like a nice girl blonde...ANOTHER LOVELY LADY WITH A MOHAWK :) caridee english was front row at a christian siriano fashion show...also spotted at the same show was amber rose in this blue outfit.

Can you hear me now?

so i think i want a mickey mouse ears hat for my 19th birthday LOL ive spotted a trend..where ever since rihanna's hard music video its seemingly cool and some sort of edgy girly trend to wear these ears...idk i like em..def not a everday look but then again lady gaga rocks hair bows OUT OF HAIR..and she says to wear what ever you like...so im gonna have to agree with her and maybe just maybe i might get me some.

LOL :-)

When a good girl goes BADDD

so being bad is a obvious trend...you dont have to really be bad in your life..just in your clothes...leather skirts..leather jackets, studded bracelets and spikes...give you a automatic COOL CARD. lol... and in addition add a perfectly applied smokey eye and your unleashing your inner rebel.. heres some pictures for proof of the trend.

SUMMER 2010

so just randomly i want a high waisted bikini for summer 2010. im going on a family vacation in may to north carolina and i want a high waisted bikini...ive actually wanted one for a while..but now im dead serious lol

not too many girls rock it so not only is it stand out but i love the vintage feel of it. so this is my next IT fashion thing for the summer.

My favorite Barbie

so these have been out for a little while. but i just wanted to post about the lady gaga barbie dolls. i love em. i want one..and they are so fierce and give barbie an edge!

You make me rant on and on about nothing

your mind doesnt want to let your heart CARE for me.
the thought of LOVING me intimidates you.
It bothers you so much your heart shivers timidly at the sound of my name.
Because my name is a mere label to the greatness within me.
Your so used to dissapointment that you rather pass up my shine
and just go off to a lonely and DULL place.
you dont want to put effort in me... because i require more effort then you could ever know.
your heart fears my name. cause my name is the ont that makes your heart beat faster and your palms sweat a little more then usual.
MY name is the name you dont wanna hear cause im the girl of your dreams...
you rather just have some random playmate then the real deal.
its succh a sad story.
you've programed your MIND not to CARE for me.


dear you, i wish you well love, me.

Written Melodies

I just wanna live in a world full of colorful people. a world where no one is black and white..everyone just glows in the dark. neon greens, vibrant yellows, stand out oranges. I just wanna go to a place where everyone glows in the dark

-Me-

in other terms i wanna go to a place where everyone is mentally free and expressing everything with in their hearts and souls. the clothes they wear reflect the state of mind they are in and the word strange doesnt exist. i fantasize about living in a place where tattoos are an everyday thing and the word conservative just doesnt make sense...ultimately i just want to be in a place where i have absolutely no restrictions on TRULY BEING ME. thats my fantasy.

<3

black eyed peas spark honest thought

TRUTH!


this song is madddd deep....and really makes you think..like listening to the words will make you realize where we are as a generation right now...and make you take a moment and think about your priorities...

thoughts

so the older i get.. (ill be 19 in a month) the more i discover myself and the more i realize that i am so much bolder, faster, stronger, braver then i could ever imagine years ago. as you already know i shaved the sides and back of my head...but funny thing is everyone keeps calling me brave..so ive sat down and thought about things...and i realized that im comfortable being the odd one out..sure i complain here and there at the loneliness aspect but i enjoy being different. I PRIDE MYSELF on being strange.."i got that lady gaga swagg" honestly i wouldnt be the etta i am today without going through the adversities of people making fun of the one thing they will never understand about me..my ability to do the opposite of the crowd. shaving my head was shaving away my mom telling me no and not "go crazy and lose my mind" with what i decide to do with my hair. shaving my head was shaving away the idea of having to see strands of hair on my head to feel beautiful.. i cant say this enough....but cutting my hair paints such a bigger picture and i know im helping someone who is reading this...beauty comes from within...confidence is self made...no one else in this world will be confident for you...idk im just happy at my general growth into becomming the person that i am..and i have no other plans but to continue to explore the greatness within me and live my life by my pencil and sketch pad and those thoughts that others would be afraid to pay attention to.

i respect the fashion

you know recently ive just grown to have so much respect for solange knowles and her idividuality...initaly i shut her down and was like everbody else and called her a second rate version of her sister but..im digging solange's style..she doesnt try to be like anyone else and not to mention her son is sooo cute :) here a pics of her with long hair rocking her eyeliner the way she likes and a cute pic of her more recently with her short hair. i like her better with short hair. PROPS TO SOLANGE!

who does etta look like?

so facebook had this thing where you put your profile pic as a celeb lookalike and i chose this pic of keri hilson...ive been called keri hilson before..so its cool. i strategically picked this pic though cause this was when she did a michael jackson tribute and i loved her outfit..and yess i would totally wear it..a modern tribute to MJ loved it

kerin rose.

so kerin rose not only makes cool chain and studded sunglasses but she also makes BRAS apparently...i just had to repost this pic that she twitpic...thats what you call expressing yourself and being an individual!

the picture is painted.

ok so i love this pic not only because its of my two favorite people in music and fashion KANYE AND RIHANNA BUT ALSO because it shows perfectly the trend thats been electrifying the world. the "girly man look" LOL basically due to people like kelis and rihanna and amber rose...its hot to have short hair...boyish haircuts with a girly twist. and with an edgy haircut comes more edgy outfits therefore leaving alot of girls on the streets of america looking like they stole atleast one item of their outfit from their brother or boyfriend. and here in this pic BOTH rihanna and kanye are in a tuxedo be rihanna still looks absolutely beautiful and kanye looks handsome... I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

FASHION FINDS

so here are some random fashion finds natalie portman looks stunning in this more edgy look...i think she should embrace edgy in her personal style. and the michael jackson dress is a reminder that MJ WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN INFLUENCE NOT ONLY ON MUSIC BUT FASHION. thats what icons do!

i just would also like to point of that smokey eyes and red lip will NEVER GET OLD. and sequins is in...especially due to MJ influence.

Goo Goo GaGa

so today i went furniture shopping with my aunt cause she wanted a new coffee table and it was 73 DEGREES! i so dont miss connecticut weather when im in texas and its 73 degrees out here in houston..but anyways.... point is.. i was in the store and bad romance came on the radio..then later i was waiting for my aunt in her car and bad romance was on the radio...POINT BLACK PERIOD I love lady gaga. and i was jamming to her fame monster CD all day today. im so excited for the telephone video feat beyonce cause i know its gonna be cool to see beyonce in the world of gaga as opposed to gaga acting like beyonce in the videophone video...so here in honor of my love for gaga is some pics i found while surfing the web and searching gaga art.

solange knowles is pretty cool

so i just recently noticed that im kinda like solange knowles...like my older sister renee is beyonce and im solange...cause i cut my hair i love random lipstick colors...and im similiar to renee but in a totally different way lol

like my sister is soo into heels and plain colors and what not...and im into sneakers and leather jackets and graphic t-shirts...idk i just had a epiphany lol

my little nephew darryl is soo darn cute

so just recently i found out that my sister is having another boy...and im adding YET ANOTHER NEPHEW to my family...i was a little dissapointed cause i wanted another niece but WHATEVER i love all my nephews and one niece lol...




heres a couple of pics of me and my nephew darryl (from a different sister then the one i was talking about earlier) i miss that little fat face of his.

arte es my vida

recent works with charcoal and ink....im gonna go back and add details to both of them <3

OUR MONTH

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!

now is the time to remember the greatness that lies within our beautiful brown skin. we have overcome adversity with grace...and just recently have shown that its never too late to do something great. obama is indeed our president and obama and his family have brown skin indeed...princess tiana is brown and she's in disney doing her thing so please people...lets not go back...lets not entertain steretypes but lets break them..i refuse to be like the rest of society and stuck in mental slavery...i would hate myself for being the cause of someone living out stereotypes and being the example that alll ___ do that... society will say one thing but i dare you guys...BROWN OR WHITE .. i dare you guys to go against society..ignore color..AND BE YOU! <3

my brown skin people...love the skin your in.

ok so everyone's comparing so...

so i got mad love for beyonce....trust and believe...and i love me some rihanna. my reader's already know that...but lately stupid rihanna haters have been getting on my last nerves lol ever since the chris brown incident...people stay tryna make rihanna out to be the bad guy or something...like i dont know rihanna personally but still i defend her cause ive payed attention to her album and interviews...and SHE IS HUMAN....so this whole rihanna wasnt allowed to touch juelz (solange's son) at the grammys is just stupid....like im sure beyonce and rihanna are good friends and because of her closeness with jay-z has basically become friend of the family....like everyone was loving her when he was with chris...but now..people wanna hate..but yeh its whateva... BUT BACK TO MY POST lol

beyonce's performance dress was ALREADY worn by rihanna in her italian vogue that came out sometime in november..... so to all the beyonce lovers who hate rihanna EAT THAT! lol remember i love them both though cause i can get down to single ladies..shoot! lol

BTW WHEN THE HECK IS THE TELEPHONE VIDEO GONNA COME OUT? I WANT MY LADY GAGA FEAT BEYONCE!

BRETTA

i love my best friend brittney daggs. i cannot wait for her to come visit me this summer. :) :)

i want KAMBER

so here are some pics of recent kanye west and amber rose spottings. they are all candids from them attending different fashion shows this past week in paris and other places. ONCE AGAIN I STAND BY MY STATEMENT THAT KANYE AND AMABER ARE FASHION'S "IT COUPLE" <3

OMG ETTA WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?!?

so just recently i pulled a cassie/alice dellal/rihanna/britney and shaved the sides and back of my head...so basically its a mohawk gone short...so everyone asked the question WHY when they saw it....

I DID IT BECAUSE I COULD...and cutting my hair is a emotional thing for me because when i cut it...it forces me to be completely confident in my look and who i am...like my friends say when they react to my new haircuts .. "etta you have guts" its a power thing...i not only feel hardcore but i feel amazing when i can look in the mirror and literally be like 80% blad and STILL SEE BEAUTY <3
so moral of the story...NEVER BE AFRAID to try something new...AND I MEAN NEVER...when it comes to beauty...taking risks is the most gorgeous thing you could ever do.
