Puma Puma Puma!!





To tell you the truth im a bit knackered, to go into detail about this wonderful event.So let me be as brief as I can...ahem..

So I was invited to a puma party to celebrate the guy who design some of the puma trainers birthday(sorry I forgot his name),it was also an exhibition to celebrate his work thus far.
It was wonderfully presented and organised by the wonderful Mr Merrick Johnson aka Mr Dopeness!!( thats my offical title for him in my previous blog titled Lady Glock Photography/Candy Coated Jewels). Inside and outside was packed and free beer was near enough in everybodys hands


Here are some pics of the Puma Trainers displayed
This pair of Pumas are damn well sexy!!
After mingling with the people we decided to go downstairs where the party began and started to shock out for a while,
Check out Mr Lingo

And then the wonderful night was over, but we still chilled outside and hung out for a bit

Group Pic with Richard Shoyemi..love itt!

Bookaholic....


WARNING... do not let me go to Borders or any book shop when short on cash!!

I visited two book shops in one day and consumed four books and a vogue magazine! reading feeds my curiosity but one in particular caught my eye....

As ,Iwas leaving borders content with my Alice Walker book I came across this..








it autiomatically pulled me towards the table and had me flicking thru the pages with big wide eyes!



I could not put the book down nor leave it where it was and had to go straight to the cashier to purchase it!



I love the fact that it is a humorous type of photography, although Terry Richardson has an obsession with his phallus and everything within a sexual nature, but I loved his comparisons between two photographs such as this



and also a comparison between a blow up doll... and its human twin,I have an inkling that she also has the same occupation lol











and this one I LOVE! I have a thing for black & white/sepia photography...



Grrr..Meeeowwww!!


Hahahaha at this one!!



Love ittt!

Modern buildings in the distance...

I was walking through Borough with my peoples and came acorss a few modern buildings.I had my camera in hand(as always) and decided to click away. There was no particular reason for the pics of buildings it just looked so beautiful to me in contrast to the grey clouds. Me being me I thought I would share it with the world.


Enjoy

The tunnel!












ahhh the Tunnel.One decides to be an adventurer a tourist in my own city! and see about this magical tunnel @ Towerbrige just out side the queens hall., which connects to people on the other side of the world @ Brooklyn Bridge. After a hard day of work, good ole 9-5 i took it upon my self to make my journey. When I arrived a few people were hanging around.

Here i was being little naive me ,thinking it was free.... nope! you had to pay 100 pennies! yes indeed £1 to see this tunnel with a web cam and no sound, so I queued up waiting to put place my golden coin to receive a ticket, now doesn't this ticket dispenser remind you of the movie Big with Tom hanks?












I waited for a couple of seconds and tadaaa! I received my ticket!
















while I was waiting in the queue for my turn to wave at strangers I thought I would take pic of good ole Tower Bridge ( also known as London bridge to Fergie and other passive viewers of her video...tut tut)







After about ten minutes it was my turn and a bunch of other tourist to wave at Americans!!
















You really can't see it too well but this how it looked in the tunnel
















For a good minute I was there staring into the screen watching people stare back at me. But then we started playing paper, scissors, rock with one dude and another challenged me to a pop n lock contest! now if u didn't already know I'm a danceaholic so I challenged him back! then I looked around me & felt a little bit out of place ...one black girl getting her groove on with a bunch of tourist with cameras in hand ready to snap away and city people (you know the ones with the stiff upper lip) at this point I took it upon myself to simmer down for a hot minute, smiled and waved LOL!


As myself and the other visitors started to enjoy our London/New York connection, an old lady came by and started waving and the the cam froze! shock shock horror horror! was this fraud?! was this even real?? was this all recorded and made us think it was actually live!! I was going to demand my 100 pennies back but decided such force was not necessary, however I had fun and at least I can say I met a stranger @ Brooklyn Bridge without having to leave Tower Bridge!





I wanna give a shout out to my dearest East Coast/ New Yorkers.. firstly my Brooklynite LINKY POOHZ!! I love youu!! and SAMMUELZ/SIGHFUR the man with the magic beats, my word prophet/lyrical genius!! I love this man , his delivery, flow & off the dome-ness! check out his myspizzle to listen to his beats www.myspace.com/sighfur and also his other page www.myspace.com/purpleterrordactyle its hip hop in its most fun loving happy go lucky, meets off the rector scale subject matters with a whole bag of comedy and a dash of seriousness! I personally LOVE IT..but that's just me! go to his page already!







over and out!

Dora the Explorer....


So yesterday,I was chillin with my mini me's (my little sisters) & I noticed that they were playing some kinda game entertaining themselves... and then I saw it......................................DORA THE EXPLORER LAPTOP!







OK so you may think I'm a bit old for Dora the explorer but that shizzle was fun pressing "A "for Apple and stuff,it was fun,educational and taught you a little bit of Spanish! in my day we had Speak and Spell!!










no such thing as a Dora the explorer laptop! Back in the day we had normal teddies like Rupert the Bear or the ones you would bring to your teddy bear picnics at school(you know what I am talking about!) not Tickle Me Elmo!! how I wish I had one of those it was fun throwing Elmo in the air and have Elmo scream "higherrrr, higherrr!"
oh and in the middle of the laptop there's a mini Dora the explorer and when you get an answer right she moves her arms up and down!...so so cute!














So if you really love me....get me a Dora the Explorer laptop,or a Finding Nemo laptop or better yet how about a apple laptop











*drool*...I will love you for life! lol nah just playing ..I mean, its doesn't have to be a 24 karat gold cased mac book..just a good ole regular apple mac laptop/notebook will do:P



Since I'm on the topic of kids toys and stuff I found this on youtube the sesame street version of do the right thing! lol ENJOY!

Dumplin & Fitness First?


I was at work on my lunch, I brought some callaloo from home but didn't have nothing to eat with it. so I went to Take two for a dumplin(it is usually spelt dumpling but im typing it how it is said lol DUMPLIN!) now how ironic that the paper bag the dumplin was placed in was advertising fitness first membership for the "beach body" with a big greasy fried dumplin!



Callaloo & dumplin...YUMMY


Hmmmm Dumplin 60p..... to achieve a beach bum according to fitness first at the starting price of only £24.95 per month


Nahh im good thanks..i'll just walk it out, jog it out, climb the stairs for £FREE.99!

I found that quite amusing..lol , maybe all that water flour and oil may add extra fat to my long back!


















anyway that will be all for now...



Till next time,over and out!
