FRANCE! A preview of my adventures

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur


I went to the South of France last week and this is my favorite photograph from my adventure. I did not go a day without my signature Summer look: Vivid Red Lips.
I don't have time for a full summary of what happened in France, but let's just say it was pure magic. Europe is always good to me.

Something about a girl in RED

American Apparel  






The color red is so sexy, I never realized it. I remember in AP literature, we learned that red often represent fertilization, passion, sexuality or even danger. I guess that's why the boys wouldn't stop eyeballing homegirl.  It is such a color of intense emotion. Paired with a something white makes it pop even more! And then the white's contrast with my cocoa brown skin, HOT DAMN, things are so freaking aesthetic.

Foot Massage Please!

Resting my feet on Fulton Street


I mean, I'm totally not Gothic, or worship Satan; none of that craziness, but I just loved this outfit!
I bought these Creeper months ago from Urban online, and they were too bloody small! My feet fit into them, but my little baby toes were scrunched up, crying for freedom! But I am tenacious little sucker, so I actually went to my classes in them.
Let's just say, I didn't come back from my classes.
Goodness, I  had to make a pit stop at the library because the shoes were causing fiery havoc in my Achilles tendons and  big toe! I remained at the library for 4 hours. Then I crawled back to my dormitory. After clawing them off, I found terrible blisters on the backs of my ankles. Then I chucked them to the back of my closet where they gathered dust.
Until I took them to a shoe repair man in Williamsburg where he stretched them bad boys out! BOO YAH! I can kind of wear them! I mean, they aren't walking the length of Manhattan shoes, but I can rock them decently. Mama always said to me as she raked through my afro puffs as a child: Pain is Beauty.... and ain't that the truth!

Know Yourself

Well, Freshman year of college is over, thank the lord. Being away from NYC wasn't necessarily my cup of tea, but I endured nevertheless, The time away had it's highs and Lows.
Highs 
Freedom: I've been immersed in the complete feeling of freedom, independence and personal discretion. I've always been a free little birdie, so the feeling wasn't so foreign... yet this was practically full independence, and in that I learned what I really wanted. When you are dictated, not only do you give up your freedom, but you mind's ability to expand on what you want. I essentially learned who I was in a way I've never known. I got to know Jade on a  new spectrum and that was just fabulous. 

Love: Yes, I ended my year and five month relationship with my boyfriend, but when god closes one door, somewhere, another window opens, and goodness gracious, the sun shined through that window like I've never seen! 
We met by chance, and it was like ZAP! My world is topsy turvy! But that's another story in itself. But if there's one thing one should know is I've never felt anything like this. This man is something else. He is the childhood best friend I've never had and always desired. I finally have someone to play with and there's nothing like the feeling of love, happiness and nostalgia all wrapped together.  

Lows

Grief: My mother passed away January 9th 2010, only two years ago. After she died, my life was bananas!
 I had to move back to Brooklyn from my simple suburban Long Island life, changing my life completely and for senior year of High School. Then I had to prepare for college which was stress city! Goodnes gracious, I couldn't even sit down for tea with myself! So when 1st semester began away, and I sat alone in my dormitory with my thoughts finally, it all got to me, like Mother's death was at new thing for me! I didn't know what was wrong with me, but it was terrible. I never knew what an emotion head case I could be when I have the time to be!

Whatever went down my freshman year of college, good or bad, I'm happy it happened. Everything is a new test, a challenge for me to endure, a new lesson to learn. I won't be returning to University of Hartford, which is fine, except that takes me away from him, another bloody obstacle. Fuck.
But regardless, I just think it's grand to be alive, healthy, and possibly... in love.

Wax Paper

It's been a while, approximately 2 months since I've blogged. My life has been changing so rapidly, right now, I have no clue as to what He has in store for me, not that I knew before. But it feels like wax paper has been placed on my life's viewfinder;  a frustrating translucent vision of my world.
I always thought of myself the clairvoyant one, but jeez, He sure has a way of knocking you off of your pedestal, feeling the eternal brand of mortality. A reality check I suppose. Haha, I thought I was special for a second there, but now, I've never felt so humble in my life. Even I get rejected, heartbroken, and teased with trustworthy promises.  Even I cry. I used to boast about my inability to cry, never invested in any waterproof makeup. Now my face looks disgusting and I buy my makeup in waterproof just in case I feel the rise in tides. Nevertheless, the makeup still smears on his collar; it still shows. 

My love life is in utter disarray. I've broken up with my boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months. I won't go into the specifics, but I'll say one word of advice: Find someone like yourself and relish in a peaceful harmonious relationship. They say opposites attract, and they do, but they'll never understand you the way you do, and if you find someone like yourself, you'll see the magic in effortless understanding.

My Field Trip to the Strip Club

I went to The Strip Club this past weekend with some fellow classmates just to say we did it. Here's what happened :

Admission was $10 for women, $15 for men. mandatory 2 drink minimum, 5 dollars for a bottle of water or watered down juices and sodas. They should have said admission 20 dollars.... That's how the mother cluckers swindle you.

The stage itself jutted outward like an erect johnson: a long runway for the women, a single pole at the end. We all sat around the stage in comfortable cushioned red velvet chairs. We were to be the walls of a vagina, at least that's how I saw it in my perverted head. There was impeccable lavender light work cast upon the stage that would make the most jagged of the dancing creatures dull and soften on the stage.
There was a topless woman on the stage. She could have easily been between the ages of 17- 24, but there was really no way of telling. Pseudonym: Ruby.  I don't know who lied and said strippers possessed gargantuan racks, but she was between an A and B cup, petite physic, still an attractive body. She was on the edge of the stage with her thighs split apart like an ocean trench, back arched, a sweet smile on her face,  the stereotypical clear 50 inch platform heels on her feet. She crawled over to a middle aged man. He wore his prescription glasses, suit, tie and a smirk. She rolled on her side with her back side facing him and slapped her derriere. He ejaculated a bunch of 1 dollar bills.

Ruby swept it up and did a slow seductive crawl to my company and I.  Smiling, she asked  how my night was going. I responded it was just getting started. She chuckled and danced offbeat to Drake's Practice. I started to scrutinize her dance skill, but stopped because it was the typical female thing to do. I wasn't enjoying this like the men were. I was enjoying the show like an episode of American Idol. She finished her dance, collected her cash and disappeared. She reappeared, asking my friend for a light and pulling up a chair to the group. She had a bra on now. Ruby was cute, cake faced and smiley; obviously stoned. She looked white, but hispanic.  I couldn't tell. The lighting mixed with the intense aroma of cheap perfume begins to mess with your head after a while
" How much do you make?" I asked Ruby
" The least I made a night was $150. The most a night I made was $1800." Ruby responded.
" So, ahem,  are you saying I can pay my college tuition in a couple weeks?"
" Yes. Do you see that stripper?" Ruby asked, nodding to the stage. The announcer who sounded like the host of a circus show, introduced her as Mya. Mya was stunning, a dime some might say. Tight small waist, breast like healthy cantaloupes and an apple booty. I don't know why I compare human body parts to food. She bounced each individual cheek. As far as I'm concerned, that was as rare as finding a person who can wiggle each individual ear,  or making a tongue into a four leaf clover. And the men went wild. She went to the pole ( which began to spin) and did some impressive moves.
A pole. When did it become such a sexual device? What's in a pole? Me sliding down the pole in the jungle gym, running away from who was "It" in a game of Tag. Me holding on a pole in the Subway. A fireman sliding down a pole. And then a woman swinging on a pole like Tarzan. I think a pole has great variety of usage.

" Mya paid for Med School stripping, and made so much money, she just kept right on stripping. When you're bringing in thousands weekly. It's not a bad job at all."
 .
In retrospect, the pole must be DUTTY.  We all didn't really know how filthy the strip club was, and fuck it, we didn't really want to know. We all didn't know how dirty the strippers were, but at that time we weren't even contemplating that. At that moment, they were the most clean, beautiful women in the world, the most powerful in the room. In a strip club, nothing is as it seems. That's why I kept my hands on my lap.

" These girls work hard, so you can stay hard!" The voice jockey boomed, sounding like  Bozo The Clown.
My friend started to tap my shoulder and pointed out a group of men that were starting at me rather than Mya. who was spread eagle and thong-less with a face screwed in pure, unadulterated ecstasy. I had my coat on.

" My real name is Vicky by the way, not Ruby hunnie." Vicky/ Ruby said
" Oh! My name is Michelle." I responded, lying of course.

" So, are you thinking about working here?"

I looked on the stage and a stripper named Jenny had her legs wide open, with 5 piercings on her vagina. Her clitoris was the size of a marble. I shivered in shock.



This is all 100% True
