SOTD: Toronto Part 2

Every city deserves love from its own.

Here’s another one for us. Ron D decided to do a mix of Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” and put the fabulous Kim Davis as the songstress for the chorus. Came out pretty good, and my name made it sound even better. Yea, major boost there I know, especially when you hear my name lol.

 

Shoutouts to the beautiful city of TORONTO. There are so many places that I still need to explore in Toronto, but from what I know- I’m already in love with.

I swear to you, there ain’t nothing like partying with Torontofresh. Real talk. It’s never a dull moment.

This past Friday I attended the “Photogenic” party for a bit and then “Summerbody Fit” (granted). The rain was tsunami-ish, it was absoultely ri-damn-diculous. I was expecting so much more from the last Friday in August but I should’ve known better. Thank God, I brought my umbrella with me or else I would have been down and out. The music was good at Photogenic but Summerbody Fit the music was POPPIN! Oh man, the guy/girl battles were hilarious! I haven’t been in a club and heard “No Scrubs” playing and the women SCREAMING the words at the fellas, only for “No Pigeons” to come in lol. Then “Bills, Bills, Bills” followed by “Chickenhead”, clever stuff. The MJ Tribute (Happy Birthday MJ!) followed by the Aaliyah set at the end (R.I.P Babygirl) was live. Goodtimes as usual.

 

*To my ladies I was rolling with, you all looked hella fly*

At Last

Good morning folks,

 

I have to write this real quick. Anyway yesterday I completed my photoshoot and it was a success. I was incredibly nervous, mannnnn. As I started, I began to relax after awhile and got into my groove. Small shoutouts right now:

Charlene: Thanks for the oppurtunity fam. You did an amazing job with the makeup and styling. Under such short notice, we pulled it off. ♥

Anna: “Ohhhhh Anna” LOL. You are gorgeous and a complete natural, you helped ease my nerves.

Claire: Thank you for the assistant help, really appreciate it!

 

Going into this I felt kind of alone as I didn’t have some support from my peoples for different reason. That’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

Halfway through, my eyes kind of welled up it just felt kind of surreal. I love photography, I’m in love with it. It gives you the oppurtunity to see objects in a completely different light. You see the depth, the beauty, the scariness, the innocence in things you may have never noticed before. Pictures don’t lie, people do.

Trust me when I say this will be the first of many!

Kinda Like a Big Deal

Good afternoon folks,

 

I’m so sick right now, it’s ridiculous. I’m a pretty tough girl, I can handle pain for the most part but something about a sore throat turns me into a big baby. I have some sort of chest cold and I’m NOT happy about it. Last night the fever-ish symptoms I had really were not a good look, yuck!

Anyhow, on Friday night I went out to a party called “Kinda Like a Big Deal” at Vola Lounge. The party started off kind of slow but once it got nice, it got real nice. The thing about that club (it’s the former Blurr Nightclub) it gets SOOOO HOT. I swear there is no form of ventilation in that spot, yikes. It was a sweat bucket, and since DJ Spoonz and Dj Rych Kidd were killing it everybody was wylin out. One of my highlights of the night was hearing “Summerbody Fit” in the club, I felt like a proud mama or something lol. Here are some pics, despite what one person thought I was not drunk. The height of my heels would not permit me to get drunk (I don’t get drunk anyway). Ladies you know what I’m talking about, your heel is so high that if you were to play around and get drunk that’s risking your whole life and ankles at that.

 

It’s it’s it’s the GUMBY

… just in case you never know!

 

As I mentioned before on Thursday night I attended the Blake Carrington show at the Drake Hotel with the rest of Torontofresh. The show started late since people do not know how to show up on time *tsk tsk*.  The show started with KJ and again he did the damn thing. If you still haven’t seen KJ perform, he’s the artist that hits the stage and has a such a cool confidence. The music is already hot but when he performs it, you feel it that much more. KJ will be performing July 18th @ Rollys Garage located at 124 Ossington Ave. Check him out!

 

….” lights camera action welcome to my movie, Blake Carrington is a smooth oppurtunity”.

Oh Blake, what more can I say that I haven’t already said. If you didn’t know, Blake will be heading off to LA for a little bit to be on his grind. This show was a slap in your mouth telling everyone “Don’t Sleep on me”. Word.  Blake did his thing as usual but tonight was so different. At times I stood there just staring up at him with a smile on my face. I had a strong sense of pride and admiration for him. It’s a beautiful thing when you know that someone you care about is on the verge of achieving their hopes and dreams. The set was amazing, he brought out Shane Tone for another smash performance of “Summerbody Fit” and the crowd went nuts. There was alot of family values as well as he also brought out his brother Keegan Da’niro (hey baby lol) and his DAD (De Dot) to perform. The love between Blake and Keegan and Blake and his father was so apparent. Kodak moments indeed.

The final portion of the show was quite nostalgic as the former members of BFDM (Brothers from Different Mothers) as well as some fellow artists got up on stage to show Blake some love and give him kind words. This lead into an encore performance of “Summerbody Fit” and then Blake spit a ridiculous freestyle.  That concluded the whole show, because really how could you follow up anything after that?

 *I have about 200 pictures from this event so I may update some each day, we’ll see how I feel*

Change Clothes with the Fresh Family

Hola mi amigos/amigas,

 

How’s everybody doing? I’m doing oh so lovely, there is a “Sister, Sister” marathon on tv and it’s bringing back memories.  Do you all remember just how corny this show was? Woww.

Last night, myself and the Torontofresh family went out to the Fitting Room party at Dazzling Lounge.  Owwwweeeee it was a good party. The vibe was nice, DJ LRS & DJ Rych Kidd put it down. When I say put it down, I mean we were partying to Daft Punk, Modjo, Biggie, Destra, Machel, DJ Class, Serani and of course MJ. There was a little bit of everything for everybody. Definitely my kind of party.  Blake Carrington and Ron D held it down on the mic with minor distractions from groupie love. Good times for all!

I have to shoutout Miss Tameka Musiq(http://t-ismusiq.blogspot.com) that celebrated her birthday last night in the club. Hope you had fun mama.

The night was already live enough, then Shane Tone and Blake Carrington decided to perform their hit “Summerbody Fit“. Oh man, it was a wrap… except for one thing.

Soooo, Blake and Shane are from the Torontofresh camp so naturally we had to be at the front wildin out to the song right? If you see me vibing with my girls and we’re clearly doing our own thing do you think it’s appropriate to come and grab me up when I do not know you from Bob on the street? *Kiss teeth* So we’re dancing to the song, singing at the top of our lungs when some 5 foot nothing dude comes grabbing me up. He did it one time and I turned around and said “no thanks”  and I continued dancing. Instance number 2 he came a little more aggressive grabbing me and trying to wine up on me (by wine up I mean thrust like a dog humping a leg). Errrrrkssssssssss did I not just say “no thank you”, what are you slow?! At this point I am visibly annoyed because he’s throwing off my vibe with the song and downing my cheery mood. Don’t you think by the 2nd ‘no’ he would have realized I wasn’t having it? Apparently NOPE, because homeboy came back for a 3rd time grabbing me up. What did Neeks do you ask? The first thing that came to my mind, I pushed him against the Dj booth.  He looked at me as if I was on some kind of meth and his boy quickly came and said “Hey hey, no pushing” and I said “Tell your boy to stop grabbing me” as the little gremlin looked on as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. (Ron thank you for stepping in at this point♥). Seriously what comes over peoples minds? Do they temporarily lose it? Amnesia? What is it? I have no issues with people trying to dance with me, but there’s always a right way and a wrong way. Do not approach me and grab me up as if I’m property to you, it’s not a good look. Rant over.

 

Conclusion, if you weren’t there you missed out. I didn’t take many pics due to, I don’t know… the fun I was having I guess.

An Evening at the beach

Good morning folks,

 

Well a couple evenings ago, myself and some fresh females also known as The Discombobulated Tricks (Nicole, Char & Meg) Claire and Monique all decided to make a very impromptu visit to Woodbine Beach.  If you’re from the West Indies you’re probably thinking right now “Canada has no blasted beaches *kiss teeth*”. I’ve heard that many times before and even said it myself, yes it’s not the same as the beaches in other countries however Life gives you jeans that are too small, you make cut out shorts right? Exactly.  I for one will be trying to live down there this summer. The vibe is really chill, there are many things to do down there. For instance you can play beach volleyball, eat some streetmeat, get your tan on or walk/run/rollerblade or bike the boardwalk.  If all of that isn’t your thing, then maybe you can have a mini photoshoot as we did. The possibilities are ENDLESS.

 

While there I took pictures as always of things I thought were “Wowwwww” worthy.
