Favorite YouTube Video;

This girl cracks me up all the time. Her humor is simple, blunt and hilarious.

This is someone I found on YouTube, that I BELIEVE, was signed with Mos Def. Amazing voice right?




This is actually someone I went to school with..amazing voice. Visit www.youtube.com/chrisramoswong or www.youtube.com/sonnyburns2332




She is absolutely hilarious and this particular skit she did had me dying because I SOOO do this.




First off, totally obsessed with this song..but seeing the emotion from this dance is so touching and I had to put this in my top for 2008. They performed this dance at their graduation because their friend passed away.




SOO inspired by young dancers.


Obsessions in fashion;

Colored tights.

Oversized Sweaters.

Sequin tops. But for me, I am obsessed with VINTAGE sequin tops; something about them just tell a story to me, something from the 1920's..brought into the 80's for their vintage, making my own 21st century vintage.
