BUTCH DIVA'S BOSS LADY >>> 2009 AGENDA

It's no secret how freaked out everybody is over how a year managed to flash right before our eyes. Time flies whether you're having fun or not! It's safe to say that since extra time seemed non existent in 2008, 2009 is another opportunity to wrap it up! These are just some of the endeavors that went into development over the past 6 months that have to be executed to the end within this year:

> BUTCH DIVA Comic Book Series
> Portfolio Upgrades / Complete Collections
> Showroom Space / Lounge Boutique
> Establish Team
> Build on Blog Features
> Investor Relations
> Collaborations w/ Designer Peers
> Marketing & Promotional Events
> Launch Panties Optional

...Dam. Looks like I'm already booked till 2010! BUTCH DIVA wishes you a successful New Year!

I'MA BUTCH DIVA KINDA' DIVA.

Diva - Beyonce

Damn Beyonce. They don't got enough medicine to heal just how sick you is.

GOO GOO FOR GAGA...

...So I'm a lil bad, cuz for months now I've been walking pass billboards in Brooklyn promoting Lady Gaga, and I kept thinking to myself who is that? who is that?. 'She got a look and she bout' to pop', I thought to myself. I remember googling images of her and not coming up with too much that impressed me so hesitated to blog her come up, but was still feeling her mystique. Now sho' nuff, here she is- on top of the charts! Aiiight Lady Gaga, I saw you. BUTCH DIVA APPROVED!

I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKIN' FOR ME...

NO WORRIES > Here I am! The agenda has been hectic but you know I can't and WON'T leave YOU hangin'! I had a very successful holiday party at my diva upgraded new crib over the weekend {stay tuned for pics and the rave reviews!}, and planning for it was a doozie...ha! NOT!! I put the word out, did some food shopping, and just hoped for the best! :) And it was dope!...to say the least of course saving some for lata.

Besides that - work work work. It took a bit of a reality check from a dear friend to put things back in perspective...and now it's back to the drawing board - LITERALLY! Time to return to my roots - I'm a designer damnit! Ha. So gathering all the concepts and warming up to the sketch pad made its way back onto the agenda...

Seems as though this will be a light xmas for most of the economy... I managed to get in some shopping the other day, and with a lil bonus thrown my way today, I will pick up a few more goodies tomorrow! Lucky lil sisters I have!

Never a dull momemnt >>> phone starting to ring off the hook with everybody's custom orders for last minute new yr's dresses...the freakum ones. They come to me for that...and that too. :) Gotta make sure I keep my look exclusive tho - can't let that wild cat out the duffle bag just yet but watch out now!

All in all - just in busy bumble bee mode, constantly working towards a dream. Considering it is the holidays, allow me some time to collect my thoughts, catch up with fam, and attempt a day off...or two. Until I rotate back to my blog duties...enjoy some eye candy from my latest photoshoot set in Long Island City, Queens. Being BUTCH DIVA's Boss Lady ain't easy - but somebody gotta do it!














Happy Holidays!!!

I LIKE THIS.

I know the denim is Used Jeans. but the jacket is a mystery and I love it!

OUT OF FOCUS...

I found these images while browsing V mag online, and just when I thought I was about to be put on to some emerging design talent and art direction, I come to find out it's images from a new London hot spot called Double Club...guess I gotta schedule in some time now for London...


"A new London joint that attracts guests like Bryan Ferry, Alexander McQueen, Miuccia Prada, Stephen Jones, and the like for its opening night can't be ignored. Double Club is the new sensation of London cold nights, as announced by yours truly in the current issue of V. This ephemeral restaurant and club, lasting only 6 months, sponsored by Fondazione Prada and created by acclaimed Belgian artist Carsten Höller is one of a kind in night life history. Divided into two areas, one for the Western and the other for the Congolese part of the world, this club alternates constantly between warm and cold,spicy & mild, black and white, house music and Zouk. Cheri Samba paintings, futuristic tiled walls, plastic chairs and African wooden furniture, the design of this place is also a blast of contradictions." - Source

FACT > ART FEEDS THE CREATIVE SOUL.

"In just a few seasons, the Rodarte sisters have introduced a new opacity into fashion's weighted spectrum. Through intricate, web-like sweaters, see-through chiffon dresses, and barely-there nude looks, the design duo has suggested a silhouette that’s full of shadows, layers, and meaning, while simultaneously defining a new, dangerous femininity. In Rodarte’s world, latex, straps, raw hems, and chains are far from restrictive. Rather they appear as incidents, in the decisive unveiling of a cast of female archetypes moving in and out of definition.

...Similarly, transparency, or the impossibility of transparency, has become the defining aesthetic of the artist Marlene McCarty. In her colossal, billboard sized drawings (crafted with only a ballpoint pen and graphite pencil), the artist has often depicted women and young girls in spectacular states of transition. She is perhaps most known for her pantheon of characters based on real life teenage girls who have murdered their families. More recently McCarty produced a series of women simultaneously embracing and giving birth to primates. Whether they are shown multi-limbed in transparent dress, or in the embrace of beasts, McCarty's characters always share a certain supernatural grace..." - V Magazine
