OWN YOUR EGO.

I remember dancing a few weeks ago with a friend and he was like "you know what the problem is - you know you're sexy, you know it." And my only response (after saying thank you) was like "you've gotta own it." Friends and clients that come thru the studio on a regular know damn well I'm not walking around in metallic super woman pull-ups all day, even though I'm performing super woman duties, but when it's time to rep BUTCH DIVA and handle business, there is certainly a particular mind frame I have to step into to get the job done. It's a matter of confidence but still being approachable. I think ego's are fun actually, they allow you to step into a character and out of your natural element, and even better if for a purpose... these were a few shots I snapped while getting warmed up. My alter ego is called "BUTCH DIVA" by the way.

LET ME UPGRADE YOU.


UPGRADE YOU(Beyonce) - It all makes sense @ 1:34. I need that ponytail in my life.

She sayin tho'
"I hear you be the block, But I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Notice you the type that like to keep them on a leash though
I'm known to walk alone, But I'm alone for a reason
Sending me a drink ain't appeasing. Believe me!
Come harder - this wont be easy
Don't doubt yourself trust me you need me!
This ain't a shoulder with a chip or an ego
But what you think they all mad at me for
You need a real woman in your life- That's a good look.
Taking care, home is still fly- That's a good look.
I'm gonna help you build up your account -Thats a good look.
Better yet a hood look,
Ladies thats a good look
When you're in them big meetings for the mills
Thats a good look
It take me just to compliment the deal!
Thats a good look
Anything you cop I'll split the bill
That's a good look
Better yet a hood look
Believe me- Ladies that's a good look

Partner let me upgrade you
Audemars Piguet you
Switch your neck ties to purple labels
Upgrade you
I can - Lemme upgrade you. Partner let me upgrade you.
Flip a new page,
Introduce you to some new things & Upgrade you

I can do for you what Martin did for the people
Ran by the men but the women keep the tempo
It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal
Still play my part and let you take the lead role
Believe me
I'll follow this could be easy
I'll be the help whenever you need me
I see you hustle wit my hustle I Can keep you

FOCUSED ON YOUR FOCUS I CAN FEED YOU!" - Beyonce
