Naturalista ShoutOUT: Solange Knowles Gets CRUNK!
I know you heard!
Solange went all gansta on Jay-Z last week at the Met Gala after-party. TMZ posted the video a few hours ago and already people are posting IG photos with Jay-Z and little Blue and Beyonce looking disturbed and the list goes on. Its crazy! Lord only knows what made Solange, a tiny little string bean, attack her mogul brother-in-law. Beyonce seemed to want no parts of the scrap! She stood idly by as her little sister tried to attack her husband. First by getting up in his face and pointing, then by jumping on him and later kicking him.
The bodyguard even pressed the emergency stop button in the elevator. I am not sure why, but I think it was to keep the fight private or to make sure Solange was calm before facing the paparazzi.

Posing for Art!
SOOOO.....
Last week end I walk into the Gallery Opening for Larry "Poncho" Brown and this fabulous woman demanded that I come toward her and model one of Larry's printed shawls! I was taken by surprise bc I was had literally just stepped foot into the space. She spotted me instantly and said "You, yes honey!" and the she motioned toward my hair and said "I love this, come...now."
She had an aura about her and I couldn't refuse. This is the product of that interaction! and I ♥ it :) I look a little weird bc I was squinting but YEAH, AWESOMENESS!
SIDENOTE: Look at how awesome my 'fro looks! No stretching and almost no prepping before the event! Not bad for a 1 week old twist-out.

Larry "Poncho" Brown: National Artist and Family Friend
'Sup Artsy People!
I am so excited to come to you today after having been to a gallery open house for my artistic mentor Larry "Poncho" Brown. If you don't know about him, Google him honey! He is a big deal. A big deal indeed and it is an honor and pleasure to know him and he's really and truly an inspiration!
Just a little more about him:
Larry "Poncho" Brown, is a native of Baltimore, MD. He started his first business at the age of 17 as a sign-writer and he has been a full time artist ever since. Poncho received his Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD. His art, both fine and commercial, has been published nationally in Upscale, Ebony, Ebony Man, Essence, and Jet magazines. In February '99 his art was featured in the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History Textile Series No. 2 book entitled "Wrapped In Pride". His popular works have been prominently featured on several TV shows and movies including "Soulfood", "The Wire", "A Different World", "In The House" and "Avalon". His work adorns the walls of the likes of Bill Cosby, Dick Gregory, Anita Baker, Susan Taylor, Ed Gordon and Bernard Bronner just to name a few.
His work is the epitome of "abstract meets black power meets color and purpose"! LOL I always comment on how profound his message is. And his work varies from portraits to completely abstract pieces left to be deciphered by its viewer. UGH! It kills me how inspired I became just visiting his work space! Fabulous and more fab on top of that! I wish I could take every aspiring artist to a Poncho open house and let them drink in all the color and talent. Truly and experience in itself! But dont take my word for it, visit his website and view his pieces for yourself!
