Sonya's Euro-Gypsy-Hippie-Boho Bday Photoshoot.

CAN'T WAIT!!!

J-Lo, Gucci, and Babies

Ok, so I've obviously been MIA for quite awhile due to the preparation and arrival of my new BFF Raider Alexander Rivera (pics, etc. coming soon).But I promise I've got some exciting nails, modeling, Ladies Lotto and mommahood stuff to share soon.

In the meantime, I've been in the company of some real fly mamas this weekend, and it made me think of some of the flyest that have done it. Look at these pics of Miss Lopez and her bambinos from the new Gucci Campaign. LOVE.

More blogging, news, events soon.

For the kids

My boo Kelly from Princess of the Posse who just had a new baby girl, sent me these pics of her older daughter Kimani Dior rocking HER Nails. LOVE.Princess of hte Posse

Playtime

My husband is cheating with Ellen

My husband has a thing for Ellen (and Sarah Silverman, Charli Baltimore, Pam Grier, and Jamie Presley). He affectionately shared that I kind of remind him of all of them put together. I take that as a compliment (after all those aren't the worst group of women to be bunched with). So I guess it's okay that they all slept with him in my bed--especially if it's for arts sake.

Denise and Her Hair

So it's the beginning of the month which means a new issue of Plus Model Magazine is out and fellow SWAK-er Denise Bidot is on the cover looking amazing. She made me miss my hair (and my pre-preggo shape and modeling and and and).

I'm feeling the styling--and it seems like Kris Turner is new to the PM team. Check out her blog too--lots of DIY stuff.

Lladies Love Yourself

So I'm a terrible blogger but I still gotta tell you when there's something important you'll miss out on. We care so much about how we look but not enough about our bodies--and that's not okay. Women's health should be a priority for all of us.

 If I wasn't on bed rest I'd be there! Go for me:)

Nothing like red

World Cup

So my son went from hardly moving to kicking like crazy. I'm thinking he's going to be the next big soccer star and that the World Cup has him really excited. I can't even blog or do nails cuz he's running things these days.

Married to the King

So part of the reason you haven't seen a blog update in a month is that I'm lucky enough to be having a baby:)--by one of the the most original music makers out there (I dare you to say his music sounds like _________).

To be totally honest with you, I don't even like rap music anymore--haven't since the turn of the century (sorry but how often do we get to refer to anything as turn of the century?). Because of him I know about Devin the Dude and Grouch from Living Legends--but really other than that there's not much I can bear to listen to.

Except him. When we met he was at height of his West Coast underground shit with Bleu Collar--but his new project with DJ Troublemaker.... KING FANTASTIC.... is some other world shit (Westcoastsynthesizerbeachbumgangstermusic to be exact). For me, a feminist who makes her bread and butter working with and supporting women that hasn't listening to rap in 10 years --to bump his shit and promote it to my friends and fans--means I can see past all the "bitches" and recognize what this project means for rap music and music in general.

The full album is available for download now at http://www.thekingfantastic.com/

Too Much Too Young

I hate to say it, but I was defnitely "too much too young"--hence the long acrylic hot pink nails at 13. But I was a tame one compared to the girls in the new Dimepiece Lookbook and Viral Video.

Check out HER Nails all through it.
