Do U Have PLuSH Pieces of Inspiration???

I've been in an intense creative mood lately; so much so, that I dove into some very interesting and important projects! I am so inspired I took pics to share with you, of the PLuSH and fashionable journey/projects/memorabilia I call my life, circa 2009 lol.

Every Lady that ever had a dream should pick this journal up!!! I've been working on it @ The Remix Project with Trexxx...PE goes hard!


Here is a peak inside my Tiffany Blue Scholar Agenda 2009:

(organization & inspiration are key)

Nextly PLuSH Empress' art section...

This is a piece of Art that I created the other day. Im very proud of my first painting (oil paint on canvas) who knows maybe one day it will be up for auction but for now it rests on my wall. PLuSH Embassy Baby ♥

This next painting on my wall is something I picked up at a Vintage sale. She's a PLuSH gypsy.

Next piece of Art on my wall is by my Dad artist Ras Stone...

Next piece of art was given to me by my mom. Can you believe she was going to throw this Egyptian piece out when my middle name is Makeda!!! I quickly adopted it.

Next print on my wall has a funny (inside joke) story behind it. I picked this piece up in Queens NY. Has anyone been to a gas station in flushing Queens that is lacking this character? LoLoLoL

Last painting is by a woman named Nicole. It hangs over my bed because I ♥ floral arrangements!



This section holds PLuSH Empress' trinkets...
Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers!

I ♥ angels!!!!!

Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now

This New York City, International Center of Photography, exhibition presents some of the most innovative fashion photography of the last few years. Perhaps one of the newest trends, weird fashion photography, or beauty shots that push limits, can now be seen more and more in advertisement and media. The exhibition showcases photographers collectives which include a wide range of influences such as art, sexuality, narrative, digital media and youth culture; furthermore, all are meant to encompass real beauty or the truth behind our influences...consequently bringing this to the forefront.

This exhibit is captivating as it also allows one to consider the impact of graphic design on the way that fashion photography is presented. Along with original photographic prints, the exhibition will feature hundreds of tear sheets and magazine covers, from both mainstream and independent publications, by a range of photographers including Steven Meisel, Cindy Sherman, Mario Sorrenti, Nick Knight, Steven Klein, Miles Aldridge, Marcus Gaab, Paolo Roversi, and Sølve Sundsbø.

These images are really meant to make you think and, for that reason, I have refrained from further commentary.
