Nail Art

I've been having lots of fun exploring, enjoying and following nail art.  When i was a kid, it seemed like only us sisters and other working-class girls were getting their nails did with all the bells and whistles.  Now, you see it on runways.  God bless fashion.   

So here, i've been playing with some ideas.  These are early attempts, but i'm getting better at every pass.  Holla!

Aguanile

Currently listening to:  "Aguanile", Marc Anthony.  Or rather, i'm listening to the whole El Cantante soundtrack.  Dope.

Kiss Me Again

One of Kanye's greatest moments was his Twitter lament, "Why won't they just let me be great?"  Sometimes when i'm feeling overwhelmed by the raw power of my naked genius, i find myself asking this same question.  Then i realize that the answer is usually something along the line of "Ain't nobody in your way, sugar, but yourself".

Family Photography

Like everyone with their own mini-captive, I've used my daughter as my first model for baby and family photography.  I don't have to pay her and it taught her how to sit still.  Sort of.
