I love this photo essay by Time Magazine. It’s more than just photos of families with their food. Think about it.

The book: Hungry Planet

Did a photoshoot with Mixtbaby and photographer Michel W. These are the pics, the end result comes with illustration by Koen Mok. Will be published in Vice mag in February and March.

There was this cool Zwart Licht album releaseparty party going on Saturday at Bitterzoet (Amsterdam). Hosted by Dutch Labels Appletree Records and TopNotch . Ofcourse my granny ass turned down the invite, stayed home and went to bed at 8pm. Deluge bumped into Jennifer and they took this pic for me. Holla!!

Gracias matties!

Love & Basketball, classic. Song: Fool of Me by Meshell Ndegeocello

The song and the scene are perfect. One of my fav moviescenes too.

Obama waits backstage before stepping out onto the inauguration stand.

Just a tiny bit jealous of photographer Callie Shell. She also took these.

Having fun on the set with model Ovo. Bless my macbook.

Don’t mind the abrupt ending lol.

Obama is president!

I’m in Amsterdam right now for our second day of shooting. Josie Sykes is the photographer. Clyde Semmoh the stylist, Frank Visser the interior stylist and I’m the make-up artist. The model in the video is the fantastic Ovo of Max Models. I’m still at the shoot, we’re almost done.

My President is black
My Maybach too
And I’ll be goddamn if my diamonds ain’t blue
My money’s dark green and my Porsche’s light grey
And I’m headed for D.C., anybody feel me?

My President is Black, in fact he’s half White
So even in a racist’s mind he’s half right
So if you got a racist mind, it’s alright
My President is Black but his house is all white
Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk
Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run
Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly
So I’m gonna spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
I already got my own clothes, I already got my own shoes
I was hot before Barack, imagine what I’m gonna do
Hello Miss America, hey pretty lady
Red, white, and blue flag, wave for me baby
Never thought I’d say this shit, baby I’m good
You can keep your puss, I don’t want no more Bush
No more war, no more Iraq
No more white lies, my President is Black

What an anthem…

“He was bored at home. . .made a song. . .shot a video, him and a tripod.”

That easy, huh? Great song!

Happy MLK Day!

When I was around 17/18 yrs old, I was in my history class doing nothing as usual. Monday. I said to a classmate of mine: “I think I’m having too much fun. My days are always filled with fun stuff, like concerts, parties, theater shows, festivals and other events. That’s not good.”
He said: “I think there’s no such thing as having too much fun.”

Some words just stick with me for the rest of my life.

I need to be reminded again. I’m getting old.
