Let me first say I have always been in some type of fashion. I started modeling in Savannah, Georgia while I was attending Savannah State College (University now). It came so natural to me, I knew I had found a new career! Or so I thought. Anyway, many of the fashions that I am wearing below are coming back or never went out of fashion! For example, the Kangol hat took off in sales when LL Cool Jay started wearing them. As you can see, I wore them long before LL. The black jumpsuit is very fashionable and popular today. With all the thrifting going on, I am pretty sure you can find one some where. Now how about those peg leg jeans. You know what they are called today? That's right, skinny jeans. They are a lot tighter than back in the day. And, last but no least, the ear cuff is back in fashion. I saw some of my middle school female students wearing them. So how about that. Enjoy!

I modeled in Savannah for 7 years, and finally moved to New York with my new boyfriend. I
have many cousins in New York, so I said "why not". The photos below are two of my favorite early pictures. They were shot for a car calendar that I never got to see.

The photo shoot above was a blast! I got to let the vixen in me come out! I guess it was already in their, but being in front of the camera does that. I hope you enjoy the pics.
