Looking over the Port-au-Prince Bay, hillsides of once humble homes now lay as ruins of concrete. An earthquake with a magnitude of no mercy has buried everyone - from UN workers  and the Parliament to the most impoverished communities of the world. An estimated ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND HUMANS have lost their lives.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, by a severe margin. Four out of five people live in poverty and more than half in abject poverty. Prior to Tuesday's earthquake, aid was greatly needed. Now, even more so.

If you have some bucks to spare, be it by cooking at home for the eve or resisting tempting purchases, Haiti can use it. 

Technology has simplified donations. You can text "Yele" to 501501, which will donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund donations will be charged to your cell phone bill, or you can click here.

Anything helps. Do it for Teddy.

RIP Teddy P


Sorry for the sad post but we need to reflect on what's wrong in order to celebrate what's right.

I'm sure many of you have seen pictures from the upcoming V magazine's size issue due to hit stands Jan 14th. It is groundbreakingly marvelous and about time ladies that aren't scared to occasionally indulge in one of life's greatest pleasures, not to mention necessity of life, FOOD. 

Myself being on the opposite spectrum, standing just below the 5' but above 4' 11" and having played soccer all my life sculpting thick thighs and a round derrière, I longed for a "model" figure. Their clothes always drape well no worries on tummy or thigh cling-ege or stubby leg syndrome. I'm sure they've never had hem a pair of pants or duct tape their pants under until they bring 'em to a tailor, but that's always procrastinated until pants are essentially ruined. And when they want to check out their favorite artist perform live, they can see no getting stuck behind that stubborn sweaty man that towers - by a foot - and refuses to let you in front of him even though there is NO WAY you could ever block his lanky ass even with your 5" Platforms. ugh.

Ultimate envy. 

That is until J-Lo hit the scene as a Fly Girl and 'Shorty' became the subject of every top 40, club banger not that I actual listen to that ish on my own...only in the club and on the radio ;)  

Since then, I've learned about proportions when dressing, taught myself how to sew, and rush to the front if I can't get backstage.

Long story short, I LOVE what I've seen so far of V mag's size issue. 

Girls, embrace those curves, there's is nothing more feminine! And Shorties, just remember, we got more to choose from ;)

It starts in 3 hours, so it's a little tardy for this one, but if you're in the Seattle area head over to Georgetown and say what's up to Jesse for me. He's a dear friend of my sis's and an inspiring and humble self-taught artist.

Also hailing from the 206 but showing in the 415, a dear and old friend Miles Stemper, has an art opening this Saturday at the Gray Area Foundation For The Arts (GAFFTA) in the TL.
