CAKE MONSTER: BITE

CELEBRATED A GOOD FRIENDS BORNDAY: I GIFTED THE CAKE
AND THE BOOTH

CAKE BITES WERE SO DARN GOOD: ME MADRE AND I HAD TO MAKE A RUN

DON'T JUDGE ME!: I THINK THEY PUT CRACK IN THESE THINGS

So I am totally not a "club" or "bar" person... I go to happy hour for good food at 1/2 the price lol... I hate cigarette smoke... I hate my clothes smelling like cigarette smoke... I hate smelling like cigarette smoke... and I am just not that interested in being crowded up together with people I do or don't know... needless to say my friends request was for a vip booth at a very popular club("popular" I still don't quite know why) in the city... I made it happen... and the birthday girl had a wonderful time... that ish for the birds though... find me at the symphony or the theater... better yet my bed... I see why people be itching to get into vip... sheesh a chick want to sit down and not be bumped into...

I LIVE IN THE FUTURE: ART

I LIVE AND WORK AT "THE" FINE ARTS HIGH SCHOOL

IT MEANS A LOT TO MY LIFE TO BE SURROUNDED BY ART/ARTIST

I WATCH OVER 45 DORM STUDENTS: EACH EXTREMELY TALENTED AND PASSIONATE

SOME OF THE DORMIE DANCERS: THEY SUPPORT EACH OTHERS CRAFT

GOD gave me this job... I'm not kidding... I'm not being over dramatic either... I had finished college moved home... had no idea where I was going to go besides the fact I wanted to move to a big city... after about a month... my mother told me we couldn't both live under the same roof... that I was a woman... she moved me into some of the family property temporarily... I hated it... I was so far from what I knew... I had lost all of my independence ... I couldn't move around like I was use to ... I was in the suburbs... and I didn't know how to drive... I searched at the library constantly applying for jobs... and then one day... I came across this one... I had done it before for college students... adults... so this was different... children... but not just any children... THE FUTURE OF ART... I've been here four years... the cap on years is five... I can't wait to see what GOD had set up for me next... because again... I am clueless :)

LITTLE CITY: BIG EXPECTATIONS

Co-worker : Did you just take a cab to lunch?

Me: huh?

Co-worker: I just saw a cab out front... and I said surely she didn't take a cab across the street to lunch

Me: LOL... NO! I'M NOT THAT INSANE...

Me: (inside my head) NOT YET: CHAUFFEUR 2011

BASS LARSON WEEJUNS

I've been really attracted to oxfords and the such this past year... However, I am growing bored and I am excited to venture out into the world of BASS WEEJUNS. In college I saw them put to use as the traditional "stepping shoe" of a fraternity... I had a pair in middle school with shiny new pennies... It's throw back time!

#39 STAY ON THE GRIND

Driver: so you're going from job one to job two?

Me: Yep... from job one to job two...

Driver: I did that for 18 years ... then I woke up one day wrote my resignation letter and just handed it in...

Me: That takes a lot of courage... I wish I could wake up one day and hand in two...

SILENCE

Me: I'm going to try working for myself

Driver: That's the best thing to do ... it all depends on the pride you take in your work... and the way you treat people... the way you present yourself... that's the key to success...

LML: I got a hustle that I have to see through... turning something that I hated doing into something that I could love... I see my loft and my wagon... and that young business person under 30 article clear as day!

em.in.i: lessons

mY INSIDES: outSIDE

I wrote the post below this yesterday... and was waiting to attach the pics... it's amazing how fast life changes... now I'm writing this post... I made peace or so I thought with a situation... and those nearest to me they've shed new light... causing me to unmake the bed in which I folded the corners on... It's my level of uncertainty that makes this so harddddd... am I fighting my feelings... or am I on the brink of buying into some over dramatic destructiveness... the best advice I have gotten is that if it is meant for you it will come back... I have faith... but what if it doesn't... at the end of the day I don't want to be wrong... and I'm willing to risk being right and not finding out... if it will let others live a life of happiness... I got a feeling this is what got me in this situation... I don't want to be selfish ... I'm looking for the lessons I can learn from this... but it's so hard to concentrate when you can''t figure out why you are crying?

DESK LITTER: andY

I haven't done an emini post in forever.... but today I'm sharing... Everybody says that they are their toughest critic... ditto... but It's funny because I know when I am not grinding hard enough... and that's never... lol... and not in the super mogul workaholic type way... more so in the realistic I'm lazy type way... I could have made it ten times over.. reached my goals and then some... but I just actually got some goals maybe a year ago... and I'm not really sure I have any now just projects and things that make me happy that I am pursuing...

If your reading and you know me... you know I am a freelance event designer... actually I am a designer of all things ... if I am interested in it ... I can create it... and even though I may only be able to do it once... it will be spectacular... and you will love it...

Okay on to tooting more of my own horn... the more my actual business develops I find myself saying over and over again... "Hi my name is LaQuin T. I'm 27 and I'm a business owner..." it just sounds so good... even though I have probably lost more money than I have made... it still makes me happier than the two jobs I work that actually pay and shelter me lol...

My creations are out there in the world and that's honestly worth more than money... but don't get me wrong I ain't all free spirited and crazy I have a list of material needs as well lol! ....I'm going to share more about the road I own as "LaQuin the business owner" y'all will prob laugh a lot... I know I do... I am working on my business blog revamp here's a sneak peek www.canuemagine.com !

I TEETER

Christian Louboutin - Madame Tall Boots

I can be honest... I would walk like I had to pee if I wore these shoes... but they are so amazing that I had to talk my mother thru how to use her macbook just so she could see them lol... one day I will learn to tip... one day!
