Inside the Novel based on some true events, "Escapades of a Woman"

Some are wondering "why" this novel? The truth is its always been in my DNA which I tried to deny by going off doing other things. Even though God always has a time for his children, I wished I had completed this first novel a long time ago. While it took 7yrs to complete this time period was not wasted because I read book s and read a very awesome self help book entitled,"The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing." I prayed a lot asking God to give me the mindset to create characters; their personalities, their voices, the wittyness, the drama, the comedy, etc., as they needed to be told based upon real life.

Women have sooooo many stories to tell that can reach, teach, and inspire other men/women. In this book you will meet Kyra, a women who has carried soooo much on her chest  for years until she has the opportunity to finally discover what being a woman is about. She tells the story from the beginning to her shrink, Melody. Intoxicating, unbelievable, daring to be different are not enough to describe this novel.  Kyra finds herself discovering not only a voice, feminity, but she finds what makes her tick; what man can make her tick. Will she find a husband... From a near rape experience, to a witty roommate, to a romantic evening turned to a hiatus, to the house of anatomy heightening the intimate soul of Kyra's, to a different flavor if a man. A millionaire that shows Kyra an interesting world filled with luxury, leading to the devil himself...Trane. This... Man.... Is brilliant..book smart, street smart, everybody wanted him... And Kyra got him; except he was not who she thought. Kyra becomes different, scary, and crazy..a life that only a lost souls would live. But Kyra got what she wanted but not how she wanted it. This ride of "Escapades" is unbelievable. It is sure to touch your heart! Just read America...Just read everyone of every nationality!

Keep in mind that this shrink, oh she is a trip not only does she become so fixated on the life of her friend Kyra but she becomes a different psychologist needing a shrink herself.

The Beggared Fashion Woman-Based upon True Events

There's something about this life that takes me on an adventure. It makes me want to sin again with that tall, dark, bald headed man who used to do anything I wanted. Anything. I would dress in my red heels and wear my black lace lingerie while I would watch him bite that bottom lip of his crooked little mouth. Back then I frowned upon women who didnt embrace their sexy side. We all have the same thing: bosoms that remind men of melons, butts that poke out far enough to sit a cup on top, skin that feels so soft, and lips so plumb that he is mesmerized. Well, some of us have some and not all of those characteristics but we have to embrace what assets we do have.

I worked with this woman of 40's who was intrigued by my confidence, who wanted to make her mature body sexy again. Her, husband left her for another woman which caused my co-worker to grey instantly. For now, I call her Red, for the love that she sought. Red assumed that all of her fashion sense had dwindled away. Her reasoning? The same reason so many of us have: kids. The challenge that I gave Red is even the poorest person can still look decent and find their own fashionista. 

Then Red met this guy. I never met him. I am glad that Red opened her eyes to other nationalities because you never know who may be for you. I watched her. Red was all of 5'2 with glasses, blonde hair, green eyes, and her body started changing. I had already known that she could barely eat or keep up with bills. I understood that because she was making 10% above minimum with 15hrs a week, two  kids, an a massive mortgage. Her soon divorced husband is a dick and would rather send her and the kids into poverty than putting his big boy britches on to dish out the money they deserved. All in all Red was a disaster and I just couldn't let that now pale faced gray haired woman miss out on a great  time. Besides, I hoped that she would get herself a piece of lovin' so the color would come back to her cheeks.

There was so much that I wanted to do for her but I knew what gift I had to give her. I had to give her me. I had to give her Fashion. I knew that my hips had spread from having two kids back to back and I am a thicker woman; now don't get it twisted, I'm still fabulous. But I had so many fabulous clothes that I couldn't wear that I hoarded them until I found the right person to wear them. Who better than a damsel in distress. The clothes still looked brand new and a lot of them were new with tags and all. So, I invited Red to my place. It was a cute two bed room apartment with spacious closets in every room to hold all of my little trinkets. 

We drank wine, almost to much and I dressed Red up. She had a practically new wardrobe with above the knee skirts, dresses, low cut shirts, shirts with more modesty but fitted around  the bust, she  now had sexy jeans, stiletto shoes, and a new confidence. "Gosh my dry spell is about to be over," Red says to ma-yah.

The more I saw how refreshed Red seemed, the blood rushed through me as if i was about to get laid. Red even a little tint in her cheek probably because she knew that her clothes and new confidence were about to take her to a place of satisfaction guaranteed. Now, all I had to do was wait to see how my once poor, sad, hurt, an humiliated co-worker transformed.

Two weeks later Red beams into the office. I hadn't seen her since our extravaganza but I know that pep in a woman's step anywhere. I almost fell out of my chair staring at Red, this once so desperate woman who had on a leopard print silk top with skinny black pants and new high patent leather black boots. She looked astounding. Red's hair was in a top knot her lips were the color of a tomato, her eyes were no longer green they were the color of the sea, I for once was hush mouthed. Red plopped into her chair adjacent to me and spun around. 

  "How grateful I am to you! I threw away my bedroom toy because I love his better!"

My eyes stared at her and something on the inside burned. "I'm so happy!" You don't have to tell me the details but all I can say is I told you so."

   "40 never felt so good but what do you know you are still a little young buck." 

"I'm grown enough and we both know that sometimes it takes a young buck to get you back to your sexiness. Look at you. Your thighs look like you have been eating burgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner--but your waist still looks tiny!" I gave Red a squint 

Fall Fashion Looks For 2013! Enjoy!

FALL 2013 is here! Whether you like it or love it; whether you are ready or not...HERE it comes!
I've heard a lot of times at work that its still too HOT to think about the upcoming season but you gotta think about it! The beauty of shopping for Fall Fashions now is you will be a step ahead of those late bloomers! Retailers are not producing as much as they used too. Many customers try to wait for a SALE or a PROMOTION. This can be a double edge sword. While you can get a discount you may not get the size. Supply and demand do not always meet nowadays. Now the demand is so much higher than the supply causing a shortage of fashion forward items or even basic items. Yes, yes you can possibly order items but remember there are chains of retailers with customer alike who want the same thing! First come first gets it!

I agree with creating a sense of urgency for consumers. A lot of merchandise does not need to be manufactured if its going to sit in the store. So, shoppers listen up! As I've said in earlier blog posts, the retailer has to make money too! If you cannot afford an item please do not buy it then return it hoping to get a cheaper price because retailers do have policies regarding price adjustments. Save your money for that ONE special store that you like to shop with or you want to shop with. Go scope out price points so you know what you are dealing with. Retailer prices fluctuate all of the time. Even if you make friends with the employees of a particular store, ask them if they have a book that shows what's coming our for the next month. This can allow you to see the trends, colors, and silhouettes. Many books will even list the prices so at that time you can see if it will work into your monthly budget.

I have included some fabulous pics of 2013 Fall colors and trends! Enjoy!

10 Rules to Fashion in the Workplace

If you have been reading my posts you can tell by now I absolutely LOVE fashion and styling those who have no fashion sense. So many of us are confined to a particular wardrobe because of our working environment. I have come across many women who don't have any FUN clothes because we are forced to wear clothes within a particular guideline. What I would like to share with you is that there are ways to be within a dress code and still feel pretty, handsome, and sexy. Depending on what profession you are in these rules will vary.

1.   Analyze the dress code thoroughly. A lot of basic dress codes state specifics on what to wear such as crops, pants, or sleeve length. You will also find direction on colors, hair or nail care. Amongst these, look at the basics in your wardrobe. A professional should always have black, navy, white, brown, khaki, and olive green. With these basic ground neutrals, you can go forward with your business attire but add some creative personality to your day. 

2. Look at color. How can you brighten up your wardrobe with color?! Yes, we all want the seasons most fashionable colors but also take some risks. Try mustard yellow with orange and brown. Red and green with navy. Pinks, sky blue, and yellow with all neutrals. Try black and brown.  

3. Stay fitted! What this means is buy clothes that fit! So many people are so afraid to go up a size to get what fits. To me that is ridiculous. I have seen women go down a size and then they buy it with no hesitation. Its a mind game. Each retailer makes their clothing different. So in one store you may be a smaller size and then in the next store you may go up a size. Whatever size you are keep yourself positive by wearing what makes you happy and that fits!

4. Tailored vs. Relaxed Fitting-it's a big difference between the two. Tailored clothes show your curves, legs, and hips. While these assets aren't needed in your profession however it makes your womanhood or manhood come  to life!  The way you dress can be inspiring to others. Some may ask you for your opinion about their look or maybe they want you to dress them for future occasions. 

A relaxed fit allows for more movement. There are a lot of women who can pull this look off with slim bottoms and fun artistic shoes. Some who opt to wear flowey tops are those who are trying to hide something. This concept can work against you so you really have to be careful. If you opt for a flowey top be sure that the top has some structure elsewhere being that its fitted at the bust line but flows outward. Maybe the neck line is beautiful. The garment could be flowey over the tummy area but very straight elsewhere. As a women who just want to be sure you look appealing and as a man you want to be sure your look is sharp!
5. Crisp white shirt. It's essential more than you know. A crisp white shirt can be put together with any pant or skirt. It's a serious look without wearing so much  black and navy. When you find this crisp white shirt be sure to buy at least 3. If you do not care for them properly the material can become too soft and will lose its substance/stiffness.
6. Utilize your hair stylist to create a fashion forward look for your profession. Plan to change this style once a quarter to keep some interest in peers as well as yourself.
7. Go to a beauty class. Ladies! This will amaze you! You will  be amazed at what you learn about your coloration, techniques on makeup application, and much more! How fun will this be in order to add some creativity to your makeup !
 8. Accessorize to your fullest potential! Okay, so every gal wants diamond earrings, they are so classic! If you like a classic look but need to stay within a particular price range then purchase some good ole Cubic Zirconia's! They are just as good! But who says you have to stop there!  Some of us like wild and fun jewelry ! Find a few accessory stores such as Francesca's where you can get an array of funky jewelry. You will always find great pieces you love but there is nothing like shopping in a boutique setting.
9. Be inventive! It's not hard to come up with ways to wear particular items. Just practice! Have a few cocktails with your ladies and go shopping. Try on clothes and your friends wardrobe you! Find ways to be fun and flirty! Maybe you buy nice underwear that makes you feel great! It's important for the undergarments to be sexy and fun too!
10. Nails. Nowadays it's the coolest thing to wear green nail polish! Hey, I never had that problem, but so many of you did. Don't get so stuck on yourself to the point you don't enjoy or express your creative side! Pamper yourself with a mani and pedi then get your technician to put designs on your nails. Remember it used to not be okay with your natural nails but its he healthiest choice!
Try colors that you would not normally get!

Are you scared to take a risk? Fashion expressions!

I've lost myself in a world of nay-Sayers who look frumpy everyday. These are the people who have everything to say about how you dress, look, and your fashion sense. Sometimes we let ourselves adhere to what others think about us and others tell them where to shove it! For me, I've worked in various places that have its own unique fashion. What you have to realize its how you pair pieces of clothes together in order to create a dynamic look. Fashion should not be stressful it should be fun, unique, and desireable. Look at who you are listening to. Everyone has an opinion but is it worth your time or do you need to put that sister/ friend in their place? Has it ever gotten YOU anywhere to care about what people think?

You may ask why am I so Adament about personal expression? Take a self assessment test below:

1. Are you uptight because of personal situations or your job?

2. What is currently in your wardrobe? Is it the same old style in a million colors? Are your clothes so baggy that you and everyone else can fit into them?

3. Do you have the right color palette?

4. Is your wardrobe too conservative?

5. What about your under garments? Are your "twins" screaming for a bra that fits? What about your under wear?  How grandma or sexy is it? The material of your underwear can be gratifying for your companion. Not everyone loves a thong but a thin panty strap on the hip can still b sexy.

6. Do you look like a tent, a linebacker, or perhaps a hooker? No matter your body type their are clothes that will flatter your body...and guess what?! You dont always have to wear a dark color on top or bottom to de-empasize a part of your body you don't like. Find a tailored shirt/jacket with some interest. Maybe the skirt/pant needs to be updated. Please don't buy any clothes/shoes with rhinestones that look like dog collars or sequins that look like my little girl put them on. 

7. Whether you have good feet or bad feet there are cute shoes out there that will make you feel pretty. Please shop within your budget. If you love to spend most of your money on shoes because thats how you express yourself. Try the comfort of  Naturalizers, Aresoles, Nine West, Echo, to name a few. Or maybe you love STACKS! #Luchiny, #Jessica Simpson, #The Baker Shoe Store, #Aldo Shoes, Steve Madden, to name a few. If you have a larger budget then try #Jimmy Choo, #Menolos, #Prada, or #Gucci.
8. Layer accessories in big and bold colors. Or wear unique pieces that add personality.
9. Mix patterns in prints. Don't look like a clown or that you just through something together but put stripes with solids, patterns with bold color. Experiment!
10. If you are finding it hard to try something different, then start as simple as nail polish. Choose a color that is wild! Treat yourself to a nice pedicure, if it works in your budget. Buy a nice pair of open toe shoes. Then just stare at your toes. Watch complements come a rolling!
