Halloween Inspired...

Many times I am inspired by someone perhaps something they did or said and that person doesn't even know it. 

As if guarding a secret I use the inspiration to take me to places in my mind where I have not been.

I've been living life to the fullest and became my own lover. 

I must admit... I am a damn good lover.

I have laughed with many strangers and traded many stories. 

The city at the moment rages around me but I've built space where I find silence...stillness.  

I can't seem to forget that I was bred by Yemaya, the African drum, magic and witchcraft.

Then... there is the nighttime. The moon that feeds my creative soul. The ghosts that try to creep in. 

Haunting monsters that only reside within but I am always ready for a good battle.

Happy Halloween everyone...

Red...

Red is strong, fierce and passionate. 

Red is determination and at times surreal. 

Red is the color of love and hungry lips.

Red is also the color of shame...

“Your red dress,’ she said, and laughed.

But I looked at the dress on the floor and it was as if the fire had spread across the room. It was beautiful and it reminded me of something I must do. I will remember I thought. I will remember quite soon now.”

We tried to go for a second concept. We tried because we had beautiful dresses that needed to be worn. We tried but the skies told me it would only be about Red...
