Hey boo-thangs!  Just wanted to share some random recent snapshots!  In order from left to right:  A snapshot of me and my friend Ty at Fashion Week, a snapshot of me in Matthew Cherry's new web-series Almost 30 (I learned so much while shooting it in LA!), a few shots from the Rip The Runway viewing party and the most amazing view of Times Square I thought I would never see (especially at an audition).  I also wanted to add a recent shot of me in the gym this past week as some form of inspiration to anyone who needs a boost.  I workout to clear my mind and to keep my heart happy (both emotionally and physically) and I think any bit helps.  Just remember even a small step is a step in the right direction.  Happy March loves!  (no more Mercury retrograde until June-PHEW!)

This year was, without a doubt, a year FULL of gifts (triumphs, challenges, lessons, and all).  I wanted to share some of my top fave moments of 2012.  It was, indeed, a blessed one.  My 2012 Highlights include:

Hiiiiii babyloves!  I hope all is well with all of you.  I just got back into town and wanted to share some pics from my adventures this past month!

Before heading out to Atlantic City for my mini vacay I stopped in to give my friend Roble hugs and love for his birthday (so fun!).  I rocked my Monif C. convertible dress aka my new favorite thing in my closet.  I feel like when Monif went to design that dress she had me (and my booty) in mind! lol LOVED it :)  

To AC we go!  I got to see Beyonce live at the GORGEOUS new Revel Resort grand opening in Atlantic City (special hugs to my sweet friends Asa and Robert).   I had front row seats to see Bey (I know..cray) and, let me tell you, the energy was NUTS!  Luke James, who was the opening act, sounded smooth like butter too ;) 

Everyone and their mama came out to see her but I tell you my heart stopped for about 2 seconds when Michelle Obama walked in with her girls.  The only person that could take my attention away from Beyonce was our FLOTUS and it was so fun to watch them dance and sing every song.  They had a blast!  The whole show was amazing, aesthetically very pleasing and Beyonce worked her butt off.  The voice? Incredible.  I paid attention to every detail: the dancers, the choreography, the lighting, the production, etc...and I loved it.  Kudos to Bey and her team!!  Check out the photos I took:

I also finally got the chance to rock my new pin-up style ModCloth bikini poolside at Revel ;)   I loved the way it fit my booty and, well, who doesn't love cherries?? ;)   And since we are on the topic of bikini's I wanted take the time to urge you plus gals to rock whatever it is you desire to rock at the pool/beach this summer.  No coverups!  We only get one life to live so don't waste your time worrying about what anyone else has to say.  Do what makes you happy honey!  I absolutely wanted to share this awesome post by my good friend Gabi Fresh: Fatkini 2012.  I love her for showing off what her mama gave her and giving women the confidence to wear bikini's this summer and in style!  Please follow her blog.  She offers amazing fashion tips and, well, she's hot.  

After AC I jetted off to LA and did a shoot with the ever so lovely Inez Lewis.   Fellow plus model Danielle Line joined me on set and my girl Reah Norman was there to help with her styling expertise!  (Go team PLUS!)

I also got to see my baby brother graduate high school which was the highlight of my trip.  And no big deal but my brother absolutely did the dougie right after he accepted his diploma on stage.  That's my baby! lol   

I also wanted to share a couple more pics I took behind the scenes at my Kontrol Magazine shoot (which comes out in August).  Check out the shoessss honey!  Special shout-out to Cynthia and Chris for their help!
