My Sisters Keeper

Dominica Steps up

Friday January 15th, 2010 — I’d just like to state that before I’m a Brooklyn Diva, I am a Dominican FIRST.  For the past few years the Nature Island of  the Caribbean, Dominica  and fellow french sister island to Haiti has been the refuge, new home-town or “stop-off point” to many Haitian people displaced after a few tragic Hurricanes several  years back.  I am proud to hear that several companies and locals throughout the country has donated a substantial amount of money to the Haitian people. Also granting illegal Haitian nationals a 6 month anti-deportation extension.

Ms. LeBlanc’s New Face

Monday January 4th, 2010– So since “10″ seems to be such a magical number—I mean after all it IS my fabulous day of birth — and since the Black Eye Peas are declaring the fabulous arrival of the 2010 year to generally be a Good Night I think we’re all feeling the overall positive energy that 2010 has brought in.

Immediately following the legendary NYC ball drop, new ideas took place in my head. I took some inspiration from 1 of my Fashion Fairy Godmothers: The Legendary Ms. Patricia Field and here’s what happened:

YOU LIKEY?!

So I figured, since I need to start branding things very soon, why not come up with a newer personified logo to go along with our Jane tag!

needs more tweaking. But which one so far? Top or Bottom.

Oh! and let’s not forget my fabulous encounter with the darling Ms. Pat herself, during my modeling days. After chatting it up, sharing a few laughs and me rambling for 2 minutes about how much I LOVE HER, here we are at a Growing Up Gotti birthday party back in 05′ with her (12 year old God Son)  Zachary (yes, in the club!)

yes, it was HOT in there! And that was my cell phone sticking out of my Bra! heehee.

“Young Model. Messy Room”:

*Featuring: Model Citizens hanging on the wall, Beach Bag on Bunk Beds & CHUCKS underneath!

So whenever in New York prance on over to the Fab boutique, right off “The Bowery”, where there’s a lot of madness to get into…

Hmmm, I think I might go there today, I need some Biker Gloves!

Until then visit online:

THE PINK TEA CUP
Tucked into a cozy West Village storefront, the Pink Tea Cup is every bit as inviting as its name suggests, with crowded rows of petite wooden tables, faux-Tiffany hanging fixtures, and, soft rose-colored walls. Founded by Floridian Mary Raye in 1954, the restaurant’s tradition of home-style southern cooking is carried on today by Raye’s niece and grand-niece, and the convivial ambiance and menu reflect the restaurant’s devotion to homespun family fare. Like any good mom, the Pink Tea Cup offers an overwhelming spread: “Dinner” means soup, salad, entrée, bread, two vegetables, and dessert, served fast, hot, and in heaping portions. Pork chops and the barely breaded fried chicken are local favorites; sweet and spicy barbecued ribs and a side of salty collard greens are standouts.
