finally, after months of planning and date re-arranging…i made it to ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN for a F.O.K.U.S. event. since, my team is dead serious when it comes to “keeping busy” and i’m on the same page with overall making the most of your time — i was also scheduled to shoot with the amazingly talented DANTE MARSHALL. he approached me about doing a photoshoot a while back and this day, the timing worked out perfect with a cameo by BIG SEAN.
10:30AM – Land
11:30AM – Makeup & Styling
1:00PM – Meet & Greet
2:30-3:00PM : FOKUS Radio Interview

6:00PM – Screen Shot: Film as a Prominent Art Form 7-9pm

1992 THEMED PARTY

*TEDDY RUCKSPIN
*so sad you couldn’t be here LUPE!

*fake eyeslashes give me nightmares
+++++
anyways. i just want to say a MAJOR THANKS to miss ASHLEE ARDER and the crew at F.O.K.U.S. who were extremely sweet and welcoming. their organization is doing super dope things and i am very appreciative that i was asked to come and spend the day with them. at the end of it all, the “1992 Themed Party” was the cherry on top. TEDDY RUCKSPIN killed it and (without cue) the decorations were almost exact to what OSCAR and i do for our own parties – candy, quarter water and balloons. also thanks to DANTE MARSHALL + BIG SEAN + TINA J + BRITTANY + ISIS ARIAS !!!
everyone was sweet and treated me like family. i hope to visit again soon (and watch a WOLVERINES game!)
PS: shout out to all of you who came out. i met a lot of blog readers out there and a lot of INDIAN descent. it was nice to meet some of my INDIAN sistrens!

The picture with the burberry prorsum booties on the table with all the accesories is the dopeness for one, and two, Big Sean is probably madly in love with you. He has probably blurred the lines and no longer knows whats the photoshoot and whats reality! Because you’re flawless.
PS – BIG SEAN IS THA BIZ! I love his music.
Love Always,
CANADA!
