The Mike and Juliet Show

I had the opportunity to be on The Mike and Juliet Show today. It was a show about broken engagements and turning it into something positive. Yes, that would mean that I was a jilted bride in the midst of my destination wedding. My positive? focusing on my artistic crafts, pursuing my dream of owning my own business, using that force to help the community.

Rachel Safier had given me the heads up via her online community. She was to join us, but the producer let me know she had the stomach flu...I was disappointed we didn't meet in person as we had exchanged a couple of emails in the past.

Liz Weaver and Susannah Jabbour at the show were gracious. I liked how I wasn't treated as though I walked into a "talk show factory". It also helped that I got hair and makeup done YAY! As you can see I got a full face done. I felt like Mrs. Piggy or Janice from the Muppets! There was heavy saturation with eyeshadow, lipstick and blush = TV Makeup... I am sure the studio lights washed it out a bit : )



One of things they asked me to bring with me was the wedding invitation. I did even better I brought the save the date with me as well.



I was quite impressed with how hospitable everyone was. During pre-show conversations with Liz and Susannah, I really wanted to get a feel of the motive. I definetly didn't want to bash the former biker-guy. All the best to him with what he's doing. I am so satisfied right now that if I were to be upset it would be like taking two steps back.

At any rate, the producers told me I would be on the couch with Franz Wisner. Franz is a jilted groom who decided to go on his honeymoon and ended up traveling the world. His book is fittingly named Honeymoon with my Brother. We shared a joke here and there but really, who could dump this guy, furry friend and all?

His first few words to me, "How can anyone leave you at the altar?". How flattering! : ) It just goes to show that people of all walks of life can have these devastating events happen to them. It shows no discrimination. Franz autographed a copy of his book for me as well...I was hoping to meet Kurt, his brother. But I guess there's always next time.

I read the first few pages in the car ride home...It does grab you!

If anyone has seen the show leave me a comment...i haven't seen it yet! i know the last question Mike asked me was very unexpected...it was about my love life : P that look must have been priceless!

Go away Dean!!

Dean is hitting the waves in the Carribean Sea hard and watch as one bride evacuated and had her dream wedding moved to another locale. I am a sucker for this stuff! The DW girls and I have been watching this story all weekend courtesy of Matt Adcock. Might I add that my mom is in Jamaica on the south coast...local governments were advised to have lines taken down as the storm approached...with that said Go Away Dean!! i want to talk to my mom! lol.

A solemn tribute to Officer Timoshenko

I am currently based in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn New York. We are a community based off of the south eastern end of Prospect Park.

As many of you may have heard, there was a brutal shooting of two of our NY police officers (Herman Yan and Russel Timoshenko). It happened about 100 yards from my home. With the passing of Officer Timoshenko, a few of my neighborhood residents and myself went to visit the 71st precinct to offer cards and kind words for the 71 and Russels family. It was a impromptu gesture and i couldn't create a decent card but did make a collage:



I was surprised when Bob Marvin of The Lefferts Manor Organization's Echo (our local newsletter) asked me to print it. I am thankful and yet still hoping that Officer T's family can find a way to deal with their grief.

Brooklyn Bridge Invitation Sample

TodayI am trying out a new color scheme on the Brooklyn Bridge Wedding invitation. The Brooklyn Bridge invitation is gaining some popularity, thanks for the interest to all who have made inquiries. Here are a few as requested by a woman whom I hope to have the privilege of working with.

Remember the Ritz!!!

Much praises due to the brother in this video, Mr. Robert Gray...I promised myself i would blog more about my bike and getting back in to my wild riding days (hence the post on puma moto below), but man you have got to see this sideshow of a "thoughtful" not elaborate as the media has picked up on it:

A disclaimer, These are by the talented Ross Oscar Knight. and I am a photographer so i will be linking his blog. Here are a few precious samples of Mr. Knights Work (whom might i add is a very young gifted and handsome brother)

Amazing Photo journalism. Just as the style I was taught in College, Mr. Knight captures the emotions of Keisha in its ever changing scenarios.

PUMA MOTO!!!

I haven't rode my KLX650 in over a year : (

Anyone who knows me, knows my LUST for Puma clothing and footwear...I even got to be a contributing photographer for a Puma commercial shoot in September 2006. so...when I stalked the Puma website, I came across this in flash, hence the screen shots.


Yes that is a "puma cast" hahahahaha I love that! that was me in 2000 when I fractured my ankle lol. and they should make cast covers like that. i guess then some of us ::ahem:: wouldnt be forced to cut their cast off early : |



I am unsure of what I love more about this: the mechanical joints, or the sole. I am in love!



Now, this just has sexy written all over it! I could rock this with tight jeans and/or a skirt. Great for showing the cute rider in me!
