~.Trying to get a grasp on what reality truly is. I live in a box yet I am as "Out The Box" as they come. I dress to express my thoughts. It took some time for this evolution & this is only the beginning. I take pride in Vintage items. I honor any items from the 1970s - 1980's. Shows like Solid Gold... So many Artists, in the likes of Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Gap Band stay in my playlists. Movies like Mahogany, The Wizard of Oz & Purple Rain weigh and influence my mind somewhat like the weather. What you have perceived in life, may it have all been a dream? Maybe. While trying to figure it all out, let's have fun searching & banging out with everything on this Earth.. From Sexuality to Experimenting. From Music to Fabrics. From Researching our History to being curious of the Future. From the Universe to Ebonics. Respect My Vision.~

#TBT #MarvinGaye (Annie Leibovitz, 1972)
#Leibovitz’s camera exposed a solitary, contemplative side of Motown’s quintessential romantic. Gaye, then thirty-three, would be murdered by his father twelve years later.

“Since she burst on the scene at the age of 19, Alicia Keys has been a miraculous combination of #beauty, #talent, and star power. A classically trained pianist with a powerful voice, an old #soul, and a gift for writing songs that top the charts and clean up at award shows, Alicia established herself as an R&B #superstar from jumpβand she hasn’t slowed down since. But you ain’t heard nothin’ yet. On her fifth studio album, Girl on Fire, her first release as a wife and mother, she digs deeper than ever before, singing songs that are more powerful and personal than ever.
With Girl on Fire dropping November 27, now seemed the perfect moment for Alicia to grace the cover of Complex for the second time. Photographer Gavin Bond pulled out all the stopsβhe even brought a fluffy white kitty to the shootβand Alicia stepped up the sexiness to another level. Complex senior editor Rob Kenner went to London to find out what kind of burning passions set this girl on fire. Our issue goes on sale December 4, but you can read the cover story right now. So what are you waiting for?” #AliciaKeys #complexmag #November #December #2012 #Music @complexmag

“What you gon do when they come for you?
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills.
What you gon do when they come for you.
God, I can’t stand life without you.
See me and baby got this situation.
See brother got this complex occupation.
And it ain’t that he don’t have #education. ππ
Cause I was right there at his #graduation. π
Now I ain’t sayin that this #life don’t work.
But it’s me and baby that he hurts.
Because I tell him right he thinks I’m wrong.
But I love him strong.”
