About Me


I'm from Washington DC. AKA chocolate city. There is nothing like home but there is nothing like livening in a new city and learning it's ends and outs. Las Vegas is not that hard to learn how to get around but quite easy. We all know Las Vegas as sin city with nothing but show girl, show boys, dining out at fabulous restaurants, gamboling. Listening to Lounge singers, clubing until 6am and drinking a cock tail while walking the strip around noon lol. There is much more than the strip in Las Vegas. It has its beautiful moments. Like The sun sets are amazing. Reds, orange, purple, fusia and different shads of blue. Its like water color paint spilled all over the sky. During the day the mountains come in different shades of red and oranges in a cretin part called Red Rock, but they come alive at night looking like giants that are sleeping peacefully. Its pretty cool. There are all types of people around the world that come to visit or resigned in Vegas. So you are all way's meeting all types of people from different back grounds and cultures. It takes some getting use to at first especially when you come from the east coast where Philly is two hrs from dc and New York takes only four hours to get to. Just a hop skip and bus ticket away to the fashion capitol where you end up in a high traffic of a sea full of all types of people moving around to get to there destination. those are the people we call a true new Yorker. I'm kind of laid back I guess. I see my self as a normal person with dreams and goals working my way to the top in the fashion/ make-up industry hoping and praying that this is what God has planed for me. That's the best thing about it all I don't know what he has planed for me. I just know that I'm going some where and that some where is up. One thing about me I'm all ways looking for that positive side of things no mater they are. I try to keep my head up in any negative situation. I believe if you let that negative part of life take a hold of you it will only slow you down. I see our struggles as our test. We all have them its just how will handle those situations and how will we over come them. I can tell you that Iv had my share and I know that there will be more to come. So staying positive and keeping family and friend's around me that are positive, up lifting, and supportive in any thing I do and also holding on to my faith #1 "GOD" is really all I need in this life. Those things and believing in my self is what keeps me grounded and wanting more out of lifeI’m an up coming make-up artist and I love what I do. When applying makeup to some ones face female or male its like having a three demintinol canvas. It's exciting to enhance some ones natural beauty or to create something out of this world that only you can create from your own mind. That's the fun part of being an artist. You see your work face to face and how it makes that person feel inside and out. You never know how you can change some one's perspective on them selves. My objective when applying make-up is to bring out that beauty. There is no better feeling. I have all ways been in the arts creating and building things that come from my crazy colorful mind. Just like every on else in this world with so many different gifts. using my gift to work my way up so that one day I will be abele to support me and my family and have my own make-up line. That's one of my many goals. I'm all ways looking for more ways to inspire my self artistically to keep on creating even more bigger and beautiful ideas to bring to life. Also, I hope that my gift will help to motivate and inspire other artist and non artist to keep on perusing there dreams. To all that have goals and aspirations out there I wish you the best of luck in what ever you do in life. Don't stop dreaming stay positive and keep looking up.

Heroes:

I know a lot of times our parents are our heroes and they always will be our heroes no matter what. We look up to them for advice in anything we do... throughout our lifetime. For me my hero that is #1 (one) on my list is “GOD“. I can only give him all the glory because without him nothing would be possible. The #2nd person is my Grandmother. You can learn alot from your elders if you just listen and watch. There is another person that comes in #2nd as well and that’s my mother. I thank her for letting me be me no matter what. As a young gay male it is hard growing up in a non-perfect world.... so to know that there is nothing wrong with you.... and learning to love and appreciate yourself at a young age is a blessing in itself. I love you mom for preparing me on this roller coaster ride as a young gay man. Child....sometimes I felt like I was ready to give up.... but you have always assured me that everything is going to be alright...allowing me to shine as bright as I can.
