Test Shoot

Sometimes I think I'm extremely lucky cuz even when everything starts out going wrong it always comes together and those are the experiences I love and appreciate the most. I went to do this test shoot for Sylivia's via BHF and at first there was no stylist, no make-up people, and no hair dresser so I literally had to start shooting in the tank & jeans I had on with the up-do I was rockin straight from school. Eventually I got my make-up done and got some clothes but since it was a test shoot there was no one for hair. But I still got some great shots out of it. As always, these pics are behind the scenes shots I took witt my own low-quality ragedy ann camera:( I'm gonna try to get a good deal on a proffesional camera on Black Friday. The photographer called my camera "a point and shoot" cuz there's no focus/adjustement, nothing you jus click the button.lol
























steak with mashed potaoes and sauteed spinach. yuuuuuuuuuuum.



Proffessional's pics coming ASAP.

Jeffrey Gamble Photoshoot PREVIEW!

Here are a few behind the scenes shots I took with my own camera at my Jeffrey Gamble shoot. The photoshoot was for my 2 magazine covers so I gotta wait to get the proffesional copies.

The photographer is amazing...can't wait to show ya'll the pics he took.

The 4th Ward Studio where I had the shoot was so cool, there were paintings on every wall and the decor was very modern.







I really do love modeling. getting my hair and make-up done and having stylists to dress me. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do. For this shoot the theme was " Modern/Afro-Centric "






The hair was crazy, I don't know how she did it.

Guinean Independence Day: Hope For Guinea event

Oct 2nd is Guinean Independence day and of course if you read this blog you should know I'm from Guinea because I'm Miss Guinea North America. Even though the other day I told someone I was from Guinea and they asked me if I was Ethiopian -_- yeahhhhh.lol Anyways on Saturday I went to this Hope For Guinea Foundation charity event that also celebrated Guinean independence. It was a lot of fun and I really learned alot about my country. I know alot of poeple don't know about Guinea cause we really aren't doing much in the world cause it's so corrupt because of the government but we have so many natural resources to offer to the world we just need the right people to run the country and develop it into the great nation I know it has the potential to become. Enough about politics, here's some pics I took from the event.

















Penne Rigate with Meat Sauce

Not to brag but damn my husband gonna be one lucky SOB cuz I can throw down in the kitchen. I mean damn everything I make tastes so good.lol &all those who know me personally know how much I love to eat. I really do love to cook but I'm usually too busy or too lazy. My family doesn't think I can cook though cause I don't know how to make african food but I mean I only know how to make the things I personally like to eat like pasta, chicken, potatoes, burgers and all that. But anyhoo, I was watching the food network and one of the chefs said penne is a great pasta that goes with everything and so I looked in the cabinet & ofcourse we had some so I decided to make a quick dinner and document the process for you guys:). Btw, pasta is one of my favoooorite foods, I can eat it like everyday. I order the tuscani pasta from pizza hut EVERY Tuesday! only $10!


Started out with chopped onions that I put in a pan with a tablespoon of butter and sauteed  it then I added the 1/2 pound of ground beef and mixed it occasionally until it turned brown.

 These are the ingredients I used. (butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, canned stew tomatos, black pepper, chilli powder, garlic powder, seasons salt, 4 cheese blend, and penne regate pasta)




I bolied the pasta for about 15mins then drained it and added it to the pan of meat with tomato sauce



I added oregno. Mixed everything around, put the four cheese blend in there and topped it off with powdered parmesean cheese

 The finished product! It was sooooo yummmy man.
