Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 7

This is week seven already. Time is flying by so fast. Before you know it, it will be time to pick them for a feast. Well maybe not a big feast but close enough. This is a very great journey that I'm having so much fun doing. I'm also excited that I am now starting to see progress since I used the organic fertilizer last week. Yesterday I was able to place some more plant food on them. It really does help, well so far so good. In plot 1, more peppers are sprouting as well as tomatoes. Plot 2 is gaining a flower on the eggplant plant. We also added a third box to the mix, which has beans and tomatoes.

Michael Jackson Candlelight Vigil 2011

It's hard to believe it's been two years already since the death of Michael Jackson. Of course it was my day to dress up as Michael Jackson and celebrate his life. I went to work and my co worker Deana had did my makeup for me. After that it was on. I stood outside my job and received so much love. It was amazing.




Now it was time to head over to NYC to pay my repsects to the King of Pop. On my way there we were jamming Michael Jackson tunes and waving at fans. It was amazing seeing all the reactions from fans of all ages. As we were approaching the George Washington Bridge, I looked out the window and waved at people and it helped the wait go so smoothly.



The event was held outside the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. There were so many people there and the energy was amazing. People were taking photos of me and with me the whole time. There were people wearing MJ shirts and accessories. There was news reporters out there and I was able to get a brief interview with a local station Televisa.

A name you all definitely need to look up and know is Moses Harper. She is by far the best Michael Jackson tribute artist I have ever seen. She had all the moves down to a "t" and expression. It was such an honor metting and sharing the same atmosphere with her. I'm still in awe about how down to earth she was. She was helping me break out of my shell. It was also amazing how instantly we bonded. It seemed like we knew eachother for years. That's te power of Michael Jackson. She has definitely gained a new fan and friend. The energy she posessed gave me chills. I would definitely love to see her again. Remember her name: MOSES HARPER









Time to leave

Fashion Feature: Kobi Levi Footwear

I recently saw an article on CNN website about this shoe designer. All I could say is "Wow!" He has a very creative imagination. He just about created everything into a designer shoe. Some of which I wonder how anyone can walk in them.

Here are some examples and faves from his blog.

Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 6

Hey guys! This is week 6 already here in the community garden. There are some things about these plots that bother me. When I look at each row in the plot, they look like they fight for water because there is one growing so nicely. This leaves the other struggling. Then I see holes in my eggplant leaves, so I know there are bugs still eating my plants. I still see no tomatoes growing, yet I do see an eggplant flower growing. Other than those things I do see sort of slow progress. This was also the week I add more plant food to the plots like I first started doing during week 4, but instead I was given organic plant food from the conservancy. I sprinkled it around the plants then watered them. The conservancy also brought by a gardening tool trunk and some supplies to use.
