She released her debut album in 1973(eleven years before my time).....which many say was ahead of its time. Davis was married to jazz legend Miles Davis and introduced him Jimi Hendrix and his sound. My own mother has had Ms. Davis in

Italian actress Sophia Loren is from a time when women were women. She has classic style and her skin always seems to glow. Her beauty has stuck with me since I was a child. Now as an adult I draw inspiration from her being.Her famous quote: "All you see I owe to Spaghetti"I say if you got it flaunt it....a lil bitHer skin seems to "glow" from withinNo photoshop here but still beautiful!Beautiful

During one of those days when I just wonder aimlessly around the city...I an across this place...on the Bowery...called Collective Hardware. The guy running the place was outside smoking a cigarette and I said to myself...hmm he looks interesting...so I sparked up a convo with him. His name is Gabriel by the way...and he let me take pics inside. COLLECTIVE HARDWARE is a 5 level.....gallery...

Reason numero uno that I started HOTAZZGRITZ was to document my life and experiences in NYC. The other reason was so that I could meet new and interesting people(and introduce them to you)!

This time serendipity struck one of my bf's....Sparkles Hill. She was working(she's a hairstylist-one the best in my humble opinion) in New Orleans last week at the My Black is Beautiful Tour when two guys came in looking for someone good at blowdries.
