CHRISETTE MICHELE - BETTER (ALBUM)

Chrisette Michele’s fourth studio album “Better” was released just recently, and it’s beginning to grow on me. I’ve played it repeatedly, so I guess it’s safe to say I’m in like. I’ve been a fan of Chrisette since her debut album from Island Def Jam, back in 2007, my discovery of her happened by curiousity. (The poster of the album cover was posted on a boarded up business by my home, from there I researched her, bought the album and fell in love with it.) The debut “I Am” is still probably my favorite of her four releases, though with a slightly different vibe I don’t think “Better” dissapoints either. My favorite songs being “Charades” (*without 2Chainz), “Snow” “I’m Still Fly” “Better” “Get Through the Night” “I’m Still Fly” and lastly “A Couple of Forevers” (Aside - The album cover is gorgeous! Photo by Derek Blanks whom I also love.) The album in my opinion is definitely worth the listen, if you enjoy R&B from vocalists that actually have skills.

tobia:

If you are not making mistakes, you’re not taking enough risks

Expect anything worthwhile to take a long time

Work very, very hard

Ask for opportunities

Finish what you start

Say yes to almost everything

Busy is a decision

Don’t censor your dreams before you actually dream

I worked with Natural Hair Bride this past Friday, photographing their launch runway event the “Natural Bride Couture Fashion Show”! Their first runway show featured wedding dresses by Victoria Sudoukos Bridal here in Chicago, natural bridal wedding hairstyles, makeup done by artists for Selah Cosmetics in New York City and a Special Guest performance by soul singer Dwele.

Here’s a few behind the scenes photos from my instagram of makeup in progress! The event turned out so beautiful, it was so nice to see natural hair styles that can be worn for one the biggest days of a woman’s life (her wedding day) when previously women weren’t sure if it was possible or were encouraged to straighten their hair.

So glad I was there for this exhibition and discussion in Chicago!!! Such a great night!

stoptellingwomentosmile:

From the talk in Chicago last night.

The discussion was lively, informative, funny, challenging. I learned some stuff from the audience, and I think others learned as well. Along with street harassment, we talked about the art itself. Who the women are in the drawings, why I chose them, what the design process is, what the wheat pasting process is like.
I met some great, passionate people. I look forward to coming back to this city.

Thanks for coming out, Chicago.
