Life in Austin, Texas

My life, via fotographs.

"I am the light of my world"

I am aware of it now.

"We go through New Mexico?!!"

For those that are wondering how I got involved on this fashion art tour, this article is going to sum up how I got a seat on the tour van.

In the summer of 2009 I met Timmery Turner at The Dragonfly in Hollywood. She was selling her jewelry while promoting for her "Sugar Show" that empowers and highlights women in the arts. I shared with her this very blog & got her permission to write about her jewelry & upcoming shows. I started participating as a vendor & designer with Da Bidnez Fashion Art Collective. Da Bidnez (DB) knows of the benefits and opportunities Sugar has to offer up & coming businesses, designers, musicians, & artists. That being said, when Timmery announced the Sugar does America, I knew in my heart that this was my ticket to success. I have been a Sugar supporter since the first time I met Timmery at The Dragonfly. I get to document the entire tour while sharing my designs across this beautiful and vast country.

The Sugar does America tour started in Seattle, Washington in July 2011 for Sugar does Seattle and in February 2012, Sugar does Portland made heads turn in Oregon. The Sugar team raised enough funds to buy a van, The Sugar Mobile also known as "Precious Electric Sparkle".

Precious Electric Sparkle left for California & stopped at the Tinsel Tokyo Headquarters in Burbank & payed a visit to Sugar intern Chelsi's apartment in San Bernardino. We've gone through Phoenix, Arizona & are close to the New Mexico border as we move forward to Austin, Texas. Peeps some iPhoto's:

My last blank Tuesday until October 2012

I'm here at the bar at The Airliner sipping on a rum and cola just memorized by the amount of people grooving and chilling at blank Tuesday! There must be at least 200 people here. I'm so proud to be a part of something so special an revolutionary. We are taking back the night showcasing talent from near and far. Check out these fotos:

San Francisco then Austin

The Sugar Art and Fashion show Tour is still underway. Our next stop is Austin, Texas. Got the news that my trip starts a lot earlier than expected. I have a week to pack my belongings and equipment. Before I hit the road, I will be visiting my brother in San Francisco for a few days. He is having a launch party for his clothing line : Hometown Kings. Check them out on Facebook.

Today was truly a beautiful day. I'm blessed by the love that surrounds me. And I thank you for reading and viewing my page. Please leave me comments or suggestions . Let's start a conversation.
