Vogue Fem: Kitty Destruction

Vogue fem is a style of dance created by the LGBT community. It involves five elements: hands, catwalk, duckwalk, spins & dips. Everyone has there own style of vogue. I like to be soft and dainty in my style. My outfit is a laced bustiere and decorative panties with black tights. My face is accessorized with a kitty mask. My style of vogue is accompanied by an effect, which is my outfit.

"Free of Sin"

Carte blanche at Paule Ka


Its not the same anymore-"the world". We strip our environment, commit crimes and ridicule abnormal behavior.

It's time to be "Free of Sin" and become better people. They say it's bad luck to where "white" after Labor Day, but it's time to break the myth. Designers are spicing up the color white and making woman and men "Angels."

Emerging Theme:
"Free of Sin"

Last Night was awesome at Club Aurora featuring Lil Kim. She performed around 2 am as her body guards led her to the stage. The first song she performed was DRUGS in her black leather dress with caged heels that incased diamonds on her heels. I was so into her performance that I forgot the rest of the songs she performed. She held my hand as she swayed side to side. It was definitely a moment to remember. Kim was petite from her hands to her feet. This is my second time seeing Kim.

I Love You Kim
