Wake Up Renewed

Good morning, afternoon, and evening. Be renewed with the waking of each day. Today is beautiful, be encouraged to help others but first you must help yourself. It's ok to be selfish from time to time. You need ME time. Don't behave as crabs in a bucket help pull each other up. I'm from Detroit, and my city needs a change, a positive change. I was angry and stressed and that messed with my health. I found peace and YOU can too. Find peace in your life and you will begin to see the changes in your life. I AM the change Detroit needs. I am the change the world needs. My past isn't perfect and future will hold more trials but TODAY my past is my testimony and my actions speaks volumes now. Don't be afraid to be you and you never know, your story may encourage somebody else so don't be shy or timid or lacking self confidence because of stained past.  

Queen B is back !!

Hey People, 

          Brittany is back! I took a mini vacation to get my mind right, and in doing so I discovered a lot about my self as a spirit being and about myself in the flesh. I gave myself a purity ring, this ring symbolizes my promise to myself and God to be celibate until marriage. Yes, I have a boyfriend but, he understands my decision. Looking for love will drive you crazy; and force you to realize you've had it in your life all along. No love is greater than the love God gives us. I've decided to devote my life to serving God by using my talents to bring people closer to him and to help others reach their full potential.

           Politically Incorrect is more than a brand, it's a lifestyle. I am currently planning a launch party and celebration for my birthday. This event will bring us people of Detroit together for something positive and connect the worlds of Art and Fashion at last. Detroit is great, Detroit will be great, Detroit can change. I believe I am the change this city needs to see, which can cause a ripple effect. 

          My honey's Ni ( @styledbyNI ) x Jillz ( young_brokefab ) have also been away handling business and reaching new levels in their careers. Im proud of all my ladies for handling business and taking care of their homes. 

I am currently looking to build a team of designers, and seamstresses (paid job) to help w/ the pieces for my event. A team of photography and short films will be needed as well. If you or anyone you know is interested please let me know ASAP. This event will be something you won't want to miss, Trust Me. I love each of you reading. Know that after the storm something beautiful is gonna take place. xoxo -BC 

          BE PATIENT, WAIT ON THE LORD, and have Faith that your dreams will become your realities.

Took Me Long Enough !

Whatsup? Whatsup?


          Sooooooo let me start by saying THANK YOU to my team for all the progress we're making. This weekend was one of the busiest my life has seen in a minute, and I loved every minute of it. I can say that I'm blessed to be able to start my journey doing what I love with people that I love, and who genuinely love me. So shout out to that.

My weekend started with Britt's trial shoot. StyledbyNI. For this shoot, I did not provide the clothes. These were her own clothes. I'm only responsible for the way they were put together.. The shoot was shot on location inside an abandoned warehouse located on Detroit's East Side.


We got a ton of good shots from both looks, but these are some of my favorites. they're untouched photos.

That was a success, following the shoot was the Shopping Party for RagzTagzandBagz shout out to Tiffany again for my glasses. I love them. Check out Ragz Tagz and Baggz Here for your chance to take up to 25% or more off of your next purchase. 

Also if your in the Greensboro area be sure to check out Jill on the Natural Hair panel at the Return of the Curls Curls Gone Wild Natural Hair Expo and Fashion Show. 

That Pretty Much Sums up my thoughts. Muah! 

The Weekend in NI: 

Gucci SS 2014 YEAH! or NOT!

Okay, I have been waiting to see what Gucci's SS 2014 Collection would look like, just because the SS 2013 looks were not that impressive to me. It was nice (because its Gucci of course), but I felt they had kind of played it safe. But CHILE the SS 2014 Men's Collection is different. I don't know where  Frida Giannini  got the idea for all these moody floral patterns, as well as the stylized outerwear. But some of the pieces I really like, others no so much.

This look reminds me of Dwayne Wade somewhat with the tight tailoring, and the relaxed ankle on the pant. I'm not in love with the floral prints but on here they dont look so bad. I think it would take a woman such as  Rihanna or Madonna to pull this one off. hmmm..  out of five stars, ill give this one 3/5

I like this jacket, but not the pants. Not a fan of form fitting pants as far as Men's Fashion goes. The jacket is cool though. 2/5 because of the pants

Sexy! I love tailored suits. Suits do to women what lingerie does for men. The jacket on this look is unique with the double right ride pockets, and then the single left pocket. The color is everything, but I mean what color wouldn't this look good in? ;) 5/5 !! 

Eh, not totally excited about this one but I don't hate it. As mentioned before I'm not a fan of this type of pant on men, but the jacket is not so bad. I like the double breasted approach, it just seems over sized, and somewhat boxy. Not to mention its long on the sleeves and short above the waist.  3/5 overall. 

Frida DID THAT!! with this coat. I love it, it would do more for me if it was a color other than putty. But hey, this ones a winner! It's short like the one before but it isn't a formal coat which makes the look not so bad over a pair of jeans, or even cargos. 4/5 would have 5/5 but i can't get with the pants. Lol. 

And this my friends is where she lost NI, i cant take it. Return to Sender, Address invalid, NO NO NO! 

.....hmmm, idk Gucci. I just don't know. 

New Slaves

Every year the city of Detroit hosts a fireworks show and every year a careless random shooting occurs. Yesterday the annual fireworks were held and just as expected.....

a shooting occurred. The random gun fire caused a stampede of people, and individuals were ran and trampled over. In the midst of the commotion and confusion a 3 year old girl was left standing, waiting to get ran over. A FEMALE that I know, ran back to grab this child, injuring herself in the process. My first question was, "where was her mother?" Well folks....she decided she had to "get the fuck out of there" and left her child standing there. Yes, that's what I said, she left her. How as a PARENT do you leave the life you created and birthed, standing in harms way?? I am truly disgusted and hurting. 

 

When as a people do we begin to want more for our children, for ourselves??  When will you wake up and realize that you are INFACT NEW SLAVES!!

This slavery isn't physical, it's mental!! Blacks have been so brain washed and fed so much bullshit that our way of thinking is fucked up. The City of Detroit is a prime example of that fucked up mentally. Hustle, buy a bunch of clothes, get a whip, throw some 6's on it, get fresh, get a bad bitch make a bunch of babies you can't afford, take pictures to stunt and show off your money and fancy clothes. That's what considered living these days?!?!?! When did that become life?? When did your appearance begin to take precedence over the actual life you live?? Today isn't a history lesson, just a mini rant from a fed up African American female. We are forced to watch the continually enslavement through reality tv, we enslave ourselves with our own behavior. They sit back and watch as you fight over meaningless, worthless, things! Kill each other over a dollar that ain't worth the paper it's printed on. Im not saying its wrong to want nice things, or have them. But why is it so important?? For an image?? An image for people that dont give a damn about your life in reality?? An image for people who's opinions YOU profess and claim don't matter in your life??  When will you wake up people!!!! There is bigger War going on than we know and right now we are losing the battle. I refuse to lose the battle.  Why are we no longer the proud people we once were, why do fight our own instead of fighting those that are T.K.O'n our black asses. Every one of us has said at some point "O I couldn't have a been a slave, I would have......" But YOU ARE A SLAVE....now what are you gonna do it about it??  BC

L.O.V.EEEEEE

Morning Folks, 

     So usually I'm not the one to post about Love, Relationships, etc.: Most times Britt and Jill take care of the emotional side of this blog. Lol. #thuglife

But I was talking to my mentor, and the conversation switched to Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness... We were talking about the difference in relationships back in the day, and relationships now.  I was telling her of my own trust issues and how I acquired them.The thing that stood out the most in our conversation was when she said that Every time you get with a person, your going to have to teach yourself to that person, they'll have to learn what you like, what you don't like, what makes you happy, sad, etc.: For example, If you've been with a person for a couple years, throughout these years you've taught yourself to this person. They obviously know you if you've been dealing with each other for this amount of time. So if every time we started a new relationship we kept in mind how much of ourselves we would have to reteach to this new person it would start to seem like a better idea to add these issues to the list of things you don't like, and work through them.  Don't base a relationship on the best days, or the worst days, but the average days. Learn how to argue. Arguments aren't screaming matches in which whoever is the loudest wins. Nope. An argument is just a fancy disagreement.

That made me think. We sometimes get so caught up on how easy it is to move on, or to get someone different. When the whole time the only person who we're affecting is ourselves. Once you learn love and decide to love a person for everything that makes them that person (Flaws and All) the process of actually loving will become more understanding. Love is more than sex. Love is more than a relationship status on facebook. Love is serious. 

Now of course I'm not saying force yourself to stay with a person because of how long y'all been together.. BUT I am saying if somewhere in there you have a little hope that things can and will change, stick with it. Make your relationship work for you. After the thrill of being in a new relationship is over that's usually where it all starts. I think its important to keep a relationship fresh. Surprises, Date Nights, Showing Affection, Conversation, all of that!! Just keep it new! If you keep your relationship new, you might not need a new one.
