Who's That Lady?


So, several months ago I set out on a journey to Merrillville, Indiana to drop off baby gift for a friend. I had no idea when I got there that I would be interrupting a recording session for a very talented young lady known simply as, Tiara Thomas. It didn't take much urging before she was doing an impromptu performance. I was completely blown away. So, without further delay, it's my pleasure to introduce her to all of you! You might wanna become a fan now before the bandwagon jumpers hop on board.


"I'm a hater of love, and a player because I don't care enough." This is one of my favorite lines (of my own) because I enjoy being free from love. I'm only 20 and love makes things way too complicated. I like being carefree:) Although, I know I'll have to give up that mentality eventually..no time soon though.

"A lot of this new music hurts my ears. I see it like this: the music industry doesn't need just another "good singer." WooHoo, you can sing...everyone can sing. The game needs more talented, and creative musicians."



"You can find me on youtube. Just search my name! Or add me on facebook and listen to studio versions of my songs. Follow me on twitter @Akoustic1 and I'll keep everyone updated on events and new posts. Also, I'll have an acoustic session demo available in a week for the low low!"

Death of A Fashion Icon


Last week, the fashion world tragically lost one it's most creative minds. Alexander McQueen died last Thursday February 11th, 2010 at the young age of 40. McQueen's death is still being investigated, but is currently being reported as a possible suicide. His mother also passed away earlier this month. McQueen tweeted about the death, letting on that he was having a difficult time dealing with the loss, but was being consoled by family and friends.


Mcqueen's runway shows were known for dramatic pieces and one-of-a-kind designs, though most may be more familiar with the work he did while designing for Gucci and Givenchy. Whether working on his own lines or designing for other brands, his work was unparelled. To describe him in one word: Genius.
