im just sayin!?!


okay is it JUST me, but whats with this line in movies and tv series, that are set in Miami..."you live in Miami and you don't speak SPANISH...huh!????!" WTF (and it's always said with attitude...in a tone of disbelief).  last time i checked, Miami is part of the US and we speak ENGLISH in the US.  i have several latin friends, here in the US...they speak ENGLISH.  I'm born and raised in Miami and it was never a prerequiste, speaking Spanish.  what confuses me the most about that  statement is that i've lived in other countries and i've ALWAYS had to learn and speak the language to communicate.  so why ALL the attitude?????  AND NO I'M NOT BASHING LATIN PEOPLE...so don't get it TWISTED!!!

flashBACK thursday.....vintage SKM

The "Mecca" Collection  Spring/Summer '94
backStory: about two weeks before i was to show this collection (during fashion week),
i was asked to particapte in a group show w/Tracey Reese & Byron Lars, a couple
of french designers (Alphadi was one), a couple of african designers
from Abidjan and one carribean designer...showing in the Ivory Coast, Abidjan, Africa.
the mecca collection was complete, so off i went and i had "one" of the best times of my life. 
"it changed my life and my way of looking @ situations."

this DNR cover is when i was graced with the title
"King of Chic"
this was one of the "great moments" in my design career.
i was pleasently surprised and very PROUD of myself. 

xtra bit: i purchased ALL the accessories for this collection in Abidjan,Africa.
