Introducing Kojo Daniel...........
The other day my sister got my nephew Noah a new puppy. He decided to name him Kojo, last night was my first time seeing him. OH MY WORD-It was LOVE @ first bark, lol. I fell in love with him the minute I opened the door. It honestly made me consider getting a dog myself, mmmm...the thought lasted very briefly though, lol. I'd rather go to my sister's crib where I can visit him, and hey-I can always dog sit from time to time:) All in all, he is a pretty good pup, doesn't bark too much, laid back and super affecttionate just like I like em. Welcome to the fam Kojo!!!

Black History Month Art Exhibit: African Americans: Seeing and Seen, 1766 – 1916....
As I was doing some research on the web to find some new exhibits, I stumbled upon this particular one that caught my eye.....
African Americans Seeing and Seen @ the "Babcock Galleries". Not only does it sound interesting BUT, it's Freelicious folks!!!! Here is a little break down of the exhibit with more details:
This exhibit examines the positive and negative portrayals of blacks in American fine art, dating back to colonial times. Babcock Galleries assistant director and exhibit curator Tess Sol Schwab noted African American history "…can be catalogued by the racist and derogatory images across the centuries that have mirrored popular views while at the same time shaping and reinforcing them. Yet, sensitive portrayals of blacks by whites also exist alongside them, as well as inspiring and successful careers by African American artists." Examples of works on display include a 1798 portrait of George Washington and his family by Edward Savage which omits the name the black figure in the corner behind Martha Washington's red velvet chair and the "ambiguous intentions" of Eastman Johnson's slave yard deception in the 1859 "Negro Life at the South."
*This exhibit is going on until April 2nd.
*Place: Babcock Galleries, 724 Fifth Ave. (between 56th and 57th Sts.) on the 11th floor.
*Info: Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday by appointment only. Visit http://www.babcockgalleries.com/ or call (212) 767-1852.

Fashion: My new addition....
So....my older bro was so gracious to me and bought me this new Guess coat. Mind you, I am not a huge fan of the line (except for the old school jeans w/ the triangle sign on the pocket)....
I must say that I was very impressed with this particular coat. The detail is baneeneez, I adore the ruffles in the back and the fit is amazing. Thanks again Serge!!!:)
