DEPLOYMENT MONOTONY...

Greetings,

Yes, it's been a minute (again). Such is life. So, I'm in Iraq and I'm doing okay. Not much going on where I'm at, which is good. I'm enrolled in college and working on staying productive during my shift. My job is to make sure that we have internet and secure and unsecure communications running at all times so when everything is working, my job is just monitoring it. A lot of down time. COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE!!!

I am majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems. I am taking 2 classes right now. I am also working on my business plans for my clothing lines and a Request For Proposal for a photo shoot that I need to do later on this year for my ad campaigns. I don't have any pictures of my clothes that are worth putting on my business websites (which are still in the works) so I definitely need some professional photos taken.

As for my Sisterlocks, I pretty much just braid and band them and wash them every week and leave them in the crinkly hairstyle. They are growing well and I still have my Nappylocks tool but I have only attempted to retighten some in the front (due to laziness and impatience). I really appreciate the patience that all of you who retighten both your own and other people's Sisterlocks (and all types of hair, really) have. I cannot do that for a living!!! My roots are definitely screaming at me so I need to take some of that down time that I have and dedicate it to my hair.

Here are some pictures of what I am working with right now:



Don't laugh!!!! The kissy face was for my fiance!!!! (Yes, I'm lazy and am recycling pictures!!)



Yes, I was also tired!!!! I just came off shift!!! ;)

These pics are just to show you the length of the locs thus far. I will post better pictures later when I can get someone to take them for me. ;)

What do you guys think????

SUMMER 2005: PHOTO SHOOT

Greetings!!!!

Here are some pics of my photo shoot that I did in the summer of 2005. I was still in the Marine Corps at that time and had just came back from being stationed in New Orleans for a year. Good thing I got back right before Hurricane Katrina. My old colleagues there said that the whole post had to get evacuated to Kansas City. The navy base that Marine Forces Reserves was on was located right in the middle of the French Quarter.

We had some good physical fitness training (like the Marines always do! It's definitely different than the Army and I miss that a lot!)






















































I was in top shape and had a good diet. I wanted to show that off and celebrate what it means to be natural so I did this photo shoot with one of my modeling buddies. He has gorgeous locks. They were between 5 and 7 years old at the time. We were both trying to build our portfolios throughout the summer and hooked up with a great photographer to do this shoot. His name is Hubert.























































I also did a lingerie shoot with Hubert and two other photographers (one of them being my son's father) at this photo shoot event where they brought a lot of up-and-coming models together with a lot of up-and-coming photographers and we all did shoots in this nice club for free.
















































It was a great opportunity to get free photos for both of our portfolios since we were all just starting out professionally.

Even though all of the pics that I take are tasteful, I will not post the lingerie pics because this is not the place for that. However, I will post a few that I have cropped so that you all can see how nice my hair looked. ;) I am also working on my website which is currently under construction so if you would like to see more of my modeling pics then you can go there. The link is on the right side under "Commercial Enterprises". My modeling website is Strong Black Modeling Group, LLC. You can also check out my other websites as well!
