Curry(OOTD+WeekendRoundUp)Curls

I hope that everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend! I wasn’t able to be home with my family but of course I still felt the love. Sent a ComicBook Card off to my dad because well he the reason why Im such and AfroGeek anyway.  His comic book collection as a kid was borderline obsessive and well he was really into the Black Comic Heroes which was even more exciting to me, and well it still excites me today. I’m sad when I ask little Black kids about Black Comic Book characters and all I get is Storm from X-Men.

I am less than 10 days away from heading back to Tennessee and well I can’t say that I’ve packed much of anything.  I’ve put most of the items up in my apartment for sale, I’ve sold a few pieces but I need to sell much more!

I am so happy to be headed home and yet the fancy mix of emotions I am experiencing is getting on my nerves.

So this is just a round-up of my the weekends OOTD’s and whatever other little bits and piece of me I can find to throw in.

3 days until SunFest and my Little(Play) Brother and Mentee from grad school is coming in from “The Boot” to help me with the festival.  I went from having him live right around the corner when I was in Cali to him now being on the Gulf Coast and me on the East.  So its a mini reunion and work gig all smashed into one.

The heat is back after a few chilly days which means no more last minute OOTD changes.  Its always a goal of mine to step  up my pants game simply because I don’t like pants.  I love alot of the new trousers and peg leg style pants that Ive been seeing. The work well for us less hippy Queens. Today’s OOTD is hopefully a step in that direction, let me know your thoughts? And don’t forget to Love your Body today, flaws, fineness, and all. More details after the jump!

I have been searching for new Black authors, was in need of something fresh as Im afraid Ive cycled through all of my Octavia E. Butler books entirely too much. A Surinamese genius I know recommended the above.  At night I dream of an Africa that is mine, and at the same time altogether foreign, but still calling.  Next up is The Book of Not: A Sequel to Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangaremba which unfortunately is not on

iPad

The most awesome accessory ever. Patterns patterns everywhere trending for life!

I also got a beautiful Cowrie Shell Mudcloth Case from Threads of Change on Etsy. The plan was to make my own case and still is, I still like to support the independently clever, crafty, and artistic too! I am also attempting to step up my photography game…

The plan is to eventually take a photography class but in the meantime I am drawing off my own skills, actually reading the instruction manual to my Nikon, and expanding my knowledge about photography. Something about the nostalgia of capturing a photo, looking back remembering when, it does something to me… creates a permanent piece of joy, pain, and

love…
