Style Savvy!

Here's #4 and #5 guys, honestly we had a mix up during recording but though this was a good way to fix our mistake hahahah welcome to my blog! -has a welcome committee bring you some fancy tap water and raisins-


Anyway!

#5 A Blazer - Nothing flyer than a woman who knows how to rock a blazer and rock a blazer the right way.  I mean a blazer that is tailored and beautifully proportioned to your body! A blazer that you can wear during the day or evening!  There are so many blazers out there double-breasted, tuxedo style, boyfriend, even with shoulder pads (which surprisingly made a comeback).  A blazer can scream sexy cool and also business savvy!

#4 Freakum Dress - Ladies you know that one dress that when you zip the zipper up you know all heads will be turning?  Every dude wants to holla at you and buy you drink and every chick wants to strip you naked?  Yeah that one dress you know you can pull out and your body might be a 22 but looks like a 4 whenever you wear that dress!  Yeah that's your Freakum Dress ladies, you guys have that go-to dress that sends the I MEAN BUSINESS message! Beautiful and sexy....

CLAWD HA MERCY... NUFF SAID..pushes the chicks on the right and left down

The Freakum of Freakum Dresses!

Ladies...

Cloud 10 Presents... 26 Has Stricken LV

My National Negro League #Alphet I was sharp huh?

Big ole Precious sigh, the type that would blow your hairline back enough.  It feels like Roseanne has embodied 26 and decided to sit all on top of me! How did the time fly? Where did 26 come from??  I believe Father Time is actually Adam Sandler in the movie 'Click' and decided to PRESS Fast Forward on my life harder than Charlie Sheen controlling his IV drip filled with Methadone. 

Anyway 26 has decided to visit me and is here to stay until 27 forces me to dive head first into a pool of prunes, Geritol, Depends and Fixodent! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ok let me quit playing and talk to yall for real! I'm happy that I am even sitting here, in a durag (I'm on a struggle to attain some seasick inducing waves, please don't judge me severely) cape billowing, to type this little blog post to you guys!  I'm about to embark on the next stage in my life as I wrap up the last few weeks of my 2nd undergraduate degree.

I am in a beautiful relationship with an awesome woman, I have the greatest friends this side of the Tropic of Cancer and overall I'm in a good place.  I feel blessed and thankful for how far I've made it.  I hope to keep blogging, photographing and bringing you guys more V-log.  Hopefully I can locate some time to do everything I want too but be patient and time is ours!

So 26 I welcome you with not so open arms but I'm sure you hold some surprises for me...

Cloud 10's Think Tank (SOUND OFF) Confessions from a Strip.....Club

You Mad Huh?? -drops a single dollar-

Yes ladies and gents, an upstanding soldier of King Jesus (read: God is currently working on upgrading me still and he's not done as yet) like myself on occasion (read: once in a while) will patron a tooty bar here or there just to be some moral support to my homeys (read: because I can).  Yes, yes, yes you prudes!  My girlfriend was WELL AWARE of my whereabouts so before you hit 'Send' on that FB message, she KNOWS. #Bazinga

Anyway I just have a few observations, concerns, confessions and other random things that come to me as I type this recollections of my rendezvous on Saturday night to celebrate my homey Simone's 23rd bithday.  #Anywaydoe so we arrive at the club and find some seats, this was my first time at this particular establishment (Pigale's) which if you're familiar with Ottawa, is on the Gatineau side.  Let me tell you the schematics of Pigale's its two floors of debauchery with like 3 different stages and cameras showing what you're missing on the other floor so already my head was swiveling.

So we weren't feeling the poor man/underage club section downstairs so we made a beeline for where the real girls were at.. Upstairs! (not like I was excited or pressed or anything....) Once upstairs the swivel was on 360, some real Linda Blair shit!  I couldn't help but notice the amount of women flitting and jiggling back and forth.  Most of the clubs I've been to (sparingly of course) have had 10 girls max on the floor trying to coax (read: thirstily beg) patrons to contribute to their mutual funds, car note, rent (let's keep it 1 Hunnid, you're paying their bills like it or not).

At this point I spot about 3 bad bishes that I would consider making it rain some McDonald's coupons and nickels for (if I were single of course ^_^) this last sentence is further proof of #TheMonetaryStruggle I'm currently enduring.. Anyway the fact that it was only 3 girls who were on BAD BISH STATUS, this meant all the other girls who called themselves working someone's stage and pole. -PAUSE-

READ THE REST OF THE DEBAUCHERY BY CLICKING 'Read More'

Advice:   Please, please, please if you're working at a strip club with a Dunlap (belly dunlapped over your string bikini), have 4 poon juice smeared seats all the way ------>).  I guess some guys like that extra cushion, rolls and folds but me, I'm good.  The most you need to be stripping off is a piece of weave, maybe an earring and toe ring?

Oh, Oh, yall would not believe that sight that arrested my eyes, this was something Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator and R.Kelly would be ALL OVER (for different reasons of course).  Anyway standing beside me was this little bitty ass, pre-pubescent looking little girl in some too big 13" heels, no chest whatsoever or body that I can report.  Yup, I put that on the God of Shadrack, Meshach and Billy Goat that I just wanted to ask her to have a seat in one of those attached desk/chair seats.  That disturbed me deep down in my appendix man oh wait that was just gas... -poots-

Dear Skrippas, please remember that unless you're auditioning for Julliard or America's Best Dance Crew or the Strip Club Revival of Flashdance, keep those melodramatic, emo ass songs for your bedroom.  Noooooo we don't want to see you strip lazily to Bon Jovi or Queen.  There are way too many Purveyors of the Strip like Akinyele, Uncle Luke, Too Short, E-40, Lil Kim, Ludacris who have a wide array of appropriate rump-shaking songs for you to dance to.  Please watch this to see how it should be done HERE!

This leads me to reporting the girl who clearly had a problem with comprehension and song choice when she was twerking something serious to Keri Hilson's (a beacon of exemplary, fine womanhood btw -coughs) Pretty Girl Rock.  MAM?! WAIT WHAT? Isn't that song a tribute to female strength, empowerment and positive #SelfofSteam?

Keri Hilson had to know the TRUTH about the Bastardization of her song. 

Props to the girls who look like they took a pole dancing class or watched a video about the art seduction and how to work a stage and crowd.  The rest of yall doe, please call the ladies over there at Magic City to conduct a workshop/seminar/webcast something!  The fact that you resemble a giraffe in a tree while on a pole while being built like an ATM (next time you see an ATM envision it with some weave, a string bikini and heels).

All in all a very interesting night, with interesting sights, shout out to the strippers who claim they're only stripping to pay their way through school! Mam YOU LIE (c) Joe Wilson voice, but you make more than I see in 2 weeks so PROPS TO YOU!!

Cloud 10 LV Presents: Balloonification

I will come up with a more appropriate name later but this marks Evan's (my cousin's son) second photo shoot with me.  He was 1 during this shoot (click HERE) and now a year later we find him all grown up at 2 going onto 68 with a taste for Digestives, MSNBC and all sports EVERYTHING!! I came up with the concept of balloons because like children they are carefree and bounce idly along and reflect and exuberance that I was able to capture in the shots I chose.

Cloud 10 Status: The Boy She Met Online

Well I guess this mark's my big screen debut in all its .05 seconds glory!! -JERSEY SHORE FIST PUMP- Hahaha here is the trailer for 'The Boy She Met Online' which I shot my scenes for one day in December last year.  SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMEY SEKOU! Met him on set, we were disgruntled, non-unionized extras together he forwarded me the link!! If you squint you might see my leg in the bed as the doctor is talking to a patient..That patient is me and I die!  I guess you will have to see the movie to see me more hopefully... I need to do more movies its almost December again...

Anyway the synopsis goes!!

"When teenager CAMI WINTERS (Tracy Spiridakos) falls in love, she falls hard. Unbeknownst to her single mother TORI (Alexandra Paul), Cami has fallen in love with a boy named 'Jake' she's met on a social networking website. Although Cami believes Jakes a 23 year old college student, everything hes told her online is a lie.

JAKE MEYERS (Jon Cor) is actually a 23-year-old inmate finishing up an 18 month prison sentence for domestic assault on his ex-girlfriend. Having promised himself that upon his release he's going to do things the right way, Jake has begun trolling the internet looking for the perfect girl to help him turn his life around. By the time Jake comes clean with Cami, shes already on the hook—totally infatuated, she believes that she can help him turn his life around. Tori is not keen on her underage daughter dating a college guy. She and her cousin KENDRA (Thea Gill) discourage the relationship but only to push Cami further into Jakes arms.

Unfortunately for everyone, Jake's new and improved life upon release doesnt go as well as he planned. Because of his felony record, he cant get a job. To Jake's hoodlum friend EDGAR, Jake's an idiot for trying to go straight. Ultimately, Jake is sucked back into a life of criminal activity, and Cami is pulled in with him. When Edgars place is robbed, Jake and Edgar vow to get revenge on VINNY, the thug responsible. Cami witnesses Edgar murder Vinny during a fight and her life is forever changed. Deciding its time to enlist the help of her mother, Cami and Tori suddenly become targets of Edgar. Jake must decide whether to go against his lifelong friend and help Cami or let the girl he loves fall victim so that he and Edgar can stay out of prison..."

Cloud 10 Status: Jovi Photography

I am completely in awe at the finished product of these images that I did with my friend Jovi a couple weeks back here in Ottawa.  I mean I'm no model but wow the shots look really great.  I am humbled and honored that she approached me to help her expand her portfolio.  I always wanted an opportunity to step out from behind the lens and take some professional pictures.  I think this is the beginning of a new business relationship.  EXCELLENT work Jovi.

Cloud 10's Think Tank (SOUND OFF) The Case of the Ex (Sweetheart vs The Jerk)

I know we have been talking about this issue for a while now, this phenomenon of good guys finishing last.  Well me and my boy up and coming reggae singer/songwriter Conkarah have decided to dedicate a piece to explore this phenomenon.  Before I delve into the piece I would just like to state that I know that NOT EVERY GIRL IS LIKE THIS!! But there are a lot of girls who claim they are good girls that have no clue what to do with a 'good guy' once she gets him after all the hollering and posturing for one.  We shall break this phenomenon down and you can choose to either agree or disagree with us just know that we are not lying.  I have experienced this for myself, observed it in others and so has Conkarah.

I'm sure you have all heard it, seen it, experienced it, but can't understand it. I'm almost certain most girls can't even understand or explain it themselves right off the bat. Why do girls like bad boys?

The Jerk vs the Sweetheart.

Typical "sweetheart" good guy, whatever de rass yuh wah call it.  Alright so you go to a club and you see beautiful girls all over the place but there is one girl who is absolutely stunning and you would give your right testicle for a chance with her. You know you want her, but instead of approaching her you stand across the room pretty much melting just by looking at her.  But here's the thing, she doesn't know you exist and probably never will, the typical sweetheart is shy, and has a low self-esteem in the sense of being rejected, because in reality who wants to be rejected right?

It'll just fuck with your confidence royally but au contraire this is where the jerk comes in with his mentality being; I don't give a fuck about anyone but myself and satisfying myself. He is so fixated on himself and whats he wants that rejection is not in his vocabulary. Now here's the thing, having no fear of rejection is the ultimate ingredient for being a jerk, bad boy/ asshole etc; and with this you have the upperhand, so ok if u dont fear rejection then im guessing you are confident enough to go up to a girl and within 2 minutes if she hasnt splashed u in the face with her drink, she knows your intention.... to fuck... then its up to her to sen on the pum pum (pussy) or not... so lets say she doesnt... the jerk doesnt care... he'll probably GENUINELY think to himself that something is wrong with her, because who could pass up THIS right?

So what does he do? He moves on to the next girl.  Truth is, the girl who just said no probably subconsciously regrets not saying yes, because now she is realizing she never meant that much to him, this is all a maybe!  Ok so now lets say this girl who rejected him comes up to him later and takes him away from the other 13 girls he's chatting up and kind of "apologizes" through a lil flirting.  Lets just say hypothetically they go home and fuck... once.... twcie three times... then he leaves...shes like WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT? Kind of craving the attention especially if shes used to having guys all over her 24/7 this isnt right, fucking with her self esteem.  The worst part about this is the jerk is not even trying to do this to her it just comes naturally.

So lets skip the boring shit, basically now she is with the bad boy... and he disses her treats her like crap etc etc.  But hey she now has purpose she is going to be the one to change him to the sweetheart and BAM, the party begins.  The more she tries the more she fails, the less she tries the more she fails. So this JERK has her in his fingertips. If he hasnt already, he could have a foursome infront of her with her mom, best friend and twin sister and chances are, she'd be steaming mad but in 2 days she wouldd put it behind her and try to CHANGE him.  We all know how this beaten dead horse of a story turns out.


Moral of the Story
Girls (I stress GIRLS) in relationships with sweetguys and sweethearts get bored really easily DEPENDING on their maturity because if the guy is already sweet/ perfect then what is there to change? So she picks fights, argues over NOTHING, anything she can find to argue about to knd of cause issues in the relationship to kind of spark it up a bit.  Deep down inside shes wishing she is with a bad boy, she would never tell the sweet guy though she is too busy pretending and convincing herself that she wholeheartedly wants to embrace this new breed of man she is dating.  A guy who never cheats on her, does the sweet guy shit with her, takes her out, the guy whose fuck ups are pale in comparison to the guys she has dated.  the jerk vs. sweetheart.  I think a lot of this has to do with maturity honestly, its crazy when girls who are over 24 are still struggling with this phenomenon.  Most of these girls do 'mature' woman things but are still little girls in the head.  These are the women who are not thinking about the long-term.  They are stuck in the present and are searching for thrills.


If being a GOOD GUY means coming last in the rabbit race, the game of life is like the tortoise race for the GOOD GUY he's gonna finish on top..
