"Miami, DC prefer versace..."- Biggie Smalls

Although I caught a mean cold, I harbor no hatred for NYC. Lungs healed, I'd like to show my good will for NY by prefacing my MIA, DC recap with the last few unpublished photos from Manhattan. ;)

Doesn't she remind you of a Hype Williams video circa 1997? All that's missing is the ring of lights reflecting around her iris. I love the rough and girlie look. Construction boots with boyfriend jeans and exposed red seams all wrapped up in a bubble coat--you'd almost cast this young lady into the no-girls allowed club, but then...

...a rhinestone pink and white rose headband and pearl earrings!  It's as contradictory as  straight, blunt cut bangs in the front and waves in the back. Beautiful, unique and undeniably feminine.
