It's been a while . .

Alright , so I'm sorry that it's been a while but a lot have things have been coming up between everybody's personal lives and all of the Fly By Nature business. I was sick for over a week and was unable to talk, go to work, go to school, or frankly do anything but sleep. Juston has been busy working on his upcoming performance with Bang No More, and Kentrell's been working on his newly found photography company.

As for Fly By Nature, we had a meeting this past Sunday about our upcoming runway show. A close friend of ours Robert Green, a very talented and accomplished entrepreneur, has offered to help us choreograph the three segments that we were graciously given. Trust me, it's going to be hot.

At the moment, Juston and I are in the library working on lists of all our models and their specific outfits, segments, and dates that they can be with us. What are we listening to? Taking Flight, Juston's mix-tape that I already know all they lyrics to. (: I've been here through the writing and recording process, and I can honestly say that this tape is going to be good. Keep on the look out for it!

Oικογένεια

In case you all haven't noticed yet, everyone in Fly By Nature are really close friends. No matter where we're from (I'm Greek and the Greek word for family is οικογένεια - - hence the title of the entry) or how long we've known each other or who we've been with or what we look like, we all love each other and support each other.

Juston Alford is always there for me, no matter what I need. When I'm weak, this boy is my rock. Ever since I met him, I've loved him to pieces. He takes such good care of me and I don't know what I would do without him. Through my recent break up, family drama, and other stressful situations; Juston has always known exactly what to say to cheer me up. He'll always be my baby boy. <3

Kentrell Zeigler is the best guy in the whole world. He's always there to help a friend in need. Whether you need markers, mangoes, or someone to be a ninja with; the boy is always there right when you need him. No matter what, he always sees the silver lining in a situation. (something that I really struggle with) And I can't forget, if I ever need a badminton partner, Kentrell is always there. <3

Success

Okay, so we aren't successful yet, but we're about to be. We finally set the date for our photo shoot at Shelly Lake and we have our first official runway show set for June. Soon, Kentrell and I will be busy as hellllll teaching all of our models how to walk and not look sick while on the runway. The last thing I want is people representing me looking like a dead beaver in front of all kinds of modeling recruiters.

Juston and I are almost done with our inspired designs for the shoot and ready to begin working on our segments for the runway. (and maybe some of our own designs will be included . . .?)

Also, our facebook group is really an attitude boost for us. Over 200 likes in one day? That just goes to show how fast word spreads when something hott is going down.
