The Peacock Freak


The Peacock Freak
Vanity vs. Everything Beautiful
Me on my way to an Open House interview for MAC Cosmetics this is a picture of my presentation of my make up skills and less there of.....Self proclaimed amateur  to all my MUA's out there.....lol....Im good though !!!
I always like to switch it up a bit. You know, keep things interesting by exploring my creativity with different looks. I'm always inspired by the Peacock feathers I collect. The Peacock's feathers represent pride, and by extension, nobility and glory. Peacocks are also known to eat poisonous plants with no ill effects, making their feathers a symbol of incorruptibility and immortality. Personally, when entering a person(s) life my goal is to leave a positive lasting impression. 

We have a short time on this earth so memories are all we have, a photograph can be looked upon as vanity with out a story being told to back up it's true meaning. Vanity is self-centered and I'm far from that. However confident I stand firm in believing that beauty is a refection that vanity could never reflect. Beauty doesn't have to be defined because it speaks for itself. 

Beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, esp. the sight. Its a combination of qualities that pleases the intellect or moral sense. Its not just whats on the outside although I believe that presentation is everything.....lol 

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so the perception of beauty is subjective.  Based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. We all are beautiful. I'm just honored to share my beautiful moments, memories and ideas with all of you. Thank You :)


So, some may say I'm a little obsessed with peacocks. Obsession is a strong word so Id say Im more influenced by Birds feathers. I'm the photo above displays some of my home decor. I've incorporated the peacock tastefully  in my home as well as in my wardrobe.....lol  


These are a dozen Peacock feathers I got these in Chinatown in Washington DC to replace a dozen peacock feathers that got damaged from being given years ago on Valentines Day by my Fiance instead of roses I got Peacock Feathers . Nice touch huh?  They are about .75 per feather

Three of the original feathers I saved from Valentines day  Funerary 14, 2000. One of my treasures such a thoughtful gift.  
This plaque sits above my stylist work station I found it a a local dollar store Family Dollar for $6.
This was taken at my 31st Birthday Party this year  2012 at Flava @ Wa-Zo-Bia Restaurant and Lounge Washington DC. .


I wear this as a pin or hair clip I like to personalize my Outfits with Peacock flare every now and then.

These peacock  earnings were also gifted to me by a good friend Amie Seisay who is a talented jewelry artist check her out @ http://www.amsjewelry.com/ Please Note these particular earrings are not from AMS collection.
A feathered earnings can dress up a swim suit. Water doesn't damage the texture or color of the feather.
