Saturday my Mum, Sister and I headed off for a fun day at the Fat Girl Flea Market in NYC. I had attended a previous year, but for my familia this was their first time. Of course the place was a PACKED, so I unfortunately didn't get to take any photos while inside. I know, "BOOOOOO!!" :(
But we did manage to take some pictures outside of the venue (Held at the LGBT Center here in NYC), after we had shopped 'til we dropped!
Here are the bags of items my Mum and Sis bought!
The bags on the left belong to yours truly! (Yeah, I went crazy! LOL)
My Sister and I, chilling outside of The Center with our bags. I'm wearing the results of my first ever Bantu knot-out! It came out pretty well for a first try, though I am kicking myself for not taking a better picture...
... especially since I made a point to take a picture of my manicure for the week! LMAO This is OPI's Black Shatter polish on top of China Glaze's "For Audrey"... Love Love LOVE the combination!!!
Here's Mizz Lennid, my Mama... looking lovely! She bought the cutest knit poncho from the Flea Market - I have to take a picture of her rocking it!
My sister won "Score of the Day" by getting an $80 SUEDE jacket (With the Tags still on!!!) for TEN BUCKS!!!!!
All-in-all... it was a great day of shopping. If you're curious as to what I managed to get my (delightfully manicured) hands on, be sure to check out the Miss Moon's Musings YouTube Channel this week for my video about my FGFM haul, including these gorgeous Pink Fat Girl Flea Market shopping bags, modeled by the ladies below
I also managed to pick up a bag to give away to one lucky reader!!! To enter, you must be a follower of Miss Moon's Musings (On Blogger or Networked Blogs) and send me an email with your name and shipping address (US Applicants only at this time). I will announce the winner in my Haul Video sometime this week! Best of Luck!!
Happy Monday, y'all!! What better way to start the week with a bit of Music Therapy that inspires all of us to embrace our true natural beauty? Here's a song from Dead Prez reminding us all that it's the beauty within that really matters.
Dedicated, not to America's Top Model...
But to the natural girls right next door
How they say in avatar...?
I see you.
This hollywood world so pretentious
Every other girl got a perm or extensions.
But you dont even really wear lipstick
Still your beauty is a natural mystic.
Indigenous strong cheek bones from your lineage
Not what the main stream image is,
Natural hair is your heritage,
But to see it without chemicals is rare as the pyramids.
I was coming from the gym again
Bumping 2Pac never call you bitch again.
She crossed the street, melanin glistenin.
Felt the energy, something about you so interestin.
The prototype Eve from Genesis.
Ghetto empress Nefertiti resemblance.
So sweet, so street, and genuine
Real black girl I salute your existance.
I could see us just kickin it.
Buildin an intimate friendship more than just hittin it.
Down to earth like greens and corn bread.
She dont need no weaves or contacts.
Not judging other girls that got that,
Im just sayin you the truth, never doubt that...
Cuz you got that.
Beauty's within, not just on the surface.
The skin that your in,
You're already perfect.
They got nothing on you baby.
Nothin on you baby
Beautiful girls come in all types of flavors.
When you love yourself, its always gon be haters.
They got nothin on you baby
Just keep doin you baby.
This is going out to my African queen
Dark skin, light skin, everything between
Lookin so good when you step up on the scene
Smelling so sweet, so fresh, and so clean
Even though we dont see you on the flat screen
Aint no doubt about what you got in them genes
I dont mean denim its your family tree
Yea its all about red, black, and that green
For Chianisa, and Falina, and for all the pretty little girls
Goin out to my Mama, my favorite woman
And for all the women in the world
No they dont love you on the radio
And they try to play you in the video
But you so beautiful and natural....oh...ooh..
Beauty's within, not just on the surface.
The skin that your in,
You're already perfect.
They got nothing on you baby.
Nothin on you baby
Beautiful girls come in all types of flavors.
When you love yourself, its always gon be haters.
They got nothin on you baby
Just keep doin you baby.
It's the very first day of May, and I always get super excited about this: the weather here in NYC gets a little warmer, and we finally embrace a more Spring-like environment.
Inspired by many many Bloggers who have incorporated Silent Sundays into their Blog postings (Most notably, Brittany from Clumps of Mascara), I thought it might be fun to incorporate such postings into Miss Moon's Musings for the month of May.
I love finding inspirational quotes and food for thought each week for my "Best Blessed" series of posts, and I wouldn't want to not do that for a month. Hence, Semi-Silent Sundays! LOL
The next few weeks in May, each Sunday will have a picture I've taken myself, accompanied with an inspirational quote. I hope you all will enjoy!
“ Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.”
My name is Audrey. I have been called many, many things. My Pirate Sistahs dubbed me Pirate Yemaya Chalice Moon, Mother of the Secret Realm (or Yemmy for short), which I remixed P-Diddy style into Miss Moon the Brooklyn Geechee. This blog is basically all about me and my life. I call it the rantings, ramblings and revelations of your average Brooklyn Geechee.
I have a lot of interests, and I admittedly get a bit dorky about them. So this blog will be about music, movies, politics, tv, getting healthy, and as Lisa Jones dubbed her book Bulletproof Diva (a must read!)... tales of race, sex, and hair.
I hope you like it. And if not, I welcome constructive criticism.
My only rule is be nice or leave.
