Birthday cake Cake CAKE CAKE…
Today, I turned 35 years old. I am both excited and scared at the same time. This is a big day for me, because this is the turning point. Either I’ll choose to keep on this same road that I am currently on and take the time to Dream a bit more, OR I’ll choose to go ahead and DO a lot more. I know. I know. This sounds truly un-Virgo like of me, you know, to actually take the time to dream, but if you know anything about Virgos then you know that we are the ultimate thinkers, as well as, consumate worriers.
Having said that, I think I’ll go with the latter, and DO SOMETHING!!! Besides, I’ve already taken the first step by getting back UPONFLYY dot com!
There’s nothing like a little birthday gift, and we all love a little trinket, so I’ll start by sharing a few of my favorite things.
First up, is Fancy Footwork. You’ll never catch me wearing flats, and you definitely won’t see me rocking a pair of Ugg boots. HOWEVER, upon seeing these, I may have to seriously reconsider…

And you know what, I think this Tadashi Shoji number just might do the trick…
I know it’s rainy outside, but believe me, my fabulous gown will be safe because I’ll be walking under my um-ber-rella, ella ella HEY!!! And I’ve found this exquisite little one at Bergdorf Goodman, of all places…

Now, you know music is the soundtrack to my life, so my Birthday just wouldn’t be complete without some FLYYtunes!!! And since NAS is a fellow Virgo, and his new CD, Life Is Good, is on point like Stacey Adams, I’m going to have to watch his new video BYE Baby…
Ladies, for a little eye candy, check out Aaron Hall in the background. Still sporting his cane and suit, and still looking good as ever!
Listed above, are just a few things that I’d just love to have for my 35th birthday, but the one thing that I wanted most of all, ironically, is the exact thing that I’m sitting here doing right this minute, and that is writing this post!!! I’ve been away for a few months styling several photo shoots, building my brand, and working on a few things that I’ll tell you about later, but now that things have slowed down a bit: I’M BACK…
We’ll still talk each week, but I’ll post everything here on this page, that way, you’ll have an easier time accessing it. You know the routine: Luxury, Lyrics, and the Pursuit of FLYYness…
Oh yeah, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye…
Saying Goodbye is hard in and of itself, but bidding the Final Farewell to a Legend. Simply Unthinkable…On Febraury 11, 2012, esteemed singer Whitney Houston passed away. And while this week’s edition of UpOnFlyy.com was to primarily focus on Valentine’s Day, I just had to have my own tribute to the late songstress.
Now, one thing that is totally undeniable about Whitney Houston is her gift of singing. I mean she will shut the whole show down with her vocal abilities! Remember that 1991 Super Bowl performance??? That rendition of the National Anthem still ranks as one of the best renditions EVER!!!
We are all saddened by this significant loss, so much so that LL Cool J opened the 54th Annual Grammy Awards by stating that “We’ve had a death in our family…So, at least for me, the only thing that feels right is to begin with a prayer for a woman who we loved, for our fallen sister – Whitney Houston.” Jennifer Hudson sang “I Will Always Love You” in tribute.
Needless to say Whitney Houston’s talent truly slaays me, and I’m deeply saddened to see her gone. Waayyy to soon! Please click on the Things That Slaay Me tab to view my tribute to Whitney Houston…
I also managed to write a few pages on Valentine’s Day. There’s a very sexy song from another HUGE and talented singer: Chaka Khan. To see her video and hear her serenade you, please click the flyyTunes tab.
Red Skinny Jeans are all the rave, but lots of folks ask me just how they are supposed to be worn. Click the Pint-Sized Supermodels tab to see ideas on the trend for your little ones!
Last week, I listed several ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts that cost less than $100. This week, I’m back again with a few new ones still listed at the same price point. So click the In The Bagg tab to see the new stuff!
Finally, I found a hot new service that travels to your home. I like it because we all like to entertain, but I never thought to hire a service…of this type! Check out the Flyy In the City tab to see just what I’m talking about…
