Things seem to be falling into place lately. Like its suppose to happen this way. Do you guys ever feel that way? I feel like I can smile for once lately, I'm doing things that ive alays wanted to do.. but I was too scared to do. I have a fear of failure.When you work work work hard you will get good results.

Its getting so cold...I hate it! I dont do winters well. I hermit like a little bear.

I bought a car a few days ago,im so excited,driving in new york and the city gives me a headache though. But It's def going to make life easier.I plan on keeping my whole heel collection in my trunk,because ya never know which pair you need,maybe a unicorn horn on the hood. haha we'll see.

Ive been getting alot of good feedback from putting up my services for styling shoots now!

Ive been working on this song that has the sickest beat. Ive been having the worst time writing to it htough its been about 3 weeks. I'll get it htough. I actually made the beat to this song so I'm very excited about it.

I STILL have my ear problem..ugh.. so its still made singing a challenge right now. :( Crazy Baby will be available on ITUNES in a few weeks. So please keep buying songs you guys! its really helping me out.

I also wanted to say thank you to all my close friens who have helped me with everything..with my video. Everyone i know has really pitched in one way or another. Thank you guys.

I cant wait for the performance ..the finale of the video.. I'm really nervous though i'll be real. But hey what do I have to lose...you only live once! Don't you guys forget that. Dont be scared to live your dreams and make drastic changes in your life.

I havnt been able to hear out of my right ear for almost 3-4 months now.Im going to have to go to the ENT specialist this week. I hope they can help.

Anyways I hope I get better because this weekend I'm starting to film my first music video..Its all out door locations for 3 days in the cold straight..perfect.

A few days ago I got to see an old friend was nice to catch up..fix out differences and try and regain a friendship.

We had a fun time going out to eat than shooting for new york couture. I love cassies clothes.. her new stuff is just amazing! I love everything. We started the shoot at about 9 and it went till about 2am..I got home at 4am.. Was draining.. but I hope the pictures are worth this. I think I got sick from this night..

kristen did the hair.. I wanted colored balls and plate like hair. She always does such a good job with making shapes..

getting ready..

The theme of the night was balls..big balls little balls..hairy balls. haha

Than I had a bright idea to add snow! snow balls! thanks kristen for being the snow thrower

VMA wrap up..

raquelreed — 2009-09-13T20:35:00Z

I just finished watching the VMA's,and it was def the weirdest award show I've ever seen. I cried at micheal jackson's tribute when his sister came out with in the start of the show. I really wish katy perry sang more but her outfit was gorg! I liked lady gaga'a performance,I think you really have to be a true artist to understand her shows and her message in them. Her voice was very good. And I too am a tranny at heart so I appreciated the "this goes out to god and the gay's" work it out girl. I loved how many costume changes she had but I was not a fan of the eskimo looking one I have to say:/ I draw the line somewhere haha. Glad she won best new artist though,she's opening doors for us weird girls.

Good to know dreams are possible.

I never liked kanye and this made me feel even deeper dislike towards him.It was exactly like him crushing a kitten what he did to taylor swift. I dont understand why you would do that to yourself and your career?

I'm also confused why lil mama came out at the end of the performance with jay z and alicia? did anyone else notice that?

My favorite performance was pink,because singing upside down and swinging is not as easy as it looks! plus im a fan of pasties!hehe

What were your takes on the vma's this year?

* The Fast Lane and Key Largo +

raquelreed — 2009-08-30T12:57:00Z

Today i put up my first two songs "Key Largo" and "fast Lane."I have to admit I am very nervous for the response,this is something so new for me..i didn't realize how nerve wrecking it would be to put out music. I really worked so hard to get these completed to put out.I also still have this damn ear infection so recording was definitely a challenge.Ive been really down lately,and music has really proven to be such a good release for me. It's my getaway it almost feels like.

Im now almost finished with "Crazy Baby" this is definitely my favorite song so far. Writing to it has been a little tough, but I want it to be perfect.Please take a listen to my songs here:

Things have been going good, I hope I will have a fun summer.. I've been working really hard towards becoming exactly where I want to be in my life. I am almost finished with my new place. i need to find a good area rug.I have mac update this week at pro. I love going there I always see old friends and learn about new good products coming out.. I get inspired..black lipstick and black lipgloss coming out in september i heard,amazing!

I wanna add another color in my hair.. I wanna do it before I have my Dr. Sketchy's drawing school session in august and before I go to La. Maybe yellow.. It's the color of the moment if you havn't noticed haha.But should I put it in my bangs? or half? What do you guys think?

I went searching for one of those floor length dresses for summer.. no luck they were all too big in 6 different stores! ugh.. Anyone know any good places online?Are you guys in to them?

My first single "The fast lane" is almost done we just need to master it now. I'm learning so much about the process of what it takes to make a song right now,im really enjoying it.We are starting my second single this week. I never thought i could come up with a melody or a hook, I think It's something I never knew I could do. Feels very empowering! Singing is what I always wanted to do, I'm so excited to have this be a huge part of my life now.

I ordered a mini laptop today.. i'm excited. Its going to make traveling with it so much easier.

I'm planning a trip to LA august 15th-19th. Seeing my mom,shooting with michelle star,debbie,and monique Antoinette,and maybe sabina kelly, i love her! one of the best models def.Getting a latex circus themed suit made to take, I cant wait for that!
