#ThrowbackThursday — LEAP OF FAITH ★ Back when I had blond hair and used to always jump for my “What I Wore” photos. The reason why is because anybody can stand and take a good picture but not a lot can jump and take a good picture. I want to challenge myself and not bore my viewers! ★ (at WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GENETICBOI)

#ThrowbackThursday — I was recently interviewed by The FilAm (@theFilAmNet) about fashion, I noted that Fashion is meaningless to me, but Style is everything. When you don’t have money, when you don’t have the luxury of buying things, what do you do? You become resourceful. You do it yourself, you craft your personal taste. You find it on the street, you make something out of it, it becomes fashionable. It becomes your style. (Taken with Instagram at WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GENETICBOI)
