This is Me.... Then.





So.... I've had this Blog ready to launch for a couple of days, however its taken me a while to realize what my first post should be about. I knew some type of introduction was necessary but I didn't know exactly what approach to take. So after numerous attempts which all ended with an excessive tapping of the backspace key I decided to just remain myself. I hope you like it...

Now that we have gotten that out of the way let me briefly introduce to you. The names Jameson... often referred to as Jame (Its really Jamie, But I like to keep things a little funky) by my friends. Since I have been young I have been obsessed with every form of Art. Whether it be Fashion, Entertainment, Music, Imagery it all has been so influential in the person that I have become today and because of that I will forever be grateful to the arts.

I grew up in a very small town by the name of Emporia, Va (The Black Hole). Many people know it as the little town off Interstate 95 where you are bound to catch a speeding ticket. But to my best friends and I it was A town where anything not ordinary was frowned upon.

I attended Virginia Commonwealth University and was so excited to leave home. I always knew I wanted to attend VCU, when I was in HS my friends and I would always visit the Fashion Shows, Step Shows, Homecoming Concerts and of course any party a 16 yr old could get into. I knew this University would be where I would feel free to express myself, and most importantly break away from the small, narrow minded box my hometown tried to make everyone fit in... And it truly was. I was able to grow not only academically but spiritually, emotionally, and morally. I met some of the most incredible people here and they have been added onto the list of my already existent and fruitful relationships.

Okay Okay Okay... I'm talking your head off. Let me give you the Cliff notes version of my life;

1. Grew up in a small country town
2. Had the best friends growing up a guy could ask for
3. Got introduced to Fashion at a very young age
4. Obsessed with Beyonce, Britney, Brandy, and Mel B all while growing up (kinda still is)
5. Found my love for fashion in the 6th Grade
6. Actually started looking fashionable in about the 11th grade
7. Moved to Richmond and Started VCU majoring in Public Relations
8. Pledged Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Theta "Death" Rho chapter
9. Began Modeling
10. Became interested in Styling and Photography
11. Graduated.
12. Working FT until I can make my move to NY (The Ultimate Fashion Lovers Dream)
13. Began a Blog...

So... that's me in a nutshell. You can love me or You can Hate me but 9 out 10 times youll will think my outfits is undeniably cute. (just kidding)

Make yourself and home... Welcome to The nouveau noir. (The New Black)

Ciao.
