Your boyfriend's favorite homegirl.
Hong Kong born, BRED N' DIMSUM FED,
but L.A. IS WHERE I be instead —
A little intro :
I'm a Hong Kong born and raised Indian girl, a lil azn yungin' who loved mtv.
I was mainly drawn to pop punk, R&B and hip hop music.
which made me start illegally downloading songs, interviews and music videos off Limewire
- Eventually, I began to dress like some of my music idols.
I was a cross over of either Avril Lavigne or 50 CENT.
On one hand, I would be stealing my dads ties and camo pants pretending to be a 'sk8er boi'.
on the other hand, I was walking around in SWEATBANDs, tank tops and BAGGY PANTS pretending to be a 'p.i.m.p'.
in my head I was the coolest kid around.
a child prodigy strutting down the hallways of my Indian household #fashionshow
— but this, as you can imagine, did not fly with my very traditional Asian parents.
IT MADE ME REALIZE WHAT I LOVED to do.
it started with a lil game of dress up, but I never let it go.
years later, still dreaming of being in my own music video,
and having my azn parents give up on me being a doctor or lawyer .... sorry Amma and papa!
I moved to Los Angeles.
I STYLE MYSELF. // self pro-claimed beauty guru // I AM MY OWN MUSE.
Oh yeah and I have bars too - so, imma put * lyricist * on here.
Music has always been a huge inspiration in all aspects of my life
fashion + beauty has always been my outlet of expressing who I am and exploring the different identities within myself.
My main influences stem from street style, urban + Eastern culture —
I enjoy anything WITH ATTITUDE, IDEAS THAT ARE DARING CHALLENGE THE NORM, 'out of the box' and innovative. I love testing my limits and creating new characters through dressing myself and others.
to name a few off my #inspo board:
sabyasatchi // melina matsoukas // migos // a.r.rahman // abida parveen //rihanna // raf simmons
asap rocky + asap ferg //oh yeah and of course, 50 cent and early 2000's Avril Lavigne, duh.
I love confidence and people who aren't afraid to love themselves.
In other words, I love extra-ness.
— Keep it beat.
(Talkin' bout the fit, the face & the flex.)
XOXO
