Congratulations too my nice and God daughter Katie!... I will miss u and the fun times we had now your in The High of your life the playgrounds & Pizza have been forgotten along with me!.... The time flies so fast journey well and try too remember those who you will soon forget.... Bless big things happening this weekend soon come!...

Are we there yet!....Swim Urban (at Glen Island Harbour Club)

I want too remember you this way Today smiling sitting which you rarely did in real life!. I ran into someone who remembered you she said you spoke highly of me bless in my Moms passing my feelings are varied and mixed between love and distance. I had a Doctors appointment and was asked about my family history it hit me then how much of our identity our parents carry?...no calls can be made for various reasons too ask about recipes or missing socks or birth papers or car keys!!... MyMum had names for all of the animals that roamed through our backyard from "Peter" the squirrel and Sally the Raccoon and from time to time she would leave alittle something for them..... Yeah she was corny like that and so I turned out too be leaving alittle note or msg. on phones ,b/w pic postcards I've been told some were kept others discarded?...our relationships are plays acted out from where we come from no matter how stylish it may appear on the outside I will always be my mother son and someone's husband,father not ever certain of that..yet I remember sometimes this way you came before I too will live to forget....u bless......Mum happy belated bday 06/05

Forever ever!! Its barely coming up on a year yet I will remember you this way!..it was Easter my 1st foray into fashion and settling into our new house you did well even made me a landscaper among all the other things I've been or done so far in life!..... I can remember you a stoic fixture of black woman waiting too exhale while keeping me focused and aware of the many traps and pitfalls single black mothers dreadful for their suns couldn't show. you always said I was so slow and too damn fast!..don't drink don't do drugs and leave my damn car in the driveway!...its ok Mommy go back too sleep your home now I'm alright trust sssshhhh....... Im nobody's Negro! Aunt Hazel now 104 Mum and me!...somewhere in Ad Bronx circa 1974

Return too "The Classics" Out of struggle many things are born as well as lost given in tribute to whatever we're to become!... At times she held me. too a much greater standard than herself!...whatever I learned about fashion started from the ground up.Cleaning out fabric closets and sourcing trims,and hardware learning how to make basic patterns and setting up fabric libraries......yes progress has been made its been MadeInNYC!.. All wardrobe shown provided by Theo Courtney New York well made and a labor of Love.

Somewhere in Dumb near a bridge lost and truly found under a bridge among the many we must spiritually cross in this life tired cold thank goodness there is a #shakeshack. aha!!!

Not A Stylist!..... This picture is slightly distorted because I'm slighted distorted among other things I am and am not?... I grew up in a small village called the Bronx during the time of Disco my Mum drove a candyapple red cadalillac my sister's dad gave her I guess he thought it was cool she got fired not long after that.. Mum always told me my dreams were too big for my reality still I kept dreaming and infusing bits as much as possible into reality!...by the time I entered the Fashion Industry I was leaving a dream most had some difficulty accepting at times dully so since I've worked in a world of women.All competing vying for credibility at design meetings.....but I stayed the course swept mopped and cleaned the floors polished the silver and made sure car service picked her up on time a la "The Devil Wears Prada " still I get comments sometimes "you don't look like a stylist" ok well truth is I'm not its just an image slightly distorted too hide my real identity.

Some wounds are not meant too heal and be forgotten!... We all have hills and mountains rivers and Oceans too bridge and too bare!.... I wear my wounds they're apart of style along with the heart attack and stroke that followed... So don't forgive me if I speak in a manner or language you cannot quite clearly understand know that I love you and gave my right arm for You.... I've been too fast and too slow at love ha ha senior single bingo nights!!... Some of us readily try too forget the fire that wounds us Im too old and to funny looking to forget. Fashion is not my passion its Love!!...falling in it and being outside of its embrace so I design and the visions for her and the reality of what we lost in the fire we'll soon find in the ashes..... Burn as bright as you can and rock your wounds like you mean business . Blessing's

On any given Sunday Afternoon!...... We laugh share drink stare out over the city and take in the moment.... My life is nothing but a series of those moments no one will remember so I try not too forget you all!... Theo circa06 The capture Model Deanna Leigh @deonlpink @onemanagement. Photographer.

As a child I no desire to design clothing, I have always admired and enjoyed be around and in the company of women. as with most men too an exten!!...most of us Men don't enjoy shopping with women so what happened?...at some point during college I started working @bloomingdales on 59th St.& Lex and my life changed completely..... I watched all these beautiful people sell. life in a bottle or suits off rack with such excitement I my life would never be the same. from Bloomies I went onto later undergo management training and then too be placed in the MlO office downtown which became Jeffery's on 450 14th St. while there discovered Barneys NewYork and started too follow Ferre and Ventri and Valentino. I dreamt of have loft apartment with a freight elevator I could drive my car or motorcycle upto my apartment I had a wild imagination and a semi crazy blessed life.
