THE POOL PLAYERS.
                   SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

DC, i’m serious…i like the blouse, and jacket.

and the crazy thing is DC, i wish i had a “school bus yellow one” in my closet(cashmere)…i love old school trends and fashions…i have soo much of my Mother’s old stuff, and i’m in heaven right now….man i got some shit, you’d never see again…

i truly believe in wearing the clothes, and not letting it wear you…i have a way of liking the craziest things…..and then making it hot. when i pick things up, i get the same reaction from my friends(a puzzled look), until i put it on. then everybody wants to get “one” too…

i’m a little weird, don’t mind me ;)

Lol I think we all are in our own way.

Wyltk on the real I had a silk shirt like that in high school, it was a mustard color with black accents, looked a lot like that Gordon Gartrell shirt from that Cosby Show episode that Denise tried to make for Theo. You couldn’t tell me ish when I had that shirt on lol.
