I Have a Crush…

I Have a Crush…

I have a crush. A completely random, one, too. Not only because it isn’t one I can or want to act on but because I’m not particularly attracted to this person. Like, he wears braids. In 2013.

But, every interview that I’ve ever read made me feel like I know him, like he’s someone that I’d like to know. Isn’t that funny? The power of words? I’m sure it says more about the author than the subject but, I’m a writer and words are sexy. So I guess that sort of translates to dude? And his braids?

You know what I mean?

Weird, huh?

Wearing: All J.Crew Factory Everything Except Marc Bower Faux Fur Capelet, Random Forever 21 Belt, Coach Saffiano North South Tote, Wolford Neon Tights, J.Crew Booties

So now, I think homeboy is cute.

Even with those braids.

The kicker for me was reading an interview that he did with the site, Mr. Porter. He was asked if he wanted to start a clothing line because he has such an interest in high fashion, and good taste, so naturally when you get a little fame people actually assume that you want to capitalize on that. He doesn’t, though.

“I don’t want to,” he said. “It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry, because I didn’t go to [fashion] school to learn about design, sketching and fabrics. I just enjoy it; I’m a consumer.”

I mean what?? You hear that Kanye?

He also doesn’t feel the need to drip in diamonds or spend money on a whole bunch of cars. Before you join me in a chorus of he’s peeeeerfect, just remember, he has braids. He also referred to his lady friends as “b*tches.” No good in my book.

But it’s just a shameless anonymous crush, though, right?

What do you think of A$AP Rocky? Have a crush on anyone weird? I also like Fitz when he isn’t on the brown juice. That’s random, too–I don’t know what’s going on. SMH. What about you?

      I know what you mean about TI, he does have a certain something about him.

    I appreciate his response. I wish artists would stay in their respected lanes. My motto is: “If you can’t sketch, sew, or design, don’t start a line.”

    Love the fur caplet. So chic.

    No crushes here, well maybe Denzel when he was younger! I agree with Erin B. celebrities get one avenue of success then think they can be all over the place selling or designing everything.

      When he was younger, Denzel was everything! I agree with you and Erin, that’s why I found it so refreshing he didn’t want to capitalize on that.

    Wait… so, are you saying your crush is ASAP Rocky? Because I just died! You are too cute!

    …words are very powerful…a man can sho’nuff talk his way into a woman’s heart…it happens all the time!

    …and ugh! Fitz is now officially on my shit list! 

    …and TI is my boo! Prison record and all…

    now, let me go google ASAP Rocky and get a good luck at his face. Lol

      Posted at 11:14h, 03 April

      Yes! I think he is so amusing! And you’re right about a man talking his way into a woman’s heart!

      Fitz, needs to get his life all the way together, I’m not here for this drunken fit he’s throwing.

      TI is… whew, Jesus. Go Tiney.

      Don’t judge when you see him! He’s cute isn’t just the braids!

      But GIRL, Pusha T used to be my BOO when the Clipse were hot. I also left out the fact that he’s a nasty so and so but that’s neither here nor there.

      Thanks, pretty!

    Hey Channing! 
    It’s been a while…  You’re looking lovely as always.
    As for my crushes… I have 3 to be exact. “Pookie” from the game! Whew, that man is FIONE!
    Channing Tatum, because well he’s the other white meat! 
    Last, but not least Omari Hardwick from the movie “Sparkle”
    Honey, I’m sitting over here blushing as I type. LOL

      Hi Sid!

      Thank you kindly, my dear, I hope you’ve been well. Channing Tatum is all kinds of EVERYTHING. I had to Google Omari but YAS, GIRL. LOL He would make me blush, too!

    Fun post. LOL @ your A$AP Rocky Crush. I think my weirdest crush is Drake, because even though everyone says he’s not that attractive and he WAS Jimmy on Degrassi, something about his voice and lyrics makes me melt no matter what. 

    • Channing in the City
      Posted at 00:08h, 20 April

      Thanks, boo! He’s not my crush anymore though since he doesn’t believe in the power of red lipstick. Drake looks slow. And I would prefer not to see him dance. But I could listen to him all day. The emo Drake, not the ‘thug’ Drake, though.
