[kyungpom]

tell us your cheesy n nasty fantasies!!!!!!

omg well idk how cheesy or nasty these will be but here we go…(warning: bad grammar & punctuation, piss, blood and maybe other gross things under the cut so dont read if you’re squeamish or judgemental haha)

read these without a specific type of relationship in mind.

the cheese:

i always wonder what it would be like if i brought somebody like kyungsoo home. my extended family is very close and musically inclined and at family gatherings the men like to play music together, cook and drink. everyone’s very welcoming and chill with new people and the thought of him fitting in well with my fam feels good haha.

despite my fic interests i’m very domestic myself and i fantasize about the most boring things like splitting tasks. washing the dishes while he cooks, for example (i don’t like cooking nor having a pile of crusty dishes for later) and just talking about whatever while we’re doing that.

also this might sound so boring but i often imagine just sitting on the couch in silence doing our own thing. it sounds so detached like the whole “ppl dont talk anymore, they’re always on their phone >:\” but you don’t need to talk to have a good time. some people appreciate silence and feeling the comfort of knowing there’s somebody there. and i think he would like that too since he’s so quiet and he might have scripts to study, movies to watch and friends to text.

watching movies with him and talking about them and just talking about everything. i would want to talk to him so much and get to know him well ;-;

learning things together, learning from each other and just growing as people.

falling asleep to the sound of his voice, snuggling into the warmth of his body in the morning, smelling him, getting to kiss him and touch him randomly.

going back in time somehow and seeing little soo, watching him play, hugging him tight and hearing his baby voice.

making sure he never feels alone and has somebody who can help him do the things he can’t do by himself when he’s old, sick or has suffered an accident.

the nasty:

playing with his d when hes a wrinkly lil old man even if he cant get it up anymore, and if he can, riding him too (gotta think of his joints)

feeding mouth to mouth, like pushing food into my mouth with his tongue and sucking on it.

adding mysterious ingredients to my food when he cooks (spit & cum)

i’d like to watch/hear him pee and let him piss on me and maybe inside of me but i’d have to research that first lol i’m scared of imaginary me catching something.

fucking while i’m on my period then sucking his bloody cock (im laughign bc i just started watching santa clarita diet and imagined getting caught like this)

that’s all i can think of rn.

About New Orleans Multicultural Tourism Network #SoulofNola

The Beginning 

4 Winners: left to right: Drea Mari, Vegas Cola  Band, (Myself), Casme, & Dawn Richard

Baby, when I tell you 25th Essence Festival doesn’t owe me anything.

I had the pleasure of blogging and ‘journalizing’ the experience for @soulofNola New Orleans Music Showcase winners.

These ladies had the pleasure of performing in front of a sold out audience May 30th. Once the votes were tabulated, These 4,were on their way to 25th Essence Festival.

25th Essence Festival- ‘The Tea’

“If You Study Long, You Study Wrong“, they say…

It’s almost the exact same sentiment one would get if you had to question if you should or shouldn’t do Essence Festival & what events to do. At any point in your life, either you’ve been to Essence, or you haven’t. Essence Festival has something for every one. Every culture, every person, from every place.

Day 1: July 04 ESSENCE IN THE PARK

I started off July 04th epic. Why? well, this is ‘A First’ in the 25 years of Essence history, starting Essence Festival a day early and at the Louis Armstrong Congo Square Park. What better way to do it, than with the community? With an event ‘All’ can attend for FREE, I’d say Essence nailed what Essence truly stands for

I welcome you to ‘Essence In the Park’. This park is a historical landmark to New Orleans culture…Period. What better way to than today, to highlight the future of music from world renowned artist & DJ’s, as well as the future of good soulful music.

FIRST THINGS FIRST – WHAT TO WEAR? –

Just look around at the memories created and what other folks fashion statement was, on this 4th of July.

Please don’t be like this 1st timer…#me…I had on ‘whole’ jeans in a 103 degree index. (still smacks self on the head, as my sunburn of the day- felt like I was literally sitting in someone’s baked Mac n’ Cheese oven)

The opening ceremony was highlighted by Essence & Blessing of the City of Yes -New Orleans Mayor- LaToya Cantrell.

You can catch the full Travel Tea video at the end of the blog.

Next, the Stooges Brass Band hit the stage. 

As I’m talking with adventurists from all over the world, who do I hear? A familiar voice that makes you stop in your tracks & shake something…That “Stannndd Up & Get Crunk” Saints southern soul anthem… It’s none other than the International  ‘soul-stress’ Artist herself…Tonya Boyd Cannon. She is surely on her way to a Grammy.                                                                                                                                                     

Now rolling over to the DJ Stage, where we here the beat which is moving the crowd from their apple bottoms to their feet. The beat, the music, the culture is alive and well in the city today. Talk About Good Vibes all around from Stage 1 & Stage 2, from the vendors to the Adventurists, who travel near and far.

On To The Next Day…

July 06, 2019 Saturday Afternoon

Oh Yes, Tonight Is the Night. It’s Time To Slay…But First; Let’s Check Out:                   Essence Fashion House

  Let me the 1st to announce, in case you haven’t heard. This event is a vibe…But, isn’t the entire Essence event?

The Tea: 

If you’re a #Fashinista #FashionNova #FashionBlogger, this event is for you. 

I can admit I wasn’t fashionably prepared to attend this event, yet I wasn’t declining a last minute Blessing. The model Iman was in attendance and so many more. It was a packed house for sure.

I attended the event with my friends. We had the pleasure of listening to a Guru panelists of Fashionistas in the Industry, such as:

Candace Stewart/ PRADA                                                                  ��                                                    Sade Teyibo/ KERING                                                                                                                             Ivory Walker / NEIMAN MARCUS                                                                            MODERATOR: Tanisha Ford

This was truly a great talk hitting on topics such as, how people of color can enter the game of fashion & be great, not giving up on your journey, & more.

A powerful takeaway I learned from these panelists, with Ivory Walker’s personal sentiment is:

“Look at each individual, who may not have the exact experience to get a job, but has the tenacity, that hunger, that drive… give them a chance…”

Candace Stewart shared her personal journey, her struggle of getting where she is today. She had the drive and she never wavered.

The panelists all sound off & close the discussion agreeing that all it takes is for a person of Tenacity…A Purposeful Driven Individual to receive 1 ‘YES’ from the right person, for their lives to change forever.

Check Out the complete Runway experience & more, below in the Full Tube Video! Music silenced for copyrighting purposes.

It’s time for a half time…A Meal: All this ripping and running, our bodies depend on it. Luckily, we ate before Fashion House. I had the pleasure of introducing my friends to Pontilly Coffee- The home of the ‘NOLA-CHE’. 

You know I had to see my friend- Pastor Mel. He is truly a pillar in the community with his business who help those that are truly in need. 

You didn’t have to ask us twice, where our coins were going for Brunch…this definitely was the place. 

July 06, Saturday Evening

I had the honor of attending Essence Fest at the Mercedes Benz Superdome with #SoulofNola Executive Director & Board.

Tonight’s show was hosted by Loni Love herself, from The Real

The headliners were:

First Lady Michelle Obama with Interview Host Gayle King

H.E.R

Nas

Mary J. Blige 

& many many more, to name a few

It’s hard to take just 1 pivotal point from Michelle Obama’s Appearance tonight, as there were plenty, but here’s 2 resonates would be:

“Forgiveness is for you, it’s not for the other person…It’s never been enough for Barack & I to be ok, until we know our brothers and sisters out there are ok…”

On her Best Clap Back, she stated her all famous quote:

“When they go Low…, WE GO HIGH…”

I must say tonight, was truly filled with positive, cultural, inspirational-motivation.

On to the Next Day…
