Now it’s my turn to wish MY BESTEST CO-BLOGGER and friend-in-contradictions a happy happy birthday. Stacy and I bonded over many things, not least our seeming contradictions; citizens of the world with hearts in Guyana, a passion for humanity and a profession in development, a closeted fascination with American reality shows (like, all of them), a love of Dancehall, Popcaan and Damian Marley, an obsession with fashion, colour, print and texture, a longing for balance, health and a life lived consciously and, our ability to talk for hours (and hours and hours) about all these things and everything else. But Stacy is so much more than what we share; she is an amazing cook – ridiculously amazing, has fabulous taste, can salsa the sh*t outta ya, has every Italian Vogue EVER (thanks Paddy!), she’s a go-getter (and BOSSY as hell), she’s creative and works tirelessly (and endlessly) carving out her career. Basically I should be insanely jealous but I’m just extremely proud of this beautiful natural-haired friend of mine who is making so many wonderful things happen in her life. To many more years of laughter, debate, fashion, family and all that’s in between! <3 ya! xx
