Nhia-Nicole | Up & Coming Fashion Designer

Aire | La Petite Princesse

Nhia-Nicole, my little sister is fourteen years old & a freshman at High School of Fashion Industries on the West Side.

Just chasing after her dreams on a prolific scale like any & all Goddess-Princesses should do. Whilst draping herself in a gold-beaded scarf, of course!"Kuya*! This girl in my class told me that I reminded her of Gossip Girl!"
Me : That's cos you young & fabulous, girl! HAAAYYYYY!!!!!

*Kuya directly translates to 'older brother' in Tagalog

My University Is A Castle

Aire | City University of New York Hunter College Modest Elite

My school appears as if a rundown castle, left abandoned-- as if its architectural existence is one that time has long forgotten. However, it now at present serves as a safe haven headquarters of sorts homebase institute of higher learning for the young & gifted. A castle home away from castle homes for all runaway warrior-princesses & self-exiled knight-princes.

Tucked, hidden neatly away from any prying outsiders within the otherwise worldly unknown Manhattan's Murray Hill district & niched somewhat in Manhattan Isles' Upper-East quadrant.

Princess Darina Contemplation

Aire | In Reverie

Darina is Hunter's resident European Princess foreign exchange student studying an Atlantic Ocean abroad from her family's illustrious kingdom.
I loved how the front of her cardigan would flow with the wind.Furthermore, if only you could have seen how orchestrally her gorgeous hair danced beautifully in the wind's song.

Princess Rosado

Aire | The Youngest Princess Sister

I saw Princess Rosado quietly reading a book while donning Princess braids!

Shoot!

Seriously? I can't think of any other hairstyle that resonates Princess like this one does.

Although, I am a devout fan of the braids worn as a headband.
I have now dubbed Sienna Miller's braid style as : The Braided Crown & Princess Rosado's hairstyle as The Twin Bridges Braid.

However, I feel that The Braided Crown is suitable for the oldest Princess sister, or even the Queen, herself & that The Twin Bridges for some reason in my heart & mind seems best suited for the younger set.

Pirate Captain Gypsy Princess Siren Whirlpool

Aire | Vamp Seductress Conqueror ExtraordinaireOh my gosh. During the whole class, I was day-dreaming about Sabrina standing proud atop the front helm of her worldly feared pirate ship. So when I asked her if I could take her picture & in her compliance, without hesitation posed in all her defiance like so before me... needless to say it unraveled my mind's eye.

It's like as if she already know about the daydreams I was having of her straight pillaging without remorse countries inhabited by weaklings who bode little to no opposition to her unforgiving might without mercy.She's so punk rockabilly, I love it! Especially with the cat's eye vision glasses & the safety pin for an earring.

My God -Brother Ryan is on the phone with me as I edit & write these new updates and he totally just reminded me and put me on the following iconic poster which he said Princess Siren Whirlpool definitively reminded him of:

Princess Calmleaf of The Hidden Forest

Aire | Insightful Star-Gazing Gypsy

Emily, also in my Children's Literature class, appears quiet yet regal.

She was sitting to the left of Princess Diamond Pearl.

The World Travelling | Princess Diamond Pearl

Aire | The Traditional Princess

Nikki to me is the perfect representation of a traditional Princess. She always walks into our Children's Literature class and greets my wave "Hello!" with a bright smile and her honest eyes. I love how she always wears a beautiful mixture of pearl & diamond earrings on both ears.She's a jetsetter fully-equipped with her morning's supply of freshly brewed coffee.I especially took notice and loved her toothbrush hanging precariously from her over-sized travel pack which also doubles as her schoolbag. Which to me means that she is always traveling wherever the wind blows & her heart too, shall follow. Nikki is very whimsical in everything that she does and she's honestly so very kindhearted that if I hear of anyone messing with her, I would just straight obliterate them so that their very atomic structure is erased from this, any & all alternative dimensional planes. Basically, I would, in my God-Prince power, erase them from all existence.

Antonia; My First Love

Aire | Silly, Quaint, Quirky, Comfortable

This is Antonia, my first ever real girlfriend. She has always been very childish & young to the core of her golden heart. She is presently attending graduate school at The American Museum of Natural History and was only 1 of the 5 students (out of thousands!) accepted into the rare, academically intensive, highly coveted program. Antonia is definitely among one of the most intelligent people that I know & acknowledge to be so fortunate to have in my life.

I feel that it is always an uplifting, warm feeling to see your first love & high school sweetheart doing well for herself.I love how when Sam first entered the room & saw me, she exclaimed, "Ceasar's already here!?! Ceasar!! I go on NYC | Aire every single day! First I check FaceBook and then I check MySpace and then I go on NYC| Aire!"

Antonia chimed in with, "Really?! Me too! But first I check Craigslist then I check Facebook and Gmail and then I go on your blog!" This is Antonia's first ever apartment which is in Astoria, Queens-- her hometown where she's been born & raised. I'm so happy for her because she's finally raking in the mad dough that she can now support herself independently without aid from her parents. I am at that age where most of my friends are now living like this while I am still at home. I am by no means insulting myself here, but I definitely feel so proud of all of my friends & family whenever they flee the nest-- able, capable and very well willing.I haven't seen Antonia in such a long time & I was very surprised to discover that she had still kept the postcard of the dog (far right) that I had given to her as a little surprise of a present back when she was 17 and I was 18. We had dated for a little bit over a year & 1/2 and I still remember our anniversary date. It was 03/03/03.I love how Samantha, Antonia's childhood best friend & my friend as well, asked me , "So, Ceasar.. when are you gonna put me & Antonia on NYC | Aire?!?!?!"

I laughed & replied, "Oh, I will, babe. Don't worry!"Embarking outdoors for a cigarette break.

Anna

Aire | Arrogantly Superior & Disdainful Aristocratic Nobility

This woman literally blew me away with her sheer presence & dominating aire. It was especially windy that night as you can tell from her flowing skirt. Wow. Her entire outfit was lightweight & airy, perfect for the dramatic effect.

I felt as if Anna had teleported from Narnia or Middle-Earth, which was the setting for Lord of the Rings. I picture her as an important relative to a high ranking royal family that resides in an agriculturally self-independent rural kingdom.

P.S.
The best part is-- I didn't even request for her to pose like this!
She was posing exactly how she is pictured now all through her own accord.
After introducing myself, I asked her what she was doing & she replied nonchalantly,
"Just waiting for a friend..."

"Hello, Stranger."

Aire | ENTER SCENE : Traditionally Tall, Mysterious Jetsetting Beauty

The best part to me is knowing that she is either dressed for the airport like this for her departure-- or that she had just arrived fresh from her flight dressed-to-the-nines.

To define her simply with but a single word?

Class.

P.S.
The Black Cloak/Shawl draped over her back & shoulders? *sigh* She's such a perfect, casual, young sophisticate.

Becca
1-904-***-****
Fri Sep 19, 9:21 pm
0m 47s

Becca & I haven't spoken on the phone for quite some time, perhaps even over a year. But that's just fine because that has just always been the way it simply is between us. But during our 47 second conversation. Not even a minute! My heart was surged & invaded by the great love I feel for her.

Becca *SUPREME PARTY BEASTMODE OPTIMISM!* - 'AY, BABY!!!! (With ULTRA LOUD punk rock music BLARING in the background)
Ceasar *laughs* - What's up, girl?
Becca - I am drinkin' 'n drivin' 'n smokin' a cigarette so it's really hard for me to talk on the phone right now.
Ceasar - Okay, babe. We'll talk later then.
Becca - Yah! LOVE YOU! November 2006 - A New Found Glory, Cartel, Hit the Lights @ House of Blues, Orlando, FloridaSummer 2007 - House Party @ 5 Points, JacksonvilleObviously these two wildhearts have been best friends since they were just babies.When I found out that Becca's favorite movie was Top Gun, for some strange reason-- just knowing that simple fact of trivia really slayed me because I thought to myself then, "Wow. That just makes a whole lot of sense & I really DON'T know why?!"She's also so bizarrely out-of-her mind insane in the best way possible. & The scariest thing is, Lauren is in every way the exact perfect equivalence in their shared all ying, no yang-- reckless, untamed, uncensored, unbridled wild entirely all sex, love & rock 'n roll lifestyle.

Otakus Unite!

Aire | Unapologetically, Unabashedly Wearing His Dork On His Sleeve

John here is representing for all japanese anime/manga dweebs like myself by rocking a DEATHNOTE tee.
I would especially like to see a girl wear her dork on her sleeve whatever it may be. Everyone already knows that it is cool to wear Hello Kitty but I would love to see a girl wear a vintage Sailor Moon shirt with her favorite character. Mine was Sailor Jupiter in the green. What a fuckin' fox.

Frank

Aire | Indiana Jones' Childhood Best Friend & Long-Time Rival

This gentleman right here is just way too freakin' tough!

Check out that pose & confident smirk!

Frank here is donning every perfect timeless masculine article of clothing-- black leather shoes, blue jeans, black leather belt, white button down shirt, white crew neck tee, black adventurer's cap & dark brown leather travel bag.

Frank's glasses are truly elite, too!

My New Sister, Aileen

Aire | Rightfully Smug

I've seen shawls draped over shoulders, wrapped around necks but never tied on as a belt! I especially love the golden red-orange color and pattern of it as well! And her hair is so long, curly and majestic. Her hair reminds me of how the tresses of mythological Greek goddesses are portrayed in Hellenic art.

A mutual friend of Aileen & myself greeted us with a "Hello!" and proceeded to ask Aileen, "Are you Ceasar's sister?"

Aileen said, "..Huh? What? Oh. No."
I didn't say anything at first, I was just silent-- straight chillin'. But I have to admit, I did have to let out a little chortle cos I thought it was cute & a compliment cos I thought to myself, "Well it DOES make SENSE. Aileen & I are just so O.D. and we do dress pretty crazy.. and I supposed we both do kind of look alike! Awesome!"

Aileen responded to my chuckling with, "Cool! So I'm going to tell everyone that you're my brother from now on."

I gave her my blessing with a "Word! No doubt!"

BiC brite liner

Aire | Brightened Class

Irina's tight, small, slim-fitted, cropped highlighter yellow cardigan is adorable & eye-catching without trying too hard or being too loud.

It's great!

Especially when you add her comfortably nonchalant stance, all-natural pretty face, swooping bangs and über cute side braided ponytail?

She's perfect!

P.S.
Black bag slung over left shoulder = Prada
Tucked neatly in her right arm = Louis Vuitton
Clasped in her right hand = Apple iPhone
I forgot the name of the brand that makes her ballerina flats, but I just know that they're O.D. too!

Casual Spottings

Aire | SASS ATTAQUE!
Michelle here is truly a doll. I just love her 'tude!
As you can probably tell, I meet a lot of people all the time, even before I decided to begin this blog.
So you sympathize with me when I say that it is very hard to remember every single person you've met before.
Michelle here was no different.
There I was, just minding my own business, when I saw her & I thought, "Whoa! What a babe! I definitely gotta ask her if I can take a picture!"
Which was when she ran towards me, hugged me around my neck and kissed me on my left cheek & exclaimed, "CEASAR!!"
Dazed 'n confused, I ask her, "Excuse me.. I'm sorry, but. ... How do I know you?"
Michelle laughed contagiously and explained, "Through Spencer!"
Thinking to myself that I had finally remembered I said to her, "OH! Did I meet you at Taco Bell?"
"No.", she said.
"Then where?", I wondered.
"I forgot.", she confessed.
"Whatever!", I proclaimed.
"Yeah.", she agreed.
"Y'know... to be honest with you. I think it's so cool that we already know each other cos I was honestly just about to ask you if I could take your picture!"

&

The rest is history.

P.S.
I thoroughly enjoyed Michelle's clever addition of the American Apparel gold bikini top.

Solo Rooftop Study Session

Aire | Beautiful Mind = Beautiful Girl
Jenni is a Double Major at Hunter College
1) Environmental Studies
&
2) Film

She was studying French at the time I saw her & I truly felt regretful having to interrupt her diligent work ethic. However, I just loved her haircut, glasses, strictly all-black attire & tall cup 'o coffee. Her aire & lithe, pixie-like physical appearance harkens back to the supermodel beauty that is Twiggy. Don't let her waifish mannerisms fool you-- from our short conversation together, I was able to infer with ease that she is one tough upstart!

I promised her that I would call her someday so that we could get coffee & discuss our plans to help better the world cos when she asked me what I aspire to, I told her the same goal I tell everyone else--

"I wanna be the Mayor of New York."

The Day-Walker

Aire | Sun-Worshiping Vampire

When I saw her, I thought she was one of the most coolest girls I've ever seen at my school. So I was very surprised at her reply when I asked her if I could take her picture for my fashion blog, which was, "Are you being sarcastic? Is this a good thing? I'm not going to be one of those fashion DON'TS am I?"

As to which I thought to myself, "Silly girl, OF COURSE you're a DO! You look like you just killed Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Blade before your first period today!"

But in all seriousness? Yeah. Melissa here is a total fuckin' bad ass. And if you cannot recognize that & think otherwise, then obviously you're just a total fuckin' loser.

Ashes Glad He Ate Hers

Aire | You think I'm cool? Yeah, Whatev.

I swear I am always late for class because I find girls like Ashley wearing the sickest, most unique pair of gladiators that I have seen in my whole life. They're like a cross between suede booties & gladiator sandals!

Does it get any sweeter than that?

Nope.

No, it doesn't.

P.S.
All Ash would reveal was that she got them from "The West Village somewhere."
I asked her if she remembered where exactly & she replied, "Sorry, I forgot."

Which, in case you didn't know, directly translates to: "In your dreams! I'll never tell!"

Editor's Note : The title of this entry in my invented weird language is my own silly way of saying-- Ash's Gladiators.

Je t'aime ma cherie

Aire | The Love of My Life
Alex here has been one of my closest friends at Hunter College ever since our Intro to Media class in the Spring of 2007. I consider myself extremely lucky because I was not just only in the lecture hall with her but also in the same smaller discussion class together.

I sincerely do cherish her with all my sentient being. She was studing for her African Art History exam wearing her brand spanking new MARS VOLTA t-shirt from their show the night before.

Alex, to me, is truly one of the utmost BABE-iest BABES around!

Stay Gold, Ponygirl

Aire | Winsomely Darling

I was already half an hour late for my first class of the morning which was Children's Literature @ 11 AM-- but instantly upon exiting the 68th Street Lexington Avenue subway station, I was immediately run-in by this wonder of a totebag.

Totebags are a dime-a-dozen these days, but Monica's is definitely an ultra rare hologram of a totebag. It is freakin' PUZZLEMANIA for Christ's Sakes!

If you don't know what PUZZLEMANIA is then I truly do feel the utmost, deepest sorrow for your childhood was an unquestionably deprived, pitiful experience.
