plum head of the week 3.5.08

oh muffin, where do i begin...

muffin and i became friends junior year of college. our favorite things to do was dance on 102's porch to hip-hop music for the whole ghetto to hear. we also enjoyed ghetto cruises and trips to timothy's bar and grill. and that was just college.

one constant with muffin is that she is ALWAYS dressed to the nines looking beyond fabulous. from head to toe, literally this girl does not have an off day.

here's an example: one night not too long ago we had gone out on west 6th and muffin had spend the night at my apartment. we had made plans the night before to go get breakfast at the westside market cafe because grady sizemore has been known to frequent the place for breakfast literally everyday that the indians were in town. so we wake up in the morning and my roommate bird and i do the normal saturday morning hangover getting ready - brush teeth, put hair in ponytail with headband, sweats and tennis shoes. bird and i are patiently waiting while miss muffin is getting ready. she brought a full change of clothes, but like NICE clothes - new heels, jeans, flowy tunic top and all new jewelery. we were like, ok we look like homeless people next to her. seriously.

but the best part about all of her planning and primping is that it is just muffin. and is what makes her her. she is fabulous.

what i love about her is that she can call me out on things and be that voice of reason. one could say, calling my bullshit. i can email her a purse and she will say yay or nay, she can check up on me to see i'm working out and yell at me if i'm not.

muffin always has my back, and i will always have hers. watch out bitches.

love you miss muffin! xoxo
