NBA Finals: Lakers vs. Celtics


As much as I would like to say they I feel comfortable the Laker's will when the series I'm a little afraid. I do believe the Laker's are in a much better position this year having Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum available but the key match up will be if Pau Gasol can avoid being bullied by Kevin Garnett. If Pau can play like an all star i'll take the Laker's in 6. If not the series will be a 7 game nail biter. The Laker's will also have to play more Shannon Brown at the point to try to contend with Rondo. Many questions will be answered when the game kicks off at 9.

How would you describe your art form??

Depending on my mood, i like to draw objects that i see and include the word "Love" in every sketch. It allows me to express my emotions even though I'm not in "Love". It's kind of weird but its a word that many often use and it always turns into "Pain". Art makes me fall in Love with myself and my creations keep me driven by my goals.

How did you start??

DanniGyrl T-Shirts were thought of out of the blue..... My Middle name is Danielle and my father/bothers name is Danny and i have boy tendencies something like a "TomBoy" wink wink which is why i decided DANNIGYRL. I was going for a more Bashful, Drunkin thoughts, stereotypical quotes about myself. Which, some are true and some are false. So I decided to take the rumors I've HEARD n turn them into something I'm passionate about. ; ).I Did a couple designs off the top of my head, along with a Photo shoot i did wit a close friend Loany G the photographer and created my Tee's. I received positive feedback from hella friends which motivated me to keep going and to network wit other upcoming designers.

What is your inspiration??

When i was younger Betsey Johnson Inspired me with her funky designs but now I inspire myself with my sense of style.. Also i have a few homegyrls i admire and i always tell them I'm gonna steal their wardrobes ; )... not only them but the ones who like to talk shit that clearly never set down n had a positive conversation wit me...

What are your goals or what do you hope to accomplish with your art??

I have Short term Goals and Long term goals, Short term: create more designs along wit a website where orders can be made, as well as sending a few samples to boutiques to get my work out there and doing a couple of fashion shows ; ) (Fashion show with "Members Only" in October) Long term goals: Short term goals will lead to my long term goals... Getting out of Virginia Freelancing as a wardrobe stylist... eventually opening up a boutique and running my own business.

What is your favorite piece you've done??

"Smoke Til Im Happy" T-Shirt more in LOVE wit the photo shoot then anything... The photoshoot describes me, a side that many don't see. I've heard from several people that if they didn't know me they would think i was booji and uptight (negative)...Im down to earth and i drink and hate to say it smoke as well not booji at all real chill laid back type of chic that knows what i want outta life n my life is not PERFECT and will never be.. so wit all the bullshit I've been through dealin wit relationship/friendship i rather smoke an "L"(not a smoker shh) until the sunshines and I'm HAPPY.....

Who is your favorite Designer??

I've been on some expensive shit lately why?...not sure.....but I'm loving Patrizio Di Marco (Gucci) I would spend my whole check in that store if i didn't have any responsibilities.
