This is Chelsea Bailey again. I’ve called your department a couple of times, but your receptionists continues to send me to a voicemail. To no avail, I haven’t received a call back since and I can’t understand why. I don’t mean to be a bother but I would really like to recommend a program, much like a few other shows you’ve produced in the previous years. Miami Ink and LA Ink are all okay shows, but I feel that there are other tattoo shops that will capture an audience that is just as large, if not larger than the other two.
The shop that I speak of is called City of Ink. It is located in Atlanta, Georgia and I’m sure that it sounds familiar, as it is one of the BEST tattoo shops in the WORLD! The owners, Miya Bailey& Tuki Carter, have travelled all over the world sharing their skin paintings (tattoos) and art with those that respect and support them as artists. Not only is City of Ink a tattoo shop, but it is an art gallery for the talented “local” artist and a hang out spot for a number of different individuals. It’s not out of the ordinary to drop by the shop, catch some new tunes, surf the web, and possibly buy a pair of handmade earrings. The City of Ink Movement has no color or socioeconomic barriers, just real people who love and appreciate GREAT art work.
In addition to displaying their own art, City of Ink frequently sponsors art shows that allow local talent to showcase their art and gain support from those within the City of Ink Movement.
As a quick re-cap, if you allow City of Ink the chance to have their own show, it is imperative that Miya and Tuki are given a voice when it comes to creative control. The are the shop owners, so the shop is in essence their ”child”. Their clients and following are dedicated and want nothing but the best for the shop, as it continues to grow. The City of Ink Movement is merely centered in Atlanta, which is the home of their first (of many) shops in the world. Traveling all over the world tattooing, there are people from each end of the world and in between that have City of Ink tattoos and that will continue to support them in their efforts.
I do hope that you consider this request. I will stop calling your office, but please check out a trailer from the show that will be on a television network near you soon. With or without TLC the City of Ink Movement will continue to grow, and just as LA and Miami Ink has become a hit series with multiple seasons,all I ask is that you allow one season as a tester for the City of Ink show if you don’t believe me.
Feel free to contact the shop [ @cityofink | 404.525.4465 ], as I am not an employee, but merely a supporter of the entire COI movement. Enjoy the trailer below and we hope to hear from you soon!

Me!
(BTW: I wrote this a while ago, and since It was still in Draft mode waiting to be finished it, I did it today. lol)
I am, a daughter, a sister, a grand-daughter, a niece, a cousin and a friend. A partner and a student. A young girl and a grown woman. I am confident and scared, terrified and excited. I am loving and caring and thoughtful and hopeful. I am sick and tired. I am shy and friendly and careful and careless. I am broken and whole. I am misunderstood, misguided and mislead. I am hardworking and determined, but a little scared on the inside. I wish on stars and dream my dreams. I pray to God and cry my tears. I smile on the outside while im hurting on the inside. I listen to others who wont listen to me. I walk on eggshells and i walk on fire. I believe in passion and true love. I am everything and nothing all at once.
Summertime in Atlanta is quickly approaching which means its TOOOOO hot to wear makeup of any kind. Of course you always need the basics: light shadow, mascara, and lipgloss…but concealer, foundation, bronzer/blush and WHO knows what else is too much in this disrespectful Georgia heat.
So with a fresh face, and clear skin, it is imperative that you keep your face in tip-top photo ready condition. If you have dark spots and frequent break outs, this is the perfect solution for you. It is simple to do, and you probably have all the ingredients to this skin saver already in your medicine cabinet.
This skin saver that I’m referring to is the Aspirin Mask. I have been using the aspirin mask for close to three months and I am a witness that it definitely works! You only need to use it like every two or three days, but believe me, after about 2 weeks, you can see and feel the difference.
Cristal...witn no makeup
I first found out about the aspirin mask from following Cristal Steverson (@CristaltheGreat) on Twitter, a fellow Detroit native, Renaissance Alumnus and model who resides in Atlanta. If you think she looks familiar it’s because she was (is) Serious from Season 1 of Flavor of Love on VH1. Notwithstanding, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this aspirin mask and I know that you will too.
Watch the video below! She also gives tips for burning calories/weight loss with items that everyone has in their kitchen. If you want to follow along with Cristal as she does the mask, here is a list of ingredients you need to be sure to have on hand….
Uncoated aspirin
Honey
Peroxide
Shea Butter (Optional)
Apple Cider Vinegar!
So, when someone compliments you on your beautiful, soft skin be sure to #blameCristal…
In October/November I started an online bakery called Tasty Cakes Confectionery. [www.tastycakesATL.com]. With that being said, my blog will still be an extension of my favorite music, fashion trends, and random ramblings, but will now feature SOME of the orders that I do for my Tasty Cakes Clients.
Since I’ve been running Tasty Cakes for close to 7 months, I have many back up orders to show you how I’ve grown as a self-taught baker/decorator.
I suppose this is yet another re-launch of this blog, but this time I will do my BEST to update as frequently as possible.
Thank you for subscribing and partaking on my journey to become an elite pastry chef
Cousin Mary (in my head) has a new single out featuring Lil Wayne and Puff Daddy…or P.Diddy, either or.
I like this song…but I don’t know why, and its been stuck in my head since I heard it on v103 last week. Maybe I like it because her sound (on this song) reminds me of Tina Turner :-/.
Don’t ask me why! It just does! Listen and download below!
I’m fully aware that its been almost a month since Christmas, however I would like to share with those that read my blog that I did in fact receive ALMOST everything that was on my Christmas list (even what I didn’t blog about). Aside from the fact that I didn’t get my flip cam (YET ), I have everything else and will be getting my @miyabailey original within the WEEK! (Or should I say before Feb 1, 2011!

Anyhoo, One of the last items I received was my Wilton Cake Decorating kit (which I gifted to myself ). Its sooo many neat things that came in the box of goodies! Everything I need to make a gorgeous, yummy, delicious cake (and cupcakes)
