Heeeeeere's Johnny! Cupcakes, that is!

Mmmkay...

So, like I mentioned in my very second blog, I met Johnny Cupcakes in the Orlando International Airport...

Feel free to take a gander and catch up to speed! :0)

Currently, J-Cup is having his Back to Basics Suitcase Tour, flying around the US selling his shirts just like he used to- straight out of Compton! Excuse me... I meant straight out of his suitcases! Last night, he was in Orlando, FL at the Bold Hype Art Gallery.

Man, oh man! By the time Pierre and I arrived it was about nine something and the line was wrapped around and 'round. I, of course, was trying act like heels don't hurt when you stand in them for four hours straight and went in like a fashion soldier!

I must say that I've never waited on line for anything- to include a Playstation or Jordan's. This was truly a unique experience. I could only imagine how he (J-Cup) feels knowing people would actually stand outside this long to say, "chelloooo!" take a picture and buy a t-shirt. Whooo-weee! But, we did!

I'm sure it was quite inspiring for Pierre because he is currently pursuing fashion design- his brand is coming along quite lovely. >>>Keep an eye out, I'll be posting about his line soon-LMG. I'm glad I was there with him. He's a fun guy! :0)

OMG! Shut up!

Mmmkay, lemme tell you...

We're standing there and this dude pulls up in his scooter and behold! It has a spare tire! I thought it was just the most darling thing! I was literally so tickled, I had to take a photo!

It's cute right? Don't you just want to pinch it?! Ha!

Back to what I was saying...

Uhhhh...

So, we finally get to the front of the line and there he is... Johnny Cupcakes! Yay!

He didn't recognize me at first because I had on my "cool-gal glasses."

I said, "Remember me from the airport? I said I was going to bring him!"

He said, "Oh, yesss! Thanks for helping me!" <<--- This statement has been revised for certain reasons. ;0) I got you Johnny!

It's quite funny because he remembered exactly what I said to him at the airport! Hi5, Johnny!

Recap: I said, "Are you him?" I'm such a dork!

He then goes to one of his fashion designers and told him, "This is the girl I was talking about!" and introduced us! Awwwh!

And then you know what he did next?

No?

He gave me the biggest hug! :0) Awwwh!

Pierre was excited to converse. Johnny was interested.

We took pictures and this time I can show you!

He made a funny face again!

I'm such a diva, that the first pic turned into a do-over! Ha!

He's still a nice guy... with a great memory!

P.S. Check out his story... It's incredible!

I enjoyed myself! Ow!

Who Doesn't Like Cupcakes?!

So, today I met a very interesting individual... the world may know him as Johnny Cupcakes! Humble, humble guy! I truly appreciate the fact that he was completely excited to know someone was paying attention!
This is what happened...
I was in the Orlando International Airport (never mind the reason why) and I saw this man walking by with the famous Johnny Cupcakes logo on his t-shirt. Immediately I realized it was from a brand I was introduced to some years back!
Nostalgia took over... I was looking at the website and was utterly floored by the creativity he was putting into his brand! The man is not playing games! Look him up! Dope!
P.S. This is NOT a paid advertisement.
Anywho, I looked at his bag, and of course, it read, Johnny Cupcakes. Down on his ankle was a tattoo of the same logo on his shirt... I said, "No way!"
I walked over to him and like a dummy the only bright thing I could say was, "Are you him?" Hahaha! I'm such a dork!
He said, "Yes, I am him!"
PAUSE!!!
Allow me to add in a lil tid-bit about myself... whenever I hear something that excites me, I tend to project, "Oh, my God! Shut up!"
Okay, RESUME...
Then, I said, " Oh, my God! Shut up!"
He smiled. Me too!
We began talking and he was really pleased to know I was familiar with his brand. It was almost as if he just started and he found his first fan! He was such a nice guy and I can tell he appreciates people who appreciate what he does. He informed me of his Suitcase Tour that would be heading back this way in the upcoming days... You know I'm going with my partner in crime!
He said, "Would you like a picture?"
Of course, I wanted to, but certain limitations held me reluctant. But we did anyway! I'm a rebel! (Shhh... don't tell!)
He made a funny face.
Awwwh.
The end.
