An Amalgamation of Facts

Allow me to reintroduce myself... my name is HOV. I mean Krysty Del. I got caught up in the moment. Here are a few facts...

The GOOD

  1. I was born Krystal, however I go by Krys or Krysty. Del was my bio mother's name and she was the most beautiful person ever so I have adopted that name.
  2. I am 38 (if you repeat that, I might kill you! My birthday cake has said 29 since I was 29 lol)
  3. I am currently starting over. You are allowed to start over at any age. 
  4. I am African American/Black + some colonizer with a sprinkle of Native American 
  5. I am from Chicago, and it runs through my veins. No matter where I am, I take Chicago with me.
  6. I studied Psychology and Math  at the University of Chicago.
  7. I am single. Like no one will be mad at this statement kind of single lol.  I also have no kids, no ex-husbands that I know of and one pet (a bunny).
  8. I have 3 siblings: 2 sisters and a brother. 
  9. My friends are more my family than my actual family. I love them.
  10. I am a Libra with a Gemini rising, (if you know, you know)
  11. I love all things smart, funny, and fashionable.
  12. I was a part-time stylist and make-up artist for a number of years where I worked on photoshoots, movie sets, plays, and music videos. 
  13. I am outgoing to the 10th degree. I miss outside so much. I just want to do hoodrat things with my friends. But I am shy about a lot of things, hence my screen name Kurlykrysbchi.
  14. I am a helper, I love to see people win. I am a career admin/project manager. 
  15. I am a type A personality. I live for order and organization in all aspects... I should show you my closet. lol
  16. I have two personalities, there is Krystal, she's professional, driven, studious, serious, takes no one's shit, and is my protector.  There is Krysty who God only knows what the heck will come out of her mouth. She the life of the party, and fun and has noooo filter. I feel like I need both of them to make it through this thing called life. 

The Fashion

  1. My closet also has a personality duality as well. I have super tailored corporate side and a fun print/oversized side. Since the pandemic, my fun side has taken over my closet.
  2. I learned how to read from Vogue Magazine. I know fashion: style, cuts, colors, and fits... I swear if I could sew I would have a label by now.
  3. I am 5'6 1/2 (you will give me my half an inch) and I currently wear between a 14/16 (XL) top and 16/18 (1X or 2X) bottom, which makes finding clothes an interesting experience. When I am not carrying my quarantine weight I wear a 10/12 (L) top and a 12/14 (XL) bottom. 
  4. I wear a size 10.5 shoe, it is impossible to find good shoes as most as just men's shoes with a heel glued on. I hardly ever get a shoe on sale. If you want a large shoe blog, let me know...
  5. I can't wear hats, my head is rather large and hats look crazy. It upsets me that everyone is wearing hats now and my big head is jealous. So you won't see cute hats on this blog but you will get these head wraps. 
  6. I used to wear only dresses or leggings, because nothing fit over my pear shaped figure. As I have gained weight and become more of an hourglass, me and jeans are BFFs. I will share a few of my favorite brands.
  7. I have an obsession with items with a K on it. If I see a K I will buy it no questions asked. I have necklaces, sweaters, mugs, household decor: big and small.
  8. My hair is natural I usually do my hair myself for the most part. I had a perm for 10 years and one day just decided to go back to my afro... My hair is somewhere in the 3B-4A range and low porosity.
  9. I also have an obsession with onesies, if I could wear them everywhere I would. I wear one just about every day. 

The UGLY

  1. I dislike the sound of my own voice and I am clumsy/awkward. I know video is the medium of the moment but it scares me. We are going to try an inch and try TikTok. So I'm not saying never but seeing me create a YouTube channel is just a far reach for me. 
  2. I was a foster kid, and even though I was raised by family, I never felt like I belonged. I am often thought of as the black sheep of my family
  3. I hate the term strong Black woman, because of it, It took me forever to start over for fear of judgment and needing help. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need.
  4. I had a dating blog at one time but people started to comment just how much they enjoyed my dating traumas and how they were sad when I was in a healthy relationship, and it really took a toll me that people would root for me to fail, so I abandoned it.
  5. I have severe imposter syndrome and fear of failure. What if I don't make it? What if I can't achieve my dreams? What if it all falls to shit? Then I realize it has fallen to shit a few times and I push through each and every time.  Anxiety is a mother fucker...

This is me.

Don't let the bougie fool you, I said I was from Woodlawn : 36 questions about me

I haven't felt like myself in a long time and for the first time in years, I feel renewed and awake and happy. I thought I would take advantage of the lift out of the fog of depression and reintroduce myself. 1.Where did I grow up? Chicago, Woodlawn to be exact. My Instagram handle is Kurlykrysbchi... I will always be part of the Chi. 2. What's the most Midwest thing about me? Hmmm. The fact that I can pronounce Illinois correctly? I add an S on the end of proper store names: Jewels, Walgreens? My love of Portillos? The way I turn up my nose at everyone else's downtown? I say pop instead of soda? I say gym shoes, instead of sneakers? You choose. 3. Where do I currently live? Rural Arizona... send prayers! I'm afraid of everything and the thorns have destroyed 3 pairs of Adidas gym shoes. 4. Best friend? I have a few and they will always be my friends. I have in innate ability to always make an amazing friend. If only I had that same discernment when it came to dating.  ...

Happy Mother's Day or Whomever you celebrate...

  Mother’s Day is hard for me Because I had a mother figure for a few years but I basically raised myself. So this day is a reminder of what I had and what I lost. What I might have had, what I might have one day and what I will never have... I make no secret that my mom committed suicide when I was 4.  So this day just makes me sad, but not just for me. I’m sad for lots of people. To the girls that didn’t have a positive mother figure.  To those that lost their mothers far too soon. To those that wanted to become mothers but can’t.  To those still fighting to become a mother. To those that had mothers who were inherently toxic.  To those that had to mother themselves.  To those that waited a lifetime to become a mother. To those that are aunts and friends who assist in mothering.  To those that just didn’t want children but mother their friends, or help others.  To those that just wanted solace in their adulthood’s after their toxic childhoods. T...

Body Count

Seeing as today is Fat Tuesday and tomorrow marks the First day of Lent. I thought you would like to know I am giving up men who think MBJ and Russell Wilson are simps for loving their women.  So Lori Harvey, model and socialite is now dating the actor Michael B Jordan. I have to admit they are adorable. He went all out for Valentine's Day and rented out an aquarium just so they could look at the turtles (he calls her turtle) while they dined on Nobu. Men are up in arms over Lori Harvey being happy with Michael B Jordan. They deem her less worthy because she has dated quite a few well named individuals. (see: Trey Songz, Louis Hamilton, Future, Diddy, and Justin Combs) So Ciara, my Goodies singer, is married to Russell Wilson. The All American, God-fearing, loving football quarterback. Before she was attached to the football star with whom she shares 2 biological children and one child from a previous relationship, she was linked to some industry men (see: future, bow wow and Amare...
