NAME/AGE/STOMPING GROUNDS
Princess Keisha Omilana
Forever 21...
Born in Inglewood,CA..Currently residing in NY, NJ, and London


EVERY DAY I'M HUSTLIN', HUSTLIN', HUSTLIN' AS...
A Supermommy, Supermodel and Supermogul


QUICK, DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE IN 5 WORDS OR LESS...
Sassy, classy, fashionable, sexy, and elegant


WHAT'S YOUR "TO DIE FOR" FF PIECE CURRENTLY IN YOUR CLOSET?
Wow...for me it's IMPOSSIBLE to pick just one!
It really depends on "who" I'm dressing for that day..
I have a black lace Stevie Nicks number that I wear for my hubby and Prince outings...

I have a cute, sassy Vintage Laura Ashley dress that I just adore
and wear to the playground with my 3 year old...
Then there's the hot pink floor length dress that is a head turner
Like I said...I can't pick just one!
ALL MY FF PIECES ARE TO DIE FOR!!!!

ITEM IN YOUR CLOSET YOU NEED TO RETIRE BUT JUST CAN'T...
There is that one see-through fuschia mesh shirt that might need a little break!
I'm a mommy and a princess now...
Can't exactly go around with my nipples all out!
But then again...LOL!

WHO DO YOU LOOK TO FOR INSPIRATION, STYLE WISE?
To be honest, no one person in particular
I love looking at the shows in Paris, NYC and Milan
But my all time favorite inspiration is TCM (Turner Classic Movies)
Then I just call my favorite Fanny to see if she has anything for me!

MY WEIRDEST TALENT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT...
I can imitate almost anyone!

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT...
My hubby, my 3 year old, my family
fashion, designer shoes with 5" heels or more...
and of course my Funky Fanny's Vintage Gear!!

IF YOU COULD BE A SUPERHERO WHO WOULD YOU BE? WHY?
Probably Wonder Woman...
Because I would look SO HOT in the outfit and she's dope
I'd also love to have her boobs!!


WHEN YOU SING IN THE SHOWER YOU SOUND LIKE?
Just like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion...
When they have a sore throat!

WHAT INSPIRES YOU ON THE DAILY?
Without a doubt my 3 year old Prince
Watching how happy and blessed he is inspires me to keep at it...
Even when all I hear is "No," "No Thank You," "You Can't"
and "Do Something Else!"

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU BE DOING IF YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE THIS PATH?
I can't even imagine life doing anything else than what I am doing!

WHICH SATC (SEX AND THE CITY) CHARACTER DO YOUR FRIENDS SAY YOU ARE?
Well no one has told me this but I do have the personality of Charlotte York!
I am a perfectionist, a planner
I have everything mapped out...
I know exactly what I want and at what age/time I should get/have it
And I'm a hopeless romantic.

ANY PEARLS OF WISDOM FOR THE YOUNGINS ON THE COME UP IN MODELING?
Always know your worth!
Never let an agent or booker tell you your look is not right for any project
Never give up on YOU!
Always be nice, pleasant to be around and a joy to work with
NEVER NEVER share with everyone your dreams and goals!!!
Create them, write them down in your journal
Pray about them, then...
SHOW THEM!

IF YOU WERE ON TEAM FUNKY FANNY'S, WHAT FANNY WOULD YOU BE? WHY?
Without a doubt...FASHIONABLE FANNY!
'Cause fashion is my passion and I am one fashionable lady...
Thanks to Funky Fanny's of course!

Princess Keisha Omilana not only wears crowned jewels
But is one in her own right!
Personality,Beauty, AND Sweet as Sugar!
What a Lady!!!

Have a lil' look see into her kingdom and find out firsthand!

Reminization: Selena

A little over ten years ago 'Selena' came to the big screen.
Dang it feels like just the other day when I was sitting at home watching this!

Portrayed by a young Jennifer Lopez, 'Selena' was a successful Tejano singer from Texas.
She rose to fame at the age of 12 and her popularity soared during the 90's. She was dubbed the 'Mexican Madonna' and was loved worldwide.


J.Lo did such an awesome job. My favorite part....costumes and makeup! The dark red lipstick, pencil thin eyebrows, long nails, racy outfits, and huge earrings were perfection.
I couldn't wait til 'Selena' went on tour to see her all dolled up. She really was that glamorous in real life.



Selena embodied early 90's glam with her own latin flavor. We will never forget that sweet voice and fabulous over the top wardrobe!

It's that special time of the month we enjoy so...
Time for our H.F.I.C. - Head Fanny In Charge spotlight!

This month...
dazzling Jewelry Designer Annie Basulto of Cubannie Links

This Miami bred, Cuban designer glitters from the inside out,
which has served her well when it comes down to the business of crafting her

Alicia Keys, Tyra Banks and the editorial pages of
Ocean Drive, Essence, Missbehave and XXL magazines to name a few.

As if that wasn't enough!
She's turned her jewelry crafting prowess into a custom nail design service, collaborating with Cure Beauty Bar to create "Minx and Links"

It's in my DNA!
I grew up going to flea markets with my parents

I was always around antiques, used and vintage items.
I was the only kid that took most of her class pictures in a
Coca-Cola t-shirt.

My grandmother had the bomb 70's wardrobe
but she was 4'11" and a size 0...
so I could only admire from afar.
I didn't realize then how lucky I was to be around an abundance of it!

If I actually had time to make that decision
I would be at my mom's house where I grew up...
where everything is familiar.
The air in Miami just makes me feel at home.
That's exactly where I want to be...
with the people I love.

13. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
The goal of taking care of my family very soon.

14. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THIS WHEN I'M MAKING JEWELRY...
Reality TV

Keeps going...and going...and going...

1. Name/Age/Location

Radio Rose Garcia

28

BROOOOOOKLYN

2. What’s your favorite era of vintage?  

The 1960s

There was such a great balance of elegance and being easy, breezy, carefree.

Everything seemed to feel and look as if it's floating

Could it be all the LSD maybe?

It was also a great cultural revolution
Where people started to express themselves and rebel in fashion.

3. What can we see you rockin’ on the daily?

My awesome Chanel quilted purse I found on a vintage run.

4. What is the ultimate outfit when you:
a. DJ?

5 inch heels, Little Black Dress, Leather or Latex.

I like to feel in charge - I'm such a dominatrix
Especially in my grommet Funky Fannys jacket!

b. STYLE?

Oversized buttoned down shirts or a sweater

Like my FF polka dot buttoned down..Tights and my motorcycle boots.

I have to do a lot of lugging around, bending and running

I want to be comfy.

c. BLOG?

Burnout tees or tanks, tights, Aztec moccasins and my Chanel scarf
I like to use it as a wrap

Oh, and how can I forget?

My leopard Snuggie!

5. You've got plenty on your plate, do you have a favorite hustle?

It's like having 3 children, you can't love one more than the other
But I can describe why I love them all.

With my styling I've worked my way up
and have been doing it for so long

It's truly my first love

I see everything as something I've earned and deserve

DJing keeps me learning every day

I'm on my toes, but very humble

So it's like a nice escape from the normal day to day.

With writing I always feel the need to express myself

I don't do it well verbally, but I'm great at describing it.

6. What’s your favorite thing about wearing vintage?

It's like having your own little piece of uniqueness.

You know that you'll rarely find another person wearing the same thing so

it's your own little piece of individuality
The hunt is also a great thrill.

7. What do you hunt out when thrifting /vintaging?

JUMPSUITS!

Love them, I don't have enough!

Bags/unique purses, anything with unicorns, bathing suits

I get very inspired by the colors and designs of

things I wore in high school (so hard to find nowadays)
90s Guess, Betsey Johnson, Polo Bear and babydoll dresses.

8. How would you describe your look?

Quirky, Fun, Risky

9. What’s your fave FF piece?

I don't have just 1...

But I have pics of all the awesome finds I've gotten

Wait for my part 2 - I couldn't fit them all in one feature!

10. Favorite vintage designer?

Not exactly a vintage designer, but I love finding Betsey Johnson pieces.

11. What Fanny would you be? (starts with an “F”)

Flashy Fanny!

12. Who do you look to for inspiration, style wise?

Diana Ross and Melba Moore- classic and sexy!

13. How did you become part of the FF fam?

I moved into the vintage cellar and never left!

I also provide the soundtrack along with some helpful motivation!

14. Shout outs/ Nominations for FF of the month and why?

I have a very talented photographer friend

That has a love for vintage greater than mine
Marley Kate, she's an amazing photographer

Have you seen her YSL sweat top?!

Or all the amazing goodies she inherits from her amazing Momma?!

Well, u need to!

Radio Rose keep curating the soundtrack of our hearts and blessing us boo!

Go get your fix and you'll be hooked for life just like us!

FF Street Style on Essence.com...

 At FunkyFanny's...It's quite simple..
We Love Vintage but we Loooooooove our Ladies!
Whether you’re fam..the girl next door..top of the charts recording artist..or a lover of all things vintage..

We spread love cuz it's the Brooklyn way!
And we love seein' our ladies get some shine for being oh so fabulous!

 FavFanny,Kiyama was spotted in FF by Essence Magazine for their
"Street Style,transitioning wardrobes from summer to fall" piece.

(Kiyama in an Amazing FF Neon Paisley jumper..WERK!!)
Thanks for the love Kiy!!


Of course we're biased,but we believe that vintage is the perfect addition to any wardrobe..
There's transitional treats in every season..

Here's some of our favorite tips to go from summer to fall..

1. Layering ..Pair your favorite summer top with a blazer,jean jacket or poncho for instant chic.

 2. Electric colors.. Dare to go bright..including neons..Add a punch of color to a neutral wardrobe..Orange,Lime Green and Yellow all go great with fall browns & blacks.

3. Rock animal prints..Use Zebra and Leopard print as a main ensemble piece or an accent..A leopard wrap dress..A zebra print clutch purse or bangles.

4. Create a signature look/style..What's your guilty pleasure?..Purses,Shoes,Jewelry?.. Focus on your strengths first and then build from there..People will take notice and all that extra attention is sure to put a smile on your face HOT STUFF!

5. Don't be afraid to step outside the box..It's fashion!It was meant to be fun..Experiment with different styles until you find one that you like..or dabble in all of 'em..Bohemian,Rocker,Urban with a twist..The options are limitless.


Peace/Love/Free Hugs

HELLZ to the yes!!

The minute we heard that Hellz Bellz launched their new "Style Warriors" collection, we were superexcited to see it..
We added a lil sprinkle of Vintage yumminess :-)

The line screams female empowerment with an Aztec warrior princess feel,a nice twist of fashion,and the resident bit of Hellz sass.

And boy ohhh boy.. this time they’ve added a whole new finesse to their rich and complex color story by adding colorways of black,navy blue,elephant grey,and pink.

The denim offers a stylized jean in indigo vintage (also in black) and an array of cute fashion forward tops, hoodies and tees to match anything you wear.

And if we might say so ourselves..our Vintage contributions were a nice added touch(wink)
