DAYDREAMING

Blind stares through the blinds, I find that..

We often catch a glimpse of what could be, what should be, what might be…

I see me

Dancing on the stage of a play on Broadway, reciting a monologue in a play, flying over the Atlantic with the wind whipping through my hair, I stare…

Off into space, to a distant place…a place where the grass grows tall and green, and the sun shines high without a cloud in the sky…

I hear myself giving that sweet “Beeeedddoooopp Beeee” in a jazz club or “Doooodaa Dooooo” Oooooooooohhhh weeeeeeeeee

Fly to the moon and land on the stars, we go far, way far, so far, covering distances without foot or car…

My imagination drifts like a plastic bag in the wind, winding, grinding, on the border line of insanity, taking me out of my mind, out of my body, into realms of fantasy and fiction;

Mixing work with play, night with day, black with white, sight with blind…Blinds…

That I stare out of to the sun that shines, until the day is done, and that’s when I’m done…

DAYDREAMING

The Origin of the Name

The name rELLIE mY was derived from a nickname that was given to me by my best friend. I met her in college, and she started calling me Baber. It wasn’t long before my nickname had a nickname. Baber turned into Baberellie, and then Baberellie turned into Rellie, and Rellie into El…but that’s another story. I soon adopted the name rELLIE for my line, seeing as Cinderella worked all of her childhood and was called Cinderelli. I correlated Cinderella’s story with my own, and realized that this could not be more appropriate.

My came from my last name Myrie.

My name is Thamara Myrie, and realizing that my initials are the same as TradeMark, I used this as the base for how rELLIE mY is written…see, I guess I was so wrapped up in myself, I considered my name a trademark. Because the TM after everything is capitalized, I figured, I did not have to capitalize the “t” and the “m” when writing my name, so I would write it tHAMARA mYRIE with the trademark symbol afterwards. Seeing as I want my brand to be a trademark, I figured, I would write it the same way.

So there it is rELLIE mY is all REALLY ME.
