Nicole and I met in sixth grade. The first thing she said to me was, *Alisha, that’s a model name… that’s like a fashion name.*

After both moving far away from Romeo, we were reunited (and it feels so good) at the swoon magazine party at the beauty bar here in NY.

We did a shoot together, here at Catherine Slip. Her little sister, Michelle, modeled. Their mom and dad were here, saying things like, *you haven’t changed a bit* and *i remember when you used to wear black lipstick.*
