People tend to have a lot of misconceptions about me. They like to assume, insinuate, and judge me by the way I look or present myself, but what they don’t know is that my life is way far from perfect. I was born in Mexcio, May 9th, 1991. I’m the oldest of two gorgeous sisters and handsome younger brother. I guess being the oldest can be a good thing but at the same time the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I always felt the pressure of being perfect, always having to hide my emotions, and never showing any type of weakness. To always be strong not just for me, but for the rest of my family. I come from a family with immigrant parents, and yes I’m illegal. Thanks to the “Dreamers Act”, I’m able to continue following my dreams. I’m working really hard to make them all come true, but I’m pretty sure with that being said some of you guys can relate/imagine all the struggles my family and I have been through. At the age of eight, I was sexually molested by a sick individual. Honestly no words can really describe the feeling of going through something so horrible. To tell you the truth, it’s something that I still haven’t gotten over, and is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I wish I could say this has been the worst thing that could ever happen to me, but unfortunately that’s not the case. My sexuality has definitely been something that I have struggled with my whole life. Yes! I am gay, and proud of who I am. I wish that when I was younger and growing up I had the courage to say it and stand up for myself. It would of definitely saved me a lot of verbal abuse, mistreatings, and beat downs. Getting bullied is the worst feeling ever. I would say I never tried to take my life but I would be lying. Trust me there was a lot of times I tried to kill myself just to escape from it all and not have to suffer. There was a lot of times I tried, but every time I did, something or someone always poped out of the blue and stop me. That’s when I realize I was stronger than that, that even though all these bad/horrible things were happening to me, it wasn’t meant to be. So to any of you guys out there that can relate to this. Please! speak up and don’t let anyone try to bully you or hurt you in any type of way. Everyone deserve to be happy no matter what. Yes! I’m sure we all have insecurities but I guess it is true what they say, “You have to learn to love yourself, before anyone else can love you”. This is something that I live by everyday! Cause believe me the “Fabulous Guy” you see now did not exist until a couple of years ago. Going through all these struggles have made me so strong, so confident about myself that no one can tell me otherwise or try breaking me apart. Believe me there’s more! You’re just going to have to wait till my book is finished/ready to be published to find out the rest. So be on the look out! Fashion has definitely been a huge part of my life. My fashion motto has always been “I want to inspire others to express themselves through fashion, and not let’s the fear of being different, interfere with embracing the true fashionista inside you…”-Laylo. I remember when I was little boy all I wanted to do was buy clothes, style my sisters hair and makeup vs. your typical six year old wanting to play video games. I’ve always looked at fashion as my escape to everything regardless whether I was having the worst to the greatest time of my life. Fashion has always made me happy. It has built the greatest confidence in me and given me the chance to express myself, be who I want to be and not care what people or others might think. When it comes to fashion I consider myself to be a trend setter. I call myself the “Fashion God” just because i really don’t follow what others do. I like to create my own fashion and just step out of my comfort zone. When I say fashion is everything to me I mean it! This is not just my career, my job, this is my life! I’ve slowly but surly created a name for myself as a personal stylist, designer, hairstylist, makeup artist and fashion blogger.

I currently own my own Bow tie business called “Laylo’s Fabulous Bow Tie”. I design very unique/custom bow ties with the latest fashions. Check out my Bow Tie Instagram page @Laylosfabulousbowtie. Like I mention before I’m also a hairstylist, makeup artist and fashion blogger, so check out both my fashion Instagram blogs @layl0 and @laylostyles. Where i post pictures of fashion, hairstyles and makeup all done my me of course. I’m working on my own website at the moment, so definitely must go follow and keep up with my “Fabulous life”. Besides having all this side projects I also work three other jobs. I’m a co-manager for Aldo shoes, make up artist for Mac and I work part time for Michael Kors. Yeah I bet your thinking Gosh! How does he do it all, but whenever you have the drive to be successful there’s nothing stoping you! I’m a very hardworking guy, I have huge goals/dreams, and I’m fighting everyday to make all come true. My biggest fear is failure, and even though it scares me to death thinking that I may be dreaming too high. I’m still here fighting for my dreams. Always with a positive attitude and hoping that by sharing a bit of my story it will inspire others to work hard and never give up. That no matter how hard they’ve struggled in their life’s, you can overcome those obstacles, and live a very happy life.

“Remember follow your dreams, do whatever makes you happy, and never let others negativity bring you down…”
