"Turn the Lights Out and Listen Tuesday"- Rose Royce- Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Just no vacancy! Love don't live heeere anymore!
This record right here...
Oh, boy...
This record right here...
This is for the hurting soul.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not miserable, so there is no story behind me posting this.
Her voice, Gwen Dickey, really illustrates the pain and anger in a more civil way that I can stand in delight with because she still gets the point across. It bares more of an exhausted type of rejection to her lover.
[ For those of you who don't know, this was her last recording with Rose Royce and the feeling she is projecting was because she was going to leave the group. Resentment. Look it up!]
It's weird for the reason that she's not defeated in this track. She understands that it is what it is... and whatever it may be, it don't live here anymore!
Definite and infinite classic!
Turn the lights out and listen!
Get it!

Lissette Ferrer: Paint a Thousand Words

So, I've known this gal here, since 2005.
She goes by Lissette Ferrer and I will never front on my first impression...
I could NOT stand her!
It really didn't matter because she couldn't stand me either.
Why, you ask? Hmmm... I guess we were both judging each other by the cover, which is something you learn not to do when you're a lil young'n.
I'm pretty, so I guess that made me conceited. She was just her and I couldn't stand it.
Still, it was weird because the only thing we knew about each other was of each other!

It was 2005 and time for the district trade aka slave trade, where all the employees get mixed up and sent some place new.
Oh, Lawd! Not her! I can't stand her!
She was definitely calling me the "B" word in espanol!
Oh, well. Hater! (Lol!)

Truly, I cannot arrive at when we first spoke or when I started liking her as a person (probably when we stopped cutting eyes at each other), but booooooooy, did we get in trouble! I would love to spill the beans on all that we did, however... she's still employed there!
Hahahahaaaaa! Nobody will know but us two and Yosting aka Justin because he was always there to witness it!
HOLT!
Mmmkay, lemme tell you a story because I have a short attention span!
One morning, we tested out mase! I'm talkin' the smallest little squirt. Like, "cushhh!" That was it!!!
Word of the wise: NEVER IN YOUR LIIIIIFE, test this joint out in a closed space! Lmao!
It will clear a rooooooom! Hahahahaaaa! Well, now we know! Errr!

Any who...
Getting to know her, I've seen her at the bottom. Since, we've been friends in and out of the good and bad, I'm glad I get to see her slowly rising to the top. She is a visual artist and it's a craft I can tell owns her heart. She's pretty good at it. What I appreciate about her is that you can give her an idea and she will gladly run with it!
It's weird what you discover about people when you don't pass judgment. She's an odd one... but, I like her! :0)


<<<---Her latest, "Fetus."





"MyLife"
I can identify with the reason she chose this as the title. Although that's another story all it's own, I'm sure it's says a lot about her. --->>>



"TheRottenApple."
This is my over all favorite; painted on fabric. In person, the quality is ridiculous!
<<<---







Her artwork will be showcased in the Orlando International Airport, Artport Exhibition from mid April to early June and May during her 2nd Annual "White Party for Leukemia" exhibition. Look her up!

I have decided that on Sundays I will not be posting!

Are you going to be alright?
Do you need a hug because I have a bank full to give away...?
There, there now...
I just need you to miss me! That's all...
No, no, no... it's not you!
It's me...
No, no... Your hair looks ... no, your weight is fiiine!
I just need a day to think things out. That's all!
I promise I'll be back on Mondays!
Yes, yes, I promise!

...Of course, I pinky promise!

You'll still be here right?

:0)
Youdda, youdda bessst!

Wet Behind the Ears

So, I just started this fantabulous blog of mine and I must say there hasn't been a day yet, that I haven't been tickled by myself!!! I'm quite pleased with it's outcome and I hope you stick around to see it get a million times better!
Feel free to drop me a line about things you'd like to hear me make funny or write about, sing about, draw... Whatever floats that boat of yours!

See ya later, alligator!
(And, yes! I still say that! What!!!)

Kisses! <3

Sexy Saturday on the Catwalk- Nothing But Skin and Bows... Get it?

First of all, I have no idea where someone is going to wear this but wherever they do, it'll be inappropriate! Ha!
Wait, wait, wait!
Did you heeear me say I didn't like it?
No!
As a matter of fact, I l-o-v-e iiit!
This gown is by Alexis Mabille and I could hug her for this!
Honestly, you could expect me to act like a fool skipping around, all done up in this just because it is a seriously sexy and fun garment.
Obviously, this model here is nothing but skin and bows (Get it? Hahaha! Skin and bows! Ha! Ok, whatever!) so, we might need to add just a weee bit more support for me!
OH, MY GOD! SHUT UP!!!

EVERYONE HOLT!!!

I just got the illest idea! Look at this dress from the side...
This could be one sick bathing suit! Ooooh weee! With a bow on the side like that?! Whaaat?! You crazy!!! And, I'm on it! I just finished the design in my head 15 seconds ago and boooooooy is it sex-eh baybeh! My own little twist off from this gorgeous dress!
Three flippin' snaps in a circle!

When I actually make a sketch of the garment, I will be posting it! Get it!
Ow!

Beyonce- Heat Fragrance... Is it Really Hot?

So, just because it's Beyonce doesn't mean it's all that!
Example- her clothing line. It has it's highs, but the lows are much of what we've seen before. Blah!
Now, don't get me wrong... I'm a hardcore B fan...
I act like her when a video is on the tuuube! I turn the Diva switch onnn! You knnnow, dance really hard and what not. Swing my hair around in circles and act like I wasn't just about to bust my head on a TV like that one girl did when she was dancing to
Single Ladies!!!

Wait, wait, wait...
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAAAAA!!!
I have to post that one right now...
Sidebar time...




Ahahahhahaaaaaaa!!!! She's hurt! Hahahahahaaaa!!!!

Anywho...

Back to what I was saying...
Uhhh...

What was I saying?
Oh yeah!
I'm a hardcore B fan but, I want to know from those of you that were able to get your hands on a bottle, is it really good? I've heard it's on back order in Macy's.
Now, let's watch the marketing do it's thing...




Mmmkay...
Sex-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I don't know about you but I really want a bottle right now! The commercial alone is enough to make me think that it's better than J. Lo's Glow Fragrance series, which I admit I do like.

Somebody get the word on the street and hit me up!

I want to know what you think and I will gladly keep you posted when I get a bottle!

Ow!

Yikes! My Feet Are Bigger Than This Studio!

So, apparently there is this couple over in Morningside Heights, NY that though it would be a brilliant idea to spend $150,000 on a studio that's smaller than my feet! It's about 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. I'm talking, bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom with a stand-up shower!

(Inhale... exhale)
ARE YOU KIDDING MEEE?!
No, seriously.
ARE YOU?!
Are you kidding me?
Ya'll ain't playin', huh?
You know your bathroom is hardly 3 feet in any angle right?!
Oh, you knew that? Well, I was just reminding you! AND you have a cat?! Oh, lawd, honey!
There ain't (And I know... Ain't ain't a word, but certain circumstances, such as this, call for the use of such a word.) no waaay these people ain't havin' a round of Ultimate Fighting every night! If it was just me and a mirror in that place I'd punch MYSELF in the face just for suggesting there might be someone else in there with me!
My hair is bigger than this place on my worst day! And you KNOW I like my big hair to cover my chrome dome!
Ohhhh...
Myyyyyy...
GOOOOOOOOOOOOODNESSSSSSSS!
I shan't believe this!
I just refuse!
My flippin' head... is ALSO bigger than this place!
I think I'm going to be sick!
I can't breeeeeeeeathe!
Quit playing games and get you a nice 2 bedroom house and backyard down here in FL for about $120K! And because you want to waste money, give me the remaining $30k, so I can invest it! Get you a nice little Red Robin that'll knock on your glass around the same time almost everyday, like my parents do and avoid committing a crime in that will end you on death row- Murder!
I got irritated just seeing two people in this tiny-iny space!!!
I feel like blasting DMX's Ante Up, right now!
Rrrrrr... Ruff!!! Ruff!!!
Lol!

Well, on a more optimistic note... at least you can stick it in your pocket when you travel! Just make sure you ain't got no holes! Lol!
To each his own...

It Aaaall Faaalls Dowwwn! So, Wear a Bra!


Oooh, weee! This is exactly why it is so necessary to wear yourself a sexy little bra
with support!
Mmmkay, lemme tell you why this would never happen to me!
Because it is completely against my law! That's why! Duh!
It's not sexy!
Yo, she has a rope and it's still wobbling to and fro!
Ladies, hit up Victoria's Secret or La Perla and act like you know! It's NOT a game!
I just might sleep in two tonight! Lol!

Pssst... to all my frugal acquaintances out there- Victoria's Secret has on Outlet Store in Orlando! Ow! Get it!
I tickle myself! Aahahaaa!

Okay... moving on, ladies!

"Turn the Lights Out and Listen, Tuesday" Bootsie Collins- What's a Telephone Bill?

What I'd like to do, would be, good to you!
Bootsie, baby!
I don't even know howww I know this song! If you are just hearing it for the first time, I congratulate you on this accomplishment!
Now, this dude is off his rocker and I DO mean this in the most respectful way!
I think only three people in this whole entire world understand him- Bootsie baby, himself, S-N Double O-P D-O Double Jizzeee aka Snoop and perhaps, the late James Brown. Perhaps.
This song is just naaasty and I don't mean "yucky." I'm talkin' serious business. I won't even mention his track record as a guitarist! Do your homework people!
Study this track and get it on your i-Pod. Worrrd!

Duh, nuh, nuh, nuuuh!!! Here I Commme, to Save the Daaay!


If I ever got the chance to be a Super Hero, this is what I'd wear:
<<<<--------------
Sexy little number ain't it?! Hehehe, I knnnnow! :0p
Picture it with a red cape of some sort. Oooh! With glitter, too! That'll be sooo fun! Heyyy!


PROBLEM, PEOPLE!!!

What would be my special talent?
Hmmm... let's put on our thinking caps with that scientist guy from,
Back to the Future aka Christopher Lloyd.

CHOOOOOOOP! (Thinking caps on!)

I would love to hear what you guys come up with!

But, it can't be anything that involves sweating because I hate sweating and because it's gross! Oh! And I can't live in anyplace that would be so hot that I could in fact sweat! Aaand... uh... It can't be humid, either!
I remember back in 2003, there was a serious blackout in New York and I was sweating profusely and parched! What's even worse is that my forehead got super shiney! Do you know how big my head is?! Ooooh, GIRRRL! or Ooooh, BOY! Not a good look! Mmmkay?!

Yikes, people!
I almost forgot the most important thing!
I need a name! And Theme music, too! Day-gone-it!

Please make it fierce! 'Cause you KNNNOW how I gots to do it! Owww!

Sexy Saturday on the Catwalk- Victoria Beckham, 2006

Get it, girrrl!
I love this garment featured in Roberto Cavalli's Fall/Winter 2006-07 Collection. It's an old one but it doesn't change that fact that it's beautiful! If this were mine, I have no clue where I'd flaunt it but I'd surely try my best to find an excuse. Perhaps, I'd wear it to Sex in the City 2, coming to a theater near you, May 28, 2010! Ladies that attended SITC the first go round know you could never overdress for such an occasion! You GOT to come hard!!!
Love iiit!

Wowoweee- Willie of Fortune! I love these little boys!

So, I just finished watching Wowowee and I love these three little boys!
On this show, the host helps people who need money. Depending on the theme, the contestants state their case, showcase their talents and then answer some questions. Whoever is the better contestant, WINS! Yippy!
Any who, today's theme was "Willie of Fortune." This particular family is a garbage collector (basurero).
I was completely amazed at their talents, I decided to post this hoping someone sees them and maybe considers them for a recording contract.
Please watch and tell a friend!


Write Louder So I Can See It!

More than anything, I am a visual person.
What's ironic about that statement is that my Optometrist says I'm legally blind.
Inside me exists an engraved interest to pursue and spend any idea I feel relevant to my being. What lies beneath this big hair, beneath this big crown of mine, lies a colorful array of ideas and successes waiting to be illustrated.
What you should know is that if you desire anything in this world, you need a blueprint. I create mine by illustration or writing it down.
This is just a quick trip around the corners of my mind.
Enjoy! <3

Me, How I See It


Jungle of Love (The start of it all)


The Fight Between Night and Day

Fierce & Fun Fashion Friday: Do We Not Love This?


I saw this and couldn't help but to show some love!
The pose alone is brilliant. It's like the perfect accessory to the outfit! And we must appreciate the collaboration between Prada and Alexander McQueen.
Now, let's converse about this outfit...
Two different feelings come over me: It makes me want to turn on some free style and dance as hard as I can, really fast! Secondly, I have the intense desire to Naomi Campbell catwalk-it-out down my sidewalk, with Beyonce playing on a boom box! I love iiit!
It's just so very fun to look at and for those of you that know me personally, you understand why!
Definitely three snaps in a circle, Abbey Lee Kershaw for working it and the photographer, Ben Hassett for taking this pic while she's doing a backflip!
Get 'em girl! Meeeow!

I Always Feel Liiike... Somebody's Watchin' Meee!

Mmmkay, so lemme tell you...
Yesterday while I was engaging in sterilization of one's self ( I was taking a shower)...
Rubber ducky, you're the one!
I looked up and there he was...
The pervert staring at me taking a flippin' shower! I couldn't believe it! The nerve of this guy! He's so lucky I didn't have my brother's Rottweiler and my Chihuahua named Choo-choo- they're a team! Or my sister's two pit bulls or that mean little Chihuahua that lived down the block from me on Regis! He would've gotten the biz-nasss! O K K K?!
Well, here he is...
Ladies do beware!



















Can you believe this guy?! I feel quite violated!
Lol! I put a hat on his head so you could see him!

What in the Efff?!

I know she is NOT wearing little toy Doberman's on her feet! I just KNOW!!! And it has the... Aahahhahaaaa! It has the little fee... Ahahahaaaaa!
I'm am entirely tickled pink about this! Tickled, I say!

Ladies this is No, no!
What does Wendy Williams always say? "Moving on..." And that is just what we're going to be doing right this very moment!
Ahahahhaaaa!
Okay, I'm done!



















Just kiddin'! Aaahahaha!

Diggy Simmons, I Know You're Stupid. But, What Am I?

Diggy?! Diggy Simmons, is that you?!
Oh my, God! Shut up!
Who in the heck knew that Diggy is doin' it big like this?!
He came up behind me and scared the H-E double hockey stick outta me, the way he came out of nowhere with this freestyle to Naz's Made You Look beat, off his mixtape, The First Flight. Everybody clap for him! I mean, he's doing fashion too! Maybe I'm the one that's all late! Am I?! He has a hot blog out too! Check him out!
On the real though, I can't hate on this dude! I remember watching Run's House... Diggy was alllwaaays on another level. I mean Swigga Swaaag! I have a hard feeling that Diggy Simmons is going to be currr-azy in the future! Keep an eye out!
My verdict?
Definitely, fresh like spearmint! Ha! I stole that from the Digster! :0)
Get 'em!

"The Word of the Wiiise Should be Sufficient!" - Mr. Jones

It's important to me that I support the folks I care about. It's even more important that the people around me are supporting me as well, with their poms poms on the sidelines!
"Gimme an M!"
"M!"
"I gotcha M! I gotcha M!"
I'm interested in knowing the positive things you're doing with your life and I promise I won't yawn. Sometimes the journeys we take aren't met for everyone to accept and understand. Perhaps, you were just there to share the experience.
I know, I know... My parents made me smart like that. :o)

Have a sexy day! Ow!

"Turn the Lights Out and Listen, Tuesday"- Marvin Gaye "Distant Lover" Live

Ooooh, hooo! There's somethin' I wanna saaaaay!
If you don't know about this classic, you might as well ask to be born again, but with ears this time! Marvin Gaye is still incredible even as he rests. Still my first love... Untouchable... This record couldn't be performed by anyone other than this great man! Although, the album version is quite delicious, this live version just hits the spot!
I'm loosing my train of thought right now, as I'm listening and typing at the same time! He really delivers this song the way many artists today lack.
But, yeeeah... what was I typing?
Oh yeah! Turn the lights off this very moment (right now) and listen to this Legend do what the world loves him for... Sang that sonnng, Marvin! Owww!

Who Doesn't Like Cupcakes?!

So, today I met a very interesting individual... the world may know him as Johnny Cupcakes! Humble, humble guy! I truly appreciate the fact that he was completely excited to know someone was paying attention!
This is what happened...
I was in the Orlando International Airport (never mind the reason why) and I saw this man walking by with the famous Johnny Cupcakes logo on his t-shirt. Immediately I realized it was from a brand I was introduced to some years back!
Nostalgia took over... I was looking at the website and was utterly floored by the creativity he was putting into his brand! The man is not playing games! Look him up! Dope!
P.S. This is NOT a paid advertisement.
Anywho, I looked at his bag, and of course, it read, Johnny Cupcakes. Down on his ankle was a tattoo of the same logo on his shirt... I said, "No way!"
I walked over to him and like a dummy the only bright thing I could say was, "Are you him?" Hahaha! I'm such a dork!
He said, "Yes, I am him!"
PAUSE!!!
Allow me to add in a lil tid-bit about myself... whenever I hear something that excites me, I tend to project, "Oh, my God! Shut up!"
Okay, RESUME...
Then, I said, " Oh, my God! Shut up!"
He smiled. Me too!
We began talking and he was really pleased to know I was familiar with his brand. It was almost as if he just started and he found his first fan! He was such a nice guy and I can tell he appreciates people who appreciate what he does. He informed me of his Suitcase Tour that would be heading back this way in the upcoming days... You know I'm going with my partner in crime!
He said, "Would you like a picture?"
Of course, I wanted to, but certain limitations held me reluctant. But we did anyway! I'm a rebel! (Shhh... don't tell!)
He made a funny face.
Awwwh.
The end.

First Puff...

Today is the start of the "Brand New Era." What does that mean to you? It just means, I'm heading out towards new things. I'm going to experience new things, meet new people and most definitely test myself in new ways. Oh, I am heavily ecstatic! I decided to start this blog... well, because I'm a writer! And because I've been wanting to do this for quite sometime now. There's more to me than the average bear, but let me not spill it the first time around.
In any case, I am pleased to meet you... stick around. It's going to be a fantastic ride!
