How much I LOVEE THIS SONG AND VIDEO! Now bare in mind I was about 7 or 8 years old when I first saw this video and didn't know what a sexy *prince scream* was, but the cello, trumpet, sax,piano and guitar!! blew me away and the harmonies! The fact that prince was sooo damn slick with it!!
So jazzy ,so darn good!! As I got older I realised what Prince was talking about but that rhythm had me at an early age!
Did you hear the harmonies to "sexy motherfucker shakin dat ass!" doesn't that shit sound beautiful! I bet if they harmonise some 2 live crew and uncle Luke...it still would sound beautiful!
Much Love to the Purple Yoda!
btw.. I hope you all copped that FREE album Prince gave away, the man is a genius!

....and im back
....with a new camera in tow ;-)
It has been an amazing two refreshing weeks of FREEDOM!! from work that is! As I mentioned a few post ago,I went went on my American Invasion! First stop was in San Francisco for 3 nights to celebrate my good friends' wedding, it was so beautiful, the ceremony was emotional, eyes welled up with joy and we partied the night away.
Seriously LA is a beautiful place to live only problem I had was the traffic jams!
Overall I had a great time,reflected on a few things,Planned a bit of my future and right now I'm trying to make it happen! Roll on the prosperous future!

I stayed in a wonderful hostel, the best hostel I have ever been to,highly recommend International Hostel Association in San Fran if you ever want to go.
I then spent some time with my homie for life he was the best host and we basically chilled. I needed to, a break was need and a break in the sun full of laughs and good times is what the healing doctor recommended! I went to the hood, the valley met up with my beautiful sister and her children and my twinny from another city. I didn't really want to leave LA because it was such a great time balling on a budget... *Dollar dollar Bills Y'all!!
This is us clubbing it up in Hollywood..I love my peoples!

Seriously LA is a beautiful place to live only problem I had was the traffic jams!
You could fall asleep and wake up and the traffic would of moved 2.5 cm! ok maybe I'm exaggerating but I'm not for traffic, I'm a walking public transport kind of gyal ;-)
The next city was to DC aka Dafna Central that's what the city should be named after she is queen on that city and I stayed in with my friend Dafna, good times but that HUMID HEAT WAS FINNAH KILL A SISTAH, DC is built on a swamp,that explains the mosquito's and unbearable heat!
Here's me at the Famous Chili Bowl,they make a killer cherry milkshake!
Fell in love with the random stickers on their pavements and anonymous art work on the streets.
I headed off to NY on a bus enjoyed the ride and met up with my Capricorn sister Anniebelle!
We went around the city, well mainly Brooklynnnn and Union Square! Loved the Brooklyn Arts Museum, I could possibly live in here and constantly learn something new or just be mesmerised by all the art in this building!
Brooklyn had a couple of handsome men , even bumped into a tall chocolate bald headed cutie * Insert biggie voice here* UGHH! met with more friends i.e my sweetie pie Marcus I've known for around 10 years spent about 10 minutes with him but it was wonderful and my Dearest NY Queen Sade *see us below* ...Good Times!
Overall I had a great time,reflected on a few things,Planned a bit of my future and right now I'm trying to make it happen! Roll on the prosperous future!
**Off topic*** But can we take a moment to appreciate this sink! isn't this just most sexiest sink you have ever seen??!! Look how that water seductively flows out of that tap!
POW!

I miss the 90's
Its true.I cannot get enough of that era for the simple fact that I grew up in it. These days I find myself during my lunch break going through youtube videos,looking at old skool rnb/new jack swing/ hip hop/cheesey pop/dance etc,having flashback moments. Today I got to thinking.. WHAT THE FUDGE HAPPENED TO R&B IN THE LAST DECADE??! I'm not even going to label whatever has been thrown out into the industry in the past 2-3 years as R&B its just something else, not R&B.
** side note; I will talk about some artist who have fallen off in another post**
I stumbled upon AZ YET listening to a song they covered titled "Hard to say I'm sorry". My goodness I forgot how GREAT they were, the harmonies,runs,rifts and sexual dark chocolate singer with the deep voice! I could of screamed at my work desk, absolutely beautiful! compare this to Trey songs for example its all about sex sex sex, wheres the love love love( & vocal range without trying to sound like R.Kelly's little brother)??
I love this video
Listen to the range of vocals!Did you hear that beautifully sung long note at 2:55 -3:07! did you hear the bass in that mans voice?! can I get a witness!!
This group is almost up there with Boyz II Men with their range & harmonies.
Talk about Harmonies,I am a harmony FIEND! There is one particular song that sticks out for me with killer harmony: For Real. a female Au natural group, they did a song titled: You don't know nothin back in 94 I believe, they used their voices as their only instrument and it was DOPE! This group is the little sister to En Vogue!
I also miss videos like this! Can't turn back the hands of time but for a little moment at least I have youtube to take me back to the 90's!

It smells like..Spring!
This past weekend was pretty cool, the sun came out to play and when the sun is out you shed your many layers of winter clothing! it was only 18 c, we haven't seen the sun in a while and people are bound to get a likkle excited.Lets keep it real though, it is not pum pum shorts wearing season yet people! nahh not even my big toes was catching sun rays, the flip flops will come out when the temperature is 21 c and upwards!
Anyways I digress, I had a wonderful day, rolled up my jeans showed a some leg and put on my straw hat felt the cool breeze and enjoyed the atmosphere. I caught up with my cousin at Carnby street where there was performances by talented singers and dancers, hip hop b-girl dancers to be exact from B.Supreme!
I volunteered at B. supreme a few years back and to see these girls all grown up doing their stuff made me so happy and also made me realise how much I miss doing street dance. I'll get back to it eventually, life is too short. My cousin introduced me to her friends and they were the loveliest bunch of people! lively, full of jokes and fun and to top it all off they were all from a creative background! I felt inspired. You meet people for a reason but just hearing about what they do lifted up my spirits and reminded me to get on my grind. I will not live my life working in an office. NO MA'AM!
The day was so fun walking through Soho and convent Garden I had to take a Polaroid snap:
Good times,more to come! enjoy some Biz Markie spring time goodness!

Something is up
Something is in the air, Something is in the water! I kid you not! Something is going on.I am noticing a lot of assholes walking around like they got two fallopian tubes and a period on the way.
They want to preach to you give advice when they need help themselves, practise what you preach! say what you mean and mean what you say...with action!In my experience rudeness will only take a person so far, keeping it real is all good but manners and respect will take you a long way. Trust me on that one. Something is in air, Something is definitely in the water.
*Rant Over*
