i love this child. she can do no wrong in my book. i love fearless and unapologetic artists. it motivates me to keep going in the direction that i been going in. the road less traveled. the road that people discouraged me from every corner i try/tried to turn. it would be so nice if once in a while, people that dare to be themselves were celebrated outside the entertainment world. no shade.

anywho- please get into the footage below. i love avant-garde. work gaga.

i feel so bad for kandi burruss and the recent tragedy in her life. the death of her former fiance aj [ashley jewel] was announced this morning. apparently his death [by blunt-force trauma to the head] is due to a fight that happened last night at a popular strip club in atlanta, where he is a promoter.

my prayers go out to his family, children, kandi & her family. stay strong honey pie. and don’t listen to people because only the higher power can get you through this.

*sigh*

life is so short. please make sure you are kind and non-judgmental to those that care for you.

::10/04 update::

there has been an arrest in the fatal beating of club promoter ashley “a.j.” jewell friday night. the suspect, frederick richardson, will be taken into custody as soon as he is released from the hospital. he was admitted to the hospital to take care of injuries that he sustained during the altercation at the body tap strip club late saturday night. jewell was a co-owner of the club and was said to be in discussion to buy the club at the time of his death.

my ponytail & i, in the pink office.

this blog was inspired by some clips of the oprah show with chris rock on there discussing his new docu-comedy- “good hair’ . it is AMAZING to me how enslave we are by our hair. i mean i am beginning to dislike my -blown out- hair more and more everyday. when my hair is in it’s natural curly state, i feel a sense of freedom that is UN-real. if it’s humid, so what. if it drizzles, so what. if i’m hot and sweaty, who cares. no running into the bodega and making a poncho out of 6 black plastic bags. i meeeeean. come ON! seriously, i often get a FABulous doobie [courtesy of magda the fab dominicana], and will ponytail the shit as SOON as i get home. just too much for me to stress over right now.

with that said, i’ve always said i want to live in another country. i am so not in the mood sometimes for the spoiled antics of the american ‘dream’. [over it] to be honest, london has been on my mind for years and i dream of raising my little pumpkin(s) in a culture-filled society that isn’t obsessed with excess. not to mention the fact that the UK, hands down, is the birth pace of some of my all-time favorite artist.

i have a new favorite. the noisettes. SOOO dope. i love when a brown-skinned girl that embraces her natural hair is CELEBRATED for once. [mmmHMMM- look at what the 'u.s.' did to india arie] anyway look below and enjoy!!!!
