Make it real...

Alice Smith- New Religion

I've been posting a lot of new music lately, as opposed to fashion and it's been a conscious decision.  I still love fashion but I have other musings, too. 

 I love beauty and the aesthetics of it all.  

I love the beauty that I can feel, physically, the gorgeous sounds that I hear, and the images I can dream up in my mind.  I'm saying all of this to say that though there are thousands of pieces of beautiful clothes, shoes, jewels and accessories, what's equally important is the woman behind them.  The one with the dying loves.

I hope this all makes sense.

While online downloading music (no feds please, Mr. Bentley ;) ) I discovered Murs on Imeem.  I'm not usually the kind to stop and take a listen to underground artists (many times I find huge disappointments) but he stopped me in my tracks.  His song, Woman Tonight, is dedicated to Lisa Bonet. 

 

The Lisa Bonet. 

 My absolute fashion icon.  

Obviously intrigued I did a little more research, poking around, googling and I found this quote:

“LET ME SPEAK FOR HIP-HOP. I’M THE ONE GUY WHO IS QUALIFIED TO REPRESENT US TO THE MASSES -- WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY TIRED OF US BECAUSE HIP-HOP OFTEN CAN’T SELL RECORDS. IT CAN ONLY SELL RINGTONES. IT’S BECOME A MOCKERY OF ITSELF. IT’S BECOME CLUB MUSIC. FOR US TO LEAD BACK INTO THE MARKETPLACE AND TO BE A RESPECTED ART FORM, I FEEL THAT I’M THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON. IT’S TIME FOR HIP-HOP TO HAVE A CHANGE."

Y'all know I love a revolution.

;)

**EDIT: Murs has an entire album dedicated to Lisa Bonet which was released in 2005.  Even more of a reason to love him, non?**

I wish it wasn't raining...

Seduction by Nikki Giovanni

one day
you gonna walk in this house
and i'm gonna have a long African
gown
you'll sit down and say "The Black..."
and i'm gonna take one arm out
then you-not noticing me at all- will say "What about this brother..."
and i'm going to be slipping it over my head
and you'll rap on about "The revolution..."
while i rest your hand against my stomach
you'll go on-as you always do- saying
"I just can't dig..."
while i'm moving your hand up and down
and i'll be taking your dashiki off
then you'll say "What we really need..."
and taking your shorts off
then you'll notice
your state of undress
and knowing you you'll just say
"Nikki
isn't this counterrevolutionary..."

And there you have it...

Let It Rock

2009 BMW 7 Series

There is so much technology included in the 09 BMW 7 series.  It's incredible.  Some of the best include the lane change warning system  and night vision person recognition.  Check out the video for all of the features.  There's no music in the background and no talking so keep your iTunes blasting...  

More details can be found here.

The bees kneessss.  

There's a picture of them shown from a different angle in this month's Elle US (the controversial one with Jessica Simpson on the cover).  They're gorgeous when you see the buckle on the other side.  I promise.  Imagine them with black opaque tights and a slouchy grey sweater dress...

Sort of Givenchy-ish or am I pushing it?
