reminds me of a great story about my mom’s young, single, pre-married life.
went on a double date with two dorky dudes. she and her friend went to the bathroom (bored as hell), and completely switched outfits from head to toe. went back out to the table and the doofuses didn’t bat an eye. not a word. amazing.
although i really doubt they were wearing strappy stilettos and ripped stockings…
the Times has been running a fantastic video series for awhile now that i just discovered. after spending way too long watching them, I am compelled to pass it along.
wonderful glimpses of peoples’ lives. for instance, this guy has been growing beautiful greens in the projects in Fort Greene, teaching children that an egg does not come from eggplant, and feeding his family fresh food.
i’m not a big fan of the Times’ attempts at multi-media, but this one is spot on.
for the past few weeks, i’ve been trying to reimagine my bedroom from the ground up. i want new colors, textures, light, angles. the lovely silvana mangano’s bedroom looks nice.
languid loungey dreamy vibes.

even though i might not be 8 years old, can i please wear a tutu and a hoodie all weekend long?
or maybe a sweater with rhinestones and a tiger?
thanks.
saw maxwell perform a week ago and have been unable to listen to anything else since. DAMN that man can sing. the new album is honestly phenomenal.
he’s been on hiatus for a minute and we can expect some major marketing on this one. so, before you get sick of hearing about him, buy the album and stop listening to any of the press on the album. it’s just that good.
big ups to liz for knowing whats good and coercing her girls to get down.

i’ve been hesitant to post because this will fall off page one.
but it’s worth it.
watching 106 & Park for the first time in a MINUTE, hoping to catch a glimpse of that new jay z fire.
turns out, the jay z + pharrell joint ‘change clothes’ is an OLD SCHOOL JOINT OF THE DAY.
whaaaa? 2003? old school?
ok so i’m a little bit hyped about this song right now.
i’ll admit it.
i am FEELING this jam right now.
ms. alicia you are KILLING IT.
it’s bizarre to be at an age where you start the day feeling like the dude talking on tv that sounds so smart is not smart at all but just sounds smart. gives the impression of smartness. but when you parse it down and unpack it, and look at it, he’s not saying anything.
sure, this can feel good and make one feel superior, and soooo smart. but bottom line, isn’t it weird? why is he on tv? why do so many people accept that talking head as truth?
weird.
