“Can’t you see
I’m talking about eternity
Tell me would you care to be
My lady, my baby”
in hinduisum, the lotus represents beauty, fertility, prosperity, eternity and eternal youth. we all know that we can’t live forever, and that in time all physical beauty will fade, but the idea of forever makes many swoon at the possibility.
in lotus flower bomb, wale is enamored by bre who, on the other hand, is annoyed by his persistence. decked in a blazer and a fitted dress, she is working it as the manager (owner?) of her own shop and plays a mash up between annoyed and coy as she buffers wale’s attempts at breaking down her wall.

it’s not often music combines kente inspired african prints, fly natural hair, a soulful voice and boss wardrobes in a four minute ride of song and dance. in her new video, “only wanna give it to you”, elle varner is showing off her feminine side in a dress made for summer ready thighs and a shoe game that even the kick lover will adore. and the song? very upbeat and summery, which makes me wonder why her label waited to release a summer jam like this when all the leaves around us are turning orange. either way, it’s a new song to add to my playlist and style to covet!

the other day my phone rang. after doing a double take at the phone number i laughed out loud and thought, “not gonna happen.” the phone call was from an ex seven years removed – an ex that i walked away from after he, as beyonce sang, “showed his ass.” yes, thank God i dodged that bullet and i’m so glad he blew it because he was a man that i thought i’d marry.

“every time your name was brought up i would act all nonchalant in front of an audience / like you was just another shorty i put the naughty on / but uh, truth be told you do me for a loop, this hov”
one of my favorite rappers and skater boys is pharrell. he’s just so handsome and has a very redeeming quality about him that permeates his lyrics. perhaps it’s something about that slim boy swag, cocked and mischievous smile or the way that he sings in those slightly off key high notes, (or how you i feel like you i could go down to venice in a pair of pink, blue and yellow dc kicks with fat laces and do a couple of rounds at the skate park with your my boy at my side), but either way, he knows he can make the ladies still feel butterflies inside with his throwback, frontin.

“I’m a devious girl / A sucker for swag / It’s nothing to give you what you like / I wanna be falling for you”
Good music and good people are still alive and kicking. Case in point: Luna Angel. With a name like that, you know she’s destined for greatness.
Luna hails from the Bay area, but she’s been cultivating her sound right here in LA. I first met Luna years ago through designer phenom Melody Ehsani. Through her kind demeanor and style, I could tell instantly that Luna’s an artist and that she has a beautiful soul. [click to continue…]
“sweetheart, now is time i let you know, don’t wanna rush, we should take it slow”
groove theory could do no wrong in my eyes – ever. just the other day i was listening to “dija know” on repeat for the umpteenth time as i was cruising down the highway. as i listen to the words of “dija know” and “tell me”, i’m thinking amel larrieux was smashing into love around this time because these songs – sang over mellow beats and low bass – seemed to be fully encompassing how she’d met a man that knocked her socks off and how vulnerable she’d become to him.
when i first heard this song, though i was drawn to it like a child to candy, i [click to continue…]
“where kinky hair goes to unthought-of dimensions” BEFORE.THEIR.TIME. did you even catch that verse in their rap from 1993: “where kinky hair goes to unthought-of dimensions” (catch this at the 1:00 mark in the song – listen to it ladies). digibale planets showing up on the scene was a major game changer that never fully [...]
“sexy and so scandalous. have you ever danced with you hair?” the last les nubians album i purchased was years ago and i still listen to it today just like it’s new. i’ve always loved this french duo and their eclectic, r&b, pop sounds as they mix english and french on top of bass, drums [...]
“how can i be strong i’ve asked myself. time and time i’ve said that i’d never fall in love with you again…” recently my phone rang and i answered it quickly without taking note of the caller; unaware of the unexpected voice on the other end that brought a flutter to my heart for just [...]
gold triangle necklace | gunmetal-tone metal chunky chain-link bib necklace woven and spiked chain necklace | silver metalic “hit me…” nail polish “I’m repping for the girls who’re taking over the world have me raise a glass for the college grads” last night, beyonce debuted her new video for “run the world” and killed it [...]
“we’re ten thousand miles apart / i’ve been california wishing on these stars” rihanna recently released her video for california king bed. when i first heard the title i couldn’t image exactly what she would be singing about in reference to an over-sized bed. i appreciate the common notion that she is singing about – [...]
“see i don’t know if you get it yet, he’s like a lighter to my cigarette, watch me smoke…” recently i watched this video on youtube a couple of times. when i like a song, i usually play it a few times just for good measure. in addition to loving the summer time tune and [...]
