Uptown Funk Up your day Job

Friday. I'm so restless. I want to be out in the wide world, frolicking and dancing, singing and twirling. But mama's got bills to pay, so I'm at work. Fortunately, I'm a creative and blasting the jams is part of my PROCESS.  Producer Mark Ronson's newest release, "Uptown Special" is near ready-made for getting the creative juices flowing. The first release from the album is "Uptown Funk" featuring my petite brown prince, Bruno Mars. The groove flowed all the way through me. All the way. Before long, I had the song on repeat and Bruno was practically my cube-mate. … [Read more...]

MICHELLE

It was a shady, shady night folks! If you were watching President Barack Obama's penultimate State of the Union speech, then you know just the moment I'm talking about. Obama: "I have no more campaigns to run." Republicans: *applause* All: *laughter* Obama: "I know because I won both of them." But the real star of the night (for me, my mother and my sister, at least) was First Lady Michelle Obama's fly suit. The grey, nubby suit was perfection on Mrs. Obama and seemed to be made to be worn by a powerful, self assured mother of two--- gasp! I had seen that suit … [Read more...]

Movie Style: Selma

I am an ENTHUSIASTIC viewer of the Golden Globes. Every year, I take to the couch and limber up my fingers in preparation-- this night is Twitter intensive. I have tons of opinions and dammit, I'm going to share them. This year, my dog in the movie race was the powerful and utterly moving, Selma.  I had my reasons for going hard in the paint for Selma. Harpo Films. Oprah executive produces it? I'm there. Common. I'm afraid that if I have to explain this to you, than our relationship may be in trouble. Carmen Ejogo. I don't have any explanation. I just kind … [Read more...]

The Weekender

I am exhausted, guys. I woke up this morning at 6:30 as per usual, but I felt like perhaps I might be waking up for the last time. I had actually gone to bed the night before-- I am notorious for falling asleep on the couch. Or on the living room floor. Whatever. Don't judge me.-- but I woke up feeling like I had slept on a hardwood floor, perhaps in a ball gown, definitely something with boning. What in the world was I so fricking tired for?! I drug myself out of bed, put on an extremely colorful winter ensemble and took my butt to work. So, as I'm plugging away at … [Read more...]

Ok, so the cold finally broke through. Though I, foolishly, have my legs out and exposed to the elements today, I also have the heat on. This weekend, I am going someplace cold. I'm freaking out. I haven't dry-cleaned any of my coats from last winter so they're all stashed in various cubbies and holes in my apartment awaiting their re-emergence and return to glory. This started me thinking, "Maybe I should just buy a new coat!"     The Essentials: Outerwear. by kerriestella featuring long woolen coats Alexander McQueen black double breasted … [Read more...]
