This Week's Shoe Crush...

Shoe Goddess gave me the idea of my MUST have shoe for fall... and if I have to sell plasma to get them, so be it.

Behold the Jimmy Choo Ember.

Oh - and if you haven't bookmarked ShoeGoddess, you should. This site keeps me happy with LOTS of Shoe *ahem* Pics :)

Takin' It Back Old School Style...

Two performances that were put up on YouTube recently that had me howlin'...

Jody Watley

[Don't forget to check out OurBuddy dancin' his little heart out as well as Jas and EJ]

The Jets

[This was from WAY back in the day - shush MB!]

Good times, people - good times.

Reese started it, The True Urban Queen then launched the volley so now I'm off and running. I clearly am missing some brain cells as I attempt to do this but let's see what happens:

Instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

"Rising Up" by The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle ~ Nothing says Philly like The Roots and when you toss in one of my fave singers with, you know I'm gonna have this in repeat.

"Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield ~ Shhhh.. Don't judge. It's actually the lyrics that caught me (and the video of her skydiving out of the 9to5 when she's hit her frustration level was classic!)

"Don't Stop Believing" by George Lamond ~ What. You thought I'd just let a list skate by without a mention of GL? Ummm.. Not. Actually, he redid this song and I'm loving the track right now.

"When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls ~ Hey - it's a guilty pleasure. I actually like PCD. Shoot me.

"Closer" by Ne-Yo. That man can SING. Beyond Talented... way beyond talented.

"Be Okay" by Chrisette Michelle ~ With what I've been facing as of late, this song has kept me strangely calm. No matter what happens, I know that I will be okay.

"Love is Gone" by David Guetta ~ I heard this in Philly and I about blew up JoeZ's phone trying to find out who the hell sang the song, where it was, etc. That's one of the things I DETEST about Orlando - we get music late. Seriously, late.

Hey - do I get bonus points for not mentioning a track by JoeZ (only because I can't because it's not released yet) or another client ? :::teee heee:::

Normally, I don't tag, but this time I will (and damn - I HATE being limited by 7. I feel like I'm choosing a kickball team or somethin'). So, if you didn't get tagged and still want to play along, let me know in the comments and I'll drop by and visit...

Rockin' On My iPod This Morning...

One thing I love about my iPod shuffle is that I never know what musical melody I'm going to be zapped with in the a.m. This morning, as I'm shooting down I-4 after a MASSIVE traffic jam caused by cops yet again walkin' through traffic [sigh] was this track:

K7 - "Come Baby Come"

Now, for those freestyle heads, y'all know K7 was really Kayel from TKA (and, if I remember correctly, was also a DJ on Hot97 along with one Food Network Diva, Sunny Anderson). And, thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I found this K7/TKA performance from a show last year which has my favorite favorite FAVORITE K7 song of all time, "Zunga Zeng"

Now don't mind me. I'll be dancin' in my cubicle...

Germs + Me = Hell...

Let's face it, I don't think anyone I know particularly likes germs. I don't think anyone really relishes the thought of getting sick or feeling like you are standing with your face perpendicular to a donkey's behind and he's kickin' his little heart out into your sinus cavity.

When my friends are here at work and they are sick, I gently remind them - "Get Thee Germy Ass Home! I DON'T Need to get sick." I know I know - I'm a heartless wench but, really, I am concerned for them [and me].

I woke up yesterday feeling like crap but knew that if I did a shot (or two) of Nyquil, that all would be well. Yeah, ummm... not. At 4:53 this morning, I felt it - the weight of what felt like a hoof hitting my right cheekbone over, and over - and, for good measure, over again. However, with my workload, sick is not an option so don't mind me if I don't take my own advice and haul my germy behind into work all while wondering "Crap - I forgot to pack my Sudafed; where the hell is my Dayquil; ugh! I should have had wine or something last night - wine heals everything, right?" all while pouring a Diet Coke in lieu of my normal coffee going "Hmmm... dammit. I wish I could have this with a touch of Captain."

Of course I think the stress of late has really not helped my immune system at. all. Oh well. However, one good thing - lack of appetite = looks great in hot dress for Philly. That's me - trying to find the rainbow in a bucketful of muck.
