Fela Kuti and Rocketjuice and the Moon

Good Afternoon All,

I have been really digging Fela Kuti.  I just found out that Fela Kuti the play is coming to Chicago at the end of the month.  Those of you that are into tribal music, Fela Kuti was a pioneer of the Afro Beat. There was a play created about his contribution to music being shown in New York.  I just found out today that the play is coming to Chicago.  Since I am not working, I am kind of hesitant of purchasing tickets; however, I don't have that kind of hesitation when I see a pair of shoes that I like.  Well, before I found out the play was coming to Chicago, I have been listening to a lot of Fela Kuti and watching him in conncert on YouTube.  The dancers that perform are amazing.  It just amazes me where a lot of the dances that you see in urban America come from the Motherland.

While browsing Youtube, I also came across this new super group; Rocketjuice and the Moon.  One of the songs I am definitely feeling right now is Hey Shooter.  Rocketjuice and the Moon comprises of the Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tony Allen from Fela Kuti.  I was excited when I heard their song Hey Shooter featuring one of my favorite singers, Erykah Badu.  The music places me in the Motherland.  I can't weight (pun intended) till summer to wear some tribal jewelry, a tribal skirt with a simple tee and some tribal sandals like these:





Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...
