the monkey

smokey robinson looks suuuuuper young here! monkey may just be 1 of my fav old school dances. enjoy:

kid cudi- nardwuar interview!!! (& n.e.r.d.)

was in a REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY crappy mood- just really tired, over-extending myself w/ volunteering, tired of being a shoulder for people to lean on, overwhelemed w/ work & the fact that our intern was stolen...the usual :). needless to say i WAS super annoyed, until i saw the following interview via twitter. i heart kid cudi & i think this nardwuar guy is great!




...and n.e.r.d.

funny dance & funny vid about nothing

my new fav dance...



ok so the video IS about something. didn't realize rob made this until i re-read the title...that fact makes it 10 times better :)

the (original) jerk...

not to be confused with the (new) jerk

13 Most Ridiculous things about Beyonce’s I am Yours Tour

...courtesy of necole bitchie's blog. i found this amusing enough to share...whoever put this video together is great

dame dash...down but NOT out

read about his blak rok project yesterday in the post so i'm anxious to listen to it...came across the following video at complex's blog. apparently some short coming out about a studio/art compound he has in nyc:

FRIDAY THE 13th: A NIGHT WITH THE COOL KIDS and MOS DEF from Creative Control on Vimeo.

seems cool, can't wait to see the full thing. god to see dame still reinventing himself/being productive instead of whining about jay z, lyor cohen, etc. love the cool kids so it's good to see they're still around & mos def is looking hot (& like abe lincoln) as always.

side note: it's always weird when i see people doing illegal things on camera (i.e that drummer smoking weed)...does that incriminate him in any way?? i guess we can't prove that he's actually smoking something illegal, so no right? whatevs

i like big butts...

...so came across this article on daily beast about people wanting bigger butts & stopped to read. it started off talking about the death of solange magnano who dies while in surgery to have silicon injected to her cheeks (not the ones on her face!). then it gets into smoe history, stanley crouch's personal accounts then general opinion on the issue of body beauty. the story was a good quick read, but i found the comments waaaaay more interesting bc some folks were outraged at what he was proposing.

read article & comments here

song o the day: this song used to ANNOY me in my youth bc, well i have a big butt. but i thought it was great when the dancer does the kick to that whipping sound...i've tried to do this move many a time :)
