iWatch: 'For Colored Girls'

So I'm anxiously awaiting this movie premiere. I believe this film will be Tyler Perry's greatest work yet.









The film is based on the famous play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange (1975). It's comprised of a series of 20 poems that tell a story of love, abandonment, rape, domestic violence, abortion etc... Each situation is symbolized by a color.











For Colored Girls - Domestic Trailer from Ignition on Vimeo.

This movie is packed with an amazing cast of men and women alike: Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Kimberly Elise, Michael Ealy, Kerry Washington, Omari Hardwick, Thandie Newton, Loretta Devine, Macy Gray, Phylicia Rashad, Jurnee Smollett, Anika Noni Rose, Khalil Kain, Tessa Thompson, Richard Lawson 



Along with Thandie Newton and Tyler Perry, Ms. Janet Jackson (my wife in my soul..........no I'm no gay and yes she's my wife lol yes that happens on My Yellow Brick Road) is doing appearances to promote this movie. Earlier today she was on Good Morning America interviewing with the em-famous Robin

Check out the interviews below:



Who could not love that lady smdh. Sheer Perfection.


 P.S. The Art Work that was created to help promote this film is amazing
So, here's a brick of treats

























These were initially "Living Portraits" done by artist Tim Palen (in real life they move very subtly)

I've got chills, how about you?!?!?

I already know I'm going to be in the theater on November 5th (my Nana's Bornday R.I.H and yes my family is making an event out of this day for so many reasons) in tears lol happy tears, sad tears, reflecting tears, growth tears, all liquid prayers so don't worry ;-)

iWatch: 'Runaway' n the comeback

 




My Take: love love loved the colors, they kept my attention.The film quality was on point.  He won my heart with the image of Michael Jackson (I love him to life).He depicted the image of MJ surrounded by people with red sheets similar to the Klu Klux Klan. I liked the 'last supper' gathering where he introduced his phoenix lover to his peers (mostly dark complected black people garbed in white) while they were served by white people. And as you may know he's just been winning my heart with those Got.Damn.Ballerinas. Of course I'm going to watch this a few more times to further try to interpret this film.

I was just excited to see a video that wasn't packed with plastic women. I appreciate how he decided to tell a story.



Collective (R)evolution


I'm so mad at myself for not posting this before the event. (busy body). I will make an effort to keep you all posted within a reasonable time for their future events.

This show was so moving............................I laughed, I cried (numerous times), I felt butterflies, I fell in love (numerous times), I got angry (numerous times), I felt peace, I received some reassurance. All of these feelings and emotions in one session that was about 2-3 hours. Very intense. (toooo good to be free).

Amongst the many loving souls in the room were; lowercaseletters , Ms. Wise , @GraffitiDC, Portia Richae , the amazingful host Tatiana Iman (third eye of an eagle), Ms. SheCanGo, Myself ;-), and many other beautiful loverly artist's.

Like I said, I'll be sure to update the next events

Sick World: Pedofiles

This is so sad smh.

Raz-B former B2K member has recently made it his mission to expose Manager Chris Stokes and R&B singer Marques Houston. Here is the latest video he has on worldstarhiphop.com .

In this video he has singer Quindon Tarver on the phone expressing sickening things that have allegedly been done to him by Marques Houston and Chris Stokes.



Do you believe it?

Quindon Tarver is the little black boy in the choir in the movie Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo Dicaprio (one of my favorite movies)





Now he recently auditioned for American Idol

Seeking D'Angelo

Memba Dis?!?!?


smh

Seeking Amy




I randomly often have this chick on my mind. I love her voice. I love the content in her music and the way she expresses it. It has the passion behind the expression which makes it sound like a real emotion. One of the few artist that can evoke certain emotions out of me. I appreciate her vulnerability. She reminds me of Marvin Gaye as far as her struggle and release. :-) We were meant to be.

Itching for some new tunes. I heard somewhere on television that she is indeed working on a new album =D.

I've just recently found her on twitter @amyjademermaid her personal account and @amywinehouse her verified account. Also check her out at amywinehouse.com

Searched around and found these videos. Tears Dry On Their Own, Love Is A Losing Game real shit.

Brace yourself for this:

 We cried together. She's amazing period. Respect her gift. I'm thankful for it.

iLove: Garden of Love



So this is my newest love affair. It's crazy that I took the time to listen to this song a very dreary day. Match made in heaven ;-). Makes me wanna grab somebody (special somebody ;-) ) and just stare at them for hours and hours. Just watching all grains, bumps, textures, rises, falls, colors.............all of the perfect imperfections of my own perfect imperfection made just for little ole me lol. (because you know when you stare too hard you see all the wrong lol).

oooh and he says "pitter patter" I say that very often. I knew Raheem and I were just meant to be. Twas love at first listen.

"The angelic.......nastiness she possessed" smdh come on Raheem smh.......simply in love

BET Hip Hop Awards

Ok so I know I'm late but..............................................

I really didn't get to fully watch the entire show. Maybe I have ADD but I just couldn't keep focus lol. Seriously. But from what I did get to see, this was the highlight for me:



The suits are what initially caught my eye ;-)

'A Conversation With President Obama'

Now first let me say that there was some false advertisement in the marketing for when this conversation was suppose to air..O_o's all over that. (I read/heard that it was suppose to air at 6pm and it aired at 4pm)



I loved this entire ordeal. This man, my President, is so innovative. For him to surround himself with representatives of today's youth, all put in a room to question and critique him is just genius. It is a very brave and risky act (nothing new for this beautiful man). I'm going to let you all see for yourself but this man was equip with the statistics/facts for every question that came his way so much to where it often seemed as if some of the audience members were quite subjective with their opinions and just simply didn't do their research on their topics.

Enjoy:

His Royal Purpleness

Well well well, I am very happy to announce that His Royal Purpleness (Prince) will be touring very soon. Some time in December on a "purple day" will start the Coming to America Tour. He advised the audience to "bring foot spray, cause it's gonna be funky". =D I love it. 




Just a little added bonus......................Janelle Monae will be accompanying him on tour. (sike...thats pretty damn huge).



New Edition, Cassandra Wilson, and Maceo Parker will also be joining the tour

Here is his new song "Rich Friends".....what do you think??

'Crown N Glory': Sesame Street

I love this!! I LOVE MY HAIR!!!

Blasphemy!! smh

I'm so appalled by this Bill O'reilly character. To accuse an entire religious following of such a crime that was so tremendously devastating to the entire world for years and years to follow is almost beyond my comprehension. How could he be so ignorant, insensitive, and just disrespectful to a group of people that make up a pretty large population in the nation and in the world?!?! How could he be (or pretend to be) so naive of all of the other people who are probably apart of a different "religious group" that had to be involved in order for 9/11 to occur successfully?!?! I don't know, maybe it's just me but that seems pretty evident =/.

What's really sad is that there are probably many people who feel the same way.

'Crown N Glory'

Through these yellow bricks that have become the make up of my journey a few of them so far have been natural hair. I've become pretty obsessed with it. I relaxed my hair when I was 18yrs like a rebellious lunatic lol. I went natural initially by default. I couldn't afford to go to the salon every 2 weeks (I had a short cut), so I ended up going natural. I had to restart that journey due to stress =/ in the summer of 2009 so I'm almost 1 1/2 yrs natural. I love it so much. learning my natural hair and all of it's versatility. There's a sense of freedom that comes with going natural. There is a natural hair movement that is taking place now-a-days. I'm so in love with it. It's like the 70s all over again.

Here's a video I came across today. Very inspirational and prideful.
