…video: tightrope… (DIY, moment of vanity, Superfresh)


(if you’re viewing this in the reader, you won’t be able to watch the vid.  Come to the blog, yo!)

There’s no need to call any more attention to my card-carrying stan-club membersip for Janelle Monae (proof here, herehere and here), so I’ll let you all enjoy the song and video.

ACES.  It’s all ACES.

Predictably, my eyes were drawn to the footwear, but instead of  coveting a pair of shiny black brogues with a diagonal white bar across the front, I’m t-t-t-tipping on the tightrope with the ones I already have.  Thank god, because those joints are expensive as hell.

    Janelle Monae is the shit! I was totally bummed I couldn’t see her at the Viper Room a few weeks ago. Did you make it out? Next time she’s in town, lets go together, ok? xoxo

    I missed the Viper Room show (mostly because I hate the Viper Room), but next time she’s in town, we’re going!
