New Orleans Cinderella

Yesterday at about noon, on Basin St., I saw a figure making love to a brick wall.
 Not that there's anything really new about that.
Every few feet, she'd try to walk a bit further and then make love to the next wall.
Since there was no way to take a photo of this creature, I'll have to paint you a picture.
  One dirty scuffed red Croc.
Face and hair like Lady Elaine Fairchilde... in skinny jean, belly exposed
Staggering under the wait of 10 pounds of mardi gras beads.  
In June.

Lonnie Liston Smith and The Cosmic Echoes



I'm still too tired by homework to write much of anything here now....so I'm posting music no one will listen to....but I heard this on the radio today and was transfixed.
Came home and did some laborious internet searching to find it.
(And did!)

Disco jazz flutes, people!
Need I saw more???

Sade-ities

I've been busy lately....in the midst of a dreadful class....with lots of horrible homework.
  Ugh
In the meantime, here are some throwback jams.....one you think you've heard, but you probably haven't.
I know I hadn't. 




I've always said, that if I could be a woman, I'd like to be Sade.
Wouldn't that be great?
Think of how much fun it would be to order at the drive thru with that voice.


Oh, and this one.


I used to have a cassingle (!) of this.
Alas, it was swept off in the storm.
Damn you, Katrina!

on a Friday afternoon, where you will always be the youngest person there by twenty years...no matter how old you are.
Oh, ma'am....I'd advise you to steer clear of the giant beans if I were you.

uh oh, too late.
Why yes, it *is* a cauliflower sheep. You know you've always wanted one.
A pouch for your "Swim Trunk's" Why you would need a pouch for your "Swim Trunk" and what your swim trunk might possess, I'm not sure, however.
Roasted pepper spread from Bulgaria? We got it.

Gay black boy dolls? We got that too. Take that Ken. This is Darren, from Barbie's "S.I.S." collection. I'm not even making this up.
A first grade English workbook in the book section. 
Let's see if I can do this: Appolonia, Barbie, Chase... Wait, where's Vanity? Did she get expelled again?
