6 GIRLY JAMS TO DANCE TO THIS SUMMER

I'M VERY MUCH drawn to music by female artists who challenge the definition of what is ladylike; I think it broadens the spectrum of femininity. We can range from reserved, graceful and pure, to karate- chopping, sex bomb, potty- mouthed vixens. I wish I had the balls  ovaries to fall on the latter end of the scale, and I think it's so rad when chicks own their sexuality/ ferociousness and express it in their music, not in an objectifying way, but in an empowering way. 

RIHANNA- RUDE BOY: I like this song because it's danceable and plain old fun. Rihanna doesn't care who's judging her style or her change of image from good girl to feisty little blonde pompadour girl. Good for her. She deserves to have what she want want wants. 

KESHA- BLAH BLAH BLAH: I don't care what anyone says, I like what Ke$ha's about. Although I wouldn't invite her to my house for fear of her vomiting in my closet, she does make me want to add feathers and glitter to my wardrobe. All her songs are catchy as hell too.  Not saying I'm a die- hard Ke$ha fan, but I know I'll be blasting Blah Blah Blah at least for the summer.

UFFIE- POP THE GLOCK: If you aren't familiar with Uffie, then I suggest you get yourself acquainted with this Florida born, Tokyo raised, French based Electro artist. She's a rave goddess, coming into your world to take away all your cares and inhibitions with her sweet voice and colorful beats. This song, (which ingeniously samples Audio Two's Top Billin) pairs well with good times, short skirts and unplanned pregnancies.  Uffie's debut album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans drops in the U.S. this June! 

TRINA-LOOK BACK AT ME FT KILLER MIKE: This song is probably a year old but I hadn't heard it until recently when a friend of mine played the edited version in her car. The bass was bumpin and I absolutely loved it. (Later, when I went home and listened to the unedited version, my ears fell off.)

LA ROUX- BULLETPROOF: The first time I saw this video, I thought I was being Rick rolled. I've since grown to love Eleanor Jackson's androgynous look,  just as much as I adore this tune. It isn't necessarily a bad- girl song, but it's about emotional resilience, and I respect that. Plus, this is the jam, so turn it up!

BRITNEY SPEARS- 3: This list would not be complete without '3'. This song is so cutting- edge Britney, it joins the ranks of 'Slave for You' for my favorite Spears songs ever! She's a minx and she knows it, so why not show it? I'm glad safe Britney is long gone and I find security in the fact that I know I'll hear this song on any given night in a gay club. I bet centuries from now, when my head is in a pickle jar, my robot body will be dancing to this song. ( probably doing the robot.)

Awkward Comedy Show!!!

YOURS TRULY had the chance to go to THE AWKWARD COMEDY SHOW DVD release show and party on Monday night at Comix in NYC with my friend Sam. She was sweet enough to photograph my giddy fan-girl antics with these incredible Comedians/ Awesome people. They were great. And the legendary Prince Paul was there!!!

Seriously. Go Get a copy of THE AWKWARD COMEDY SHOW on DVD NOW!

Boondocks Season 3

SOOOO WE WAITED like a thousand years for the season 3 premier of THE BOONDOCKS and it finally came back last night. 


As much as I worship the ground Aaron McGruder walks on, I have to say I wasn't thrilled with last nights episode (which dealt with Obama's election). I understand that the show hasn't had any new episodes since the historic 2008 presidential election, but damn that was 2 years ago. It's old news. Maybe that's the problem-- the fact that the show has had a hiatus for that long has caused issues of relevance and perhaps even a loss of momentum among the audience. 


And I also wish there was a little more reflection in the story as to why Huey was so discontent with Obama in the first place. Is it me, or did the whole episode seem really unresolved? 


I will say however that the Will.I.Am ft Thugnificent song was hilarious.
