Highlight of the week …

I do apologize for missing our weekly shouts, but I think this week we owe it to non other than …..

Cait Henck, President of Mary Baldwin College’s SOULS group. At just 20 years old, Cait, along with her crew Cierra Glasscho and Jessi Dunnivan, put together the college’s first EVER Drag Show in order to raise profits for ROSMY, a non profit organization in Richmond that focuses on providing resources for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth.

Featuring student performers who wanted to have some fun, and three beautiful queens, the night was by far one of the most exciting events, EVER!

Take a look at some of the wonderful photography done by Adriana Biberaj, another student at MBC.

Congrats Cait …. it was amazing …..

I know it’s been a while but I could not and would not forget about WORDPLAY WEDNESDAY!!! Hopefully you all didn’t forget about it either . This week I chose a spoken word piece by Asher Roth. Idk if you’ve heard any of his mixtapes, but that’s how I became acquainted with this specific piece. Do what the title says, and just listen

If you’re anything like me, then you have certain songs that describe your mood. Regardless of what happened between last Saturday and Thursday night, when Friday morning comes around I am HYPE and this is my favorite song to play on Friday… The album this is from might be my favorite R. Kelly album, along with Chocolate Factory…Enjoy, and TGIF!

Self-actualization

JayStyles — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:10:14 +0000

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self actualization…It refers to man’s desire for self-fulfillment, namely to the tendency of him to become actually in what he is potentially: to become everything that one is capable of becoming.

One of the best things about Twitter is that it allows you to stalk and follow the every move of those you lust after showcase your talent, which is how I became acquainted with this lovely lady’s YouTube page. While everyone (in theory) might be able to write poetry, not as many people have a potent delivery, or can articulate their emotions for that matter. But enough of me rambling, watch this particular video entitled “ILoveYou” and become a believer.

The passion of Weezy?

JayStyles — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:37:25 +0000

It’s a hard knock life for Lil Wayne. As if his current jail sentence wasn’t bad enough, it looks like as soon as he gets out of Rikers, he’ll be going back in for a failure to appear in court warrant that he got in Arizona. You remember what happened in Arizona right? Weezy’s tour bus got searched and they found weed, cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun. Seeing as how Weezy could not appear in court in Arizona because he’s dropping the soap in jail, his lawyer asked for a 12 month delay. The judge denied that, pushed his bond from $10,000 to $150,000 (I’m sure Goblin like Weezy can afford it right?) and issued the warrant.

Go here for the newest warrant story

And here for when he initially got busted.
