Welcome to DC

I love living in the DC Metro area! Having been born and raised here in DC aka DMV(DC Maryland and Virginia) there are many things that go along with being from this area. Like how we replace our "ar" with "ur" and say curry instaed of carry or murry instead and marry urrea instead of area and Murrland instead of Maryland. The delicacy that we call Mambo Sauce that you get from the Chinese "Curryout" with wings and fried rice. And how you MUST be a Redskins fan or you are therefore deemed a traitor to the city! But also what makes DC special is our own special style of music, music know as go-go. Most people have heard it sampled in many main stream songs but it all started here. So with all that said here is one of my favorite go-go songs by the group UCB who plays for another go-go artist from DC by the name of Wale.

French Vogue

Model Rose Cordero covers an issue of French Vogue and I have to say this is a beautiful picture.

Also Italian Vogue has decided to launch a website dedicated to black women in fashion called Vogue Black where Grace Jones is featured. Check it out here

Madame Tussauds

I've lived in the DC area all my life but yet do I get to experience the many great things in the city. So recently I got to visit Madame Tussauds exhibit in DC. Here are some pics. The wax figures were so life-like it was kind of creepy.

Classic Movies

February is the month dedicated to the history of African-Americans in this country otherwise known as Black History Month. So I thought I would do various posts throughout the month of some of my favorite black movies. First up is one of my all time faves Carmen Jones starring Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte. If you've never seen this movie I demand that you go to your nearest Blockbuster/Hollywood Video or add this to your Netflix Que! It's one of THE ultimate tragic love stories.



Summary: At an all-black army camp, civilian parachute maker and "hot bundle" Carmen Jones is desired by many of the men. Naturally, she wants Joe, who's engaged to sweet Cindy Lou and about to go into pilot training for the Korean War. Going after him, she succeeds only in getting him into the stockade. While she awaits his release, trouble approaches for both of them.













Wasn't Dorothy a total Betty!
