SOTD-Dave Matthews - Stay or Leave

I was talking with a friend about the music snob in me the other day and my initial dis-like for The Dave Matthews band. You know, like the early 90's popular band that all the drunk frat boys cranked at keg parties, and a band that the radio played at nasseum.
So, I refused to listen or give them a chance. Not fair. But again, me being a stuck up snob about popular music.
Until....this song. 6 years ago, my girlfriend Melissa was packing to go to Europe to be with her new boyfriend, but, at the same time, was also leaving her ex-boyfriend in NY behind, who was still in love with her. Upon coming to see her and say goodbye, he gave her a mix cd, which she put on after he left, as she continued to pack.
As I sat there in the silence with her watched her pack, this song came on and made her cry and me cry.....and changed my mind about Dave Matthews.
It's a beautiful song.
Take a listen.

This past Sunday beach day seems so far away today :(

Me and my girlfriend Lisa, I sware, we were JUST at the beach on Sunday. Look- happiness on a sunny day, vs. getting a disease on the streets of NYC in a torrential downpour this morning.

This weather in NY SUCKS!!!!!

SOTD Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow

I've been bad with my blog. Got a couple of emails from readers asking where I have been.
HERE I AM!
Just trying to move and keep it together, so odd schedule these days. I've missed you.
Anyway, a little something, for now. A song.
In the next couple of days, I am going to do a serious, new summer music blog that will be more informative and give you some new music ideas and where to find them.
Until then, I really am loving the Black Eyed Peas.
They're back--and they did it right.
Sticking to their original, sexy, cute, trendy, hip hop style.
Fergie is so goddamn sexy and cool, and Will I Am is a tight producer, so I am glad they rocked it right.
This is a tight, hot song.

Enjoy!

Ready for my Rocky Horror Picture Show Closeup

Last week all of my things were a little jumbled, as I am staying with my girlfriend Lisa and looking for an apartment. Luckily, when I couldn't find my makeup bag, my trusty little hair stylist Lisa had a gigantic basket of it for me to share. All I really need is some good lipstick, honestly. Well, the closest I could come to a classic red, outside of tons of sticky lip gloss, was a tube of 'Cherry Chocolate' by Cover Girl. I looked like Magenta from Rocky Horror Picture Show at first, yet now, I am kind of liking it.
Better for a nighttime look, but I work in an industry that allows me to be a little adventurous with my clothes and makeup, so I am rockin' it again today.
For you gals who I know read my blog with interest in some of the periodic fashion/body/makeup things, this is a great lipstick for a little black cocktail dress, Saturday night out.

Ghandi

I had to buy it. At Barnes and Noble. Those cute, little canvas quote things that I had mentioned before. This has always been a favorite. One of my best friends Kim, when she built her wonderful (now sadly sold) day spa, 'Seaflower Spa' in East Hampton, the above quote was what she had painted in gigantic letters above the oak front desk.

Read it. Think about it. When you change, your world changes.
It really IS that easy y'all.

Peace Out

Ah-- Guitar!

Played guitar for 3 hours yesterday. It was so nice. I haven't sat down and played and sang in months and months. If I could have done it all day, I would have. I love it that much.
