Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi Ce Soir?




Where's all my soul sistas
Let me hear ya'll flow sistas

Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista

"He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge, Strutting her stuff on the street, She said, Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?

The song is pretty self explanatory, it tells the story of a promiscuous creole woman know as "Lady Marmalade", who seduces a man she met on the streets of the "Moulin Rouge, Paris" (the original version was in the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana). After their sexual escapade the man has moved on from the experience, yet his memories of their tryst remains vivid when he tries to sleep. Some would say she was working the prow doing the world's oldest profession, prostitution, whatever the case may be, this is still great storytelling.

Originally recorded by the soul-funk girl trio "La Belle" Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, in 1974, the song was remade in 2001 for "Baz Luhrmann's" movie and soundtrack entitled "Moulin Rouge" Produced by "Missy Elliott" and "Rockwilder" and recorded by some of the decades most influential artist Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink. With such an Eclectic ensemble of ladies, they were able to blend four different musical elements together "R&B, Rock, Rap and Pop" and with such great artist on the track the song was instantly a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. for five weeks from May 26 to June 30, 2001. It was also a number-one hit in the United Kingdom and Australia, introducing the song to a new generation of music listeners, and brought the song's infamous catchphrase "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir" (which means "Do You Want To Sleep With Me Tonight" in French, an unsubtle invitation to sexual intercourse), back into mainstream culture. The 2001 version won Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya, and Pink each a Grammy for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals".

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO THE MOULIN ROUGE!
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter, all four girls (Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink) performed in lingerie inspired by late 18th century Moulin Rouge cabaret actresses and courtesan's, with a set built to resemble the actual "Moulin Rouge" night club around the turn of the century (1890-1910). The video won the MTV Video Music Award for "Best Video of the Year" and "Best Video from a Film"; it was also nominated for "Best Dance Video", "Best Pop Video", "Best Choreography" by Tina Landon, and "Best Art Direction"

Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here
Mocha Choca lata ya ya
Creole lady Marmalade

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

Nola Darling




"She's Gotta Have It" A Spike Lee Joint Starring Tracy Camilla Johns (as Nola Darling), Tommy Redmond Hicks, John Canada Terrell, and the films writer and director Spike Lee (as Mars Blackmon).

The film tells the story of an attractive, independent, fun loving and very sexual woman "Nola Darling" (played by Tracey Camilla Johns). She's a layout paste up artist, who loves having sex in her own bed, her birthday is May 19Th, (which she states is the same day as Malcom X) and she has a problem with commitment. Nola simultaneously dates three men (played by Hicks, Terrell, and Lee) who share little in common... except that they all want Ms. Darling to dump the other two and make a commitment to them. How interesting, all three of the men knew about each other and still each of them wanted Nola all to themselves, she even had all three of them over her place for Thanksgiving Dinner (so you know Nola had to be all that in the sack).

There's Jamie (played by Tommy Redmond Hicks) he's "The marrying Guy", the one who loves Nola from head to toe, he's kind-hearted, emotionally evolved, madly in love with Nola and a tad bit possessive. and there's Greer (played by John Canada Terrell) the pretentious yet sexy, self-obsessed male-model, he's in love with Nola & his "high-horse" as well and then there Mars (played by Spike Lee) A true Brooklyn boy at heart, he's definitely crazy about Nola, His sense of humor makes her giggle and his famous Quote "please baby please baby baby baby please" made him even more adorable, Mars is the kind of guy who's juvenile actions and thoughts would usually block him from wanting to be with a girl like Nola but the truth is she's got all of their hearts and has them all turned out.


Nola Darling's Quote: It's really about control, my body, my mind. Who was going to own it? Them? Or me? I'm not a one-man woman. Bottom line.

I love this movie and all of it's characters, it has a real and organic feel to it, which I love. It's Shot mostly in black and white on a limited budget, with a dance sequins scene shot in color which made the movie look even more organic, richer and interesting. "She's Gotta Have It" is arguably one of the most important films of the last 25 years. It helped to usher in not only the new age black women but a new wave of African American cinema, and independent film-making as well, its also Spike Lee's film debut, which was the beginning of a film legend, "She Gotta Have It" is definitely a staple in black cinema.♥ ♥ ♥

Free To Be You & Me!!!


You only know a persons story if they decide to share their story with you and it’s the small minded people, that lack creativity to come up with their own weaponry (guns) instead they use your personal information that you shared to attack. They lack their own creativity to come up with there own springboard. Deepak Chopra & Dalai Lama inspire with words of wisdom but a person of zero talents is negligible and out right negative. A thinly veiled attack should not be considered positive or inspiring on any level.
Succeeding in life is the ability to aim high, failure comes from setting your standards to low and hitting that low mark. That’s why the saying lay down with dogs and end up with fleas is apropos. Watch your friends! Shouldn’t we inspire to aim high? The fantasy of seeing yourself doing better or being better is called what? Positive energy which is no secret. In my 22 yrs of living I have seen enough reality to embrace fantasy. Make up is a fantasy that some call an illusion. A good movie is a fantasy, fashion is a fantasy because they all can transport you. I know who I am, to embrace the persona of Kelis, because I can relate to her spirit, and at the end of the day still know who I am.
Music is the soundtrack of "MY" life, and who among us is not inspired by lyrics that go straight to the heart. Who hasn’t listened to a song and cried over a lost love or failed relationship? Damn, for that matter who hasn’t listened to a song and remembered exactly what they were doing when a particular song came out; Hmmm seems like a soundtrack to me.
We cannot fight modernity, we can however fight mediocrity! Modernity should not be used in the context when inferring that we are the same; instead it should embrace the past, while moving forward. Although we all have the same internal wiring, we are not all the same, we should however embrace these differences; and this bitch from south Philly named "KASHIIF KELIS" is not afraid to say so.
