Postcards that fold out into mini-gardens, from postcarden. Shifting away from the typical inertness of postcards, this starts out neat and transforms into something neater, and useful to boot.

This guy is quite funny :D I like his creative spin on the chatroulette set up. Haven't given it a go myself, but my boyfriend was mistaken for Snape while on it... I call that a win!

A skillful summation of what turns me against most mainstream rap. But man, that guy needs a haircut.

This is what I've been up to at work this week. Somewhat makes up for the mindless monkey tasks.

Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce: Telephone

Admittedly, the crotch shot was not necessary, and the product placement was a bit irritating. But overall I gotta say: Love it.

I need a camera

I have often wanted to have a camera in order to take pictures, mostly of the moon or cool birds I see. Also, a shoe, because once there was a man's dress shoe in a parking space at night and I wondered where it had come from. Shortly before I saw the shoe, I think I saw a ferret. - May

What to say about Monae?

She introduces herself as "an alien from outer space, a cyber girl without a face." I must say, Ms. Monae, I am inclined to dig it.

I stumbled upon Janelle Monae earlier while looking for natural hair inspiration. It has been decided my big chop will happen in about a week. So, the first I knew of her was due to the pile of gorgeous natural coils she is notorious for wearing in a dramatic pompadour. As it happens she is also a singer, and something of an innovative musician at that. I could not be more delighted!





Serendipity has brought me an artist that aligns with my tastes in several ways. Her alternative approach in general is refreshing and very appealing. From her natural hair, to her gender bending fashion, to the constructed a reality in which her art resides, Janelle Monae is counter. And I like it, I like it a lot. Her artistic space is titled Metropolis [inspired by the 1920's expressionist film]. It's a mixture of cyberpunkish futurism and retro aesthetic.

She has collaborated with Outkast, themselves known  for doing things their own way, and she allegedly impressed Sean Combs enough for him to say she was "one of the most important signings of my career." The dynamically soulful quality of her voice puts me in mind of Gnarls Barkley, a group I also find highly inspiring and ground breaking.

Other than 'Many Moons', for which I've included the video above, I recommend her songs 'Tightrope' [with Outkast] and 'Cold War'. These are all off of her album Archandroid, set to be released May 18th.

 And, of course, the pompadour she's known for.

Well *I* think I'm real. Look at me. Look at my face. Cut me and I'll bleed. What more do you want? Please don't go
