Throwback Thursdays: Ballet

At five years-old you could find me in a tutu, tights, a leotards, and a pair of ballet slippers shuffling around a Sante Fe, NM ballet studio. Those were the good days. Thinking back on those years, I am remiss for not sticking with ballet because I think I had serious potential to be one of those dancers that just make you go "wow" when you see them peform. Alas....

Nearly a decade and a half later, I found myself at the bar, grande plie-ing, feet in first position, feeling like my five year-old self again---except I wasn't surrounded by pint-sized prima ballerinas. Nonetheless, the return was nice. I felt the strength as I relev-ed and the quite zeal as the in-house pianist's fingers danced across the keys, filling the room with a playful melody that paced our excercises. Like Arnold Schwartzenegger, I'll be back and this time I just might be there to stay.

*rLa.

John Lass's new mixtape Out of the Box(soon to be released) really is pure craziness. I'll definitely be posting the official release date but in the mean time check the boy's flow

There Ain't Nothing Like A Morgan Girl...

I was perusing through Charles Hamilton's blog today and saw that he was giving props to the Flyy Society...a maryland outfit and these dudes... They remixed Brooklyn Girls for Morgan. So my personal love for anything Charles Hamilton and HBCU related alone gave this mix realease space, but its also very good.
