Musings of a City Girl

So you may be wondering why I am including music in my blog.

There are 3 reasons:

1. In a fashion show its not just about the clothes, the shoes, the accessories, the makeup and the hair. There is also music. Its the soundtrack. Its the context. They all have to click.
2. YouTube won’t let me put music in my videos so I need some place to share my favorite jams.
3. Its my prerogative.

And speaking of my prerogative check out one of my favorite songs. I have to throw it down in the club when this comes on. Its a throwback (hint: its a song by a group sanz Bobby Brown). (more…)

I have been listening to Kanye West‘s 808s and Heartbreak album since it was released last November. Say what you want about his ego but Kanye is one of the most creative artists out there right now. Definitely an inspiration, and have I told you guys that this album is the story of my life yet? lol. Well sort of.

Anyway, if you haven’t figured it out by now, Rihanna is one of my makeup inspirations. Her makeup artist Mylah Morales can beat a face (no Chris Brown jokes please).

So when I found out Rihanna was going to appear in Kanye’s “Paranoid” video, you know I was hype. Check out the video after the jump. (more…)
