Happy Tuesday Night

!!!!!!!!

It's practically hump day & just a few hours before the 2nd month of 2012,

time is passing rather rapidly.

But as long as we're living every moment to the max then we needn't worry 

about missing out on anything right

?!?

Clubhouse Memo's | 'Slow Down You Crazy Child'

Hey People!

You know lately I've been feeling a bit disenchanted 

almost as if I'm not fully together.

Like I'm skipping over something of grave importance 

and the keeper of the Heaven's 

will not allow me to proceed 

beyond this point that I am currently at 

until I've come face to face 

with whatever it is that's playing 

keep away with me.

Clubhouse Icons | Clubhouse Invitations

All the way up until 

fairly recently 

I believed that I'd been born in the wrong era.

However I've found that 

there are many portions 

of modern day times 

that actually interest me 

Like that which my passion/profession is built on

for instance,

Hip Hop.

In any event 

my imagination often runs away to the past 

and is fueled by 

people, places, and situations 

that are aged but golden.

Dorothy Dandrige On The Telly!

My manager phoned the clubhouse this morning 

and we discussed some pivotal points of the present & future

you know talked a bit of business.

Anyway 

Dorothy Dandrige's 

name swayed it's way into our discussion 

and my mind was struck.

I was slapped with remembrance.

About 3 year's ago I'd really gotten into 

Dottie, after reading her biography

'Dorothy Dandrige' by Donald Bogle

Darling House Debates | 100 ways to Save Hip-Hop (via about.com)

While recently browsing 

one of my cyber city newspaper's 

(stumbleupon.com)

I'd come across an intriguing rescue mission list.

It was aptly entitled 

'100 Ways to Save Hip-Hop'

Decorate These Walls With Toxic Women | Andrea Mary Marshall

These white walls here in the clubhouse 

need a little grace & vulgarity.

It was after  all the great Diana Vreeland who said,

"Never fear being vulgar, just boring"

I mean really the world isn't a picture perfect portrait of

white walls, clean windows, and sunshine. 

There are dirt tracks, dark smudges, and storm clouds everywhere.

I've got just the thing these walls need.

How does One Dazzle All At A Masquerade Ball?

The 15th of January is briskly approaching,

& I am as giddy as a child on christmas.

Because not only does it mark the date 

of my 1st performance of 2012 

but it is also the eve of 

@LuxuryRapSF 's

Black & Gold Masquerade Ball 

at the Supper Club.

The only trouble is, I am still at a lost 

in regards to what I'm going too 

Doll myself up in to Masquerade around & dazzle all.

hmmmm....

Darling Explorations. Twitter | Tumblr | Clubhouse Members

So the other day as I was exploring,
 thru the window of my twitter vehicle,
(@DarlingBonnie)

I'd come across a tweeter that I hadn't seen in a while 

@solangeknowles,

or SPK as I like to refer to her.

(No I don't know her personally... yet.)

I learned that she recently took up residence 

in an area that I frequently vacation in 

Tumblr.com

My address there |

Please do drop by anytime!

Anyway

Darling House Rule | Kir Royale, on a Kate Spade Spread, Drink Recipe | Hangover concepts.

House Rule #1: 

Hard alcohol is forbidden.

Only permitted under necessary circumstances

I.E. 

extremely cold weather. extremely hard week. need for extreme partying.

I've had some good & slightly GaGa moments with hard alcohol many moons ago 

but I've since sworn myself off of it 

unless absolutely necessary. 

Soft things such as
Wine, Champagne, & dazzling flavored beer, are however acceptable.
