Sonya has laid claim to the size 7 Bubble Ring©. That leaves a narrower (7mm) size 6.5 ring and the amber ring “in stock”.
If you’d like a custom ring, do what I toldya in the last post.
Stormy: Clouds? Not at this time. I am, however, pondering it. :-)
This is a remake done by Rob Zombie for the House of 1000 Corpses soundtrack. It’s one of my most played iPod songs. Lionel Richie was on board for the remix and Trina did the rap lyric. Now, I’ve been listening to that rap for ages and there were parts I couldn’t catch, so today I endeavored to puzzle out that rap once and for all. I checked several lyric sites and they all had it wrong. I knew she was referencing Ferragamo stilettos in that line, I could clearly hear that part. The lyric sites are probably wrong because it was men doing the ‘translations’. So, after about an hour of going over the rap one line at a time, I think I have the REAL rap! Not bad for someone who’s white and nerdy… Here’s the video with the rap below.
Brickhouse 2003 rap lyric by Trina
I’m a chick from the South
built like a brick house
bad to the bone
fatty girl stalli-ON
brick house amazon
I stay fly, yo
with a body that a grown man would cry fo’
when I walk niggas whistle (video: “when I walk, make ’em whistle”)
I keep ’em hotter than a missile
when I’m doing my thizzle
36-24-36
Hands on my hips
when I walk with a switch
Gautier dress, Ferragamo stilettos
class-y, but you can tell I’m still ghetto
a ride to this, a slide to this
fit slim in the waist when I lie you back, whoa
petite but I beat to death
i’m the baddest bitch (video: chick) y’all keep the rest
Brick
House
and my walk is mean
and I stay on the scene so fresh, so clean (video: “and I step in the club so fresh, so clean”)
The record version is dirty and the live version is clean, but finally after about 6x, I got the line: Gautier dress, Ferragamo stilettos. Damn, that was HARD. The video helped with the line and it makes sense with those words, as opposed to “I’m okay as along as I got more stilettos” or “naughty custom made stilettos.” So, there ya go, the CORRECT lyric for Trina’s rap.
It’s a really great cover – one of the best evah! Enjoy!
We attended both the F-U to the F2 Cabbagetown Tornado Benefit and the Windows 2 show last night. Well, I should say yesterday since we were busy for 9 hours! I know I promised to put up pix yesterday, but, well, 9 hours of benefits, etc…
Today you shall have pix and videos! Check back later, OK?
In the meantime, some PSAs:
– Earth Day is Tuesday April 22nd. Do something for Mother Earth!
– Next week we are blissfully unscheduled! w00t!
– Enjoy the dawn chorus of birds everyday when you wake up!
– Dr Sketchy’s drawing event Monday April 21st at Eastside Lounge.
– I really will get the pix and video up today, promise!
We slept in until 1pm! So, now it’s 3pm and time to get the day started! LOL L8r!
But I like it so much that I can’t sell it! I know, I’m so lame! It’s the last 6 pane window I have and the design came out great, so I’m keeping it for my front porch – assuming I can figure out how to hang the damn thing. Sorry, MINT Gallery! It’s called “Le Jardin.”
Heh, I wonder if this happens often with artists? You make something really cool and then can’t sell it. Ha! Emily tells me that her brother has some old windows at his house, so I’ll try to get those, but it’s too late for the MINT show.
Today I’ve got to work on the Tornado Benefit piece. It’s a skylight and I plan to paint a rainbow on it and entitle it “Over the Rainbow” – oh, and there will be glitter! Squee!
I’ve also got pix of my 5 current rings that are just soldered for you to see. I’m going to document the making of the jewelry for you. :-)
Pix of all this arty goodness later today as well as the Citizen Cope video for Emily. Stay tuned!
I’m back from the Cope show in Columbia SC. Tired, hung over and did I mention tired?
I’ll be napping today, so unless it’s urgent, don’t bug me until tomorrow. I’m old and cranky, you know. My bounce back time ain’t what it used to be!
I did take quite a lot of video and I’ll have it posted soon.
:-)
