...so I said I wasn't going to write for a while. Sue me. It's one of those things where if I can make a little time for it once, I can do it again soon after. You know because I'm addicted to my computer and all.
My experience with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has been basically all backwards. I hadn't heard more than a few notes from either (or rather, on "The Way You Move" and "Hey Ya" only out and about at Sapph) until I found myself in Williamsburg with a random the morning after Halloween listening to the Andre side insisting "Hey Ya" was on repeat. I got a soft spot for that side after that. Besides, I wasn't crazy about "The Way You Move" anyways.
I remember the first time I saw the video. I think my jaw dropped when I saw the main woman. I don't know her but I'm in love with her. I've talked about her a lot as I've seen it more and more. I remember sitting with Russ, Lina, Moon, and others after dinner watching TV and marvelling that you just don't see women looking like her much on TV. I speak glowingly of her, exclaiming "that bitch is stacked!" like I just stepped out of a blaxploitation flick. Then again, what do you expect from someone whose fave t-shirt has Blacula and his vampire hoes pictured on front? All I've gotta say is god bless her. That's a woman with good old Southern ass and thighs that another woman genetically predisposed to look about the same can appreciate. She makes me want to go get some food from the country kitchen or something. The missing resolution is to look like because she's my hero. And I love that song because of her.
And I'm really just a pig in girl's clothing. Back to my hole.
...but I've got to add: 5'2"?!?! They must have some crazy camera angles in that video and/or she's wearing like 6 inch heels. Plus she's an CFO. Can I be her when I grow up -- just like taller and stuff? And this message board is comedy gold!

Posted by: Lauren at January 5, 2004 12:14 AMClickt on the link, and yeah she nice but you know what? I know a girl that look just as good with all the T-n-A toy goodies. Only 1 problem, her head is fuckt! Bachelors in college mind you so she's educated however, she's tempermental, anxious, unreasonable and shit like that. All of which you would find undessirable in a woman. 4 give the spelling. Anywho, as the saying goes all that glitters aint gold. She aint alone tho, and it aint just a BLACK thing. Its alot of American women fucking they own lives up like that with the attitude man! (4 got to mention she's misserable and C'AINT figure out why! Nor will listen 2 good reason 2 help her move foward in understanding) We all got are faults me speaking as a MAN u can see how countries are at war and kids go fatherless at a unbelievable rate. Guess we share some of the responsibility for the way women are today. Never the less thats no excuse to not be all that you can or even excell better than self expectations. II aint hating on ole girl or your admiration 4 her but you know, she's nice but I like the more uncommercialized version. Hard work, sweat pants, ponytail maybe a lil gut but most importantly doin her thing and down to earth. PEACE
