I Love Weirdness

I hear so many negative responses on Lady Gaga's outfits: "What is that girl wearing?" "Is she high?!?!" "Lady Gaga is sooo weird." Even, artist Katy Perry via twitter commented saying "Lady Gaga must get her outfits from out of space." Quite frankly, I love her outfits. They may not be something I would wear in public, but its bold, different, and just plain weird. Better yet, WHO SAID that you had to dress this way, or dress that way in order to be accepted. Basically people, I dont believe Lady GaGa is dressing FOR YOUR APPROVAL. Furthermore, let us not forget Lady Gaga's outstanding performance at the VMA's, that I believe was a form of art. I love an artist that can give a performance leaving you questioning, weirded out or even telling a story. Yeah you can sing and dance, but what are you trying to convey in your performance? Anywho, Lady GaGa reveiled another outfit at fashion week that surprised people yet again....
Hmm...Im thinking she was trying to go for maybe a..."bloody mary, holy virgin" kind of look??? I dont know. But you go head GaGa with your weird self! In this picture, shes sporting a red laced cat suit with a matching choker and a red thong to match. Anyway, during her appearance at Fashion week, GaGa announced a joint US tour with Kany West. This tour is called the "Fame Kills" tour and it kicks off November 10 in Phoenix and goes on to canadian venues continuing onto January of next year. Kanye told the Rolling Stone magazine of their awesome pairing: "She's talented and so incredible, that shes not even an opening act. Were doing it together, with no opening act."
Lets give it up for the uniqueness that is Lady GaGa shall we?

Peace & Weirdness,

Lolita

Leighton Meester!

I love this girl! From CW's hit show Gossip Girls to Cobra Starship's latest song "Good Girls Go Bad", little miss Blaire Waldorf (Leighton) has been dipping her toes into a little bit of everything. Who knew she could sing? By the way, Cobra Starship's latest album "Hot Mess" was pretty cool. If you havent checked it out yet, please do so. Anywho, Ms. Meester did some photos for the fasion mag, Bazaar......

Go Leighton! Style in the last pic was fierce!

When You make a Mistake and youre a Celebrity...(specifically a black celeb)

Now lets get this clear. What I am about to say are not some words from an infatuated fan, groupie or anything of the sort. Simply put...give it up already. The reports and all the other crap thats been all over the news about Chris Brown and Rihanna. Honestly, how many people still feel that this is a juicy topic? Its entirely old news now. Dont get me wrong, what Chris Brown did was wrong. WRONG. But then again, everybody makes mistakes and horrible actions. Everybody has at one time in their life made an action that was wrong. That is precisely what makes us human. The media has run on and on with this.

Now onto what led me to blog this....

It has been reported on TMZ, Media Takeout, Access Hollywood and CNN that Chris Brown had said "he doesnt remember assaulting Rihanna". Heres what Chris had said in response to all of the drama:

"There have been reports on the Internet that I didn't remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times -- and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said. The first four times – or how ever many times it was - I gave the same answer -- which was that I didn't think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn't fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, "Do you remember doing it?" and I said, "No."Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can't believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before. As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can't. I take full responsibility for my actions. What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future."-Chris Brown

ok....blah,blah, blah this crap is boring now. We are living in such a judgemental society. Point blank, and basically what has been happening since february with this case is that Chris Brown has been turned into a "poster child" for Domestic Violence. Quite frankly, domestic violence has been going on for awhile now. The "wake-up" call should of happened awhile ago people.

ok this was annoying and the last blog that I will ever post about the "Chris and Rihanna fiasco"

Peace and Love<3

The House of Jazmin and a Rediscovered Dream

Im a lover of people who go after a goal or a dream, no matter how small or immense it may be. This new show on MTV called House of Jazmin features some new talent to the fashion world. I love it. Which brings me to mention how I have a little something I have had in mind for awhile now. For much time I have contemplated it. I have always thought (unfortunately) that anything creative I wanted to do in life that wouldnt be a guaranteed job I would have to quit. This led me to give up ballet, playing the clarinet and drawing. So I ditched the creative arts, locked it inside of a box, shoved it underneath my bed and focused on law. Most obvious field to head towards right? I could not have been more wrong. If you have a passion for something you should never let it go. Well, I found that box again and unlocked it. I have a couple of new plans and goals now and it will include fashion. I know doors don't open easily sometimes, but if it is something I'm passionate about, I'm sticking to it.

Dont get me wrong...I'm not completely ditching my dreams in law and politics, but I have a little plan of adding a little of the creative arts in my future as well. To the fashion world: Make some room for Lolita Royale.

Sincerely, The girl who dared to DREAM again,

Kanye and Rose did it again...

So I was watching the Wendy Williams show (by the way...that lady can look like such a hot mess...but she is alot of fun to watch) and she released these pictures of Kanye and Amber hitting up Miami Beach for some alone time. So I had to scoop up the pictures. Go Amber! for going out topless and flaunting your stuff like there is no tomorrow. Go Kanye! for a plethora of reasons. Now, something comes to my mind when I think of this on again-off again couple (among other crazy things *insert wink here*)....is she really marriage material Kanye? Who knows? They compliment eachother well though. This is why i wanna make it big...so that I can run around topless and have the paparazzi all come and take shots.

Whatever Happened to......

Fefe Dobson - New Music - More Music Videos

Fefe Dobson????? Now I'm an absolute lover of unique and out-of-the-box artists....who I dont mind watching on television. Fefe was one of those girls. She was new and fresh....a woman of color who I thought would redefine our image of what the "pop girl" was suppose to look like. Here was a girl who wasnt singing r&b...instead her debut album had "The Beatles" kind of influence. I would like to see her come back with something strong.

I Remember When....

Life all just seemed really simple and childhood dreams and fascinations all was right in the palm of my hand. Is it possible that I have lost my power to dream?

P.S. God, please let all my dreams and goals come true. I will not fail myself.

Beauty in the City

There is nothing like the city. Point blank. Instead of spending July 4th at a backyard cookout, my girl Ashleigh and I decided to go sightseeing in the city (and of course shopping was involved). Our favorite spots? 34th street, Soho and Union Square. Thistime in the city was much needed and long overdue! I had not seen this chick since we packed up and left our HU dorms for the summer (even though she lives in the next borough from me). There is absolutely nothing like growing up in the city. Many people have this stereotypic idea that everybody from the city is rude, angry and pissed all the time. This idea could not be more incorrect. The city has and will forever have a special place in my heart. It is my inspiration. Whether it may be because of all the different mixtures of people, or the random and unique sightings...the city is my home. The city is my life. The city is my creativity. There is this non-stop electric vibe that the city seems to pulsate (especially on this particular day). Everywhere you turn there was something going on, from crowds gathering for discussions on one side to b-boys and breakdancers on the right. And even the rockin skater boys are in the mix. Black, white, spanish, french, persian, italian, arab, yellow purple...New York has the most eclectic mixture without a doubt. The city life is fab. For real<3

Among all the chaos, the laughter, the crying, the cheers, the yelling, the dancing, the music, the jeers, the flashing lights, the constant action, the crowds and the occassional cop car sirens...there is this silent beauty that exists in the nature of the city. It can be seen in the architecture, the plentiful and vibrant colors displayed across storefront windows, and even the different pigments of skin that roam the city streets. There is a natural beauty to this world that I value and i find illuminated in the city. This place of diversity, love pain, joy, and heartache has given me many lessons in life. Its hard for me to not have some kind of passion for it (and in no way or form is this crapping on any other area. I just love mines the most. sorry). So on July 4th, I stepped back and captured the many glimpses of life in the city, that inspired me and made me think about life in general. And now the adventures of this Kung Fu Chick named Ashleigh and yours truly....Lolita<3>

I told you New York wasn't full of pissed off people. Wherelse can you find people walking around with boards saying "free hugs"? And hey, I love hugs.

Diddy's Annual White Party!

Okay, I have not blogged in a minute. Hey what can I say...I have been a bit busy. Anywho, I saw these pics that Hot 97's MISSINFO posted from Diddy's annual white party. First off I would like to say that Lauren London looked absolutely adorable pregnant, and with such a beautiful glow. Amber Rose looked stunning. On another note, I have been hearing rumors that Amber Rose was kissing up on Chris Brown. Tisk Tisk. Another bad move for Breezy I think. So here are the pictures!

I do not care about any negative press Lil' Kim may recieve...I still like and her! Plus, although her dress pushes the realms of scandalous, it still looks great on her.

hmm is this before or after the kiss? I wonderrrrr

Envictus

I had almost forgot about the power of these words in this poem (my dad used to have me say it when I was little), but if these words were written across every persons heart...perhaps the rates of suicide would be less prevalent. Perhaps then, determination would be written on the faces of every child...

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever God may be from my unconquerable soul.
Under the fell clutch of circumstance,
my head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet,
the menace of the years finds, and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
or how charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the MASTER of my fate,
the CAPTAIN of my soul."

Life at times has an uncanny way or teaching us multiple lessons. Whether they are presented in small or large packages, gifts or obstacles, remain unbowed and motivated in your pursuit. At times we all are impacted whether negatively or positively by something or someone. Turn everything into a lesson. Learn from it and grow.

My personal lesson for myself today: Don't let nobody tell you who or what you are. No matter if they are friend or foe. There is a difference from giving a healthy critique or constantly saying something negative. Do not let the negativity move you. Remain unbowed.

xoxo,
The Captain of Her Soul, Lolita

Dear Mr. Pazant

Sorry my fellow readers and bloggers...although this is a little late, it is still incredibly important that I do this. I would like to wish a Happy Fathers day to every single father out there who understands what it means to be a FATHER, including the awesome single mothers who play both roles. However, I would like to give a special tribute to my father, Mr. Alvin B. Pazant: an educator in every field of life.

(In the picture above, my father top left and Uncle Edward, bottom right.) This man in more ways than one has been an inspirational figure in my life. I believe I get my drive and determination from him in many ways. He has impacted my life profoundly. He will always be that one man in my life that I know I will always be able to depend on. Now why else would i blog about my father? I consider this man to be a visionary in music. Its because of him that I grew up around old time funk music. It is because of him that I learned to play the clarinet. Both my father and uncle, passionate about music started a band called "The Pazant Brothers and The Beaufort Express." They came out with songs such as "Cold Sweat", "Superfunk", "Loose and Juicy", "Skunk Juice". You can check out their discography and musch on The Pazant Brothers, google them.

From conducting orchestras to simply educating me on the simple values of life, this man, Alvin Pazant could never be replaced.

Peace & Funk,
Lolita

"Best I Ever Had" Video Shoot

So Drake Talks about Kanye directing on the "Best I Ever Had" video. Personally, I must say, I think this video is going to be interesting. And guess who stopped by the video shoot? My fav girl Nicki Minaj! Not going to lie, I think this girl is BAD, straight out of Queens!I love women who are bold, tough and not afraid to say what others cannot. (Someone get me a Nicki Minaj poster!) Anywho, Weezy was on the set along with his girlfriend Shanell (as MissInfo reported), Common, Trey Songz and many others. The video was shot in Brooklynnnnn! (God, I want to get back to New York...I miss my girls, especially my girl Ashleigh, check out her awesome blog at http://kungfuproductions.blogspot.com/).

Presenting....EarthGang

Upon first hearing about EarthGang, I had never heard of their music. After doing some research on these men, I can say that I was more than presently surprised. When asking a few people about them, the common response was "They are DOPE!" After listening to some of their music, I can honestly say the same thing. These two young men from Atlanta, Georgia are definitely worth the blog post. Let's continue shall we?

EarthGang consists of two young men by the names of Johnny Venus and E. Hobbes who currently attend Hampton University. How did they form this awesome duo? In the words of J. Venus: "We went to the same high school and decided to create the Music Group EarthGang and under the shade tree out side of the school's complex. I think our styles contrastically compliment each other and our musical taste, which is all over the world from Duke Ellington to The Clash helps us stay well rounded. We're not your typical rap group or your "rap" group for that matter. We want our music to transcend genres, culture, and time. Alot of fellow artists we come into contact with can be very narrow sighted. Like their ambitions are to only take over the "rap" game or the U.S. We plan to effect the world not only through music but through film, art, literature; the whole nine." Not your typical "rap" group? Not in the least! Influenced by artists such as Prince, 3-6 Mafia, Queen, Wolfmother, UGK, Chicago, Gill Scott Heron, The Fugees and The Beatles (which are just to name a few), EarthGang brings the music world a refreshing and unique sound that I truly can say I am a witness to. When I first heard their song "EG Rock" I was happy to hear a different sound than the usual "Rap" flavor thats consistently being packaged and shown in the media everyday.

Why am I supporting EarthGang? The music industry is in dire need of talented and unique individuals with vision, and that is EarthGang. It is ashame when unique artists with a brave, new sound get swept under the rug for not conforming to the norms of the music industry. For these reasons I support EarthGang. They bring the music game the full package. Not to mention, I support the fellow goal oriented, African American man. There is probably alot more I could say, but I'm going to let their music speak for themselves. My personal fave..."Ms Evette" =]

To listen to some of the refreshing taste of EarthGang's music, visit their myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/earthgangheadbangtheory or simply click on the picture above. To download their song "EG Rock" click on this link: http://www.divshare.com/download/7446775-45b and to download their song "Ms. Evette" click on this link: http://www.divshare.com/download/7242854-628. I promise, you won't regret it. Oh and hey fellow tweople, you can follow Johnny Venus on twitter at http://twitter.com/JohnnyVenus. (Wooo, God bless the internet...)

Beautiful Body Art

When it comes to body art, specifically tattoos, its important that the specific body art you are getting means something to you. I personally have a fetish for body art and what can be created. It is just beautiful. I'm currently planning out a few things now. So, in my one last Gaga post for now, I finally get to see what exactly was the tattoo on her hip. It is too beautiful. The Lines and everything is perfect.

That Paparazzi Kind of Loveeeeee

They say, that love can drive you crazy. Love can drive a person to do crazy things. Love can quite possibly one of the most common psychological problems that go untreated. If that makes sense. (Anyway I Love this video..I LOVE LADY GAGA and her style. Anybody who loves me, knows to buy me some Lady Gaga posters or something).

Peace & Gaga,

Who is Euro P. Gold?

Euro P. Gold (William M. Drayton III) is a fellow college student from Hampton University who has found his passion in music and wishes for nothing more than express his creativity to the world by giving them something called "Mood Music". Where exactly did his idea of "Mood Music"come from? At the age of 15, Euro was reading an Article in “Scratch” magazine and was attracted to what one person (Kyambo “Hop-Hop” Joshua) said concerning "Mood Music": “It’s the kind of music that causes you to get out of your seat and walk towards the speakers. That’s what I want to achieve every time my music is heard.” Hence "Mood Music" the kind of music Euro wishes to supply his fellow music fiends with.

"I’m from Pa, right outside of Philly, so I’m addicted to that soul sound. I grew up on Gamble And Huff and Luther Vandross. In fact my mother ain't even let me listen to Rap growing up. I used to sneak tapes in my room and groove to them. I remember getting a beating in second grade for listing to In My Lifetime by Jay-Z” All of these incident and artists I grew up on get diffused throughout my music."-Euro P. Gold----

So fellow bloggers and readers, why Euro P. Gold? Well, its quite simple. I believe I find a slight inspiration in those who have found their true passion in life or a creative outlet that is their own form of objective truth. I have a slight admiration for those who are motivated and have aspirations all their own. As Euro said: "Low-key I’m addicted to this rap shit. Everyone has a vice, mines just happens to involve me expressing myself through prose and rhyme scheme. I'm just trying to be different from the masses. So many people try to be different now it’s starting to become a fad so I'm just finna be myself because that's naturally different from the masses." Why Euro P. Gold you ask? Well, music has a special place in my heart, and if this is a person trying to put that "feel" back in hip-hop that we've been missing, then Im going to support. Also, I have no problem supporting the fellow black man.

And hey, whaddyaknowww...Euro is a fellow blogger as well. You can check out his collective ideas, thoughts and inspiration just by clicking on the picture above.

Beat Box Skills

So the Mac Daddy Ira Hobbs wanted me to see this video of this girl beat boxing, and her skills are crazy. How do people do that? I have no idea. Nonetheless, it was still interesting to watch.

Jada Marie Theus<3

After what seemed like an eternity of schooling at Hampton University, spring semester, I was able to see how much my niece has grown! I love this little girl soo much. Jada Marie Theus<3

Lykke Li

Lykke Li. Her music and style of creativity has captured me for some time now. I have been hearing her music around, and figured it was time to put this young lady on my blog. You may have heard different mixes to her song "Little Bit". In fact, up and coming music artist Drake did a mix on her song Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson was born on March 18, 1986. This swedish indie pop singer released her debut album called Youth Novels in 2008. Her album was released in the United States on 6 May 2008. When asked what inspired her to make this album, she responds in saying that it was her past relationships and life lessons that inspired her. She truly seems like an artistic individual. Hopefully we can all hear more from this talented individual.
