My Birthday at Karaoke Duet

Marisa and Chloe (circa November 2008) my 22nd birthday celebration

 I want to actually share a little of my life with you also. So on a lighter note. I am gonna put a few pictures of Miss Chloe's 22nd birthday for all of you. I celebrated the big 22 at this really cool place that I think you would all love it's really affordable, fun, and you get a private room as well. The place is called "Karaoke Duet 48" it's located in the city on 48th street and second ave in the oh so fabulous, expensive, and busy Midtown Manhattan. If you are a lover of music and you want to pretend to be a celebrity for a minute you should definitely go and bring all of your friends with you. My little crew and I had a lot of fun we were rockin' out to oldies and new songs. Some of my chicas, Karen and Marisa were doing a beautiful rendition of "No Scrubs" dedicating it to all the young men who are unemployed, no transportation, and always trying to front. I had to sing one of my favorite songs "Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z, "No One" by Alicia Keys, and "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. So we had a lot of fun cause I actually was performing with an umbrella while I sang Umbrella. LOLZ!! So yeah my birthday was fun I had a great time. I wore a black dress with my fishnets, and brand new suede black boots. I had a beautiful chocolate cake and of course I had a little to drink. Shout to "K-Dog"! for the cosmo. We are sooo like the ladies from "Sex and the City". So now I am an old fart LOLZ. No I am not I am lying I am still young. Lolz

Messages with Empowerment in Songs

A follow up post to my first post about female empowerment in songs. The song "Superwoman" by Alicia Keys from her album "As I Am". "Superwoman" is a song I believe that it has a message that can help women in times of need. Whenever you have had a long day or you need a little pick me up. This song has a positive message that can help women to have more confidence. No this song doesn't have a similar theme to the other songs. About how men treat women sometimes. It's more of a song of encouragement to those who raise children, those who face many challenges physically, mentally, and emotionally. Also those who go through any stressful times. It's a song to uplift your spirit and I recommend that if you haven't heard it on the radio, the internet, or your friend's ipods, itouchs, or i-phones. Listen to the song you can dedicate to your mother,friends, sisters, cousins, aunts, nieces, girlfriend,or your wife. "Superwoman" will help bring out the fighter in you and help you fight all the battles or problems that come against you.

Songs with message about female empowerment

I was listening to some new music from Beyonce on the radio and it occurred to me that there is a new theme in music now. Beyonce's new single "If I were a Boy" and her second hit "Single Ladies" both seem to have a reoccurring theme. The song "If I were a boy" is very reminiscent of "Like a Boy" by pop/ crunk and b star, Ciara. The songs have a similar message. You get hurt and your scorned yet you would rather be a boy or man to make him feel the same pain you do when you deal with him and what they cause you to go through. It's interesting that women now want to become men or have that type of control. Both women have a similar take and outlook women should feel empowerment and strength. I believe they are right but why would want to be a man when you can actually just be yourself and still get some revenge as well.
