Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

Truly a tribute to the holding power of Aqua-Net! Shout out to my peeps, my Crunchy Brown, my soul-sista and partner in crime, Monica aka "Alice" Wihongi. Love that crazy girl.

Ellen... Feeling De "Generous"?

I hope the people from the "Ellen" show know that this little skit is but an homage to her comedy (you don't need to watch the whole thing, but the intro will give you the flavor for my general efforts). I was supposed to dance OVER the coffee table as is Ellen's custom. However, the table the crew had procured was WAAAAY to wide for my stance and the bowl of fresh flowers was a last-minute addition. The result: I got stuck midway across, splashed water from the bowl all over my crotch, and ended up with purple bruises lining both calves for the attempt. Worth it? Every second! (Can you hear the crowd? How could I not keep going?)

Inhibitions, Be Gone!

Just finished up an extraordinary, exhausting, whirlwind, fabbalus week in Washington, D.C., at Close To My Heart's annual convention. From shaking my booty as one of "The Scrappin' Ladies," to my flip 'do as Carol Brady, to my table-dancing skills as Ellen, I have officially established myself as one liberated from any illusions of respectability. AND WAS IT EVER FUN.

If you want to take a peek at the real me, check out one of these clips, posted to YouTube during our general sessions at Convention by our techno-savvy Consultants. They're the best in the world, and the reason my job is the best in the world. Crazy how it works like that. I'll post the others in a sec. Once I figure out how! :)
