Do It To The Music

Get movin, get groovin,

Come on everybody do it (with feeling!)

That’s the perfect production sound of Raw Silk, not to be confused with Raw Satin, which are Ann Margret’s back up dancers. (cheek suck with eyebrow lift.)

The group consisted of two Crown Heights Affair members, Ron Dean Miller and Bert Reid, and three female vocalists Jessica Cleaves, Sybil Thomas, Tenita Jordan.

The memories consist of Sister Dimension looking down from above teaching us, Lady Kier with extremely short hair and Bunny suddenly becoming very serious about dancing to this rare groove. We studied hard. We learned.

At The Library

“Like, back in the day.”

“Yeah, like all the way back.”

“Creativity is the opposite of fear?”

“No, fear is the Opposite of love.”

“Oh right.”

Hi P.

The shadow of your urn.

That was the King Sisters. Thank you Luise, Alyce, Donna and Yvonne.

I would like to wrap this room in cellophane.

“Excuse me, where are the books?”

Step out and see some Finger Lights

City Lights, 12″ version- William Pitt

Rodney gave me a set of fingerlights for Xmas. They’re fun for private light shows on the ceiling before bed. Get ’em at Target.

Swearin’ To God

This has been playing everyday since New Year’s eve. Finding this LOOONG version was not easy. Take it! take it now… put it on your ipod or your flash drive or your portable media center in your Lexus or where ever you need it to be. It is, of course Frankie Valli “mais sans les quatre saisons.” It is considered one of the great examples of “Commercial Style DIsco.” Sometimes you need that. Sometimes you need to get over yourself and let it swish around. If you are practicing to be a Stay at Home Model then this track should be considered homework for your “Modeling American Sportswear” class. Diane Dewitt said to me once, “If there’s a pocket, use it.”

More on “Stay at Home Modeling” soon…
