T-Mobile Germany launched their new commercial. It was shot at Liverpool station in London . They used 400 dancers and 10 hidden cameras. No one but the station employees and dancers knew what was going on... it was aired on youtube and TV.

My cousin, Dorian is an artist based in the Bay Area. When she has her next opening, I will be sure to let my SF buds and readers know so youse can all meet this great dame and wildly talented artist. BFF, Cormac , I hope you and the missus can make it (no guilt, I promise). Dorian is tremendously talented, very unique and dark. Her work is soul food at its finest. See for yourselves right here and here . If you want, friend her on Facebook . While I'm on the subject of fine art and San Francisco artists, have you seen Freaky Jewelry's blog ? Her jewelry is as dark as it is whimsical and as distinctive as she is. You must run like a dawg. Each piece has a yarn. Check it out, yo! Love this broad's work and she is such a honey. PS: Liberality and Border Explorer , thanks for the ya know's . I will be posting this week.

WARNING: incoming non-sequiturs. Since Lou died, I have this habit of sleeping with everything on my bed. My laptop, in case I wake up with an idea. A small bottle of ginger ale, should I wake up neesh in the middle of the night for any reason. A bottle of 365 (Whore Foods H20, the only affordable product on their shelves), if I don't wake up neesh . A pill crusher, it's a just in case (I can't swallow pills). Tissues for the sneeze fest that commences the moment I arise, without fail. Whatever book(s) I'm reading, and my remote control... for the television. A heavy sweatshirt at the foot of my bed. And finally, my blackberry. What bed would be complete without a crackinberry? Even more strange, if I do wake up in the middle of the night, I wake up with the song "More than a woman" by the Bee-Gees, stuck in my head. Weird, right? It's been a surreal couple of weeks, hence my departure from blogging and such. I'm back now and in good spirits. My broth...

I really love this quote.

It isn't like me to dissapear without explanation for as long as I have.I will be back soon, next week, with lots of dish and such. I want to thank everyone for checking in, for being a friend and for your wonderful birthday wishes, etc. Don't break up with me. Thanks for being such a caring, fabulous, warm community. One I am so lucky to be a part of -- it matters and it means a lot to me, more than you know. Soon we will dish hard and I will be stalking your blogs. I wanted to thank you and assure you that I do have a pulse, quite a good one. XO Me

Betty Lavette & Jon Bon Jovi So beautiful... Took my breath away. I love, love, love Miss B-Lavette, such a goddess.

I wonder if there will ever be a day in my life when this performance doesn't bring me to tears, it's just so beautiful.
