Before there was Bananarama, there was Shocking Blue.  I may not be speaking your language.  No matter.  Great music, either.  Venus.  Girl Power.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

I am pretty upset about when Beyoncé's earring got ripped off her ear as she sang and danced at a New York City concert.   I mean, I know there is more important news?   But I just can't get that picture out of my head!   I can't un-see it.   Remember?   It was October scary!   "As blood started to drip down her earlobe, Beyoncé wiped her ear and continued performing..."    Girl's gotta do ---   story

PUMP UP THE VOLUME

I'm back!  Generally the day after vacation consists of a massive amount of laundry, and a desire to lose five (gloriously earned) pounds.  And this Day-After-Vacation was no different.   Luckily Nike's new ad campaign got me headed right to Zumba class.  Does it inspire you too?

GIRL POWER

I generally like my cash money  --coins, chocolate with gold foil around them.  But I'm also okay with paper note $20 bills, with Harriet Tubman pictured.  "Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson lived on opposite sides of the American experience. . . .  Tubman, a black woman, escaped slavery to become a conductor on the Underground Railroad, risking her life to lead slaves to freedom.    news
