I Aint Never Scared!

Saturday nite- I painted my toenails HOT pink and embellished them with rhinestones. I greased up my legs w/ liquid bronzer - sucked in my stomach and cranked my bra straps up a few notches. Earlier in the day I had given myself a killer blow out so my hair was fierce. I recently colored it an extremely deep burgundy red and when the light shines off of my dome - I enjoy many compliments:) I generously applied a layer of MAC lipglass - and I was rocking the 2 1/2″ heels so you know I was looking like an eclectic Amazon in all of her glory. Narcissism at its finest.

The funny thing about is- I really wasn’t going anywhere extra special. I just felt the need to get jazzy w/ it. I hadn’t been out for awhile so I decided to hit up one of my favorite lil’ spots call THE RED SEA. It’s not a major club, rather a restaurant/bar/juke joint. But I love the music and it’s one of those places where I can go and feel comfortable. Ya know?

Armed with colorful language and charming personality - I stabbed out into the nite solo. I was smoking one of them funny cigarettes that I enjoy so much. I came - I entered - I got tore back off of the Hennessy and Hypnotic . . . Red Alize and Heinekens. Then the D.J. got to playing Bone Crushers - “I Aint Never Scared.” Too much liqour and Bone Crusher creates potential for someone to get hurt up real, real bad. People get a little bit too pumped up and forget it’s just a song. It’s a deadly combination, roughly compared to a Eminem and 50 Cent concert in Detroit. Aight!

Have you ever seen a stripper with dreads? I hadn’t, until the other night. She doesn’t work for the RED SEA but she was pretending to be a hired “go-go” girl. She was working it and twirking it. She was breaking it down on the stage and letting everyone see her thong -thong -thong -thong -thong! WHOA! But who am I judge? It was funny though!

So, I came alone - but I hooked up with some of the homeboys and we decided to ditch the RED SEA and head over another joint named the DINKYTOWNER (because it’s located in a area called DINKY TOWN). And that’s where i stumbled onto something lovely.

Unbeknownst to me - JESSICA CARE MOORE was in town to do a show @ the University Of Minnesota. Afterwards, she graciously came on down to the DINKYTOWNER to do a live set w/ her band and some other cats. She was gripping the mic -sporting NEON pink ADDIAS - terry cloth wrist bands - ripping shyt like a militant Power Puff Girl. She was DOPE! And I was glad I fell off into the spot, right on time.

Jessica Care Moore has worked with literary and musical artists Nas, Ossie Davis, Mos Def, Gregory Hines, CeCe Winans, Anthony David, Roy Ayers, Gil Scott Herron, Sonia Sanchez, Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, Patrice Rushen, Nikki Giovanni, The Last Poets and many more. She is one of the returning stars of the new HBO Series Russell Simmons presents: Def Poetry Jam and has been featured on BET’s, NYLA, The Ed Gordan Show, Teen Summit, The Today Show, and many more.

Fortunately for me, I had my cheap Target brand disposable camera. I must’ve got to snappin’ photos while she was performing. I got a few pics of her band too. When she finished her set, I approached her and asked her could I get one more pic (one of her not performing). But being the typical woman, she said she didn’t want to take any pictures because “her hair is fucked up”. lol! She was real cool. Since I’m not the stalker type, so I didn’t stay up in her grill all night, but she did tell me to email her the pictures I took when they are ready.

I’ll make sure to post them on Saucy Dame too.

I slept all day Sunday.

Um . . . Bone Crusher & Biz Markie w/ no shirt on = NOT CUTE.
