I adore her and actually spent like 2 months listening to 'Tyrone' every day after a break-up. I love the way she says "move your SHIT". I think she's fucking nuts, love that about her.

Of the last six or so different looks she's had in the last few years, this is pretty toned down. Still, it's not as bad what's happened to Lauryn Hill.

Love her. She looks fabulous. I can't wait for her album. Is it out? I knew she had one coming in 08 but I didn't hear when.

Those are YSL shoes that I was saving up for by eating non-organic foods. I didn't get it because according to YSL and Pilati, black women don't look good in their things. Well, black models but I'm guessing regular black women

sarahchirp — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 23:32:39 EST

The best thing about this hair is that it's a wig (watch Dave Chapelle's Block Party, you'll see). It's not like she's all "I'm going au natural and embracing my kinky hair," but she's like "I want the biggest, batshittiest fro in existence, make it to fit my head."

New album! Love! So happy. I listened to Mama's Gun until I could recite it, and listen to WW Underground when I can't sleep, even though everyone hated it when it came out.

Ever since Lauryn Hill degenerated into weird MySpace wars with one of the Marley offspring and random espousing of white people hated, Erykah's like my one neo-soul friend...

What is up with that tiny strap near the toe of her platform pump? It looks like a little belt around her foot, surely it's not part of the shoe(?)

In other news, I love me some Badu. 'Bag Lady' is so chill to listen to when I need to unwind. And in my house, a little Badu goes well with the Chappelle.

By far my favorite entertainer. She is really holding it down, and has been making groundbreaking music for 10+ years. For those of you not familiar, give a few of her discs a spin. You won't regret it. Erykah = LOVE!
