I Did It Myself (Video)

I guess I've been a D.I.Y artists for a long time. Instead of looking at it as a bad thing, I decided to just run with it. You saw the 'trailer' that I put up, now here's the music video.

I shot it on a Saturday afternoon a few months ago. There was drama (boo hoo). Now here it is. I really do like what Das Kapital did with this remix. And I'm proud of Ms Marcee for shooting this on a BlackaBerry (9900). Sometimes when you don't have a million Rand you have to improvise.



Enjoy!

D.I.Y Porcelain

Do. It. Yourself

I've been quiet for a while because I've been writing (songs), reading this month's books (3 of them) and living. I've also been trying to figure out how to make this album release as painless as possible. 3 months ago I shot a music video for the Das Kapital remix of 'Today is the Day'. I kept making promises to upload it but... Nothing happened. Well here is a video explaining my woes.




What's the point of doing this is if I can't have fun? I honestly got so caught up in what wasn't being done, that I forgot that I can ALWAYS DO something about my situation.

Oh sheeeeiiiiit!!!

Music video tings 2

 Last weekend we shot the second and last part of the music video by the eager students :)

We shot it at the African Music Store on Long Street and it was all fun and games. I don't mind getting dressed up and pretending for a day. There is so much amazing music available at that store. It is a pity that the store was closed, so I couldn't buy anything. But I'm definitely going back to pick up a few Stimela albums and definitely some Femi as well.

I will post the music video as soon as the young minds are done with it... Which should be pretty soon. Yay!!

Where are they?

Holiday Needed

I have never been on holiday in my life. I don't mean it in the 'Beyonce takes a year off from her busy schedule' sense. I mean I have never packed my bags and gone somewhere to enjoy the sites etc. Visiting my parents and family in Soweto doesn't count ha haha.

I NEED to GO on HOLIDAY. You hear me universe and Grand Organised Design? I NEED to GO on HOLIDAY!

Running Stuff

I may have never mentioned this before, but I have always been useless at 'physical' stuff. At school the teachers didn't even bother to try and get me involved because I was a 'creative' kid. So I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that I can run. Not only that... But I also enjoy running.

Marcee was the one who used to drag me to the promenade and ask me to just try. Recently she decided to run a race with @alambchop & @bohoparadox. A few days before the race she was starting to get nervous, so I offered to run the race with her. We both entered the 5km race, with no real training and finished in under 40 mins. Not bad at all :)

It was apparently so good that we may very well start training and do the Gun Run (10km). Eeeeekk!

The beautiful and inspirational Marcee

Running makes me pull weird faces

That's what I did this weekend :)

O.M.G!! Avengers!!!

My inner little boy is doing cartwheels right now. I cannot contain my excitement right now *insert scream here*

I scare myself

Its been a while since I posted on The Journey. My apologies, family stuff got in the way and being part of a 2 woman label means work is definitely affected. I'm back and ready to share.

Last year I decided that it was important to do something that scares me everyday. I lived a life ruled by fear and that seemed like the only way to learn to live with fear. I don't think fear ever goes away, you just need to learn to not let it run your life.So everyday I do at least one scary thing. I found that I'm actually getting tougher by scaring myself everyday ha ha ha.

Anyway... I am working on something big-ish for the album and it needs to be completed in 16 days. By now you know that I am very ambitious and that I like to traumatise myself with big scary tasks. This is one of them. I can't say now what it is, because there are other people involved and I don't wanna take way the 'SURPRISE' moment.

So I may be quiet-ER than usual for the next 16 days. 2 woman label work has just gotten EXTRA intense. I need to get this done and then I can announce my other BEEG surprise. So many exciting things coming up, Yaaaaayyy!!

Wearing my Today is the Day shirt and look extra excited for my next 2 releases for the album

Later Days. Porcelain. Out.

Couldn't resist

Say it aint so!

Its been getting a little cold in the evenings and I think it means Summer is about to leave. Nooooooo!!! I'm gonna miss you Summer, you have been the best one yet. This is what I'm going to miss about you Summer:

Having my toes out and feeling the sand in my shoes

Wearing pretty shoes and showing my legs every once in a while

impromptu braais

Having drinks at Dunes with my happy-smiley-sunny-wearing-Marcee

Dont know why this pic wont rotate, but I will miss finding new places to have sundowners

Spirit fingers and showing mah legs some more

Aaaaah Summer. Lets make the most of our last few days together.

Way back when (Falling)

Let me just say that this is the first time I hear this bizarre rap at the beginning of the song. I prefer to original. Montell Jordan was everything. 90's RnB was my stuff man. I had THE BIGGEST crush on Montell lmbao.

I love cake, but....

I love the site Cake Wrecks even more. I used to be a regular a few years ago and then I sort of forgot about. I rediscovered it today when I went to disable comments from my old blog (damn spammers are a nuisance).

Well Marcee and I had a good time with these Super Bowl wrecks. I know nothing about the sport but I thoroughly enjoyed  the cake wrecks. They totally cheered me up

I could spend all day just looking at all the cake wrecks. Try it out :)

I kinda like Curly Harp Lee ha ha ha.

They WHAT?!

This hangs in the ladies bathroom of one of my favourite restaurants (don't judge me, its a lovely place despite what they hang in the bathrooms). The first time I read it I was like 'women who do WHAT?!'.
