“YOU MAKE THE CUTEST WEST INDIAN NANNY”
-ELLE CLAY (April 2010)

for those of you who might not get that joke, it is very common in NEW YORK CITY to hire WEST INDIAN women to care for your children. i was unaware of that fact when i first moved to NYC and assumed all these women of color had just adopted these cute white kids.

I didn’t know you were someone’s godmother, my godmother abandoned me oh so many years ago…

Great, now i’m crying.

-MICHAEL “MIKEY” POSILLICO (3/29/10)

*i’m positive the entire english-speaking world by now (post BIGGIE) realizes that “conversate” isn’t a word…which is why i chose to change the category of “conversations” (checked below) to “conversate”. it’s funny. — thank you very much and have a nice day!

i was in DUANE READE minding my own business when i saw the cover of one of those gossip magazines talking about SHILOH and how she’s a cross dresser. i didn’t know if i was stoked on her young rebelliousness or freaked out about how bad she looked as a little man. i’m all for creative freedom, but come on now – you better bring it or you lose points.

happy PURIM to my JEW BOO’S! the holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the JEWISH people form the PERSIAN EMPIRE. i was first told about this holiday by some ISRAELI friends in art school at SVA. apparently, my name VASHTIE is related to QUEEN VASHTI who can be found in the BOOK OF ESTHER in the bible – although, i am not named after her.

as the story goes (or how it’s usually interpreted) QUEEN VASHTI was married to KING AHASUERUS (king of PERSIA) and he liked to show off her beauty to the people. one night he called for her to show her beauty (naked), she declined and he replaced her with QUEEN ESTHER.

to some she is a HEROINE and to others she is just the trailer before QUEEN ESTHER came in and stole the show.

KING SOLOMON, my jewish hubby, just reminded me! he got that nickname of “husband” because when i lived with his best friend KUNLE, he would come over and order me around to make him food or get him a beverage! those were the days!

++++++++++

KING SOLOMON: today is your holiday

ME: what holiday? PURIM?

KINGSOLOMON: yes fool. you are a disgrace to your namesake! it’s the only JEW-DAY you should keep track of.

ME: you’re a bad jewish hubby! you didn’t remind me. i’m dressed in costume and spinning my ra’ashan! are you and your brothers fam-a-lam doing it up?

KING SOLOMON: yes…everyone except me is super drunk. my brother is wearing a top hat. levelz.

ME: hahahaha! dope. well, i’m sober too…so, MAZELTOV!

“HOME FOR PURIM” from “FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION”…hilarity at it’s best! (corrected!)

yes, i changed the category of “CONVERSATIONS” to “CONVERSATE”…just because, “conversate for a few…” might be the best error in hip hop!

the new COOL KIDS music is too cool for school! CHUCK is a beat making monster that could really overthrow some notable producers. i’m excited for their new project and hope to be working with them on some magnificent visuals!

*not a staring contest, but a mean mugging rap face contest. i think he won. i just looked like a scared lady on the elevator thinking he about to rob my purse from canal street.

he doesn’t like cats, but he tolerates VLADIMIR because he’s mine and because he’s a hood dude.

RAUL: how’s VLADIQUEER

ME: he’s good, you bitch

RAUL: he looks like foxy brown with that coat, he’s banjee like that

kitty might be living in the EAST VILLAGE, eating organic and using the toilet – but, he is STRAIGHT.
