Stone Rollin'

"To each his own & God for all!"*
Alo everybody! 

I know I'm a little late posting this but I had an awful  lot of work on my hands. It looks like I'll be moving to Jena this August for university and I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT! I haven't been to the city before but my mom, Charlotte and me will go on a trip, visit the university and take a look around the city in about two weeks (we still have to book everything...). I would have preferred a bigger city but Jena seems to be the only university offering the classes I want to attend - PLUS it is close to Prague and the costs for living are not THAT high. :-)
As you can imagine I have a lot to do with work, teaching, getting my stuff together, preparing myself for 2 1/2 new languages, getting my driver's license and in between trying to find time to visit my grandaunt in Canada. Let's see how that works out.

Anyways a couple of weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to go and see Raphael Saadiq - whom I ADORE - live & in concert. It was awesome. :-) I hadn't been to a concert in ages and it was definitely worth it. I love Saadiq and think that his new album is by far his best. The location (an old church) was bloody amazing! I was there with two friends and we just had a great time. Enjoy the pictures plus listen to some good music below - cause good ol' Raphael knows:

>> Listen, you don't call her fat but that girl is stacked
Now come on, she's got my mind
Everythin' is wide, she walk with much pride
Come on, she's got my mind
Top chef and cook with grandma's looks
Now come on, she's got my mind
There was no way to prepare, nothin' I could I see
All I saw was a woman walkin' up to me <<
 ;-)


Love & Peace to all!
Yours,
Lea.

* If you wanna know where this quote comes from watch M.I.A.'s BTS of her video 'Bad Girls' here.
 I might do an entry on this...

"Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well

My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio

Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
..hands up, hands tied..
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang"

Alo lovelies :) 

I hope you like my Make Up. I was bored and thought I post some pictures of it [Scroll down if you want to know what products I used]. Plus I thought they'd quite fit into the theme of this post...

Now to the important stuff ;) 

M.I.A. finally released her new single & the video for "Bad Girls". YES! Everyone who knows me, knows that I love me some M.I.A. 

I ADORE the video! Putting females in that clothes is more than provocative, so is the whole video in combination with the song and location its shot in. I know some peep won't get it anyways -.- 

She is the definition of a true BO$$! Plus: Doing your nails on top of a BMW driving on two f*cking wheels? I salute her!

This is hands down the most original and best video I've seen in A LONG TIME! 

I have never seen any artist adopt the Islamic culture like that. 

To quote Necole Bitchie:  

"Her crew of  animal-printed-burka-wearing boss chicks take control of a desert racetrack, and show the boys how to really ride out in a beamer on two wheels." [Read her article by clicking here]

 

The video was directed by Romain Gavras and filmed in Morocco. "Bad Girls" is from her forth album set to drop this summer. You should def go get it... I know I will.

Yours, Lea.

 All my friends tell me I should move on 

I'm lying in the ocean singing your song  

That's how you sang it  

Loving you forever can't be wrong 

Even though you're not here, won't move on  

That's how we played it
 

And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody  

It won't leave my head  

Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine  

But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  

No one compares to you 

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side  

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  

No one compares to you  

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
 

All my friends ask me why I stay strong  

Tell 'em when you find true love, it lives on  

That's why I stay here
 

And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody 

It won't leave my head  

Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine 

But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise  

No one compares to you I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side  

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 

  No one compares to you 

But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight

I don't want to wake up from this tonight    

I don't want to wake up from this tonight
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep  

And everybody's rushing me, but I can feel you touching me  

There's no release, I feel you in my dreams  

 Telling me I'm fine

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 

No one compares to you 

I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side 

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise 

No one compares to you 

But there's no you, except in my dreams tonight
