Many Moons

by Janelle Monáe: I was reminded of this extremely talented artist last night when I watched I Want to Work for Diddy finale. I previously heard her name, but never heard anything else about her or heard any of her music. Something caught my eye about her last night…not that she is a beautiful Black woman nor that she is on Diddy’s label nor that she wears a stylish sophisticated mohawk, but that she wears black and white oxford saddle shoes. I LOVE the shoes! Like, I want to go get some. I vaguely remember wearing some as a child, and I want some now! Trying to gain more knowledge about Janelle, I saw this recently released video and I LOVE this too! She has a unique magnetic attraction that will draw in all races and all types of music lovers. I view her as a young, female version of Andre 3k. Check out the video and watch for the moonwalk. She also does it moving forward (4:12)! Diddy struck gold with this one!
