| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| The Thicke-ness. |
| Monday, April 03, 2006 |
 Are y'all hip to this cat? He's definitely coming into his own with a voice that oozes some of the sweetest, hippest, coolest blue-eyed sizzoul I've heard in a long time.
That last name might look a bit familiar. That's because his pops is 80's sitcom star Alan Thicke...
 ...best remembered from the popular television show, Growing Pains.
I happened to be channel-surfing one night about a month, month-and-a-half ago, and caught him on the The Tonight Show performing a song called "Shooter" with Lil Wayne.
 The song was bangin'. Thicke's vocals were so smooth, I was like, "WTF???? Who are YOU?????"
N-E-way...now I know who he is, and I definitely won't be sleeping on him anymore. And neither should you.
 And he's mad yummy, while you're bullsh*ttn'. He's signed to Pharrell Williams' label, Star Trak Entertainment, so I'm sure there's more hotness to come. His new cd, The Evolution of Robin Thicke...
 ...will be dropping soon. It's definitely worth peeping, just for the songs I've heard thus far. The single, Wanna Love You Girl, featuring Pharrell, has already been getting much play on the major music channels.
 Take note of his butter-smooth voice. He definitely brings it. Gotta give him his props. For real. I'm talking dude's on some Marvin Gaye/Maxwell shizz. You'll see what I mean on this song, Lost Without You.

And just in case you're craving more when that song's finished (and you will be), here's the sleek, sexy video for Wanna Love You Girl. Enjoy!!!

Oh, what the hell...let's make it a concert. Here's Shooter. You don't even understand how hot this one is. It's actually best listened to with your speakers up loud or through a headset/earbuds. You will be nodding ya head to it, trust. You might even find yourself singing along before it's all said sung and done. ("My hands up, my hands up, they want me with my hands up...")

i saw the video/song last week. not bad....i thought it was jon b, er, because...uhhh, i forgot what he looked like. lol
-
LOL. I've been waiting for the Jon B/Justin Timberlake comments. This kid's got something, though. Something extra. He's definitely the real deal.
-
if he just be himself, sans the doo-rag and trying to look down. i think he'll sell himself. when you got the quality of voice, just be yourself.
take for instance....christina aguilera. at first, they had her competing against britney spears with dumb dance routines, having her looking all crazy. but her talents FAR OUTSHINES nit-wit-brit!!!!
if you've heard her on the herbie hancock's latest cd, single "a song for you" (the donnie hathaway classic; gotta give props to donnie, y'all). totally blows it away.
