| 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 (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| 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. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. 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 and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Which is why I figured maybe listening to a little Outkast might distract us from the awful drama in the Middle East, if but for just a moment.
Here's the trailer for their upcoming, much-hyped film, Idlewild...
 ...which hits theaters on August 25th.
And here's the video to the song, "Morris Brown," from the film and the album Idlewild...
 ...which arrives on August 22nd. I love this joint. I've been rocking it ever since I first heard it a few weeks ago. Enjoy!!

When I saw the title of this post, my mind immediately went to Outkast (Make Love, Not War). Thanks for the clip and the music. Looks like a great movie. Some of the scenes remind me of the movie, Life, with the cabaret set up and the bootleg liquor. The Boom Boom Room turns into The Church, good way to spin it. The movie looks like it will be good, especially for their acting careers. I'll definitely check it out.

Okay, so this is another movie I'l see this summer -- that will probably make three for the whole year so far.
I am actually feeling Macy Gray these days -- she's crazy as a road lizard but she doing her thing in the acting.
I got to give Outkast credit for "revamping" and "renewing"-- their single reminds me too much of Cab Calloway and this video is feeling very much like Pee Wee's Playhouse but imitation aside, I am feeling both and will go and see the movie. I'll take my 16 years old to give my old behind an excuse for sitting up in their with all dem hip hop headz.
