Free Music!

If any of you are fans of The Dream or just free music in general, here's a link to the singer's free internet album released yesterday as announced on his twitter page ( @MrTeriusNash)

The Dream's Latest Album Cover

The album, titled '1977' has 11 tracks which includes the standout "Wake Me When It's Over"

This latest effort from the self-proclaimed "Love King" also includes guest appearances from (not so) Big Sean, Pharrell Williams and an introduction to his new protege Casha (might this be the same Casha that was on Yung Berg's single "The Business" a few years back? Hmmmm)

Oh, and hurry! Apparently Def Jam records is not feeling Mr. Radio Killa's generosity. He said that they are trying to shut it down... 

Mid-Day Dance Break

...because you all know we need one.

Hope everyone reading this is having a great day. Let's all get down with our bad selves just because it's Wednesday! Do we need any other reason to celebrate?...Nope. Don't think so.

Check back for more posts this evening! :)

Smooth Groove

I love older men... especially ones with salt & pepper beards. They are my weakness.

My secret code name for attractive bearded older fellas is 'Smooth Groove.'

Damn Boy!...I mean, Sir

Please understand that not all older men that can grow facial hair are worthy of the Smooth Groove title. No. It takes much more than just being an old man with facial hair.

Being a smooth groove doesn't also mean that you have to have a beard (although, a well groomed beard is an advantage in my book)

It's all about the way one carries himself; like a majestic master of the universe. He's well versed in the art that is life because he's lived it. He's mellow and a good listener. He can suggest the perfect wine for dinner and can wear the hell out of a linen shirt.

His taste is refined and his passport is well stamped.

So I raise this glass of light pinot noir while listening to the enchanting sounds of Phyllis Hyman and I salute you Mr. Smooth Groove.

Faux Minx Fetish

We're all familiar with Minx nails... adorned by everyone from Beyonce to Keri Hilson and Rihanna. Maybe even you if you were on top of your nail trend game a couple of years ago (Pin a rose on your nose *rolls eyes*)

Like any other product loving girly girl (and deranged pop culture groupie) I sashayed down to this exclusive nail salon to get my nails Minx-tafied... because I couldn't live another day until my nails were solid gold! Well when that receptionist told me that it would cost $75 my whole dead broke life flashed before my eyes. 

So with my hopes and dreams of solid gold glory crushed, I went back to old faithful... Sally Hansen. 

It can pretty much be counted on that whenever there is a popular high-end nail trend, Sally Hansen isn't too far behind with a more affordable version.

I adore the Sally Hansen Salon Effects strips. They have a lot of the cool colors and graphics that are offered by Minx at a fraction of the price. 

You have to take your time and make sure you place the adhesives on your nails neatly, but after the first two or three times, you'll become a pro. They also last for about 5-7 without any chipping (10 if you're a mannequin)

My hand with the "Kitty" design

'Scrawberry'...

I'll never forgive myself for laughing so hard when Charlamagne from the Power 105 morning show in New York called her "the face of the young struggle" to her face!


Maybe posting this video and saying that she's actually a decent rapper will keep me from having a seat next to his in Hell... *fingers crossed*

Mmmmm...Dylan McKay

I've always had a thing for the older bad boy type, and my five year old self had the fever for West Beverly's own Dylan McKay.

Those smoldering features with the James Dean inspired style and pompadour made him the nighttime fantasy of myself and millions of other fresh little hussies around the world.

He was cool because he didn't try to be (Poor David...bless his little Hip Hop heart)
He was "the man" but didn't step on anyone's toes to be that (props to Brandon)
At some point or another he had all the ladies (except for Donna and Andrea...Hags)
Sure he had his fair share of ups and downs (that heroin addiction was bad business, but we still loved you)

The older I get, and the more old episodes of 90210 that I catch in syndication, I realize that Brandon Walsh was the more ideal boyfriend type. But do we ever want the safe, dependable, good guy with the good head on his shoulders and the bright future ahead of him?... Hell no.

We want the trust issues having, commitment-phobes that end up sleeping with our best friend and will find some way to blame us for it...and you know what? We take it.

Oh my, how I've digressed!...

So here's to you Dylan McKay, for being one of the first to influence my taste in the guys that were all wrong for me and my sensitive little heart.

Somewhere in the world there's a bunch of Brendas and Kellys (I fancy myself to be the Brenda type #TeamMoodyEmotionalSelfishBitch woohoo!!) that will always hold a place in our hearts for you. Whether that place is connected with love or hate is debatable, but I do know that we'll never forget you.

REVAMP...

Hey there!

It's been too long... that's unacceptable. (My bad) In fact, I apologize for never consistently keeping this updated. But alas, you're out there and you're reading this (Google Analytics. It don't lie baby)

I owe it to you to keep this janky little blog updated and interesting, ALL of the time not just some. I really owe it to me, but we'll just say it's for you, that's cute right?

So I'm revamping this sucka. My original intent for creating Dead Broke Bourgeoisie was to do what I love (write) and talk about the things that I'm passionate about (music, food, fashion, life.) Some of my posts have accomplished that task, others have fallen to the wayside of boredom highway.

It takes great diligence and discipline to blog about something new everyday but it should be fun, not a chore. I'm ready to let go of my inhibitions, like being fearful of making a fool of my self, and have some fun with this *ish!

Some posts will be deleted, others will stay and the visuals will be overhauled. (Give my little pea-brain some time to figure out how to do that) 

I see you Japan, UK, Australia, Netherlands, Trinidad & Tobago! *waves Hi*

If you've stumbled upon my page by accident, Welcome! If you keep coming back in hopes of any updated posts, Sorry!...I'm here. I'm yours. I will be a slave to blog post writing. Enjoy :)
