Power Play

"Givin' Him Somethin' He Can Feel" - En Vogue

Of all the songs I remember most, this by far is my favorite. It lets me know that as "powerful" as men may think they can be, the true sensual power of a woman can throw them off their game just as quickly as they tried to play 'em.


En Vogue's music video said it all. Check it out:



Dressed in sexy red dresses and long, black gloves, four sultry ladies take the stage to perform for an overly-heated male audience. They don't strip, they barely lose a glove! But yet their "tease" drive the men crazy as they squirm in their seats, drinking ice-cold water, loosening their ties, unbuttoning their top collar and even hiding their damn rings!

I know that as opinionated as I am, this may come off as surprising that I don't consider this slutty. Why is this ok when technically it shows women as the "eye candy?" Well, it's all in the packaging and presentation. Yes, the women may be the performers, but it's the men who are putting on the show. They're reacting to what they see and surrendering themselves in hopes that the women will notice them. It could be a look, a wink, or a smile, but whatever it is the men fall for it and stay putty in their hands. This in turn, gives complete control and of course, full attention to the women. And this is definitely my kinda power play.

Lyrics:

Many say that I'm too young
To let you know just where I'm coming from
But you will see, it's just a matter of time
My love will surely make you mine

Well, I'm livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone seem so uptight
But nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on with my man
People out there can understand

I'm givin' him somethin' he can feel
To let him know this love is real
Givin' him somethin' he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real

So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true
You tell me what does it mean

Livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His lovin' will send me on and on with my man
People out there can you understand

Givin' him somethin' he can feel
To let him know this love is real
Givin' him somethin' he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real

Givin' him somethin' he can feel
Givin' him somethin' he can feel
Givin' him somethin' he can feel

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
