I made this for a close friend. I believe the genesis of our friendship was a sarcastic joke he made involving watermelons.
Janelle Monáe is one Electric Lady. I got to hear her song by that title at the Afro Punk Festival last August, and since then, I’ve been stupidly giddy waiting to hear her new album.
Everything about Janelle is captivating: her rich voice, her bold style, her funky dancing, her soulful music, her inventive storytelling, and her daring drive to be different. I am completely smitten with this talented artist.
A little belated Birthday thing I did for my friend, Bernadette, who I didn’t know was on tumblr until today.
