FUNKY FRESH 2 DEAF... JUST COZ

Symphonic, melodic, tempo beat idiodic....
its starts off with an old skool sega beat followed by an infectious synthesized chorus "i love video, i love video, i love games..."

JUST COZ, the eclectic hip rock duo from Houston texas, is infecting ears like a bad case of swine flu... Wil Wayne and Rodrick Vaughn are a charming collabo that leave you with an unexpected twist... something to listen too!


they kind of remind me of pop ice poscicles, with blue curaco shots, fried chicken, and those oversized boomboxes (with a soda on the side)... and dont forget those oldschool bright yellow sony walkman's (yall know what im talking about"

It doesnt matter if it's BLACK or WHITE...

All i can say is AMAZING... for anyone who had had to deal with having oily sensitive skin, and the result of it has caused your nasty cousins to come in town on your face (aka blackheads) then here is the perfect way to get rid of them!!!!

to educate all my fabulous-faced friends, we have a regular skin cycle that rejuvenates itself every 30 to 60 days (depending on your age) and in that time, your sebaceous glands (if that is even how you spell it) produce natural oils on your face that keep your skin moisturized (aka your natural oil, or for some your "Love juices") and for some people there is an over production of "love juices" which causes the oil to block up in your pores (known as whiteheads) which then in turn become oxidized by the exposure of oxygen to the skin surface. This causes them to hardened and turn black which causes these annoying hard black tiny zits (or enlarged pores) known as black heads. With out removing this "gifts" they can keep your pores clogged, causing more breakouts and harbor dirt...

erdicate these Devils! now there are many ways to extract black heads, but if you clean your face daily, and exfoliate at least every three days, you remove these dead skin cells, and clean out your pores... but even with daily cleaning, and using cleansers with glycolic and salycilic acid is not enough. Dr. Brandt (God bless the french!) has formulated a product that is that extra aide in getting rid of those black heads... IT's new and it works. you can get it at your nearest SEPHORA retailer or www.sephora.com or www.Drbrandt.com

keep your cheeks cheeky, and your chiny chin chin purrrrrrrrrrrfect...

The Art of Couture... Jenius ART

Greetings all
I have been finding a release method to emerge my self back into my Post-Basquiat-ism...Taking a new leaf to deal with the stressors of life... I advise anyone who has an extra nerve that is being worked to really take up painting! I took it up again, and it has been my new heroin! (im addicted! well actually i have been quite lazy, but when im on a kick, i cant be stopped!) check out some of my current work that im working on... whatchu think!



"FreeBird" by karyn jenius 09
this signifies my freedom from my trials, the black represents the tar that has tainted and kept me in my own self prision brought upon by hurts in life... The gold represents a break in the prision as a sense of resiliancy, a new light, where as the contrasting green and pink represent my freedom from conformity by mixing two color completely opposite in the color chart as my vow to never be conformed to culture, society, or personal constraints... the bird signifies flight and freedom... I guess utimately life is full of trials but if you dont learn from them, you become the very ugly thing that has hurt you... so you have to let go, and move on! (but this is still incomplete, look for finshed product.)


"Heart Broken" by karyn jenius 09

self explanitory.. but its not meant to be a woe is me, its pushing mixed media with repeated images shaped in a heart. The red, orange, and yellow are warm/fire colors, representing my passion to love hard (and sometimes too hard!) and the middle immage is me, cause the we are the ones who hurt ourseleves the most.




"Male Ego" by karyn jenius 09 (incomplete)

this is my raw draft of this painting, i am painting it to represent the fragile state of man, and that men normally dont know how to deal with their emotions. I have learned that the male ego is the most fragile thing in the world, and when pride is bruised and broken, a man's heart can often be hardened.

look out for finished version, on exhibit soon!

chasing yesterday... trying to catch tommorow.

Tommorow is Easter *rolls eyes* yippie yay. Well I never been one for holidays, other than I get to be off for work,and in fact its too the point I'm even forgetting the holidays are here. I didn't even know yesterday was good friday, and valentines day I was in New york and didn't realize it was V day till 10 pm when the bellhop said "happy valentines miss".
I don't even like christmas and thanksgiving, but I think primarily that has to do with those holidays forced me to be with my family and we don't get along at all! (So imagine christmas never getting gifts lol) but on top of observing these "religious" holidays, I figured if I was God I would be pissed, for one jesus christ wasn't even born in december, why would we celebrate the birth of the savior when everything is dying? (Winter time? Damn romans)and his death when everything is coming alive sharing it with an oversized sex crazed rabbit who gives you eggs instead of a chicken. (That's pretty demented a rabbit giving out eggs) and I refuse to acknowledge any holidays that are either masked by brutality (i.e. Thanksgiving,juneteenth,st. Pattys day (I know yall seen the leprechaun movies, and halloween.) nor do I partake in the" just because" holidays like fathers and mothers day, secretaries day, valentines, presidents day, and sadly MLK (they thought give the black ppl their day and they will be happy)plus those are like 365 days, you should appreciate those daily!
So I brought up holidays sharing and my dismay wïth them to enforce the point I'm about to make about life. The way I view holidays is kind of the same way I vie w a lot of things in life. I don't really have high hopes for love in facti think I'm the only person who actually hates love, which ironically I'm a loving person. It makes me think of this Amel Larriuex song where she says "whoever thinks love is overrated must not be getting some", and that is so true. Maybe because I have yet to experience genuine love from people, then my perspective will change.
That's just it, many of our perspectives are based off of painful previous experiences, which ultimately shape our present that can sometimes modify our future. How many times have we as humans thought about our past experiences and allow them to shape our present ones. I know for me my biggest things is doubting what people say. You can tell me all the sweet things in the world but if your actions don't line up, then I'm not believing you anyway. But I realize where that train of thought comes from... My past.
Reflection: I can't fix what happened yesterday, infact I can neither change the outcome or bring it back. I can however harp on the situations and allow me to become bitter or I can learn from them and move on. The most simple principle to swallow is yet the hardest one, which is everybad situation is a good one, because whatever it was, wasn't meant to be (and you don't have to waste the rest of your life figuring that out!)
So to bring it home I have a new outlook on things, what has happened has happened I can't ever get that back, but I can focus on building my future. So now I don't willfully not celebrate holidays because of my past, I either have forgotten about them or just enjoy the day like any other day. I now am accepting to have lost people I love (or rather have them removed)cause when I look back they were dead weight anyway) and as painful as the process was at least I know what love is supposed to be an exhibit all the "right" behaviors to the right people. Its amazing how the past can effect your present and indirectly effect your future. So let it go. :)

Music to my Pretty lil EARS...

Heres my take on music:
I have always been one for some good music... you know the type that either has you busting out on the dance floor or got you loungin to a nice glass of wine, even sounds that got you bobbing your head... anyhoo... check out these songs that i have been jammin on my IPOD...

1. Lady GAGA "Just Dance"

My take: the kind of song that has my elctro funk alter ego come out, with glo sticks and my shortest shorts yet... with hot pink lip gloss LOL

2. Dj Mitsu Ft. Kotixx "Tokyo"

My Take: not only is Mitsu and hottie( im down with a little asian persuasion) but his mellow yet hip hop meets ambient beats make me want to Pocky sticks and sip on sake at bboy showdown in Philly... i love this dudes work! yo, check out the joint with DWELE "right there" thats like baby making music retro style! :)

3. Blue Six "Close to Home"

My Take: this is the ultimate love song in the most unusual way... its one of those songs that make you think of your boo when yall are far apart (even if he/she is in the next room) its got a upbeat tempo (think fashion show) with a sexy smooth edge... it doenst make me think "baby i miss you so much.." it makes me think "as soon as you drop your bags, im pouncing your a**!"

4. Eriq Rico "your body"


MY take: okay, i got to get a little explicit here, this song is more than the bomb!!! dont mean to be crass, but this is def a song of some body to body appreciation (ya-no-what imeen?!) this song is like ecstacy sex funky music... even your ears will have an orgasam...(mine did, but i think im more sensual than most *shrugs shoulders*)either way, dude is mad talented, he plays a mean electric guitar and backs it up with electro-funky beats... I would say Afrikka Bambatta meets pink floyd, who has a one night stand with crystal waters...lol

5. Cool Kids "Basement Party"

My Take: Now, i have seen these guys live, and im almost certain i have seen them in skinny jeans (*cringes face*) but basement party is def a hot joint, reminicent of the beastie boys and a tribe called quest. The chicago duo give me friday night hight with a kiss of last night a DJ saved my life ...lol

6. Keelay & Zaire Ft. Phonte and Dminor "Alright with me"

My Take: remember when low riders were back in style, and we use to listen to Next and John B; and maybe just maybe we might have got Snoop Dogg or even QTIP to rap over a verse on the song... yeah its something like that. On top of these two cats being mad talented producers/beatmakers/flyguys, their song gives you that same fuzzy feeling when you listened to Ralfeal Saddiq and Qtips "Get Involved".

7. Roisin Murphy "overpowered"


MY take: okay first of all roisin is sexy as hell (no homo) in a "i would wear high heel with fishnet pantyhose, a neoncolored top with bright pink heels" kind of way. Think Annie Lenox meets Grace Jones. So "Overpowered" is like the ultimate, "I wish I could get over you, because you broke my heart but i cant, cause your stuck on my mind like glue" type song yet infused with an addictive electronica 808 hip hop beat. i love love love this song. It used to be my myspace profile song... but roisin is dope, and makes me want to move to europe, cause thats where all the good music is (and tokyo, Mitsu holla at your girl...call me ;*)



so anyway, these are the sounds these days... check out these artist... i couldnt even give you the links to their sites cause that would take for ever... i gave you the assignment, now do the homework, but i find google works for me...lol

holla chickadees

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

need i say more! the fact that you are hear and want to spend the moment with me makes me feel all fuzzy inside!!! :)

miss jenius

A wtf Moment: MEN and there damn SJ's!

I have said it once, and I will say it again, in fact Im going to keep saying it till something gets done... this is one of those WTF moments, where you find yourself still trying to figure out, how the hell is this still a trend! GUYS, please STOP WEARING DAMN SKINNY JEANS!!! (and no offense to my hip hop heads who are trying to rock this Kanye west meets Tribe called quest look of a disaster, and want to be rocker/hipsters who you cant tell if they are a woman or man)

LOOK, guys let me break it down to you, I dont know who started this trend, and I know "Cheap Monday Jeans" are making a killing off profit, but the truth is, it is just simply NOT attractive in more ways than one... and im sorry if this offends anyone, i mean they finally figured it out for women, thats why you dont see it on chics anymore, but damn YO, this trend is eating up the masses, like maggots eat week old tuna! :@
so if your wondering, "Why miss jenius, does this bother you?" well my deal is my penis carrying members of the other gender let me tell you...

1. It's NOT in the least bit attractive, its like a dude carrying a purse, which is equally annoying, CANT WOMEN HAVE THEIR OWN THING!!( i mean I would love to switch my PMS, for Guy problems any day, yall can have that!)
2. It's even worse when your saggin your SJ's and you have a gut, and it looks like their is pound of feces draggin your pants ( i mean at this point what is the purpose of saggin, when they are skin tight...really.)
3. Ask yourself is this something you want to show to your kids when you get older? their dad wearing electric blue skinny jeans with a flannel shirt?
4. It degrades your MANHOOD! okay fellas, let me let you in on a lil something in a womans mind, we have a "bulge" theory, and one thing is for certain, just because you cant see "it" doesnt mean that there is nothing there, infact if you dont see it, you more than likely are in for a suprise, but when you wear SJ's everything is on front street, and Im sorry to tell you, I have been able to measure quite a few from observation, and SJ's will show everything ( and lack there of) (Dont do that to yourself.)
5. its almost like your wearing pantyhose.
6.Did i mention its not attractive.
7. Most men who wear skinny J's are short. (i have noticed this) by no means will wearing them increase your height.
8. Man, what happened to Jnco wide leg jeans, those were the ish back in the day.
9. Women dont like it, and for the most part we make fun of yall for wearing them. (if i had a qauter for every woman who rolled their eyes when they saw a dude in skinny jeans...man... talk about who wants to be a millionaire)
10. I have given more than enough reasons to stress its not attractive and attack the male ego... anything else is secondary.

We feel about skinny jeans, the way guys feel about women wearing make up!

so im just saying... give your balls the freedom they deserve! this is a free country! lets practice freedom!

say no to skinny jeans!

ridiculously yours

worth loosing...

In my lifetime, I have lost quite a few things... Keys, my mini prada clutch, this really cute mint green aviator jacket from walmart, a ton of lip glosses and even my mind :).

One thing I have learned about loosing things is, that it makes you apperciate it when its gone. You may never get it back, whatever "it" was, but it always will leave something.

I often think about people I have lost, at first I was upset because the investment I put into it,but I wouldn't have known what love was, if I hadn't lost it.

I also learned somethings we loose are either meant for us to find later on, or for us to never find again, which means it serves its purpose.

Not to get all "deep", but I realized loosing somethings isn't really all that bad.

Hmm kisses

The Big Bag Theory...

So often I am asked "why do you always carry a big bag?" And intially it would throw me off guard because I have always liked BIG things(I live in Texas for one, and everything is big there, and I love big hair, big jewelry, men who are "big", oops thinking out loud) but anyway, I just naturally believed the more space the better!

The ironic thing is there are many times I would be carrying a bag the size of child with nothing but my cell phone and wallet(and my wallet is a ciggarette case lol). So my whole purpose was big bag equals utility! I can shove my whole life in there and go on about my day, no worries.I'm not really girly girly, so often times I don't even carry a purse.

So check it, has anyone else noticed as skirts are getting shorter, bags are getting bigger?! But how can you not love your almost 2ft miu miu purse?! How can you turn away from your extra fabric Balenciaga, and accentuated louis??? You don't! Even if that hoe is a cutie from the thrift store (and vintage is priceless!)You gotta rock it!
Why? Because big bags :
1. Are conveinent! You can always put a pair of flip flops in there when your feet are literally shaking from wearing heels for 6 hours! (And all my fashionistas know about the leg shake when its time to take those heels off!)
2. You can wear any outfit with a big bag! You can even be naked! How many ads have you see where the chic is naked and all she is sportin is a super fly bag?!
3. To follow that. You can have on something shitty and your big bag will actually make you decent and not get completely bashed! You see celebs do it all the time in the press, look like crap but are rocking a fly elaine turner! I'm just sayin tho!
4.It makes all your girlfriends jealous and envious and want a big bag like yours.
5. It makes gay men jealous and envoius and want a big bag like yours.
6. Someone will give you a compliment on your big bag(everytime you wear it, even if u see that person everyday)
7.Did I mention convenient?
8. Usally bb have more creative and appealing styles!
9. Never go out of style!!!!

Now of course there are cons like everything else, especially when the bb power is for evil not good! Like
1. When you see everyone with the same bb! (2007 fendi hobo was everywherean even the knock offs and that was annoying as hell! Yall know which one I'm talking about! The hobo with the braided handles and horsebit buckle)
2.When people use their bb for stealing especially at stores or even your house.
3 when the strap breaks!!!!! Omg! That is the worst! That is like death!
4. When you get a hole and all your small items like keys get stuck in the lining :(
5. Looking for your keys lol.
6. When you need a small bag like a clutch and all you have is bbs! Ew fustrating!

So you see my friends, we must cherish our overly sized pouchers!for God created heaven and earth and big bags!
