Flashback: Being Good Wasn't Always Easy

Son of Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield

Flashback: Ladykillers

Ladykillers by LUSH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFGuzgIGLE

Do you remember this one? A big 90's tune by the female heavy British band LUSH. On the heels of "girl power" Lush seemed legit with this single about the trials of being the pick up subject of rico suave narcissists lurking out there.

Flashback: Kids in America

Kids in America - Kim Wilde

Classic 80's tune and Kim's style is on point. Inspiring for this upcoming Spring season!!!

Flashback: Caught Out There

Caught Out There - Kelis

As Kelis says "I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!"

Happy Valentine's Day. :)

This party is about fun - bring your people to get some lovin' with an all female set, tarot card readers, candy, photos + an open bar.

Lover Girl - Teena Marie

Let's face it. Teena left us too early but she could sing like no other!  Not only that, this little lady with a big voice could also dance AND play the guitar simultaneously. Raw natural talent.

Flashback: Fade Into You

1994's hit "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star


Lead singer Hope Sandoval was the perfect girl to represent the 1990's. Her hair parted in the middle, baby doll dresses and boots were straight out of the pages of Sassy Magazine! Mazzy Star was apart of California's Paisley Underground music movement. Love Hope Sandoval!!!!

Flashback: Smooth Operator

Smooth Operator - Sade

*Notice the smooth move with the champagne bucket at 4:24

Flashback: Two Hearts That Beat As One

Two of Hearts - Stacey Q

Mega cheesy 80's anthem to brighten up your Saturday morning. Fun fact: Stacey Q had a short lived recurring role on The Facts of Life where she became romantically involved with George Clooney's character.

Flashback: At First You Don't Succeed

Try Again - Aliyah

Aliyah, what a gem and visionary. Nearly 10 years after her death, her music is still making us move.

Flashback: Que Sera, Que Sera

Lost in Emotion - Lisa, Lisa & the Cult Jam

Flashback: A Hard Headed Woman is a Thorn in The Side

Guitar playing spitfire Wanda Jackson is an original Queen of rockabilly. Her voice in this rendition of Hard Headed Woman is like none other.

Flashback: Nasty Girl

Vanity 6's Nasty Girl video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfLZfyphg0M) was the epitome of 80's. The threesome took Frederick's of Hollywood style and incorporated it into their signature look and asked all the nasty girls to dance.

Flashback: I Decided Long Never To Walk In Anyone's Shadow

The Greatest Love of All - Whitney Houston
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KjpyHX7X-o

Once obsessed with Whitney Houston, her songs were empowering and spoke to me as a little girl. Were you a Whitney fan (pre-Bobby of course)?

Flashback: Feelings, Nothing More Than... DAMN.

I do not believe in the conditions that produce a situation that demanded a song like that - Nina Simone

Nina Simone is one of the most fearless artists of the last century. Outspoken and "uppity" for a southern BLACK FEMALE, she showed the world it was only on her own terms she would live. Simone was under surveillance by the FBI, she was considered a threat to US security because of her lyrics and voice.

This performance of "Feelings" is so incredibly powerful and moving. Take a few minutes to watch Nina's captivating sheer genius and ferocity. Be prepared to faint as she opens her heart. Nina Simone is truly a gift from the heavens. MAGIC.

Feelings — Nina Simone

Flashback: Don't You Get Fresh With Me

Buffalo Stance from Neneh Cherry on Vimeo.

All time classic Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance is an anthem about real love and power. Fact: Swedish born Neneh Cherry moved to London at the tender age of 14, became a housemate to the late Ari Up along with being in a band called the New Age Steppers together.

Flashback: It's Enough to Drive You Crazy If You Let It

Who hasn't worked 9-5 and sometimes 5-9 on top of that? We've seen our hard work fatten the wallets of big bosses with little thanks. Dolly's 9-5 is not only an empathetic working woman's song, it is a song about never forgetting the dream. Keep that baby alive!




"It takes a lot of money to look this cheap" - Dolly Parton

Flashback: I'll Make You So Proud of Me

Be My Baby - The Ronettes (plus bonus track)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7pmwqDLxU0

Ronnie Spector and that wall of sound can never be replicated. This is a classic and will never let you down. Memories of this tune playing from the time I was a little kid, how about you?

Flashback: I Don't Give A Damn

Bad Reputation - Joan Jett
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RAQXg0IdfI

An obvious classic, Joan Jett helped change the rock n roll game. Saw her perform only once at legendary club CBGBs (RIP). Do you give a damn about your bad reputation?

Flashback: Who Took the Bomp?

Deceptacon by LeTigre*

*The first time I heard this song I nearly fell out of my seat. I was working at a feminist publishing company and Kathleen Hanna was one of my favorite icons. Do you have any stories about this flashback?

Flashback: Back On the Chain Gang

Chrissie Hynde is a bad ass.


Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders
