Heartbreaker

Mimi is a must in my mix. I think a thousand horrified comic fans are surely going to speed by this post, but hold up! It's an amazing dance track to get your Friday going and surely you can't say no to concession staff doing flips, an animated Mariah, catfight in the ladies' room, and dudes getting their comeuppance?

If only I could get the Office 54 gents to back me in the video's opening dance routine for our MoCCA table, but with only two weeks to pack and move our studio to Office 34, work on my special mini-comic, getting merchandise organized as I listen to Mariah's new album, I sadly doubt it's going to happen. Next year!

This week, I got glowing approval on my current comic project's thumbnails and have moved onto penciling the pages. We'd also delivered another job's project work-list, mock-ups, and storyboard, and I'm in chat with an editor to read a graphic novel script that sounds extremely promising. Cross your fingers for me!

With so much accomplished, the sister and I went out to Sandbox Studios/SBX Creative's ICF benefit party. In addition to supporting their efforts to provide education in photography to kids, we heartily enjoyed looking at art and catching up with the ladies. As the DJ turned out 80's tracks on the turntable (I never in a million years thought I'd hear Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" pump out of massive speakers), I thought to myself, "Oh, this must be nostalgia night for the 30-somethings..." Then Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" came on and all the 20-somethings went nuts dancing. "It's not nostalgia, it's retro-hip!"

I have been aware that the 80's style had been the thing for awhile, but this was something else. I saw the chic move into early 90's with guys actually sporting the Kid 'n' Play gumby hair wearing Afrika medallions earnestly doing the 'running man'!! What a night to forget my camera, I've no evidence to show you the amazing thing that is the 90's except for a bonus Mariah video featuring ODB...
