So, there are a million things I could be blogging about that I've found interesting and/or exciting:
~~~~
The fact that Victoria Beckham now lives among us, which I just love. And to the dumb-ass reporter from St. Louis who
slammed her "Coming to America" special ("To the Brits, they are Posh and Becks. To most Americans they're--who?"), I say...
Who the fuck are you? I'd like to see
you pull off alien-chic so well day after day. (I've been in a very VB/Spice Girls-obsessive mood lately.)
~~~~
I could also go on and on about how all of a sudden, young Hollywood seems to be
completely insane. LiLo, what the hell are you doing? Haven't you learned to
not keep your cocaine in your pocket and...um...I dunno...
hire a driver!?!?!?~~~~
I might as well add now that it's been made public that Stuart Price (the mastermind music producer behind Madonna's
Drowned World Tour and
Confessions on a Dance Floor album and tour) is now Kylie's producer for her upcoming album. (That's the amazing album that leaked a while back! It's soooo good.) Here's the
story. I want to just say, though, that it's very highly unlikely that she "nabbed" him. Madonna has a tendency to seek out incredible up-and-coming producers, use them for a few albums and maybe some tours, and then move on...
...Which she did. Madonna's newest album will be produced and cowritten with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. She's DONE with Stuart Price.
...And I've also read a few comments around the Internet that Kylie is being lame by using Madonna's producer AFTER Madonna, that she's being unoriginal. I'd like to
correct that by saying that Madonna didn't
birth Stuart Price, and he can be hired by anybody and everybody regardless! Plus, I don't hear anyone giving Madonna shit for using Timbaland, who is
the most typical (though amazing) current producer to work with. I mean, he's worked with Bjork, Nelly Furtado, Justin...you name it. So lay off, people. Kylie and Stuart have made a fanTASTIC dance record, and I can't wait for its release.

And now to the POINT of this blog:
How do you people feel about the word "Hoochie"? Personally, I love it. I think it's funny to say, funny to read, and that it's not the same nasty, mean word that it used to be. In other words, I think it's come a long way since 2Live Crew's "Hoochie Mama" days:
("Mama just don't understand why i love your hoochie ass
Sex is what i need you for i got a good girl, but i need a whore.")
Anyways....
Like I was saying, I think it doesn't mean the nastiness it used to, and that it's time to RECLAIM the word, like reclaiming "dyke," "faggot," and "nigga" (<--Well, I'm not reclaiming the last one, since I might be slapped for that, but plenty of people have reclaimed that word, and use it in a non-derogatory way.)
Why do I ask, you might say?
Well, tell me what you guys think of this.
Do we love it or hate it? I had no idea it'd be up on Amazon so fast--especially since I thought the title was tentative.
But I kinda like the way it looks....
Opinions????
