Qur'an 20181112

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

84.  Say, "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and that given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets from their Lord.  We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will."

(The Family of Imran 3:84)

Brazilian models

Hi Honey!  What's going on?  I often wonder what you are up to.  Are you planning to be in the director's chair?  You can borrow my chair if you like, as long as I'm not sitting on it.  Otherwise you can sit on my lap, and then well...  I'm a go-with-the-flow type of person, Honey.  You should know that by now.  I was browsing YouTube last night, when I came across the original version of "The Girl From Ipanema".  I thought that this would be a perfect song for me to sing, it's totally my style and in my range.  The girlie part of the song of course, I am a chick singer after all.  So I spent all last night looping the song, playing it while I slept, plus this morning before voice training so I could sing it today.  I sang it as the first song which turned out OK, then the computer made me sing it again an hour later, and I had totally forgotten the words.  Argh!  My brain is full!  It takes me a long time of singing it over and over to remember the words for a new song, because I am an emotional singer and I need to make the emotional connection.  This is also true of stuff that I write.  I didn't think I would be able to use any of the songs in "Woo Hoo" for my set, because the album is too dark.  Then I decided that "Gyrlie Roxtar" would be appropriate, but I'm still having trouble nailing the emotional connection when singing it live, even though I wrote the damned thing.  I hate singers!  What a bunch of fussy bitches.

Anyway, "The Girl From Ipanema" absolutely reminds me of Brazilian models.  There used to be a heyday when Brazilian models were the only models out there.  Like in 2004 for instance, the Victoria's Secret front line was all Brazilian plus Heidi Klum.  I think the prettiest Brazilian model back then was Ana Beatriz.  Adriana and Alessandra were way up there too.  Those were the days.  Truly the end of an era.
