About Me

digitalfragrance designs

Someone once asked me-what do I love? That's easy. The sound and smell of raindrops; chocolate covered strawberries; fireplaces; children giggling; a glass of Riesling complimented by smooth jazz after a long day; hues of red, blue, orange, and pink; random acts of kindness; Caribbean ocean waves washing over me; discovering music I can feel; hot chocolate; the forehead kiss; signature martinis; strong, warm hands massaging all my thoughts away; thunderstorms; breakfast in bed on an easy Sunday morning; candelight; weekend escapes; heady cologne; fried chicken and mac and cheese; afterplay; and dancing in random places like no one is watching

My Interests

Reading, writing fiction, traveling (preferably somewhere that will get me a stamp on my passport), Feeladelphia, black art (collecting and viewing--big fan of Jonathan Green); interior design (love looking at well designed, colorful homes); big sports fan (go Eagles! Go Heat!); live music, esp neo soul, 80s/90s hip hop & R&B and jazz; attending open mikes; photography (black and white and viewing exhibits); dining out, hanging out on beach/by lake fronts, wine and food festivals, and collecting coffee table books (I have about 40 on a variety of subjects (art, nudes, and, jazz, and wine to name a few)

I'd like to meet:

Not going to limit myself here. Step into my world...

Music:

I can't even begin to explain. Ya'll should already know. Neo-soul / Jazz / R&B (especially 80s & 90s)/ 80s & 90s Hip-Hop / the music babyboomers grinded to under the blue lights in the basement.

My Blog

My "Other" Blog is on CNN.com!

To say 2008 is starting off on an incredible note is an understatement. I've mentioned my other blog several times but have never directly linked to it because well...I didn't want to. However, it's n...

SO Good

As I'm sitting here sipping on a hot toddy and listening to my current profile song (Pharoahe Monch - So Good), I'm thinking about how many things in my life are so good. Sure, I bitch and moan and ha...

I "Got Back" With Little Brother!

I'm almost ashamed to say that I wasn't up on Little Brother before attending their show in DC a couple of weekends ago. I'd certainly heard of them, but didn't have any of their albums. Luckily, my ...
