I really enjoy the sounds of the Seattle based Sistah dou "Thee Satisfaction". Their sound carries a vibe similar to what I feel my photography emanates, a raw natural flava with a sultry spicy groove. Peep their new album "Awe Naturale" with the hit track "Queens"... the hook has been my mantra for the past few weeks. The Video for Queens is a treat, a house party down tempo jam with natural African beauties vibin their own space...Love it,Love it, Love it!

For those suffering from a case of spring fever, the cure has arrived in the form of sensual photographic genius. "Body Language", speaking a dialect of the sexy through the visual kaleidoscope of Refa One's photography. Friday's Art Murmur in Oakland features new work in the burgeoning genre of "Urban Boudoir". The imagery portrays a unique brand of Sexy where the natural beauty of the everyday woman is exalted to high art outside of the typical mainstream fashion. Body Language explores Boudoir photography from a culturally organic perspective seldom seen,allowing the viewer to embrace sensuality with a fly new dignity imitating from the hood. And if the imagery wasn't provocative enough the creative presentation suggest a depth of risque sentiments through the framing, found objects and clever signage reuse for mats adorned with poetic text. Treat yourself to an eyegasm Friday July 6th 6pm-9pm 
@ Feel More Adult Gallery located in Oakland's buzzing downtown district. Body Language runs from July to the end of November 2012.
