Jamaica Night @ Dos Lagos

Bedsides all things Creole..well I'm not particularly fond of crawfish...I love the Caribbean. I remember the first time I landed in Jamaica. The entire sky was a rainbow. No you're not feeling me...I don't mean I saw a rainbow. I mean the horizon, the sky was a blend of purple, reds and oranges. Stunning. Breathtaking..seriously! Once again (if I believed in past lives), I must have been a Jamaican Queen! Ev'ry t'ing is Irie Mon!

Tonight I went to an end of the Summer bash at Dos Lagos. Jamaican dancers, reggae, calypso, fire eaters...incredibly fun. Those girls were gettin' dey groove on mon! LOVE IT!!! Makes me want to plan a trip???!!

So many things I love..hearts a flutter...But first...

In celebration of my Creole Heritage, I named my new blog "Lagniappe". It is pronounced Lan-yap and it simply means a bonus...think baker's dozen. Thrown in for good measure. My primary blog became sort of an online journal of my dating life and self-discovery. This will simply represent all the lovely little aspects of me.

If you are not yet familiar with Melody Gardot..get to know her! Her music is timeless. Transports me to Paris 50 or 60 years ago. If I believed in past lives I would certainly imagine that I lived there.

This is a pic of my Nana, Zenobia. It was a gift for my grandfather while he was on a US Navy Sub! Simply glamorous......
