My deepest apologies to everyone who stops by this blog. No, my love for Janelle Monae hasn’t died…it’s actually magnified! WordPress isn’t as easy to work as Blogger, that’s the reason for the hiatus…I just got frustrated! But yes I know about Janelle Monae’s new album (duh! haha) and I will resume posting about her, her new music, style, etc tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!

Do you want to dress like Janelle Monae, but don’t think you can go strictly black and white? Well you don’t have to!
All you need is:
a bow—either on your blouse or in your hair…Janelle Monae almost always has a bow!
stud earrings—I’ve only seen her in super round super huge white studs, but we’re trying color here (plus I think strawberries are cute)
riding boots—going with J.Monae’s love of all things equestrian
classy gloves—Ms. Monae always looks polished, and I felt these gloves made the outfit just that much better
Stick with plain neutral colors like light pink, powder blue, grey, tan, etc. If it’s too bright (or with any pattern) it won’t work!
Hmm, I love her outfit! I need to do another Dress Like Janelle Monae post soon.
Here are a few (awesomeamazing) tracks from Janelle Monae’s unreleased 2003 album, The Audition. I would link to where you can download it but I don’t want to get in trouble! So, Google and you shall find.
And for those people who say that her whole concept is a gimmick- This album is from 2003 and she still had the concept of Metropolis, cyborgs, and Cindi Mayweather even then. Plus she still had her funky futuristic sound!
Sooo, here’s the music video for “Open Happiness” (Janelle Monae, Cee-lo, Travis McCoy, Brendon Urie, and Patrick Stump), which is Coca Cola’s new theme song I think:
I like the song, I looove every artist featured….but….I hate this video! It’s so cluttered and random and weird. I have to be honest.
She looks stunning as usual!
Here’s the article
and…
I am itching for some new music from Ms. Monae! I’ve listened to the Chase about a thousand times and I need moooooree! I guess I just have to be patient because she’s in the studio right now…
The editor of Bellasugar.com, Annie Tomlin, sent me an email linking to an awesome interview she did with Janelle Monae! Here’s a few snippets from the interview:
How did your style develop?
As I’ve grown up, I started to extract myself from color. Black and white always makes me feel calm, and I feel more in control. I like to be in a focused, clear-minded state, especially when I’m working. I just like to allow the colors to come out and be my own personality.Do you have any favorite designers?
I like Ralph Lauren, especially the equestrian looks. And I have a tailor who creates a lot of my clothes. Not a lot of people know that. I also buy in bulk. Look in my closet and you’ll see 100 pairs of black-and-white saddle shoes, 100 white shirts. I just don’t like shopping.
Check out the rest of the interview here.
Thanks Annie!
I thought this was so cool!:
