Remembering Florence (Flo-Jo) Griffith-Joyner

divalocity:

Florence (Flo-Jo) Griffith-Joyner was one of the greatest athletes that ever lived. She put the glam in track and field events for all the world to see.

Flo-Jo!
Over the last few years it seems that many of us have become engulfed by popular culture that we forget about many of the great ones who left their true marks on our lives and inspired us to be the best at what we did or tried to achieve.

Florence (Flo-Jo) Griffith-Joyner defined fabulous on and off the track field with her alluring beauty and her own sense of style. She reclaimed an aura of femininity that had been denied to us for so many years and she looked good too all the while leaving a trail of dust in her competitors faces.

I miss you Flo-Jo...

CONGRATULATIONS TO ESPERANZA SPALDING ON WINNING THE GRAMMY AWARD FOR BEST NEW ARTIST!!!

ESPERANZA SPALDING


Esperanza Spalding

...She beat out Justin Bieber and Drake for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Raise your hands if you're a fan. I am and I've got every record she has ever recorded to prove it!
Some of us have been fans for a very long time, but last night she has again shown the world exactly who she is without their fanfare and excessive objectification. Even the Obama's are fans.  Esperanza Spalding wasn't on the lips of many them before, but she certainly will now. For some reason or the other there are a lot of people who are so "2000 and Late" due to being smitten with those who the media deems as popular. "Popularity doesn't mean a thing if you don't have any real influence."

If you haven't listened to her before, be sure to check out her latest disc, Chamber Music Society.
