hey what is UP?!!
Current mood: accomplished

well i have completely fallen out of routine w this site, and i apologize to all my lovelies who say, "yo KINNIE!!!! what and when are you doing music stuff??"

here is the lowdown:

i have just made a new EP w chin injeti. it comes out of the illustrious 'hastings set', and we work under the laurels of Haddock entertainment. we are ninjas, soldiers, and masterminds. we eat fries, veggie food, ital and MEAT.

the record is a series of love songs, mostly this kinda mellow sexy sade meets edie brickell in rogue wave's studio. it's my major departure from hip hop, but i am still doing hip hop on the side.

hip hop rules and i love to rhyme and write beats, but cocaine has cast its spell on too many rappers, and the era of porn and bikini contests has tainted story telling past the origins of real love and funny spits......

i DO have a SIDE hip hop project brewing..... all about sex from a woman's perspective.... becasue let's face it, how many times can we hear a rapper talk about getting their dick sucked and getting the bitch to go low before we need change.

woot!

on a final note, i am producing my first record of someone else's stuff --- namely DIGGING ROOTS, my sweet extended family, in barrie. i LOVE PRODUCING.

mils and starr --- rollerderby 2008
Current mood: artistic
Category: Music

recently i watched mils and eekwol kick it w fervour in vancity and was reminded of how powerful it is when people care about music. god i feel lucky to get to work w mils....

mils and i have started making a record that's ready to kill!!!! it's a hip hop project to back up the 4trk guitar record i recorded at home last year, set for spring release 2008.

mils and starr --- rollerderby 2008 concept album is an EP/LP collection of tunes produced by mils featuring rhymes and tales about good sex from a woman named starr's viewpoint . contrary to my upcoming guitar 4trk album about heartbreak and finding love again, MILS AND STARR album is a shout out , a sexy lesson to men everywhere to slooooooooow down and please his girl.

the concept of the project was inspired by the a conversation between myself and a dear friend wherein we discussed 2000 porn's obsession w men "getting their dicks sucked" and women just entertaining men rather than getting righteously laid like in older porn. as my friend points out, 80's porn is full of journeys and photo essays detailing all the ways a REAL MAN pleasures women and gives them orgasm after orgasm.

this shit is gonna be fresh. you should HEAR mils beats. he has a certain sensibility that really moves me. bhis tracks have been a GIFT to write ryhmes to over the last month of school tour throughout BC. gorgeous landscapes and fall colours from as high up north as HYDER ALASKA and thruout the kootenays and vancouver island have been the visual lanscape for thes new jams... and what better place to think about love making and le petit mort than mountains and rivers and oceans and lakes?

CHECK OUT MILS AND EEKWOL IN MY TOP FRIENDS!!!

stilhetto heels and the bedroom
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

i have recently been caught wearing high heels. around the house, in the street, grocery shopping and eating sushi. i feel like a sell out to women over the world. a big wannabe with no backbone following the crowd.

i wobble and perch upright like a skinny bird. i feel the lines of physical duress busting up pieces of my spine while i walk. eventually the balls of my feet and heels and tendons and back are in shards. still i wobble and perch and pull myself upright.

outside in the street my high heeled hips sway seductively from the enforced angle of my wide heartshaped ass being bounced back and forth from the axis of my tiny waist. i suppose this is what they call 'feminine swagger'. damn, heels really rock this shit side to side.

men stop talking in hushed groups even more as i pass. coffee cups freeze in mid sip, women get irritated at their husbands and look away heatedly. coversations stutter even more now! now, in heels, i am DEMANDING to be looked at. i am commanding gaze. i JUMP from the pages of maxim magazine. now, in heels i am suddenly wearing little matching lingerie outfits, oiled up and made up and looking my best high contrast pussycat pout. my eyes have ALOT of make-up on them and with my hair done up tight and fresh i look like canada's jessica alba, star shiny ready. an exotic or srtiking girl with enough caucasian to negate the weight of my native blooodlines. i PASS!!! i pass for being pretty at last! i'm "feminine"!! my ass juts out just a little more, and... OH how men and women alike turn their heads.

but is this what i want? am i really willing to hurt that much physically just to engage this desire in men i don't know?' do i really want to get looked at MORE? is this really an accomplishment to get oogled by more men? by more women??

the answer is no. HELL NO. it ain't worth SHIT to me to wear a heel that wrecks my body all day.

i LIKE my strong and well-aligned frame. i've worked HARD getting my body tougher than 120 pounds of fragile aches. at 5"7inches, it's taken me 15 years to be able to roll my shoulders back and not be afraid of my stand-up breasts and bond girl perimeter. i LIKE having my feet o the ground and my back straight and no pain in my hips.

so HEELS?? well, yea you might catch me here and there putting up w the agony for night of dress-up. but honestly? heels are for the bedroom, for the place where only stilhettos and hands and mouths see what happens. G'd up from the feet up with NOTHING else on.

pussy is pretty by any name

amid the crass and repetitive images of women constantly being splayed in exactly the same way til we are all so NUMB to the beauty of our pretty things and the valleys and mountains of our physical frames comes a glorious turn of phrase:

travelling thru BC and en route to a show, i passed a cute town called 'ollalla'.
first the alliteration got me ... the paralell LL's and the round beginning ....
oh it all just rolls off the tongue.

home a week or so later i turned to my lovely husband-to-be and said,
let's name our first girl OLLALLA babe?

he smiled a slow smile...
what?
i asked.

LALLA is the sto:lo name for pussy
he tole me.

LALLA???

fucking HELL can you think of a prettier name for pussy? i guess we have 'mariposa' en espanol, flor tambien .... flower in english .... but LALLA??

good lord!
and the name for penis in sto:lo?
JOBI....
how perfectly appropriate methinks.

seems them sto:los knows a things or two.

new songs posted

hellooooooooooo..

i just put up a couple new songs off my anti-pop album, recorded entirely at home, on a four track, using one mic, two guitars, a shaker and my throat.

goddamn it felt good to make music without cut and paste choruses, nuendo, drum programming, punch-ins, and all the 'perfectionist' side of pop/hiphop.

think about ... black sabbath and Trex and old pink floyd never made their shit 'perfect' ..... 'perfect is boring.

beauty and the trees

i just moved to a vancouver after three years of living in sechelt, on the edge of the power grid ....basically INSIDE the trees....

now two months since my move .... two months of being in traffic, people buying things, rushing, racing, pacing .... i was ready to fucking FLIP. tense in my mind. shoulders. blood.

so i split back to the sunshine coast for a few nights w my soul friend of 20 years, daver..... and one night of oxygen and i'm getting back together with myself.

checkin out the detailed asymmetry of the natural world ... GODDAMN how did we decide beauty is symmetrical??? there's nothing 'perfect' in nature, so why do we try and push for that with our bodies??? women especially are urged to alter .... but men feel the sting of 'omygodi REALLYneedtochangemybody' too. just look at tom selleck. WTF??

i love the reminder that i am so small, so imperfect, so sweet smelling and natural like blossoms and ocean and sand and driftwood. and even when i feel like i'm moving too fast --- which i am sometimes out of a THIRST for knowledge and artmaking --- if i look at the naturl world it is S L O wwwwww.....

THIS, to me, is SEXXXY.... remembering how gorgeous we all are .... outside the magazines and TV and well made-up and botoxed faces and altered boobs and bums and bleached teeth and straightened hair we are as full of blood and water as any river or ocean....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
