Alright. Truth? Ada Egloff taught me how to dress when I was 17. Soo…Daily Candy, Philadelphia City Paper, Uwishunu, um…Teen Vogue…Paper…I knoooowwww!! Right?!

We’re v siked about screening Blondes in the Jungle at Ada’s new Philly shop Oma this Friday. There’ll be $2 beers and wines (I’m thinking maybe even some sparkling wines) and a definitely warm, fun vibe. Plus music. Speaking of which, it’s been a minute since I’ve pushed the Blondes Inspirational Mix, at you right? Enjoy.

Oh and thanks to B. for sending me this today (I think cuz of its obvious Blonvergent qualities, right?) – way weirder/better than the blurb might suggest.

NOTE: I wrote this a few months ago and never posted - dunno why.

Lately I’m developing a new appreciation for stating the obvious. Like I admire NyMag getting all explicit about how Andrew WK is the best role model a young New Yorker could have. That had to be said publicly, but everyone was being too cool to do it.

In that spirit, I’d like to mention that Andrew W.K.’s wife, who only gets like a one-line mention in that article, seems pretty cartoonishly awesome. This bio is appropriately all-bold on her site, but I’m rebolding the especially bold parts:

In January 2008, Cherie teamed up with Patricia Moreno and created cycleSati, an uplifting, high energy ride which incorporates the power of the mind. Cherie has also starred in fitness DVDs through Gaiam and has performed at fitness conferences and events around the world. Cherie is dedicated to helping people live their dreams through fitness and mindfulness. In addition to Cherie’s group fitness achievements, she also supports her clients world wide with private weight, pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and personalized, multi-dimensional training. Always up for a challenge, Cherie enjoys living life on the edge. Outside the gym, Cherie travels the world performing as a musician, songwriter, and vocalist and enjoys competitive snowboarding.

As somebody who get’s more involved with things that are a bit too much, I think this style of intellectually/spritually overdetermined exercise will get me much more into fitness than the Sunset Park weight room’s doing right now. So it’s an aspiration of mine to take one of her classes at the Chelsea Crunch.

I’m also pretty intrigued by her (and W.K. produced) HOUSEROBICS music. Watch this clip. It starts off like that cheerleadery electroclash I had enough of in 2003, but by about 2 minutes in, there’s some genuine ecstasy. Sort of embodies for me the idea that the stuff “we” were jokingly doing back then is far more worthwhile pursued seriously. Or like deeply.

Cherie Lily’s current music project is a genre of dance music she created called HOUSEROBICS featuring original dance music infused with fitness. HOUSEROBICS is an exciting, new, high-energy, one-of-a-kind solo project blending house, aerobic dance, inspirational lyrics, and electronica.
