Fly As A Lady Part 2
This is a chick that totally MOVES inside of Hip Hop. Life in the fast lane for women on the move tends to be a never ending day. Catching up with Fly Lady Di was more than a hustle but well worth the while. On the scene from hot spot to hot spot all over the fab NYC leaks paint from the subways as I grab a moment of this bright, young inspirational spirit in her own right.
She’s a renowned dancer, studying jazz and Hip Hop, she made her way out of it all to become a B-Girl/House dancer inside videos for the likes of Fall Out Boy and many others. In every area of whatever art she chooses for that day it always oozes Hip Hop. Always oozes femininity. Always oozes Flyness. And in it all you’ll always find her. Even down to just peeping her myspace page… if u don’t get all the pics of hotness she’s got plastered across the page downloaded, you’ll at least hear some old school Hip Hop (i.e. Who Got Da Props by Black Moon :-O) or some serious House music for your soul.
I’ve gotten the privilege to see Ms. Di at some of the hottest events in the inner and outer area of NYC. Experiencing these different outlets inside the Hip Hop culture has been amazing to me. I’ve been blessed enough to see her perform at the Art Battles (covered by MTV) in Noho, at the Ladies of Hip Hop Launch in Philly (dope dope DOPE). Recently at the Afro-Punk Festival she worked with many other painters who ran a colleague of one painting into the next. Women hold their own reign inside this culture and they are creating a path to accomplishments inside a male driven world.
I’ll be forever awed and inspired by this young lady. Inspiration means to have immediate influence of God or a god and/or to be inspired. This is something that the Holy Books were birthed from, something that our own talent is resurrected from. Where do you find such artistry inside yourself? A feeling of Life being blown into you, a feeling of God moving in your steps, how do you grasp such a moment of mastery?
I believe it comes from people and our environments. Today’s inspiration lies in the hands of a brilliant painter named Fly Lady Di. In her I’ve found energy to begin something that she has made profound in her very own right. Art and a paintbrush.
