What I Wore.. Anthology San Diego

The show at Anthology was incredible full of beautiful loving people who helped set the mood for the energy of the night. My concert as promised was a music journey from Soul Train, Shalamar (I’ve included ‘A Night To Remember’ and ‘The Second Time Around’ in a funky medley)  also including CHIC’s classic ‘I Want Your Love’ which was my 13th #1 single back in 2007 from my The Makeover. The medley also includes ‘Your Love Keeps Working on Me’ and ‘I Want Your Love’ from ‘Affairs of The Heart’.There were plenty of hits and rarities and the new music preview from ‘Chameleon’; people are loving the new songs. ‘The Dawn’ which was already written as an homage to Soul Train and my years there is accompanied by a video montage of a teen-aged me and other highlights and ends in tribute and thanks to Don Cornelius. That night with the news of the passing of another television pioneer and icon Dick Clark – the song was also dedicated to him. Produced by Mark De Clive-Lowe it’s a funky tribute that already has fans dancing in the aisles.
The place I’m told has never grooved and rocked as it did April 18th. My band and I were full of gratitude.
After the show, I did a lengthy meet and greet talking to fans, taking photo’s and signing merchandise and a lot of classic vinyl.
For the meet and greet I wore a print jersey dress – and anyone who knows me knows this is rare because style wise I generally don’t like them..but style is also evolving and finding what works and owning that. I love this dress!

Classic Beauty. Jody Watley

This image is of my first and only solo cover of Jet Magazine and was in my Tumblr feed yesterday, it was cool to be reminded of it. I must say though that I never got the 'sexy' part. the last thing I ever tried to do was work that angle, especially since I was already the mother of a young daughter at that time.
I've always kept "classic" as my inspiration so that years later I won't cringe when I see old photo's of myself - I didn't when I saw this yesterday.
In the music business, there are always people trying to make you change into something you're not to be more appealing or marketable in one way or another. I've really always tried to be true to who I am, and not who other's want me to be or think I should be.




Here's a link to my Tumblr which I've been fiddling with a bit here and there: http://jodywatley.tumblr.com/

Beautiful Brushes.

Keep your brushes and puffs clean and fresh, your skin will appreciate it.  I generally add a small cap of fabric softener to a mild unscented detergent or brush cleaner.

Style Notes.

It's a new year, what are you planning to do about updating your style? Try something new be it a  lipstick or hair color - even a new moisturizer for your skin. Perhaps it's trying that new haircut you've been considering. Whatever you do, don't be afraid to try something new and step out of your same style routines.
