-picking the skirt to wear because the platform shoes make my brown thighs look like suga

-wearing minimal makeup so the the lip gloss is noticed ~ au natural

-wearin only the tops which move like fluid when I put them on, 'cause I'm "easy like Sunday morning"

-lettin' the funk on the record player totally take me there

-wishing out loud that I want everyone would sit down and just nod their heads so I can actually feel the funk just like I'm hearin' it
