The Genie of the Vamp


Do I seem like an only child?  I get that alot.  People meet me, see how I feel willing to inhabit all the space and energy around me and they go, oh yea, somebody spoiled that sister, once.  But here's the deal-I'm not a solitary entity.  And I never was.  In fact, most of the reason I'm so willing to know my power, my flavor and my funk, is because of my sibling and, more importantly over the years, my fabulous contingent of friends.

I won't spend much time talking about my big sis, Double U.  I know you and everyone in the universe, it seems, knows who she is.  She's a glamorous personality, and having her as my older sis was truly a gift.  She always knew who she was and it showed.  The gal has just always demonstrated a lot of style, verve and energy.  For me, if I were to ever match her power, I knew I'd have to go my own way and find my own inner fire.  She has always loved me, supported me and adored me in her way, but ultimately, Double U does her own thing and goes her own way.  Me?  Sure, I'm independent, but I love my posse.  I need my crew.  After all I am a queen, and every queen has got to have her court.

This brings me to the importance of my trusty, zesty sidekick.  While I don't mention her much, she's become an integral part of the jazz-factory that I'm currently operating.  It's a wonderful thing to be a bold and vibrant lady who believes in herself and her dreams.  Sometimes, however, life throws you a random, clustered pickle of a hairball.  Suddenly, you need a re:mix or a re:charge and for some reason, it's just not happening.  Mojo?  Nowhere to be found.  Juju quotient?  Depleted.  The groundwork is laid and all the players are in place, but... no cigar.  That's when you gotta have friends.  You know, the people who return you to yourself, remind you of your fabulosity, speak directly to your sassy soul.  For me, I have the diva with the secret recipe for my re:fuel and she is the Genie.  The Genie of the Vamp.

The girl's a femme fatale.  She's dynamic, colorful, quirky and uber-cool.  In fact, in many ways, she reminds me of myself, but in her own unique Genie way.  She works words the way we Vibe Queen's like and her flair for fun and freedom is what I'm all about.  I can tell you, I've been operating in a space primarily inhabited by my doting, loving Kings, and it's fabulous, but it's been missing a little feminine magic.  Fortunately, Genie's a masterful materialize-r.  Poof and she's here.  She's keeping me sane on days when I'm less a queen and more just a jester.  She's my lady in waiting, ready to remind me of our shared mission-to create, to revive, to enliven!  We're workin' out our flow, every day, together.  We're two women who love to love ourselves and love to love each other!  And why not?  When it looks like there's nothing left to celebrate, remember your sisters, and get on out there and celebrate yourselves.  

Lately, Summer's kicking into effect, and we're jammin' over here, at the hot spot.  It's busy, it's steamy and it's right.  All the synergistic flow is taking off and I can feel it:  we're blowin' up.  It would be easy to ride this train out by myself, but I don't want to.  No matter where I go or what I do, I'm taking with me my girls, my team, my ladies.  I'm not alone out here.   You know it, as well as I:  Life is a team sport and we've got to choose our players and our teammates well.  I'm so grateful to my Genie, for being on my squad.  For me, she's a score, a dynamo, my secret weapon on a rainy day.  We'll be out here, chillin' and fulfillin' all Summer, seniorita's and senora's.  So, allow me to invite you to join our posse of Vibe-ettes and Vamp-tress's.  

Let's all make a concerted effort to celebrate the sizzlin' sisterhood.  Where my ladies at?
