Big Mama's gonna set you straight

First off, let me start by saying how much I've missed sharing ideas and information with you. You keep me running back to the PC every chance I get: And there are more chances than ever, because my priorities have changed.

I was all worked up because a lot of things went sideways in my life. There were times when I was was sure I was ready to check out; even started getting my Last Will & Testament written...

But I was sick, overworked, stressed & worried.
That's passed and I'm back on track.

So I'm here to update you as Jehovah has given me some words of wisdom to share.

(1) However small you may think your accomplishments may be; however little you think you have or have done in life - You Matter. You've touched lives and changed the world around you. There is someone (although they may never tell you so) who wouldn't be who they are or where they are today if it hadn't been for YOUR Presence in their lives.

(2) Look up at the sky, the stars and accept that you are created in the image of the same God who hung those stars, the sun & the moon. What limits you hold about your capabilities are all in your mind...
Change you mind & change your life.

(3) Instead of aspiring to be the next (whoever), strive to be the best YOU. There's only one you - never has been and never will be. You have one life to be your optimum self. Use it fully & wisely.

(4) Accepting that your are a fallible human being is not the same as accepting limiting beliefs. No matter if you've been told "No, you can't, you won't & don't try,"
 all your life...You are still alive.
You still have another chance to make it happen. Do it!


 KANYE

(5) Lastly:
I need you to know undoubtedly, that you are exactly where you are meant to be
- right here - right now.
Your birth wasn't a mistake. The plans for your walk upon the face of this green earth were laid out long before the day you arrived. Embracing this truth helps put all the hills & valleys in perspective. Understanding that you have a great purpose for being born is the major key to executing that purpose.

Get your goals down on paper, notes on your phone or record them. Creat a system of reviewing your past so it can help navigate your path into a future more suited to your own design.
I Love you...SMILE!!!

PINKY, Q & A

Q: I’ve been asked why I clown?

 

A: Actually, it was my Granddaughter who suggested that I be a clown, because I am so naturally-silly. Out of the mouths of Babes*

Q: Do I make lots of $$$?

A: Any performer will tell you, most of the time more money is spent than is made when doing a show. Travel, Costumes, and other cost are involved.

I do this because it is a gift to be able to make people laugh, loosen up, get krunk & act a little bit foolish. Good, Clean Fun is what Pinky is all about*

Q: Am I hot in that costume?

A: Putting on a clowning-show, just as any other show, requires a certain amount of discipline. I dress in a way that helps keep me cool in summer and warm in winter. I don’t think about the weather. I only think about making people laugh & smile. Young & old. I just want people to know that I appreciate them allowing to come into their lives and bring them a bit of laughter & joy*

Q: Does Pinky perform for Adult parties?

A: Pinky enjoys making people laugh! No matter what age we are, most of are still children @ heart. That’s the part that Pinky aims to touch with music from oldies to new hits, and just plain stupid-silly fun. Pinky can dance to any kind of music, although Pinky prefers that the songs be the clean versions--got to stay in the GOOD, CLEAN- GROOVE***

Q: How far will Pinky Travel?

A: To Infinity & Beyond*

Q: What’s the best thing about clowning?

A: It’s a real blast to see children’s faces light up when I give the a free balloon, but the best thing for Pinky is when Teenagers are having fun & and getting in on the act. I want them to know that their wildest dreams can come true and that they can do anything that they put their heart into. Often teens don’t want their peers to see them doing anything that is UNCOOL, but it only takes one brave soul to start dancing or playing around and the others jump-in to show that they too can get Silly & Jiggy with Pinky. It’s also a real treat to put a smile on the face of an adult. Often, grown-ups are tired, stressed-out, they have loads of things on their minds. So making them laugh & get silly is Super-Duper Cool in my book*

A WORD ON CLOWNING

I found a video on Youtube that may aid you in finding your comfort zone, concerning “Clowning”.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P1Ikq_t5XA&kw=clowns&ad=7947884808&feature=pyv

 

Please don’t feel anxious because it really is all in good fun. As of now, I should be the only one getting headaches over this business…lol! I love Clowning because I have a vision that surpasses conventionally held beliefs entailing red noses and antics. I see Clowns 4 All Occasions opening doors for a myriad of performers, voice over artists and talented people from all walks of life. How can I think along these lines? First, think of how relaxed people get around entertainers. Strangers will allow performers to hug them, they will turn their wallets and purses over to magicians and kiss movie stars on the mouth.

http://getpinky.webs.com/aboutus.htm

Entertainers are not restrained by the same common issues and perimeters as the general public…not that they are better or even different, it‘s just that they are given more leeway and the rules are more relaxed. This is why Clowning is an opportune venue to expand options across the board for O.N.S. Entertainment Company, Clowns 4 All Occasions and all artists and performers in Central Mississippi.

Imagine. Dancing, drawing, singing, comedy, improvisation, spoken word and just about any other act that you can think of. Now; slip on a colorful costume, theatrical make-up, a zany wig and shoes, and the same act becomes and attraction of unsurpassed possibilities. A clown can fall while dancing and make it part of the act. A singer can screw up a song and get laughs instead of boos.

People admire anyone with the courage to dress weird, act silly and do the type of bold things that only a clown can get away with. The truth is that any talent can be expressly experimented upon with a bit of glitz and an open mind.

A WORD ON MODELING

As for modeling, I’ll be creating a page soon that addresses all the issues I’ve encountered as a performing artist. To say the least, modeling is one of the most expensive careers, because so much traveling, clothes, makeup, and other costs are “Out-of-pocket” just while you are working to get noticed and make a name for yourself in the business. If you’re truly interested…

Check out these and other websites that cater to and recruit models. Konscious Money Entertainment is owned by my good friend, Greg X, and is located in Charlotte, NC. But there are always Local Churches, Clubs and Pageants going on in every town so be sure to start right where you are and build on that because it costs much less to travel across town than it does to travel across the country.

http://www.superpages.com/bp/Charlotte-NC/Konscious-Money-Entertainment-Group-L2276743456.htm

Read no less that twenty books about modeling and auto biographies about FORMER MODELS who tell all they endured while climbing the ladder to success. Iman, Beverly Johnson, Jodie Foster and Candice Bergman are just a few who have written of their trials and tribulations in “The Biz.” There is also a book of warning that I’ve not read yet but I here it is a must-read for anyone looking to break into the video scene, “Memoirs of a Video Vixen.” Feel free to call me (662) 289-7000, early morning is best (4am -9am), before my work day begins. Most importantly, Choose a career that can fund your modeling (so you don’t have to rely on the promises of others) and one that challenges the mind because Beauty can be a CURSE without BRAINS to Guide it in the right path. Look forward to talking to you. God Bless and …SMILE*

OVERNIGHT SENSATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY

Lovingly known as “O.N.S.” the organization was founded in 2005 as a memorial to A.J. and Lula C. Wells, who’s artistic talents were transcendent. It is the hope of Madamxtra and all members, staff and administrators of O.N.S. that all persons should experience the excitement of sharing their talent within their community, nation wide, across the web and anywhere else their wildest dreams care to take them.

O.N.S. has five major objectives:

MENTORSHIP-- Connecting people within their own ilk. Accomplished artists from every genre hold a wealth of skill, knowledge, history and connections that are invaluable to the novice. The road to success is traveled with far less dumps and bruises when there is someone there to help show us the way.

VENUES-- Unlike traditional promotional companies, O.N.S. strives to provide opportunities for all performers to gain the experience of a live audience, as there is nothing that compares to the applause and cheers of a crowd that has been thrilled by the show you’ve just given.

TUTELAGE-- Often the difference between “Mediocrity” and “Making It Big” is not so much (How Talented) you are, but more often it is (How much you know). Learning how the Arts/Performance industry operates is paramount to getting ahead and realizing your dreams. Too many phenomenal artists and entertainers live and die in extreme poverty while others die the slow death of not following their dream and developing their talent as they work jobs they hate…just to make a living. O.N.S. helps artistic people learn to make the most of all that God has Blessed them with, through consultation, advisory sessions and information hubs.

INVESTMENT--O.N.S. is not a (For Profit) organization, it‘s a community organization. Investing in the dreams and talent of local artist is our primary goal. All funds generated through the activities of O.N.S. are channeled directly to the efforts involved in getting local artist seen, heard, published, promoted and educated. And though higher education is not the quest of all artists, O.N.S. encourages LIFE LONG LEARNING and we contributed greatly to the funding of that quest.

Stewardship-- Giving Back is a fraise that is over-used but it is perfect way to show appreciation for what we have been Blessed with. The best way to prove that you’ve learned a task is to teach it to some one else and help make the world a better place…something that cannot be done by money alone. Unfortunately, many artist are focus ONLY on MONEY. But art must be produced for (Art’s) sake. People speak of “Selling Out” and in thruth there is much to be desired in fame and wealth…especially WEALTH. But struggling to produce cookie-cutter, assembly-line music, videos or drawings can tax the mind and drain the soul of an artist. It is far more satisfying to do what you love for less pay than to get paid to do what you hate or what leaves you felling empty.                

It takes money to engage in Arts & Entertainment.

Travel/Lodging, Air/Studio Time, Media/Marketing/Promotions, Copyrights/Publishing/Printing, Entourage/Escorts, Training, Costumes/Make-up/Hair Care, Set-up/Props, Security, Insurance/Legal/Accounting, Accompaniment, Equipment/Supplies, Licensing/Permits, Portfolio/Photos, Agent/Management Fees, Sound/Lighting, Reproduction/Distribution, Venue/Theatre/Concert Hall, Fitness Club/Gym/Personal Trainer, Communication/Technology, Food: And the list goes on and on. There are so many costs involved with Arts/Entertainment that are commonly discovered only after the bill arrives. O.N.S. is committed to helping artists and performers find their way through the maze of misinformation that tends to stifle careers just as they are blossoming.

OVERNIGHT SENSATIONS (O.N.S.) has been the wind beneath the wings of untold artists for eight years and counting.

THANK YOU.

THE ARTIST WITHIN

Everyone is Blessed with creativity in some form of fashion, what sets artists apart is how they used their talents. Not everyone will command applause and cheers, but everyone can express themselves through some artistic medium.

Gardening,   Carpentry ,  Sewing,

Cooking/Culinary,   Oratory,   Auto Detailing

Hair Stylist,   Pet Groomer, Teacher/Instructor

Evan a Blacksmith. Anyone who uses their imagination to solve problems and get the job done is an artist in his/her own right. Using creativity is a flare that all of us possess.

Using one’s creativity to better the world is what defines a master artist.
