Ok, so I’m taking a break right now. For the next few weeks I will be relaxing, sunning myself and indulging in making some new work away from the constraints of my day job. (Which I love ok boss ;) ). So to start with I diagnose some serious feet-up and a good book. This is the only time I ever get to sit, or lay down, and read a whole book. So, courtesy of Jee’s blog I picked up a copy of The Mercedes Ladies book. This book is written by Sheri Sher, one of the founder members of The Mercedes Ladies, original old school all female DJ and MC crew from the Bronx. Despite this book being a novel, which kind of weirded me out because I am a fact fiend, it’s quite an entertaining read. Apparently only the names were changed, but it’s not hard to work out who is who if you so desire. I won’t give too much away, but this book does give a real insight into the life and times of this all girl crew at a time when they really were pioneering. I recommendz.
