We won this new client. They open nightclubs. Here are pictures of the Stingaree, the most famous of them (so far).The dude making the peace sign is called Lil Jon. He is a Crunk artist. If you don't know what a crunk artist is, then you, like me, happen to be nerdy and old. Sorry to be the one to break this to you.
Crunk means crazy + drunk. Lil Jon is a purveyor of such fine tunes as "Where Dem Girlz At" and "Who You Wit?" No. I am not making any of this up.
None of this is really the point of this posting. The actual point is that strangely enough, the owners of these establishments are trusting ME to help with their advertising. I have no bling. I am not a hoochie mama and I don't actually know any. I don't know the names of more than 3 martini drinks. The last time I was up at 4 in the morning, it was because one of my kids was in the E.R. I don't know the difference between a Quaalude and an LSD high (apparently, one makes you think that everything you see is melting, and the other makes you see lights everywhere... don't ask me which does which, because I do not actually know). I have never worn my underwear on the outside of my clothing. I don't have a posse.
I am going to have to immerse myself in this world soon... I have decided to start slowly, and listen to "Shawty Freak a Lil' Sumtin" tonight... maybe tomorrow I will get some see-through high heels or pimp my ride...

YAY! I know what crunk is! And I know who Lil Jon is! He's the one who says "yeah" in the background of Usher's song "Yeah." Isn't he the dude who walks around with a bling-encrusted chalice of some sort? Get me an autograph.
I also knew several hoochie mamas in high school and college, if that counts. I don't think they call them hoochie mamas anymore. I think the 2007 term is "ho."
I do have a posse, but they consist of a rabbi, a preschooler and a Shih Tzu. Does that count?
That's not really a posse, but clearly you are less nerdy and old than I am.
True dat, G.
Here's the video of Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mBGODdzzVw - funny even if you don't know the song it's spoofing.
