Erykah Badu chills in Dubai.

STOKED! I am stoked! After months of excruciating agony of work and homesickness, finally a time to CHILL! The 5th Dubai Chill Out Festival will be held on April 8 and 9 at the Nasimi beach, Atlantis Palm Jumeirah (and I thought I would never be seen at that place again - http://sharingmycloset.blogspot.com/2011/03/party-party-posers-sandance-dance-music.html). But there is always an exception, and for this, it's ERYKAH BADU baby!!! The excessive use exclamation points describes how excited I am! 

I'm trying to calm myself down. See, when I saw the Coachella Festival line-up for April 16th of this year, my heart was broken knowing I can never go to Cali and watch. Yesterday, my heart was mended because Tine told me she's coming over for the Chill Out fest - just a week before Coachella wooohoooo! The Queen of Neo Soul is known for her eccentric music style and fashion. I love her towering, colorful head wraps, I am fervently hoping for guts and confidence because I'd really like to wear one some day.
