OMG! It's The Weekend

The weekend has finally arrived!



Did your week go something like this?

Monday: The train was late? You hardly ate? Spend the whole day wishing you were still in bed?

Tuesday: You tried to run yr game on a dame but she saw through it?

Wednesday: You skipped school, trying to be cool but then got busted?

Thursday: You found out that you're not getting promoted at your job after all?

Friday: After work, you try to sleep for a few until you hear someone say, "WAKE UP! Let's go out."

So, WAKE UP! It's time to party.



Since it's the weekend, you better get dancing:



And please, what ever you do this weekend, Just MOVE SOMETHING:



AND don't be afraid to work your body during your time off:

Get Loose

A beat:

It is possible to stop:




Are you ready for someone to tell you something:




You haven't seen anything yet:




Do it Do it Do it:




Where are you?:

Come on, SHAKE IT. Look at the clock. You know, time is running out. It's time to rock.




That girl is so fine:




But whatever. Boom! Shake the room?!





How long has this been going on?

Perri "Pebbles" Reid

In the early 1980's, Perri Alette McKissack, a.k.a Perri 'Pebbles' started singing back up for the funk outfit Con Funk Shun.

Eventually getting her own gig, she made several songs over the next ten years.

Around 1990, Pebbles found Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes) hanging out around Atlanta, GA and formed the trio TLC . In 1994, TLC released Crazysexycool. This album went platinum 11 times. People were all about it. Basically, TLC did this song. Everyone knows this song:



Serving as TLC's manager, Pebbles helped guide TLC's career. TLC alleged that Pebbles was mismanaging their finances, and Pebbles fell under intense public and professional scrutiny.

Eventually, TLC filed for bankruptcy:

According to TLC's new manager, Noah Nixon, Pebbles took advantage of the girls. Nixon said, "People made over $100 million off these girls and they were getting around $75,000 a year."

Eventually, the girls in TLC and Pebbles went their separate ways. At the same time, Pebbles' marriage to producer L.A. Reid crumbled, causing them to get a divorce.

The personal turmoil and intense public scrutiny caused Pebbles to leave the secular music industry.

Now, after all that, Pebbles is a Christian minister under the name of Sister Perri.^[1]
