I feel like the ladies at vogue mag probably wear some “red-bottomed shoes.” 👠 👠. #aprella #bodakyellow

Smangela I think she has a new one coming out... a spin off of DWP? 7y
Cinfhen That title is sooooo good @Smangela and the devil definitely wore some of 🎶these expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes🎶👠 7y
Blaire @Smangela @Cinfhen yes! I‘d read that one for the title alone. 7y

Cardi B's journey from rags to riches has me thinking about this true story detailing the lives of a few people growing up in the Bronx in the early 90's. Jessica and Coco think they've made it big when they meet Boy George and Caesar and suddenly find themselves in the midst of the glamorous gangster world. 💵💵💵

emilyhaldi Not THE Boy George, unfortunately 🙃 but this book is CRAY either way. It's mind blowing and very sad... Definitely give it a try! 7y
Reviewsbylola Loved this! @Cinfhen I first saw it mentioned in Nick Hornby‘s book (edited) 7y
Blaire This book is great! Read it last year. Can‘t remember how I came across it. They are really always living on the edge and hustling to make it. 7y
Zelma This is such a compelling book. And I read it based on Hornby‘s recommendation as well, @Reviewsbylola . He hasn‘t steered me wrong yet, though I notice that I often take different things away from books than he does. 7y
Reviewsbylola I really wish he still did his column. It was seriously my favorite thing ever. 😭 @zelma 7y
Mdargusch I need to read Hornby! 7y
Zelma @Reviewsbylola me too! 😥 I keep rereading Ten Years in the Tub and hoping for another collection sometime in the future. Alas. 7y
Centique I loved Ten Years in the Tub too and want some more🤞 @Zelma @Reviewsbylola 7y
Reviewsbylola I check every so often because I will never stop hoping. 😂😭 @Centique @Zelma 7y

"These expensive, these is red bottoms, these is bloody shoes" #bodakyellow

I wonder if Southeast Asians of a certain generation think of Imelda Marcos, her shoe collection, & the Marcos regime after seeing those lyrics?! ?? Tagged graphic novel is about growing up amidst the People Power Revolution/Yellow Revolution that lead to the end of the regime, & it's gone straight to my tbr.

Cinfhen Hilarious🤣😂🤣🤣and tagged book does sound fantastic. I think I may have already stacked it🤔 7y
Cinfhen Nope, but now I did 😉 7y
Cinfhen And I‘d love to do a Duran Duran book/music playlist 7y

batsy @Cinfhen I don't know how my brain works sometimes ?? And now I gotta go listen to Duran Duran; I've got the "do dodo do dodo" of Hungry Like the Wolf playing in my mind ? 7y
Cinfhen And now I‘ve got it 🎶🎵do dodo do dodo🎵🎶 (edited) 7y
emilyhaldi Imelda Marcos is the original Cardi B!!! 7y
saresmoore The book sounds amazing! This post is like a six degrees of separation experiment. 😂 7y
BarbaraBB I‘ve got my own Imelda at home. My boyfriend buys shoes the way I buy books 😂😂😂 7y
vivastory This book sounds great! 7y
Reviewsbylola Love this connection! 💛💛 7y
CarolynM Very apt!👏👏👏 7y
Mdargusch She was so crazy! 7y
Suet624 If we just imagined her love of shoes being the equivalent of our love of books would we have any sympathy for her? I have 3 pairs of shoes to my name but boxes and boxes of books. 😀 7y
batsy @emilyhaldi 😂😂 7y
batsy @saresmoore @vivastory It does sound great! 7y
batsy @Mdargusch She and her husband were really something 🤪 7y
batsy @Suet624 Haha, I totally get that! But no sympathy for her for cheerleading her spouse's rule of terror and siphoning millions off the people to fund their parade of wealth. 7y
batsy @BarbaraBB 😂😂😂 7y
Suet624 @batsy oh no, of course not. 7y
Centique @Cinfhen @batsy OMG yes to Duran Duran! Also have to stack this book 👍 7y
whimsy Lol this was startling to see in the dash. But thank you for speaking truth about the Marcos regime. Lord knows how we need it x_x. 7y
batsy @whimsy 💚💚 7y
GatheringBooks i enjoyed reading this graphic novel. i thought it was truly well done. :) 7y
batsy @GatheringBooks Oh, yay! Good to know. I'm glad it lives up to its fabulous title. 7y

Eyre Affair | Jasper Fforde
post image

The title #BodakYellow is a play off Kodak Black, Cardi B says that her flow in the song is reminiscent of his track No Flockin'.

Jasper Fforde is one of my favourite authors for playing off others works, especially the classics. He does so with creativity, wit, and originality. If you haven't met Thursday Next yet, you really should!

Kick Kennedy seems like she was a badass bitch, we all know the Kennedys can “make money move”, and the spine is yellow. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 😎 I haven‘t read this yet, but reading the blurb had me wanting to pick it up now. I hadn‘t realized hat Kick died in a plane crash at age 28. Tragedy sure follows that family. #bodakyellow #aprella

vivastory Kick Kennedy. What a great name!! 7y
emilyhaldi Makin money move!! I love it! I also don't know anything about this guy 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

BarbaraBB Great post! 7y
Reviewsbylola First off, she‘s a girl. 😂 @emilyhaldi 7y
emilyhaldi Lol, well i guess I REALLY don't know anything about her then 😆 7y
Meredith3 Nice way to incorporate bodak yellow and Cardi! Im also really frightened that @emilyhaldi doesn‘t know who she is 😳😹 7y
Reviewsbylola Lol she didn‘t know who Kick Kennedy was. 🤣🤣🤣 @Meredith3 7y
Melissa_J I have no idea what bodakyellow is 😳 7y
Mdargusch I need to read this. 7y
Reviewsbylola It‘s something Cardi B made up after being influenced by Kodak Black. 😂 So you‘re not alone. I only know because I googled. 😂 @melissa_j 7y

erzascarletbookgasm Lovely edition 💛 I‘ll be reading this for my Litsy classics challenge. 7y
VelvetSpade Wow. What a pretty edition! ❤️ 7y
HeatherBookNerd I love that book. What a pretty cover. 7y
emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola is right, Cardi B made this title up as a play on words of the rapper Kodak Black bc she says this song "borrows his flow"... So make of that whatever you wish ?? 7y
BarbaraBB @emilyhaldi Thanks for clearing that up! 7y
BarbaraBB I‘ve got this book on my tbr for May, so will follow your thoughts! 7y
Reviewsbylola Yeah I was trying to think up a post based on the inspiration but 🤯 @emilyhaldi 7y
batsy @Cinfhen 😂😂 7y
Cinfhen I‘m finally getting real with myself @batsy 🙃 7y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen well done! I‘m not that far in, so I can‘t say if you would like it or not, but I‘ll keep you updated 👍 @Reviewsbylola it is so pretty! And I read the lyrics, and they didn‘t really help 😂 @emilyhaldi I read that too, but I didn‘t know him either so I just went with the safe bet - colour! @BarbaraJean @RealLifeReading @VelvetSpade @HeatherBookNerd it is really pretty! I normally don‘t like yellow, but it works for this 💛👌 7y
Kalalalatja @erzascarletbookgasm @BarbaraBB I‘m using it for #booked2018 👍 I will keep you posted! 7y

I‘m taking @Cathythoughts definition of ‘undead creature‘ and this cover for the tagged book!
It is true, you learn something new every day!

I‘m sure this book must fit the prompt for #bodakyellow some way? I‘m too old to actually listen to the song but I do know hitler was as effed up as the lyrics and the song. 👵🏻unite! #aprella
