JANELLE MONAE INVITES YOU TO VISIT HER AFROFUTURISTIC WORLD
Looking spiffy as usual, singer Janelle Monae is busily promoting her new BOOK- not album! When it comes to fashion- barely five foot tall Janelle does not disappoint. She says she is inspired by black and white tuxedo combinations and that dandyish look has become the “uniform” of her career. We rarely see her in designer fashions- most of her outfits seem to be created by HER- not a stylist. Having conquered the world of music and fashion, she now aspires to become a successful author. Her book is a collection of short stories by her and friends called The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer. The description is SO complicated: It takes place in an “afrofuturistic totalitarian world and explores queerness, race, gender, and love, while considering the possibilities of memory and time.” Can you imagine? Hope the subject matter doesn’t scare readers away…
