Happy March. I wanted to share this amazing experience that took place at the Conga room 3-8-2010.  Funky-ness here Funky-ness there Funky-ness everywhere. Bootsy Collins and some friends had a memorial tribute to the Queen of Funk. Okay so Bootsy’s friends are George Clinton, Sheila E, Blackbird, the rest of the Funkenstein brides, The Parlets, Jamie Foxx’s Fox Hole players–more funk than I can count and little ol’ me Malina Moye of course. We had the chance to jam together sending off the Queen of funk- Mallia Franklin family funk style. Mallia Franklin, for those of you who haven’t had the chance to hear or see this beast of a singer, was vocally amazing and spiritually a very very sweet person. I remember when my brothers and I were kids, she and George Clinton would come to our house back in MN and my mom would cook southern home cooked meals and she would share all these amazing stories about music, life, and love, and it was always preceded by a jam with our family. Here is a clip of Bootsy calling Sheila E to the stage, as she takes her place and gives the drums a whipping. That girl on the Funk-tar is your’s truly Malina Wah Moye. Bootsy had the crowd to its feet singing the classic “We want the Funk.” After a great night of jamming  (Click here), something spectacular took place, that I will reveal later (trust me its good!!!)

I also wanted to thank Work Custom Jeans–OMG!!! One of my favorite new jeans check out their website at Work Custom Jean. You guys rock, I will post some pictures of the new gear they sent as i wear them out on tour but for now check out their website! Tell them Malina sent you! They are so form fitting yet comfy and the jean texture is amazing–my favorite right now is the Moto Zip in Manhattan. I’ll sport them on the morning show!! Also have some great news to announce!! I said that didn’t I, But I dooooooo!!!

I also had the pleasure of hanging out on the “My Uncle Rafael” movie set, directed by Marc Fusco who is a big part of the WCE team (he directed my video ‘Alone’). Congrads Marc you rocked and your film is going to be oh sooooo good. I met some cool people and left there with friends. The film stars the ‘Armenian Tyler Perry’ of our time Vahik Pirhamzei, Missi Pyle, John Michael Higgins, Anthony Clarke, Rachel Blanchard, and there is a young boy by the name of Sage Ryan, he will leave u speechless. My family came out to the location and my two brothers Twhy and Junebug from Conrtist also have a great song in the movie!!! U will have to go and see it!
