Keeping up Appearances
One saturday night i was watching PBS for their British comedy show block that they used to air and I discovered a great sitcom called "Keeping Up Appearances" that I grew to love and any time I saw it was on I never missed the chance to watch it. The plot is simple Hyacinth wants to be high society and goes on ridiculous hijinks and shinanigans to finally be a member of high society and drives all those crazy with her plans and schemes. The show had lasted for many seasons then went off of the air and then had been brought back for a revival in the mid 90's.

Taco Bell is vegetarian friendly
I was vegetarian some time ago but still i do appreciate the fact that Taco Bell is one of the few fast food chains out there that is accommodating to the vegetarian Community as a whole. Also due to the fact that Taco Bell is vegetarian friendly as I said at the beginning of this sentence pita which is short for people for the ethical treatment of animals supports the restaurant chains Valiant efforts accommodate the vegetarian community and that's an awesome thing period when I went vegetarian long ago I worried that I would not be able to enjoy Taco Bell as I had when i did eat meat before I went vegetarianUnfortunately I have to do it that again for health reasonsPeriodSome of my favoritesOn the vegetarian menuThe cheesy bean and white rice burrito the Fiesta potatoesAnd just about anything else that came along with it. If I may go so far as to say because it's true that even the sauce is that Taco Bell provides our meatless and vegetarian too so they count as being vegetarian offerings on the Taco Bell menu as well. This is just one of the many ways in which taco Bell is an Innovative and fresh and forward thinking if you can believe it because they are fresh and forward thinking inApproaches to business and the culinary world as well. There are also cheese quesadillas and cheese burritos and all that fair and stuff and that's one of the reasons why Taco Bell has always been one of my favorite go-to fast food chains ever and always will I think I think my last meal's going to be a meatless or something from Taco Bell I don't know anyway period taco Bell is the best and I'm glad.

The Andy Warhol Brillo Box
Andy Warhol is the king of Pop Art and he had been the first to incorporate everyday items that we as a society would never think to turn into art, Andy did it first with the Cambpell Soup can and then with the Brillo Soap Box. There was an art collector family who had a Warhol Brillo Soap Box in their collection and it did become part of their lives which is really rare for a piece of art to be able to do that and the daughter of the family who was a film maker made a documentary about it.

The Homies
When I was in highschool I used to collect The Homies figurines and I thought that they were cool as I still do. They were created by David Gonzales a fictional latin barrio in california and they are tightknit. I had a couple of posters as well as the figurines too. Each piece is a beautifully done little piece of art. There is a little kid spin off appropriately titled "Mijos" which is spanish for my children or my kids.

Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey is the first water park and amusement park that I had ever went to. Years later when I graduated from highschool for our senior trip six flags in Boston was one of the places on our senior trip itinerary. We went to the land of Looney Tunes at this one particular Six Flags and Six Flags was always fun the two times that i had ever went there at different locations, of course. Six Flags great adventure is known for their awesome roller coasters and they are killer coasters and everything else is cool. If you ever have the chance to go to Six Flags I suggest that you do.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

Rikki La Rouge covers Thunder by Imagine Dragons
my version of thunder by Imagine Dragons is throwback to Latin music of the 1950s. It’s cha-cha mambo. I love how intense my version of thunder by . It’s Latin music with English language lyrics. It’s tropical music Ingles. It’s got drive and intensity. I wanted to be as if not a little bit more intense than the original version of thunder by the Imagine Dragons. once again when I was recording this, I was songs that were relevant around that time and this was one of the songs that I really paid attention to I thought it would’ve been cool to do a classic Latin version of thunder and so I went for it and I’m glad that I did.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.
