SOUL SUNDAYS

What's up welcome back to Mrs. Toon$ Soul Sunday's!  

Todays artist is 21st Century "Remember the Rain" & "Child".  Marvin Smith was the writer and producer of "Remember The Rain" and "Child".  These records are over 30 years old. 24 track analog was the standard then. Those songs were recorded at the Sound Factory West and Wally Heider in Hollywood. Wah-Wah Watson, James Gadson, Henry Davis, George Bohannon, Jack Ashford, Eddie "Bongo" Brown and Sonny Burke were among the many musicians who played on those records back then. Mark Davis, also produced some of those tracks. In retrospect, I still think they were "Ahead Of Our Time" album (1975) had better songs on it then the subsequent album on Motown "Break Thru." The former was a labor of love...the latter about satisfying a contract. After raising a family, finishing his legal studies and just enjoying life Marvin Smith created an online record company, Dangerous Minds Entertainment Group - Worldwide (dangerousmindsonline.com ) they are developing several new acts, and surprisingly a few recently booted from major labels have expressed interest.  They are also working on a 21st reunion Album.  I'm including footage of this Seasons American Idols auditions of a young gentleman by the name of David Leather Jr.  When he chose "Remember the Rain" as his song I was so excited to see that the younger generation is continuing to keep this music alive.  He sings this song to the "T" it gives me chills.  Not sure if he is still a contestant but hopefully he is and continues to choose soul music in his acts. 

Thanks for "Tooning In"

Megan Fox’s Rib Tattoo Photoshopped Out Of Magazine Cover

While most people would agree that Megan Fox has a perfect body, even she couldn’t escape couldn’t escape being Photoshopped in the may issue of France’s Grazia magazine. But unlike most publications, Megan didn’t go under the digital knife to cover up cellulite or shrink her waistline; Instead, the editors of Grazia erased her back tattoo!

While one of Megan’s tattoos, a quote from William Shakespeare‘s King Lear, was shown in the picture, her other inking, a Nietzsche quote, was completely wiped out!

The magazine editors clearly didn’t mind her Shakespeare tattoo which reads: “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies,” but took issue with the words by the German philosopher, reading, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

However, on the inside pages of the same edition of the magazine, the exact same shot of Megan is shown – with her tattoo along her rib cage still intact.

The Transformers actress is known for her love of skin art and has a total of eight tattoos throughout her body. Last year, Megan revealed that she was undergoing laser surgery to have a portrait of Marilyn Monroe removed from her forearm. “It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar,” Megan said. “I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.”

Megan Fox, Tattoo Removal Is "Incredibly Painful"

Megan Fox is still stuck with Marilyn Monroe. Or, more specifically, a tattoo of the Hollywood icon.

Nearly a year after it became pretty obvious that she was working on losing the image of Marilyn from her forearm, Fox reveals on Ellen today that she has yet to get it completely taken off.

"You are having a tattoo removed," Ellen DeGeneres says while bringing up the topic. "It's more painful than getting a tattoo from what I've heard."

"I've only done one session on it, but it is incredibly, incredibly painful," replies Fox. "Wherever the ink is, the laser hits it and it sort of pops up like little pieces of popcorn and explodes your skin. It's really awful. So kids, don't ever get tattoos!"

Unless, of course, exploding skin is your thing.

Demi Lovato first Tattoo, "you make me beautiful”

Great Looks of Demi lovato at ALMA. She show her first Tattoo "you make me beautiful”

Demi’s first tattoo was revealed in June 2010, 2 months before the Disney star’s 18th birthday. The tattoo is of the words “you make me beautiful” written on the right side of her ribs. The phrase comes from the song “Beautiful” by Bethany Dillon, a song which Demi claims changed her life. When asked about it’s meaning, she explained:

The words were so encouraging and lifted me through a really dark time in my life. It’s kind of a Christian tattoo, so for me it’s religious, but it could be for anybody.

Demi later added a pair of feathers to the piece which were first shown off in September 2011, though it is not known precisely when they were actually added. This tattoo is very rarely seen so it seems that Demi got it mostly as a reminder to herself. Demi had the uplifting words inscribed in a time when she was still struggling, before receiving treatment for her eating disorder and cutting.

Miley Cyrus Largest Tattoo

Dreamcatcher is Miley Cyrus Largest Tattoo, it is placed on her right rib.

In February 2011 Miley had a dreamcatcher tattooed on her right side. This is her largest tattoo to date. A friend told People Magazine:

“It’s a picture of the dream catcher that hangs over her bed with four feathers to represent her four brothers and sisters. The dream catcher is to protect them.”

Dreamcatchers are used in many Native American cultures to protect a person while sleeping. The are hung over the bed and are thought to catch bad dreams and only let good dreams through.

The Cyrus family is part Cherokee and all seem to be inspired by Native American imagery. Miley’s brother Trace has a dreamcatcher on his neck as well as portraits of Geronimo on his hand and back. Father Billy Ray Cyrus has Geronimo and Chief Joseph on his arms.

Tori Spelling Tattoo

Tori Spelling is showing Her Tattoo on her left ribcage. It is latering tattoo.

Tori Spelling's tattoo reads:

Journey with me my love
and I promise you my heart
and I promise you my soul
for my bounty is as boundless
as the sea and my love as deep;
the more I give to thee, the more
I have, for both are infinite.

As for the baby and her fuller figure, Tori says,

"I eat everything when I'm pregnant. Who cares about carbs when you're pregnant? You're going to get big no matter what. I'm just constantly hungry. I feel like I'm definitely more hungry than the first two pregnancies."

Emma Watson, "Tramp Stamp" Tattoo in Short-Shorts

The Harry Potter actress added a touch of glamour with having a temporary tattoo done.

Clad in Daisy Dukes, a bra top, a leather jacket and high heels, the Harry Potter starlet, who turns 22 Sunday, flashed a large temporary tattoo across her tailbone -- body art that is most commonly referred to as a "tramp stamp."

Actress Emma Watson had heads turning with her new rebellious look on the set of "The Bling Ring." The 22-year-old actress flaunted a "tramp stamp" tattoo, a bralette top, denim shorts and stiletto heels while filming scenes in Venice Beach.

Emma Watson's tramp stamp tattoo garnered the most attention, as many fans debated whether the ink was real or not.

Watson was photographed baring a large and ornate lower-back tattoo, with orange and red flames. Fans worried that the "Harry Potter" star had gone and inked herself for real. "

Here are the other Emma Watson Temporary Tattoo:
