At the moment my heart belongs to India Arie..I don't know what it is about her and her music but simply put...her songs feed and soothe my soul. Her music takes me to the most beautiful places. I would LOVE to record a duet with her before I die.... "I Am Not My Hair" is my ANTHEM!!! I' feeling the lyrics & the music to Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten. Kirk Franklin is the bomb!!! ANYTHING Motown or ANYTHING by Aretha Franklin. I am a big fan of TRUE SINGERS...ala Chaka, Dionne (Baddest technique on the planet!!!), Gladys, Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Whitney (in her prime). On the male side...Currently loving Jaheim (he could get a slice!), John Legend, Lyfe, Ne-Yo (this kid is the Smokey Robinson of his generation!)
I will listen to anything once even twice to get a feel for it..it has to make sense to me you know?....I love music that is beautifully orchestrated....you know....horns, strings, percussion, piano....the basics. I love GOOD music...I am big fan of hip-hop/rap but I don't like where it's going...I am not a fan of "crunk music" (Sounds like noise to me) I believe if you are going to open your mouth and influence people....PLEASE....For the love of God....
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY....Simple isn't it?
New artists who have piqued my interest (for the moment):
Amy Winehouse, Calexico, Robin Thicke & Believe it or not...Fergie (not all that moved by her voice...but her beats are funky as hell!...Okay...Rhianna (that "Shut Up and Drive" is a catchy little tune!)

About me: Statuesque, poised, graceful, striking...all of those adjectives aptly describe attributes belonging to Miss Sharon Quinn, affectionately known as the Original Runway Diva, due to her presence, style and unbelievable confidence on the catwalk. The 6 foot tall, shaved head beauty is most recently recognized from her appearances on all three seasons of the Oxygen Network's popular “MoNique's F.A.T. Chance,” on which she was runner-up on the first show (owing in large part to her memorable perfect 10 score during the lingerie segment, which left both men and women speechless), “den mother” to the contestants on the second installment and Casting Producer/Special Choreographer on the recent third season, which was filmed in the couture capital of Paris. The groundbreaking show, which caught the attention of millions of viewers, was the first nationally televised plus-sized beauty competition. Sharon graced television screens again in late 2007/early 2008 with her appearances on MTV's Emmy Award winning series, “Made,” as a “Made Coach,” assisting a young lady in her difficult quest to become a model. Sharon's episode of “Made” was not only the most-watched of that series, it also garnered a 2008 Daytime Emmy award! She has also appeared semi-regularly on Better TV, the Meredith Corporation's broadband television network for women. And Ms. Quinn has put on her producing hat for the Relentless Networks' groundbreaking Plus Size TV Channel.
A native New Yorker, in addition to her modeling prowess, Quinn is an accomplished vocalist and musical theater performer. Described by popular Village Voice columnist Michael Musto as “A Plus Voiced Goddess,” she recently ended a long run at B.B. King's Blues Club & Grill, where she was selected to be the opening act for Darius Rucker of Hootie & The Blowfish's New York City solo artist debut. A budding songwriter, she is also busily working on new tracks for her own solo album as well.
Sharon has launched her own website, www.sharonquinn.com, which features “The Runway Diva Says...” a popular online advice column for aspiring plus-sized models, her very witty and topical personal blogs, samples of her music and a slide slow of her notable career highlights. Additionally, she is completing her book, “The Runway Diva's Guide to Becoming a Plus-Sized Model (or Just Looking Like One!).” And Ms. Quinn's popular monthly column in Plus Model Magazine is a must read!
The busy, in-demand Miss Quinn began her career on the local circuit as a plus-sized runway model in the 80's, when plus sizes were a rarity in fashion shows. In 1995, she signed on with the legendary Wilhelmina Model Agency in New York City and began a long and successful career with a client list that included The Avenue, Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, Bloomingdales and Nordstroms. She became a familiar face on television as well as in print, starring in national television commercials for Weight Watchers and Just My Size and frequently modeling on ABC-TV's acclaimed morning show, “The View.” Most recently, she graced the runway on “Entertainment Tonight” for Queen Latifah's new clothing line, Curvations, and on BET's “Rip The Runway.”
A modern Renaissance woman, blazing trails wherever she goes, Sharon also teaches private runway instruction to aspiring models and travels around the country speaking to women, both young and older, about the power of loving oneself...first. The multi-talented Miss Sharon Quinn, who believes in surrounding herself with positive people and positive things, is a standout model/singer/songwriter/actress/author/commentator—and role model. She stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Surround yourself with positive people and positive things!

Excuses: The crutch of failure
Current mood: confident
I'm
going to do this, I'm going to do that, Yet nothing ever get's done. In
my mind I had big plans, When I looked at the progress being made,
There wasn't any. Procrastination is the sister to excuses. I always
had a reason for hibitually not getting something done. Because of all
the excuses I gave, I became a liar; No one believed anything I said.
Now sometimes an excuse is acceptable, Ex: Doctor's excues to maintain
your employment. I understand. I remember working on a job, Every week
I had an excuse to miss work, Guess what?, I was out the door. Out of
excuses slothfulness is born. Lazy individuals have more excuses than
solutions to eliminate them. The blame game is a common excuse for
failure. Something that happened in your life in the past or what
someone did or didn't do. I was caught up in that dilemma. I would hold
on to past experiences as a reason why something wasn't getting done or
why I wasn't doing something right. It's a shame how we can waste years
of our lives behind excuses. You could have a ticket on a road to total
success, But you always find a way to stay in a world not condusive or
the opposite of success. Fear is the father of excuses. People are
scared of higher levels GOD is ready to elevate them, So they find a
reason to stay where they are at. If you have a reason not to better
yourself or others around you, Your body is alive, But you are
spiritually dead. You are one excuse away from being physically
dead. Instead of coming up with a reason not to do something, I find
all reasons to complete the task. You are a winner, WINNER'S DON'T
QUIT!!!!!
