I’m not sure if it’s the Neon gas pumping through your synthetics,
Or your penchant for Louboutins, that’s got you putting on,
But you put me off.
I would have never imagined the uniqueness of Harajuku,
Could ever be condensed into a plastic, vacuous form.
The vibrance and eclecticism of the city mocked by sensationalism,
Cheapened by your carelessness and trend.
What a weight to carry,
Such a burdensome load to bear an infamous ambivalence in your name.
To expose your empty lyricism without shame,
Basking in the acclaim of the impressionable and weak.
Relishing that you can make painted up whores look chic.
Perhaps it was the hype,
Or the exaggerated sensuality of your curves,
As they are unattainable and you are unobtainable.
I imagine you laying there, perhaps many personalities ago,
Filling your behind and chest with confidence and superficiality.
I imagine you becoming ‘whole’ under a green wig.
Masking your pain with a façade of rebelliousness and nonconformity.
I imagine you as a slave to your own mind.
Riding as a backseat driver to your own personas,
Geppetto to your own minion of Pinocchios.
Breathing life, a iniquitousness that cannot be extinguished by your hand,
Or others.
As you are not just you,
You are what you represent:
Deception and uncertainty,
Sexuality and commodity,
Anarchy and disorder; (Dissociative Personality Disorder to be specific.)
Your release from Pandora’s Box is sadly enduringly prolific.
When will the Pink mist disperse,
And the masses wake?
To realize what we thought was a diamond,
is just a cheap fake?
(Original Poem by Blue Aura)

Welcome to my world!
Welcome to the Urban Anthropologist!
I am sure many of you wonder why I have chosen this title for my blog, but lucky for you, this is the Introduction to the mind of Blue Aura, the Urban Anthropologist.
Let's begin with the basics: Anthropology (in which I have received formal training) is the study of man in all aspects (biological/evolutionary, linguistics, archeology, and cultural), I am focused on the Cultural aspect. My use of 'Urban' strictly entails the genre(s) I am researching, and writing about.
Real women with real minds are coming to blow yours...Eat your heart out Barbie.
Till we meet again,
The Urban Anthropologist

You see, so much of the Entertainment industry is enigmatic to the rest of society. My blog is designed to remove the frills and facades of the Music industry, particularly Hip-Hop/R&B, and show the sides many of you have never seen; or know exist. This is not a blog to glorify rappers and others involved in this industry, it is to remove their pedestal-to make them human. This blog is designed also to inspire young women to love their bodies, instead of seeking to change it with evasive surgery.
Hip hop is one genre of music that glorifies the unrealistic curves of a woman, and plants the seeds of inferiority in the minds of young ladies aspiring to be the object of desire for many of their celebrity crushes. These artists magnify the 'importance' of large breasts and large hips and ass, which are traits rarely obtained naturally. I am writing to prove that natural, intelligent women can win the hearts of their desired celebrity, instead of settling for less; allowing fake, vacuous ‘Barbies’ to steal our places in society. In short, I’m shutting down the fake, and uplifting the real. Look out NY, GA, TX, CA, as a new trend is catching on,
Real women with real minds are coming to blow yours...Eat your heart out Barbie.
Till we meet again,
