Doll domination - PCD

I was really excited about the release of the pussycat dolls new album today & had high expectations, and I’m happy to say it lived up to them. The pussycat dolls first made it big with their hit single “dont’cha” of course after the success of the single promo deals & tour dates soon followed along with even more hits and an album. This second album titled “doll domination” is slightly more darker than their previous album, it deals with more real life issues such as relationships & growing up. Leaving behind their trademark cabaret covers & tunes seems to have worked out for the band & not only do they pack in enough songs to keep you going until they release another album but they also include solo work from each band member - its clear when they first released their first material they were unsure of their sound & were spending a lot of time experimenting with different ideas & its looks like all their work has paid off. To me the songs sound like they could all be incorporated on stage for a live performance, personally I think they could have cutback on some of the other artists featured like snoop dogg & missy elliot but surprisingly enough the track featuring r kelly “out of this club” seems to work really well. a lot of critics are saying this album may be heading towards the bargain bins & there have been a lot of mixed reviews on their return so its really unclear what the outcome will be - I just know I like it & would definitely recommend it to any pussycat doll fans out there.

“qu'ils mangent de la brioche”

Oh yes one of the many highpoints of my day was baking a big chocolate monstrosity of a cake, instead of baking my usual batch of chocolate chip cookies I decided to give baking a cake a try & I’m happy to say the results are better than I expected! Weighing about the same as a bowling ball this cake is possibly the chocolatiest thing I will ever eat.. Of course I’m not going to eat the whole thing myself, I know if I was to undergo the selfish task of eating the whole thing myself there is a real chance of me dieing from a choc overdose not to mention blowing up so for now it will reside in the kitchen & not in my belly I can always eat the cookies while I come to a decision about the cake = )
