DJ Diva

has her own blogspot!


ABOUT DJ DIVA
This female DJ puts up a revolutionary worldwide new DJ concept with an erotic taste!
DJ Diva started her career on New Years Eve 2002. Being inspired by two friends, who were spinning records already, she didnt take DJ-ing for granted and followed a training-course at the Dutch DJ school in Amsterdam. Finally having her own DJ booth build in her house, made her able to practise a lot to gain all the experiences that she thought she needed.
But also being that way able to practise and to listen to music any time she liked! She planned to celebrate the New Years Eve night 2002 at the famous Expornstar party as a visitor, but suddenly Gijs (one of the famous brothers and promoters) asked her to go home to get her records because one DJ couldn't come. This was a big chance but also her first time playing for such a great audience. After playing one hour in front of 1000 people in a hot and amazing atmosphere, and during playing her set, they asked her to take something of...!? And so she did, and Topless DJ Diva was born! It was a success because that night some girls took spontaneous their bras of to take pictures with her.

Racist Ass Couch

From the Freakonomics blog I saw this Billy Ray Valentino special story.

Doris Moore was shocked when her new couch was delivered to her home with a label that used a racial slur to describe the dark brown shade of the upholstery.

The situation was even more alarming for Moore because it was her 7-year-old daughter who pointed out “n----- brown” on the tag.
