me and mrs. jones, we got this thing goin on....

this video is fucking up my christmas. your girl Kelis comes back on the scene and shes looking real good. i can understand why Nas cant rap anymore. now beyond simple, shes hot-isms lets discuss some of the aesthetics/fashion in this video.

- first off Kels (yeah Kels not Kelis. we good like that. shes my dun.) amazing asymetrical perm with the nice swooped bangs. I LIKE!!! looks real fun but also nice and sleek. extra good look.

- the pink bikini with the sides gone. ive seen it before but homegirl wears it hella well. the vinyl(?) trim with pink is just....yeah. hot. nice to combine grown and sexy with girly colors.

- the big shades in the bikini scenes. seems like big shades should be done by now but... shes killin it!!! girl gwan do ya ting. CUE AIRHORN!

- a lady in a McClarane. exemplary. it says "hey, yeah i could have got a lamborghini that was the obvious choice for my quarter million dollar sports car. but, i said no. i decided lets refine our tastes a lil bit. lets mess with this McClarane and get a lil more classy".

- the jeans 3/4 body outfit with the frilly top. what the hell! but what the hell in a good way.

- her shoes throughout the whole thing = double plus good.

- the ganster grill with the Mrs. Jones nameplate and the button up and tie???? YES!!! God is in the details on this one. the way the green emeralds(?) in the grill set off the green in the tie can only be described as Machiavellian.

- lastly the awesome lighting for the party scenes. im in love with the on camera spotlight type of deal that I first saw in Fiona Apple's "Criminal" and then saw again in Pharell's "Frontin" and most recently made a lil appearance in Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind". Im glad to see it come back. creates a nice level of intimacy without getting into some creepy Terry Richardson jumpoff.

way to go Kels, you have indeed put some back and some neck up on it.
