Michaeling Around the World: Destination #2 Rio De Janeiro

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:01:00 -0400

The year is 1996. There is a huge commotion going in Dona Marta, a shanty town near Rio De Janeiro. People all around are running to the frenzied energy that is about to take place. Is it President Fernando Henrique Cardoso? Or maybe soccer player Ronaldo? It is neither of them. The crowd goes into a fever pitch as they catch sight of the must unlikely celebrity in the most unlikely places of all: Michael Jackson has just arrived to Dona Marta.

To understand the perplexity (and clarity) of Dona Marta, one doesn't have to look far. One of the most dangerous shanty towns in the world, DM rarely gets any attention. This favela (slum) wouldn't be on anyone's vacation destinations (many stay in Rio with their beaches and supermodels), especially

Michael Jackson Babysat My Kids

Michael Jackson a sweet gentle twelve-year-old boy,was my son�s babysitter before he became the Michael Jackson Moonwalker. This memory came back vividly last night as news of his death was telecast all over the world.

This was in the summer of 1972 and my son�s ranged from ages 3 to 8. We were spending our last trip together as a family at the Playboy Club in Miami, which I thought was a crazy place to go with 3 young children. My husband had announced he wanted a divorce because he was feeling crushed by the weight of a family of four, mortgage payments, a job he hated. It was hard to concentrate on the boys because I was weepy and shaky for most of that visit. My boys were fascinated by the Playboy bunnies

*I am no way a certified expert since I've had no training and did not obtain a Certificate in MJIWT Awesomeness PHD. However, I've seen the show about (at press time) 4 times and learned enough to know that this show rocks. Also I got tired of the biased reviews and wanted to give an insider review of how the show really is.

Imagine if one day someone came up to you and said, "We want you to put on the biggest show in the world for one of the biggest entertainers in the world. It's going to go across the globe, reaching millions of fans, and it

Never Can Say Goodbye

This is a blog I've posted on mypace after Michael Jackson died. I thought I would share it on this website. This was back when I still tried to believe in God. There were so much anger and sadness. So many questions that I had that still remained unanswered.

Never Can Say Goodbye...

Tell me why, is this so?

On Thursday, my mother calls me and tells me that Michael was rushed to the hospital, so then I hang up from her and go to twitter and check developments.
When it became clear to me to that Michael Jackson was indeed deceased, my whole world as I then knew it was over. The grief is more than I can bear. It's still unbelievable

Make That Change

A few hours ago people around the world rang in the New Year of 2012 (and probably still are depending on your time zone) It was also a chance to look back of the year 2011. As a Michael fan, there has been many ups and down, but through it all I knew I could always go back to the music. While looking at personal New Year�s Resolutions, it didn�t surprise me that Michael finds a way to wedge himself smack dab in the middle of that list. I�m not talking about resolutions to tirelessly drive my family and friends crazy with my Michaeling (which I do anyways). I�m talking about something more deeper:
