"Magic World" is a song from Mista Cookie Jar's debut children's album, The Love Bubble (Urban Island Folky Rock N Roll for the Inner Child). His band of kids, the Chocolate Chips, includes Ava Flava--the flavorful 9 year old butterfly rapper, her brother, Lucas, aka Professa P gettin jiggy, and Miss Mikyla the Lollipop Princess. Also featured are Peachy Keen the Woodland Fairy, Michael the Pimpin Leprechaun, Georgia Smarty Pants, Georgia the Dog, Jessica the Hula Hoop Witch, butterflies, caterpillars, snails, a turtle, a crowned toad, and the many young Chocolate Chips who hopped aboard the Love Bubble on the way to school.
Had a great video shoot yesterday! Not only was it a beautiful sunny day despite the "showers" in the forecast, I held a colorado river toad with a crown, drove a magical wonderbus, and gave a leprechaun with bling a ride home. Feeling blessed and grateful for our friends and family--the wonderful crew we had! There's really so much more but you'll have to wait for the video...
Catch my quote and mention of Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips' performance at The Green Expo this past weekend in an LA Daily News article by clicking Green Expo kicks off spring.

The Green Expo is a multi-city event showcasing green technologies and products. We were spreading our own brand of green for the environment - The Love Bubble - at the Main Stage on Saturday and the Children's Pavilion both days. We met alot of fun folks, including the creator of Norky (norky.com) and musician extraordinaire/metaphysical healer, Michael Lee Gogin who among many things is the lead singer of the "Mini Kiss" band and the bell hop in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
