Julia Leigh Nicoletti

Art Appreciation

I came across a video by body paint artist Roustan of a beautiful person named Julia Nicoletti. As mentioned in his video, Roustan knew Julia as a model and artist. She passed away unexpectedly at a very young age. To preserve her memory, he used VR footage to create a memorial of her in the metaverse. Watch his video HERE.

Julia Leigh Nicoletti, was born on June 14, 1994 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was a multi-talented artist and model who is remembered for her free spirit, outgoing personality, and unique creativity.

After graduating high school, she attended a few colleges and universities to pursue her interest in the arts. She moved to the West Coast to focus on her art and photography and began a career in modeling. 

Julia passed away at the age of 25 on November 2, 2019 due to what may have been a Fentynal overdose.

Bell Biv Devoe - Do Me!

Music Appreciation

If I may borrow from a Garth Algar quote, watching Bell Biv Devoe's Do Me! on MTV when I was in my teens made me, "feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym-class." 

Released on June 10, 1990, Do Me! embodies the essence of early '90s R&B, with a blend of R&B, hip-hop, and new jack swing. Produced by Bell Biv Devoe and Carl Bourelly, the track is characterized by its pulsating bassline, infectious drum pattern, and catchy synth hooks. 

The song, which revolves around the pursuit of love, passionate desire and sex, reached number three in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for 22 weeks. Proving that there were a lot of us who felt kinda funny and liked it; more so with the music video.

The music video, which was directed by Lionel C. Martin, created a captivating visual experience showcasing the trio's choreography talent, and urban hiphop fashion of the '90s.
