Much like how He-Man calls on the Power of Grey Skull to gain his fabulous powers, I also have a secret weapon when confronted with difficult creative tasks like fighting Skeletor's Wolf Bats or finishing the first set of Mt. Plushmores for part of a hopeful submission to Schmancy's Plush You show.
I raise my pinking shears high above my head and call upon the Power of Fresh Prince.
Yeah boiii -- I am talking about West Philadelphia born and raised Will Smith. If I have the Freshie-Fresh on in the background while sewing and constructing, I can literally work on a project for hours without getting distracted or feeling tired.
It's an inexplicable phenomenon. I have even been laying in bed with Nick-at-Nite on the sleep timer and a ferry ticket to the Land of Nod, but upon hearing the opening theme to The Fresh Prince I will feel the need to finish a project or spontaneously come up with a great idea I have to jot down.
(Though, peculiarly, the clothes and objects I've sewn speak nothing to Will's early fashion choices of Fly Boi neon crop tops and Hammer Pants ...)
Between the fact that I somehow casually watched the show every week as a 14 year old and my new found muse in my mid-twenties, I have seen and remember every single episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in existence. Every. Single. One. Within the first 3 minutes of the teaser, I can tell you the plot, hilarious moments to watch for, and if they do a dance routine. Please feel free to challenge me whenever you feel the need.
In short, I am working on several plush additions to the Monocol family, so look for that update.
Cocaine? LSD? Crystal Meth? Naw son, I just need Will, Carlton, Uncle Phil, and (the original) Aunt Viv.
I'll leave you with a Fresh Princeism I've coined myself after many years of observing the master:
You may attract more flies with honey, but you get more honeys when you are this fly.

p.s. I hate almost every thing Will Smith has done post-Fresh Prince. For the record.
