Very hot. I kinda wanna see how he'd be if he chose the Senegalese flag tho

Amazing conclusion to the 1000 cards story! I would love to see what would happen if Eric had picked the Senegalese card though...

The morning after he picks the Senegalese card, Eric swears he’s getting darker-skinned by the minute. Every time he glances in the mirror, he looks darker, hunkier, more vascular. He’s turning into an absolute beast.

Out at the club on Sunday night with Blair, Eric loses himself in the groove within minutes. He’s bumping and shaking like the music is in his blood. Something about EDM just lets loose sparks in his brain. He grinds so hard against Blair that the little guy almost falls over, but Eric just picks him up and puts him on his broad shoulder.

After his session with Aaron the next day, Eric has a sudden brainwave. “Bro, come stretch with me,” he says. On the mobility mats, he finds himself suddenly dropping into an easy split, bending forward over his front leg to really feel the stretch in his bulky brown hamstring.

Aaron watches in amazement. “I didn’t even know guys your size could bend like that,” he says.

“Dancing,” Eric replies, switching to the opposite leg. “I spend all my time dancing back home.” As he says it, he thinks: Where is home again?

He checks his phone later, and finds tons of pictures of his dark-skinned, curly-haired body riding boats with a dozen uncannily similar looking men and women. Of course, it’s from the last family reunion in Dakar! A griot family like his keeps close ties to each other, no matter how far apart they live. Eric jumps in the family whatsapp and sends an emoji in response to his auntie’s latest culinary photoshoot.

By midweek, Eric notices that his voice has dropped again. He’s speaking slower, his accent smooth and musical. Blair shivers when Eric rumbles in his ear.

“I can feel your voice right through your chest,” he says, lying back on top of Eric. He’s a comfortable weight, like a dumbbell between Eric’s pecs.

Eric laughs deep in his throat, just to feel Blair shudder with pleasure again.

Life’s not perfect. School’s pretty hard as an economics major, especially as the first in his family to come to the States for college. Eric has no idea how he’s going to explain to his family that he’s dating not one non-Wolof boy, but two different non-Wolof boys. But that’s not his problem right now. All Eric has to worry about right now is going dancing, dicking his boys down, and getting ready for football practice to start up again in a couple of weeks.

He doesn't even think about the cards again until months later.

Hamilton Frederick Bohannon (March 7, 1942 – April 24, 2020), often credited and known professionally simply as Bohannon, was a percussionist, bandleader, songwriter, and record producer, who was one of the leading figures in 1970s disco music.

He began playing in local bands, one of which featured guitarist Jimi Hendrix, before graduating from Clark College with a BS in music and secondary education. After a brief period as a schoolteacher, he was recruited as a drummer in Stevie Wonder’s touring band. He moved to Detroit and was employed by Motown as the leader and arranger of Bohannon & The Motown Sound, who provided backing for many of the label’s top acts on tour, including Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Diana Ross, and the Supremes, The Four Tops and others.

He formed an ensemble, featuring members of the local band, The Fabulous Counts, including such musicians as Ray Parker Jr. and Dennis Coffey. He signed with the Dakar label and released his debut album Stop & Go. This was followed by five more albums for the label over the next two years, on which he “perfected his formula of heavy, thudding bass accents and aggressive rhythms”. Although several of his tracks were club hits, he had limited chart success. His first hit single was “South African Man”, which reached #78 on the Billboard R&B chart, but had more success in the UK, where it reached #22 on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed by “Foot Stompin Music” - his only record to reach the US Billboard Hot 100 - and “Disco Stomp”, his biggest hit in the UK where it reached #6.

Much of his music has been widely sampled. Other musicians who have used samples of his music include Jay Z, Digable Planets, and Snoop Dogg. His name was repeatedly invoked in the Tom Tom Club song “Genius of Love.” His composition “Ooh!” was included in Mary J. Blige’s album Love & Life.

Peachtree Street in Newnan, Georgia became Bohannon Drive. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha

Pharrell Williams @pharrell named Louis Vuitton @louisvuitton men’s creative director Williams steps into one of the highest-profile jobs in fashion.  Multi-hyphenate musician and entrepreneur Pharrell Williams will become Louis Vuitton’s next creative director of menswear, the brand confirmed on Tuesday, following a Wall Street Journal report.  The appointment fills one of fashion’s most high-profile vacancies, open since Virgil Abloh died in November 2021. A flurry of names have been touted for the position, including designers Martine Rose, Grace Wales Bonner, Samuel Ross and Jonathan Anderson. KidSuper founder Colm Dillane is also thought to be in the running, having participated in the creation of Louis Vuitton’s Autumn/Winter 2023 collection. It marks the first big decision of Pietro Beccari, who, on 1 February, took the helm of  the world’s largest luxury brand from outgoing CEO Michael Burke. Williams is no stranger to fashion. He is co-owner of streetwear brand Human Made with Kenzo creative director Nigo; founder of the Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream streetwear brands; co-owner of G-Star Raw Denim; and a regular collaborator with Tiffany. The entrepreneur ventured into beauty with gender neutral brand Humanrace in 2021.  He is also a longtime friend of Chanel and served as a muse to the late Karl Lagerfeld and attended the recent Métiers d’art show in Dakar. He also attended the Off-White show last February in Paris.  Williams is also among those slated to unveil new design concepts at  Moncler’s latest Genius activation during London Fashion Week on 20 February. A representative for Williams could not be reached for comment for this story. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cop7ss8P5ur/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

O que é o Raceville, o primeiro autódromo tipo club que está sendo construído em Brotas-SP

Como o Autodromo club (Thermal Club) que a Indycar correu esse último final de semana , é um club para os amantes do automobilismo , com apartamentos ao redor , pista de kart, pista Off Road , com alugação de carros para usar a pista em track day, com simuladores. No Raceville em São Paulo projeto do Caca Clauset , piloto de rally que já esteve no Dakar nos anos 2000.

Muitas pessoas estão com duvida se terão corridas oficialmente da pista como Stock Car, Porsche Cup, Nascar Brasil , por ter os apartamentos em volta ,por questões de ruídos , vale lembrar que teve o caso de Laguna Seca nos Estados Unidos que poderia ater fechar por causa dos prédios ao redor, más na minha opnião eu acho que as pessoas que comprarem apartamentos ao redor , por se tratar de um club para os amantes da velocidade não vão se importar.
