    The “Fancy” Music Video Party House

    ‘ I have never been very “hip” when it comes to music.  If it’s not sung by Michael Jackson, Michael Buble or Britney Spears, chances are I haven’t heard it.  So it should come as no surprise that when my friends Kim and Lavonna visited this past June and were singing the Iggy Azalea hit…
