"Suits Me Just Fine!" -Getting "Diddy" With It For Casino Royale NYE BK Style

So the other day I tagged along w/ L.A. (the Stylistics Agency) to the Billyburg vintage spot 10 Foot Single to cop a last min option tux blazer, he was looking to rock for the NYE joint we're hosting tonight (you coming right?). None were his size, but there were some great selections to choose from. Below are some pics that my help you decide how to get your "Diddy on" for "Casino Royale" tonight. Btw we thought it was a strange coincidence that they had a huge James Bond poster their too.

"It's a Brooklyn Thang, You May Not Understand!" -Start Your NYE In BKLYN

It TRULY is a new day, if not one but TWO NYE parties are jumping off in Brooklyn that aren't gutter gutter "my mans and them" house parties, that you're not thinking about packing heat to. LOL! First there's Coup d'etat Brooklyn/ LITTLEFIELD's collabo 2010 New Year Bash. That will feature music, art and performances! Then on the other side of town is the Block Association's "Casino Royale"/James Bond themed NYE celebration that is all the buzz on the Internet right about now. That's a dressy fashion affair. GREAT alternative for folks not even thinking about leavin' BK. In the great words of Dres from Black Sheep) "The Choice is Yours!"

"Put'em On Glass!" -What's Your Favorite "Get Drunk" Songs? Here's My Top 5

Without question, New Year's Eve is the most alcohol influenced nights of all the holidays combined! And at 12 midnight on the dot, folks are ready to let loose! Eager to celebrate their successes of the year past, or toast to future endeavors of the year coming. Or simply just to get "s#@t-faced" and forget EVERYTHING! Anyhow, he's a list of tunes to do all the above (and more) to. And speaking of, I'm SO tired of people using alcohol consumption as an excuse for their loose behavior! If you wanted to leave the club with another dude KISHA, and "french" him down while giving the dude a freakin' "lap dance" (RIGHT in front of me mind you) be honest about it! I f#*%in hate your guts right now! Don't EVER call me! Lose my number, you're dead to me! Ummm, oh er, sorry I was just reminded of a past ummm "situation." Sorry about the random rant folks. My bad. Freakin' slut!

Trey Songz "Say Ahh"

Ron Browz (feat. Jim Jones) "Pop Champagne"

"Action Figure$" -Washinton & Law Wanna Piece Of The Action

I doesn't take a movie insider whiz to know that big action flicks are where the molah's at. Just look at the success of Avatar, or even Will Smith. Folks are not lining up just to see his acting prowess. For $12 a tix (sometimes more) folks wanna SEE what they paid for on screen. Every red cent. Especially if you're on a date and you're tying to score, a good movie will make things go even smoother right? Well anyways, here's two more actors that are throwing their hats into the action ring for the first time. Their new motto "M.O.B.B." money over being broke. LOL!

"A New Era (Re-) Cap" -Happy New Year's Everyone, And To All A Good Night!

Okay folks, we're almost down to the wire with New Year's Eve quickly approaching any day now! I can honestly say this is the MOST intense production and planning I've ever been involved with for an event of this calibur. The 2 movie style flier/invites, the decor the night of, the on-line buzz (Facebook, Twitter, Going.com, etc.), the promo teaser video(s), the in store ticket sales from boutiques, blackjack table rental, booking 4(!) DJs (Will Gates, Kohey, Ahficionados, Soundproof Int'l), the top ten Q&A list, and so forth. Whew...That's a lot! And trust me, seeing YOU appreciate and enjoy the last night of the year, will be well worth all of it. THANK YOU! 10...9...8...7...6...5...4 more days to GO!

"I'm Christmas(s) Texting You" -I'm Sharing One Of My Fav Holiday Tunes

First off let me start by saying "Happy Holidays to you", if you haven't received a (mass) text or personal (automated) phone call, or Facebook message from me wishing you that by now. Hope you had a joyous one, really...I do! But at the same time I'd like you to remember there IS a B-side (pun intended) to all this holiday joy that folks experience. Not to be a "Debby Downer" but some people DO spend the holidays alone as depressing as that my sound. For some it my be by choice, some by bad chance. Well al that aside, I wanted to share one of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite artist (Prince) that was a B-side to a Purple Rain single back in the day. Sad song, but so powerful at the same time. Dig if you will a song, and I'll see you guys in due time on New Year's Eve ("Casino Royale").


"Another Lonely Christmas." -Prince

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno 4 money
And u robbed me blind
Remember how u used 2 scream so loud
Cuz u hated that number 9
Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake
This afternoon
Good Heaven how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters, she's so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know, u are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Listen

Do you still like banana daiquiris?
Boy we used get so tight
Oh you used get so horny
You'd let me leave the lights on
I'd pay money just to see you laughing,
Dancing, silhouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear you smiling
Sometimes I think you're here
I find myself holding every pillow
On the bed you & I used to share
Last night I spend another Christmas
Darling you should be, you should be here

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Listen

My momma used 2 say
"Always trust your lover"
Now I guess that only applies 2 her
Cuz baby u promised me
Baby u promised me u'd never leave
Then u died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby

Last night I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, u, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said u were dead
And I, I said it's senseless
Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear u smilin' baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas night
Yeah, night yeah
Another lonely Christmas night

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the 1's I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

"Drop (The NYE Ball) Like It's Hot! -The New Year is QUICKLY Approaching...You Get Tix Yet?

The year 2009 is almost OVER! And WHAT a year it was huh?!? Well my personal thoughts are "Always end the year the same way you start it...CLASSY!" That's why New Year's Eve has traditionally been a HUGE holiday worldwide! So with that being said, let's end our year together with a BANG! Next Thurs. Dec. 31st "Casino Royale" is the ONLY NYE theme party in Brooklyn...or even NYC for all that matter. Tickets start at $30, VIP $300 per couple (w/table resrv & bottle), food served till 11pm, party over at 5am. 4 top notch DJs, 3 flrs. of music, a live drummer, blackjack table (till 2am) and the crowd will be fashionable as f@#k! That alone is enough to celebrate! Have a happy one wherever you decided to bring it in, but have a GREAT one with us.

Just so you socialites & fashion savvy folks know the magnitude of this event. Here are a few of the postings about this event that has the Internet buzzing! Click away

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.181)

Yo, If I didn't see it with my own two eyes I wouldn't believe it! In the center of a major blizzard the Brooklyn Circus pushed on to have their holiday party regardless of the snow storm. Good thing too, cause if folks made the effort to come out, and there was nothing going on, then it would have sat badly with folks. Anyways kudos to all that made it out, it was like a shut-in party once it got packed in there. People made their own heat, sweating up a storm to DJ Kohey & Goldfinger's tunes. If you missed this one have no fear, a "Do Over" party is being planned to make up for the blizzard attendance. In the meantime "Casino Royale" is happening New Year's Eve at the SAME location. Tix are STILL $30 bucks (till Dec.26th) on-line and soon purchasable in the Brooklyn Circus, Pedigree, & Private Stock stores.

"I'm On The (Nice) List!" -Gift ideas (For Me) In Case You're Stuck

Now I'm not a heavy drinker but it's HARD to turn down a bottle of some good bub my friend! Case you were wondering I'm a big fan of Veuve Clicquot (aka "Washington V.C." as we call it). I'll save it for New Year's Day to open so we can celebrate another year as Facebook friends (LOL).

I know this might be a stretch on your pockets but, think how cool it would be to tell your friends "Yo, he just texted me from his gold iPhone!" Huh? If you're gonna "upgrade me" this is a GREAT start! I may just drop the the "Y" from "wifey" next year, but that's if activation is included. (Wink nudge nudge)

I just SWORE I had this in my CD collection already but, nah it's that miss puzzle piece that I've just been too lazy to get around to picking up. If you come across these 3 CD set just do like Fab and "Thrown it in the bag!" then under my tree.











I always get complimented on how good the pictures look on the blog, but ya know what? They would look even BETTER if I started taking them with this bad boy here! I ONLY use Canon and so this particular model (Canon G11) is my "Mt. Everest" of cameras to get. It has HD video on it too, so all those intimate "home movies" we make can come out CRISP! It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I fell off on my cologne game, so I wanna start off the New Year with my own scent other than the musky one I already have. BOOM! Burberry Brit is that s#@t! I came across it in some GQ mag and was hooked! Now I won't have to go around smelling like "Brad Arm Pitt" once you wrap this up for me.

Wanna see a ni99a change his Facebook single status with the quickness? Wrap one of this things to go! This is another purchase that I've been procrastinating on getting for myself. Glad I waited too, cause now there's a slimmer model out. Not that I'm against plus-size models (lol). Plan B is the Wii system. The PS3 is my first selection, but "Wii" ain't made at Plan B either.

Now being that the PS3 is a Blu-ray disc player included in it, I'm gonna need some Blu-ray movies now right? Here's some can't lose option you may wanna consider for me.




ANY season of "Curb" is cool I'm missing almost all so...











My computer's working just fine but, I'd work even finer once I unwrap the Mac Snow Leopard upgrade you give me. Thank you SO much. I'll e-mail you how it's working out for me.

True be told I'm thankful for WHATEVER you get me (as long as it's on this list). Your love, friendship and continued $upport (IE money in a card) is more than enough for me. Thank you in advance.
