"Black Excellence, Truly Yours!" S/0 To My Fam!

Being that there is no other news happening other than the debate about cancelling the roof top party tomorrow
because of the "Noah like floods." I decided to take the time to put the spotlight on my fam's latest accomplishments in recent weeks.

First up is baby girl Tiara Perry who if you were paying attention was in the Uni-Qlo Flagship Store recruitment ad that ran in yesterday's amNY paper. Kudos to you! Get that PAPER...ad!

And speaking of Brooklyn girls, our home girl Aisha Hinds scored ANOTHER magazine cover w/ the August issue of Heart & Soul out on newsstand as we speak! So clap clap bravo to that as well man, she steady getting WORK!

And lastly but never least our adopted fam Jason Smith Jr. will be toasting his life so far on Earth this Monday with a HUGE dress up affair injunction w/ VIBE magazine that folks will copy and talk about for many birthdays after he pulls this off w/ a SMASH!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.260)

WHOA! Is it JUST me or was last Saturday's joint at the World Bar on of the SEXIEST bumbaclot parties this summer? Open bar, DOPE venue, GREAT looking fashionable crowd... this joint was legit! DJ Trauma did DJ duties so the music being on point was a given! S/O to all who came out looking stylish without us even stress on the invite for you to be. FYI this was just a fill-in move for the usual "Sweet & Vicious" party thrown at the Empire Room we do EVERY Saturday. And what a awesome move it was! Seeing everyone dressed so mature makes me even more excited about our upcoming dinner party next Monday (7pm-11pm) "Prim & Proper" injunction w/ Vibe magazine for Jason Smith Jr's b'day! Hit us up at theBlockRsvp@gmail.com if you're dressed and ready to get down while chowing down. BTW we're BACK at the Empire Room this weekend w/ ya man DJ Goldfinger! Yerrrr!
