"Flashing Lights" -Paparizzi Pics (Pt.149)

I must say man, this Date Auction event we (the Minority Report, 2 Guys & a Gal, & The Bridge Lab) held this past Wed. at Aspen (22nd betwn 5th & 6th) turned out rather nicely! Not only was it a well dress mixed crowd of folks socializing and networking, the MUSIC selection by the Ahficionados was on point that night! A live jazz band played first, before "the Ah" took over the set creating a really laid back vibe. Both casual and sexy at the same time. I've NEVER held nor attended, a date auction... EVER...in my life. But this event made me think deeply about doing yet another one, like soon. Once the bidding started, so did the jokes, which made the mood a bit more light hearted and intimate, just in case folks were a bit shy with theirs. Big kudos to the entire crew and those that participated for putting this together and getting "the Bridge Is Over" group (see Facebook) back into the city for this one! It was a blast! And I'm not one to just use the word "blast" lightly (or ever at all, to be honest) Lol. I'll put you on when another one goes down. Here's a link to some more pics of the event from top to bottom, click here NOSEY!

"My Girl Likes To Party ALL the Time!" -Lovin' the Club...Literally!

As the weather gets better, and Spring has been fully sprung, sometimes tensions in relationships worsen and one starts to notice a sudden change in behavior. One may begin to wonder..."Is she see someone else?" Not that this has happen to me (or maybe it has, who knows). Well here's advice on what could be going on, It may not be another GUY but actual "the Club!" So fellas, please don't let this is "wake up call" go to voice mail. Lol. Read along the clues that your boo maybe "Lovin' the Club."

1) She knows the names and addresses of EVERY club/bar/lounge in town by heart, and can remember the other three names the club used to go by...in alphabetical order!

2) She wears VIP armbands as bracelets and hand stamps like tattoos.

3) She gets "shout-outs" from the DJ whenever you walk in to any club.

4) She has all party promoters in her top 5 cell numbers.

5) Receives cheek kisses from the bouncers, the cashier, the coat check girl, the promoters, the bartenders, the DJ, the owner AND the damn rest room attendants, yet NEVER worked there.

6)Frequents after work parties, but barely even works!

7) You only "date" between the hours of 5am to 8am.

8) You one day notice a group of off duty cabbies pointing and snickering, as you walk pass with her arm in arm.

9) She bought eye contacts the same color of Hpnotiq.

10) She carries around in her purse an array of wristbands, just to sneak into VIP.

11) Her daughter's name is Alize', and the twin are called Gin & Juice.

12) Her work clothes look damn near like her club clothes!

13) At least 5 of your good friends you know claim that they've taken her home after just meeting over breakfast after a night of partying, hence the secret nick name "Diner Vagina"
