"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt. 282)

Where were you last Sunday? If you answered NYC and wasn't in attendance at the sexiest monthly brunch in town , then that's a MAJOR #fail on your behalf! Now this wasn't THEE best one we've (Gary Grant, Lyshaan Hall, & myself ) hosted @ DUO restaurant, but it damn sure is up there in the top five I'd say! I guess the word is spreading quick that this is the place to be every last Sunday (of the the month) cause damn near most of the tables were spoken for only an hour into us opening the doors. As expected the ladies came out looking quite exquisite I must say. So fellas step yo game UP! ESPECIALLY now that summer is right around the corner you can just imagine the looks they're about to sport once the weather breaks...right! Anywho, here's  flick of the attendees from a Sunday ago. And a couple of pics from a Black Light Ent. NFL draft event I was at added below too. Next one up @ DUO will be Gary Grant's b'day (Sunday, May 27th day party 2pm-8pm) w/ and after party directly across the street at Pranna hosted by BlackLight Ent. (10pm-4am) Memorial Day weekend...RSVP NOW! theBlockRSVP@gmail.com

"April Showers!" -The Block Makes It Reign For April (Is Black Fashion Month '12)

I heard a wise man once say "It's better to plan way AHEAD, so you don't fall on your BEHIND!" and we (the Block Association /Block Boys) take those words of wisdom to heart. That's why within this meeting (captured below in blk & wht) we made sure we had a GREAT variety of events lined up to usher in our annual "April is Black Fashion Month" campaign for this year.  So without further ado, here's a few "Save-The-Date" dates of interest you may wanna definitely mark down on your iCal to attend. Oh yeah keep in mind that most events if not all listed will be FREE of charge to attend w/ RSVP to the BlockRSVP@gmail.com with event title in subject line. And being that it IS Black Fashion Month we're pushing for designers, make-up artist, hair stylist, stylist, models and so on are encouraged to contact us to showcase themselves at any listed event below (theBlockAssoc@gmail.com). Get your smartphones out and starts writing 'em out A$AP!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.257)

Now this event for yet another NBA draft party held at the Hiro Ballroom that happened some weeks ago brought to you by my man Anton Marchand, but I've been SO swamped with work that I'm FINALLY just now getting around to posting them up. At first I was hesitant but my boy Carlito insisted that he was getting hounded by people looking and expecting to see their photos up, I gave in and said "F**k it, hey why not?" So without further ado there the 2-3 week old pics that "the world" has been patiently waiting for.
