"Flashing Lights" -Paparizzi Pics (Pt.153)

The roof, the roof, the roof was NOT on fire this past Saturday! Too much damn misty rain, so we moved the party inside, and what a party it was. My long time friend, and a fav DJ of mine (who is also EVE's stage DJ) Miss Saigon, set it off early for those that attended with her signature brand of "Hip-80's-Pop-Rock" mixes she does best. Folks that came out seem disappointed that the roof wasn't a no-go but made the best of it, once the music (and drinks) kicked in. M-1 (of Dead Prez), DJ Kid Capri, Sway (of MTV, and one of the party's host), and Bonsu (XXL/King mag) all came out to peep the opening night, and spread the word. I 'm so used to doing events in BK I had forgotten how scantily dressed some women come out to party! I wasn't mad, I was just shocked and rudely re-awakened LOL. None the less the turn out was a descent one being that the rain was making things well...Wet. After awhile VIP had ran out of tables and used some chicks ASS(!) to do bottle service (see last two pics below)! WOW! Anyways, we're planning a "do-over" THIS Saturday (June 27th), and according to the weather (87 & sunny) we SHOULD be good money with the roof top being open this time around. Thanks to the Breakfast Club on this one, you guys are the future! Here's the addy again case you wanna come thru this weekend: 405 W.39th St. betwn 9th & 10th ave. 10pm-4am Hope to see you!

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.152)

Whoa, the feedback and RSVP's for this event ("Rock Wit It" -30 yrs. deep of Hip-Hop and R&B) was huge, but I never imagined it would be ANYTHING like this! We started off early with a model and designer search along with Butch Diva (we STILL need more models btw) around 7ish, which was already a party atmosphere. Chivas Regal stopped thru and hit the bar off with FREE product that everybody got lit off of (the "August 15th" drink did that). By 9pm, we threw the movie "Juice" on in the DVD, and the Ahficionados took over with their special brand of mood music. Then by 12am when DJ Goldfinger took over, folks were GONE! He went through hit after hit like he was Jay-Z freestylin' one take! Butch Diva's entourage changed into their party gear and it was "spandex & chaos" all night! I swore this is the MOST fun I've had at one of my events in a min. Song after song, after song, after song, he never let up to give cats a break from dancing. It was just that awesome! Well anyways, on to the next thing (back at ReBar) which will be Rock the Block BK presents "Bad To Def"-a Bad Boy v.s. Def Jam musical tribute party w/ DJ Goldfinger and the Ahficionados returning to do the musical honors JULY 24th folks (write that down somewhere now!). Thanks for the continued support and hopefully we'll see you at "BK All Day" -the huge July 4th BBQ (4pm-4am) too. I'll post details soon.
