"Reach For The Sky!" -Hotel Roof Top Party Revenge!

I normally don't post after a certain time of the day, but I had to get this out to the world ASAP! Last Saturday's roof top soiree' was a mothereffin' PROBLEM! And if you failed to get in THIS time, I can't call it man! We sent you a "save the date" flier, sent out a private invite on Facebook, BBM'd you an e-mail address (theBlockRSVP@gmail.com) to RSVP to, mass text message, ray ray ray, and you STILL managed to come late and get stuck just flights away from the action! #LAME! Please help me understand why after umphteen bangin' events, word of mouth buzz on the street, plus the follow up pics and videos, you think we playin' games? That's like showing up for gym with hard bottom shoes on! You gonna lose each and every time! You ignored all that till the day of and now you're stuck in the lobby steaming, all dressed up with no roof top party to go! SMGDH! I'm stressing this to say you (yet again) missed a joint that was sexy as f**k! The music, the food, the vibe, the LOOK...oh GAWD! Don't get it twisted Gary Grant packs 'em in all on his lonesome! But with that added push from our comrades (the Block Boys & the Journ3y Men) the turnout was on some other other level s**t! Word to Justin Bieber! And once that duck duck (Grey) Goose started flowing it was a fajita! Turban! Wet towel! I'm DONE! FINITO! But wait...there's more! Here's the video to help you drip dry that wack juice you soaking in! Wash yo face! Free speech! Oh, almost forgot to tell you (whispering) the W hotel is up NEXT! Yerrrr! RSVP theBlockRSVP@gmail.com all day!

"Making Black Berry Jelly!" -The NEW iPhone Is Coming 4 That Ass! BBM THAT Suckers!

Now WHO didn't see THIS one coming?!? Just as I was about to make my first iPhone purchase (cause my current phone as been acting like a real jackass!) I see these ads boasting about the release of a even better designed iPhone on the way. This one has an OS4 operating system (whatever that is), two-way camera, app folders(!) to categorize them better. Thinner, sleeker design, voice calling, and best of all...video chatting! The damn thing even tells you how many times one individual has call you! Like for example, it'll say via voice "Sarah Conner has called you three times consecutively! Damn that bitch is annoying!" That's GANGSTA right! For that feature alone, I NEED that in my life! LOL! Man I'm convinced that Steve jobs owns a freakin' time machine yo, and is stealing ideas from the future! That or he's secretly an alien (and NO not Mexican)! So I say "Boost" that mobile you currently own out the nearest window, "Sprint" over to another service provider, and ditch that "Metro BS". BlackBerry owners can get off the "balls" too! Cause the future will now be in your hands, you make the call! My upgrade is not due till October, but I'm taking offers for a replacement phone till then. Holla if you can hear me now! * Side Note* My early prediction is the iPad will get video chat next! WATCH!

"Born (Day) To Be Wild!" -Advice On Proper Birthday Etiquette

Can we talk? No seriously I've been think since I've been attending SO many b'day events (besides my own) as of late that I think I have become somewhat of an authority on the proper etiquette one SHOULD have at said events...Right? Okay now let me give you a brief run down on a certain level of "class" one must have when hosting OR showing up at these things. You ready? Okay for starters;

One, If you've been invited give the person a definite answer on weather you're attending or not. "Maybe" just sounds like to them "Something MORE important may come up so..." If they felt you should be there don't leave'em hanging even if the answers "NO, I can't make it."

Speaking of that, DON'T be dumb enough to post pictures to Facebook of the OTHER party you really were at instead. It's bad taste, like 2 week old cake homie!

If the person means SOMETHING to you, and you're showing face, bring SOMETHING! Cards never get old (credit or gift, if it's for me), a bottle of wine, flowers...Something! Don't come empty handed like you homeless, you need CHANGE for real.

If you're hosting a b'day DON'T make things awkward by inviting ALL your old "bang out buddies" aka "jump-off & ons" IE "bed sheet sweets" it's NOT a good look folks. The 2 second convos ending w/ "Give me a min, I'll be RIGHT back..." the game show kisses, and them playing detective, lurking around to see WHO takes your drunk ass home, asking around "So ummm, HOW do you know him/her?" Is NOT the move. Put 'em all in the same room like some "Greatest hits album" is for your EGO and your ego alone. And "alone" you will be, once the $#it blows up! I say NO.

Don't show up at an ex's b'day (drunk) looking to win them back. It's NOT the time for that. Especially when there are FOUR others in the room, looking to do the SAME thang! Play your position, come for a few hrs. to say "Hi" and bounce w/ your pride intact. Period.

Don't attend an ex's b'day and start picking up no.s #. It's just tacky. Whom ever you're meeting there KNOWS him or her somehow right? Unless you guys are Digable Planets ie "cool like that" I say pass. You'll see them again somewhere else.

If the B'day person is really close to you and you care, PICK UP the damn phone! Stop with all that texting BS. Use those rollover mins. to just say "Hey, happy b'day my dude!" Trust me, that lil' bit means SO much more to them.

If you're gonna invite you parents to your B'day gathering, don't introduce to all you "slutty buddies." Parents get a lil' "fire water" in 'em and they start forgetting names and $#it, telling the truth about how they REALLY felt about them. $#it can get ugly.

DON'T get SO wasted! I see this one too many times folks, I CAN'T stress this enough. Who wants pictures of themselves "$#it-faced" all over Facebook, Youtube, or whateva the next day, of what WAS suppose to be a joyous occasion? AWKWARD! You spoil it for EVERYBODY man! Save friends from having to explain the next morning of why the bouncers shoes had to be surgically removed from yo dumb ass. Just cause you got "Kanye'd out on Henny" and started to "skeet skeet" to the window, to the wall...FOR REAL! Apology NOT accepted! You getting TOO old for that now man! Grow up, not THROW up...Chump!

STOP going broke like it's yo last b'day! Who wants to spend their b'day in the dark once the lights get cut off? You'll be using them candles from your b'day cake ALL week Boo! Friends SHOULD be spending on you!

STOP booking out these "Ritz(y) cracker" clubs out! You don't need friends coming, all dolled the f@#k out to celebrate with you, just get turned away, MAD at yo ass! Hearing "Sorry sir, we're at our BLACK man capacity tonight!" Doesn't sound good AT ALL! Especially when I put on "the good hard botttoms" for yo ass! Then you get the "Oh if you're doing bottle service we can get you right in sir. But you're gonna have to put this white stuff on your face when you go in, and tuck the chains in too." Oh HELL NO!

And lastly STOP sleeping with your DAMN Blackberry underneath the pillow Miss! I know you're known to sometimes talk in your sleep, but DAMN girl! WTMFF! Unless you're a private doctor on call (and I never knew), OR you're waiting for your pimp to call, to simply say you've gone over your hrs, I'm NOT feeling that! I have an alarm cock...oops clock, that works PERFECTLY fine! NO excuse to be loose. I know this has NOTHING to do with b'day etiquette but I felt a NEED to mention the $#it...WHAT!?! G'morning!

"And The Envelope Please..." -the Minority Players Who Became Major In '08! Pt.3

Hey, glad you decided to join us again! And btw, thank you for the enormous response to the "Award Show." Not EVERYBODY can win, but EVERYONE is a winner! Cheesy yes, but that's just how I see thangs. If you haven't been keeping up, simply search "awards" to see the other 18 winners so far. Now without further to do...ummm I mean ado, here are the "M-ies".

"Favorite Person To Find Out What's Going On In Town Besides This Blog" -Sir Charles Anthony/ HustleMode

Besides being the ONLY person I've EVER known to buy out an OPEN bar (you figure that one out for yourself), Cat daddy here is another man about town, much like myself, that knows about parties before they're even put together! Chuck Ant IS "Mr.RSVP" in the flesh! If you don't hear about it from him (or me), then that party ain't poppin'! PERIOD dot. I over heard that the only one time his name WASN'T on the list, he didn't cause a fit. No, not this guy. He simply went across the street, bought a hand held radio, and had EVERYONE that couldn't get in partying with him outside! Yes...All three of them!

"Favorite Person(s) To Make You Rethink Your Ward
robe" - Chandon, Adam "West", Guerre ( of Swagger360)

I spend ALOT of money trying to with these guys! Every other day, at least one of these guys had me running to Goodwill and Beacon's Closet looking to donate the $#!t in my closet I THOUGHT was fly! Lol! I am a firm believer that Ne-Yo stole that whole "Year of the Gentlemen" concept after one of these three probably bagged a groupie of his. He was like "Damn...I gotta switch my $#it up man!" Cause I damn sure know that's how I felt, after they bagged one of mine. LMAO!

"Favorite Non-Drug Related Obsession" -Sour Patch (Extreme)

I'm not quite sure exactly WHO put me on to this but, two days can't go by without me tapping my arm from that next "fix" man! And oh, don't let the corner store be fresh out of them. I'm straight PISSED for at least a good hour or more. The way I fiend for 'em, you'd SWARE some other illegal substance was hidden in the ingredients. I'm one step closer to just hitting the Bodega dude off with some cash, to order me a whole box! I'll be good for like a month...nah more like a week!

"Favorite Comeback Kid"
-G. Harris

Even with extensive surgery on the horizon, and a boot/cast that made him look like the COOLEST pirate from the docks of Brooklyn, NOTHING slowed this guy down. After a short break from the busy Summer social scene, Mr. Harris came back faster, stronger, and better! A real Black Bionic Man!

"Favorite Non-Celebrity With A Celebrity Name" -Tiara Chameleon

When this aspiring model/fashion stylist first introduced herself to me, and announced her name, I was like "For real? You're serious?" And sure enough that's her given name folks. So you KNOW the pressure was on, even since she was a youth back in (the unheard of town) Shaker Heights, Ohio (?) to become a star. You'd never think from all she'd been involved with so far, that she's a "BK Newbie." Just months in town! Sheesh, and I thought "Alanzo Dale" was a pretty cool sounding name, but "T.C." got me beat on that one.

"Favorite Brother From Another Mother" -Defferi /Pretty Black/Black Cocaine/ Seymour Gutman

After causal meeting his acquittance at a video set for a Sa-Ra & Erykah Badu some time ago, I knew some how down the line, I'd be working in some form or fashion with this cat. Then after getting a better knowledge of his fashion sense, his spontaneous humor, plus his deep affection for music, plus a skin complexion really close to mine. He had me scratching my head like, maybe I need to finally confront my parents and ask "Do I had any brothers you gave up for adoption that I don't know about? It's okay to tell me, I'm an adult now."


"Favorite Group To Reminisce the '80's With" -the RetroKidz

At when I attended an event that these guys showed up at, I was like "Is this some '80's theme party? I didn't get the dress code memo." Cause when it comes to reppin' that decade, this dudes go in! And don't think it's just stops at the "gear" ('80's talk for clothes). Let the DJ thrown on some hot Kane, or Rakim record, you'll see 'em REALLY take it back! Now I LIVED through the '80's, and usually a fight often broke after a heated dance battle/circle. Lucky for them, the '80's crime rate didn't come back in fashion too. Or it would be alot of chain-less, naked necks in this picture. Lol! 

"Favorite Cuties At Two Separate Events That Sorta Look Like Each Other" -Erica (?)

/ Nirvana Savoury

Now the first one of the left, I had gotten the pleasure of meeting during a Super Bowl party (Go Giants!) Kevin Powell held at the 5 spot in Brooklyn. I'm not sure if "Erica" IS really her name (I'm terrible with names btw) to be honest with you. I just remember her being edible-ly cute and her mention that she modeled, acted, or something along those lines. If you know her tell her the Minority Report gives her "the head nod", and says "What up!" Now the 2nd young lady (dope singer, peep her myspace page) who's not only ON her BlackBerry in the picture, she even carries a "Crackberry" 

PILLOW around in case the party she's at, bores her to sleep! Don't front, you know you sleep with yours under your pillow too. Anyway, someone needs to run a DNA test on these two. The resemblance is uncanny.

"Favorite Road Dawg / Rumored Suitor / Muse" -Ashley Mui

Faced with the trouble of finding someone to accompany me to the advance showing of Takashi Murakami exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum earlier this year, Ms. Mui was the first person that came to mind, that I thought would appreciate AND enjoy it. And from that point on, we've hung out damn near everyday since! So in the beginning of this blog's postings, you can see why she became a regular cast member on here. Sharing a common interest in shopping, music, fashion, the arts, and being silly, the Stylistics Agency soon formed from this bond...as well as dating rumors. Lol! "Rock the Block BK", "Boutiquer Frequer", "Sew Far, Soul Good" and "Brunch @ Harriet's" are the ONLY things we've "hooked up" on OKAY! So fellas if you're trying to holla, stop beating around the bush and stop asking "So ummm... Are you and Al a couple?" Yes we are...a couple of kids with sense trying to them dollars!  My Asian sister from another Mister.

So now that we gotten those awards out of the way, I'll keep you posted if I'm giving out a few more. Cool?

"Flashing Lights"-Paparazzi Pics (Pt.115)

Boy oh boy, Blackberry finally got it right this time! I don't own one but, I sure do like their parties man! Isn't it weird that other events you go to, folks are standing around not dancing and texting (on their Blkberry's) friends who aren't there. And here you have a Blackberry party, and folks are too busy dancing to have them in hand? Go figure huh! The music was good, the drinks were FREE but bad, and the line/guest list was non-existent. Well, I DID get to the Highbar "hella early" (Cali talk for "ahead of schedule") though. Also how you gonna throw a Blkberry party in a spot that gets NO reception? What that Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy and his crew wasn't on the list? Bad biz bro. Good thing my folks had known about it before hand, cause calling for "Wingman" back-up was like a "Hillary for Prez. campaign" meaning a dead issue. Lol! I came thisclose to french kissing that Audrey O'Danity Kane chick, till the busboy woke me up, and said I had drunk too much, party done. Dizaam! Crackberry" indeed.

"Warm It Up (Mc)Cain!" -Obama Debate Lines Leaked!

Yesterday I received a mysterious e-mail for an anonymous person claiming that not only has Obama become close pals w/ "Jay Hova", he's also having him ghost write his opening lines for the now canceled debate tomorrow! Word?!? I wrote back with the quickness to follow up on this seemingly tall tell, and got my new source to leak the intercepted Blackberry message of what "Jigga My Nigga" wrote for O-Diddy. Here's just a snippet:

"Come, get some, you Republican bum
I take the cake but you can't get a crumb.
From the political, superior, ultimate, plus I'm articulate, - while you on that dumb shit!
I'm the original, Asiatic, acrobatic
There you have it, now get dramatic
Creatin hype in Denver at the DNC.
Speeches pack'em in mean, like Bruce Springsteen
I provide a style that's mild and meanwhile
puttin' you & Bush asses out to exile
Make you tumble and stumble, in a rumble just CRUMBLE, and I'm still calm and humble.
And on the mic I ravage, not like a savage
but in my own way of doin' damage
As I design the genuine line
Now who'll be sworn in the zero-nine?"

"You CAN'T warm it up McCain!"

I think they working on puttin' music to this, and placing it as a hidden track on Jay-Z's "Blue-Print 3" album. What's next a picture of the soon-to-be Prez on Air-Force One IN some Air Force Ones?

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt. 80)

Well, it's not too much to even talk about this one here. Other then the fact that we (meaning Adam West, DJ Brina Payne, the ladies of We Love Ya Like Cooked Food, plus myself) managed to get past the city block long line to get in with ease. And the food handed out was better (much better) than expected. This one wasn't as I hoped it to be. Adam pointed out that there was no "coolness" in the room, and maybe that was just it. Maybe if Stoli Blakberi and the Blackberry Luxe folks teamed up, then...just maybe then will we get to attend a "berry" dope "Black" party! *FYI Adam DOES take pics with white girls, so take that Sallomazing! LMAO!
