"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.154)

Man oh man, June has a hell of alot of B'days boy! I think I've attended at LEAST 5... just in one week alone! Well here are two more I quickly (like an hour tops) breezed through to this week past. The first one was my long time homie D-Nice's annual (must attend!) birthday party, which always bring out the best looking and mature crowd. I only spotted Grant Hill w/wife Tamia, and Datwon Thomas of XXL mag fame in the mix while I was there. I'm pretty sure more stars attended, but ya boy was BEAT from meeting all day so I bounced like a bunny EARLY! Then the very next day I attended a surprise B'day joint for "gate keeper extraordinaire" (of the hottest clubs in NYC) Mr. Chad, who was more than shocked by not only the party attendees, but also seeing his face plastered on make-shift masks and balloons all over the venue! Dope job you guys. I woulds stayed longer but I had a Zzzz train to catch to Sleepy Avenue.

DAYUM!!! I had quite a busy day this day. First I had to run downtown to the Union Square area to view a space I've taken interest into, to start a Sunday morning Brunch soiree' in the near future you'll definitely be hearing more about. Took Chef over to check the new stuff in stock at Rugby and say "What up!" to Tiara C. Then we shot up to Barney's to catch the debut of Andre' 3000's newest clothing venture (Benjamin Bixby) I posted about awhile back. It was alot of notables around the room, but I came to see the effort put into the brand. And honestly speaking it was like we never left the Rugby store (lol). I introduced myself once paparazzi was none snapping it up (pics of me not him), and told him I appreciated the direction he took. It was a natural evolution in the branding of 3000. Adam West introduced me to two witty Brits (Nasrin & Nadia) whom I kidnapped, to go with us over to the Fila/Hennessy in-store event. Good friend Datwon Thomas (of XXL) was the honored host, so I had to stop thru to pay respect. It was an hour left to the event, so we all drifted over to the open bar (!) that luckily was STILL OPEN. Then off again to some Fader event that we missed...oh well. See you the next night!

I call myself trying kill two birds with one stone last Thursday, when I attempted to attend the Hennessey party at the Rivington hotel hosted by my man Datwon Thomas (of KING /XXL Magazine fame) but was rudely awaken, when doors were shut at 9pm (over capacity my ass)! So around the corner (mad early) we go, to wait for Rasu's (Coup D'Etat BK) B'day jump-off At Libations to ummm...jump-off. So Ashley "Ashy", Chandon, Kimberly "Hut One, Hut Two" Hutton, and myself (looking like lost Prom goers) wound up ordering food, till the place filled up, And boy did it! Seems like EVERYONE from "Pan" (Trace Mag) to Fly Lady Di, to Game Rebellion showed up to show love for ya boy Rasu. "L.A." (Lyshaan Hall) came late (as expected), but yet so on time. Cause I was done, and ready to bounce. I combed over the pics but still ...no you.
