I am so thankful I get to collaborate with artists like BIG K.R.I.T. He’s not only a major talent, he’s also a genuinely nice guy…which is something you rarely hair about performers. I mean, real-deal nice guy and Southern gentleman. So, it wasn’t a surprise when I found his listening party flooded with people who were anxious to hear the album and meet the man, otherwise known as “King Remembered In Time”.

Sidenote: Listening parties are always a little awkward, you’re meant to preview the person’s album – but normally, most folks just suck the open bar dry while networking. It would be better if it were more intimate…like if there was a giant bed and everyone invited to preview the album could climb on and the artist could be in the center, personally handing you your own headphones and playing each track…you know, like sharing an intimate artsy moment with a close friend or boo. Then again, what do I know?!

Anyways, check it out!

DJ M.O.S. seriously made my month when he dropped some Stone Temple Pilots.

It sent me inner white girl screaming…literally.

This dude rules and so does Miss DJ KISS.

I need the both of them at one of my functions…SOON!!!

Nice job STEVIE!

I love Maxine’s design AND she’s still in high school! It was really nice meeting her! I loved that some of the students were apart of this event.

Look at us rocking some LV x SPROUSE. We took a similar picture together at 2009 LV x SPROUSE Party where Debbie Harry performed!

JEFF STAPLE had some solid kicks. Very nice…

On Saturday, I popped over to the WINK WINK PONY POP-UP SHOP that REBA was having at BLAKE SCOTLAND in the Lower East Side. Of course, the entire family was there (except Sabel Boo because she had some work to handle). It was also Cinco De Mayo which is Elle Clay’s muy favorito holiday besides Easter.

THE END!

On Tuesday night, I ventured out with Karl Justin to THE SHOPS AT TARGET event. It was especially grand; red carpet, wild displays and a DJ set by our old friend Theophilus London. Shortly after making our way in, we ran into Miss Bevy Smith who looked as fashionable and fab as always. She introduced me to a remarkably dressed Greg Cunningham and after we chatted for a bit, they invited Karl and I to split that shindig for another Target event – B.O.B.’s Album Release party. What could we do but follow the leaders…

Later, at B.O.B.’s…

We didn’t stay long, but it was a great time regardless…
