the night occurred splendidly.
i decided against getting super dressed up and went for a simple look, skirt and oversized button up (i was channeling JULIA ROBERTS as “VIVIAN” in “PRETTY WOMAN”.
here’s a recap told from many different cameras…me first!
*NATALIE/GREY ANT and KARL JUSTIN.
*ELLE and CEDRIC “Black Madonna and Child”
*WENDY from NITROLICIOUS
*JASMINE SOLANO in VIOLETTE!
*KARL JUSTIN – same-sies
*KNOX!
*THEOPHILUS performed brilliantly – no backup dancers or attention diversions, he’s amazing alone on stage!
*he brought me on stage and i tried not to fall in my 5 inch heels…eek
*JESSE BOYKINS III sang me a seductive HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
*WOODROW MORTON JR, LUKE FLYNN and ME
*JOSH MADDEN spinning my favorite songs
*only ANGELO and i will ever know what he whispered in my ear that made me laugh so hard that my solid gold tooth showed itself…
*my birthday cake!!! inspired by dice from VEGAS that a sweet boy once gave to me. i played cee-lo as a kid, my good friend VUKI taught me early. by the time i got to high school i was hustling suburban girls for lunch money
*this year i wasn’t afraid to cut it and i didn’t try to save it like a poor kid
*SABEL so thoughtful…
*HYUNNY BUNS
*my guest of honor, LA’KEA. seriously…it only mattered to me if she showed up. she drove all the way from ALBANY and back, just for my party. i love this girl more than you know. she had my back as a misfit youngster when everyone in our hood thought i was too weird and all the girls in my class wanted to fight me.
*me and MISTER LONDON.
*BRANDEE!
*me, JEN and ELLE.
++++++++++
at the end of the night i switched out of my BURBERRY PRORSUM BOOTS for some beat up KEDS. my dogs were barking!
*ashy feet.

I really like the story about you and La’Kea.
The her sticking up for you part. Not the you being teased part.
May 6, 2010
Aww how suh-weet! I’m so glad you could reunite with La’Kea! I know how that is to be the awkward girl that other girls wanted to fight/mess with, for no reason. Glad to know you guys are still in touch.
