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.
