Good Morning Babes and Boo’s!
So, I may or may not be on a WORLD TOUR for 2013 and I need the help of you locals. Since I am “Downtown’s Sweetheart” repping New York City, I can tell you a thing or two about the Rotten Apple. But – because I don’t live elsewhere, it’s hard for me to truly know what’s up in other cities. This is where you guys can help me out!
Below is a list of cities that I may or may not be coming to. If you live there or you know a thing or two about this city, holler at a playette so we can take pictures together and /or have a dance-off (your choice, but I’m letting you know now – I will lose the dance-off).
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW:
Your Picks That Would Perfectly Collaborate With Me For Each Perspective City.
They Don’t Have To Be Huge Names. They Could Just Be The Best, Most Creative Doing Their Thing In Your Zip Code!
Please Include: Any Links, Sites, Twitter, Facebook or Black People Meet Pages (Haha, Please Don’t)!

2. BEST VENUES/CLUB

Glasgow – best clubs are subclub and the Arches. They have many local and well-known dj’s playing in them regularly. Glasgow is great for vintage stores you can always find awesome pieces! Bring Elle and anyone up for a good night out, the nightlife in Glasgow is amazing and there are also an array or restaurants which you might enjoy! Catch a football game while you’re here and do all the Scottish-y things like try haggis (vegeterian version of course), day/night trip into edinburgh the capital where i can also provide tips on where to go!
December 18, 2012
I’m HEAVILY shocked my wonderfully dope city wasn’t nominated, so with that being said, Va$hteezy should definitely come visit…
N E W O R L E A N S:
1. Best DJ’s: New Orleans is really big on local Hip-Hop, Alternative bands, & of course, Jazz, BUT our most popular genre is our very own self made Bounce music. These DJ’s are extremely popular in the city…
-DJ Black N Mild (@DJBLACKNMILD)
-DJ Poppa (@DJPoppaFans)
-Captain Charles (www.djcaptaincharles.com)
-DJ Soul Sister (@djsoulsister)
2. Best Venues: In NOLA, you’ll find a club for every single genre & progression, some more known than others. Here are just a few of the popular ones…
-Republic
-Preservation Hall (Jazz history at it’s finest)
-The Hookah
-Fusions (renowned LGBT club)
-Blue Nile (the best damn Reggae club in the US of A!)
3. Best Stores: NOLA is a really, really distinguished city mostly because it’s just one big ass antique. Everything has been preserved for centuries, and it shows in the clothes & styles we have. Here are some stores I recommend to any visitor…
-Peaches Records (our local record store where we stock up on vinyls, & run into locals like Lil’ Wayne, Birdman & my personal fave legend, Juvenile)
-Meyer the Hatter (they’ve personified classic cool for decades now)
-Re:Fresh
-Madsoulz (our up & coming skateshop)
-ANYPLACE on Magazine St!
4. Camaraderie: I think my city & NYC are very, very similar because both metropolises share loads of history, loads of pride & we’re full of free-spirits. I think these friends of yours would LOVE my city…
-Elle Clay
-Young Scoozy
-Oscar
-Raul
Okay, so I think I just did an expected book report, but hey…It’s New Orleans, so I’ll easily sell my city to anyone, lol! Plus, we have the greatest food in the world (yes, Va$h, even VEGAN food) so definitely COME COME COME so I can show you guys around with my crew & we can the be coolest kids on the block

Best restaurants in Barcelona – Bo de B (cheap sandwiches), Mucci’s (has great pizza slices for cheap)
stores – Once you get off Placa Catalunya’s station and go towards the Cathedral (along the way you’ll see Mango and Zara’s) and turn left, you’re in second-hand clothing store heaven
Berlin has a great restaurant called Cassambalis – amazing food, champagne, not too expensive and a beautiful restaurant

December 18, 2012
Vashtie,
I know you already visited Miami before but yo, if you come the hot spots are obvious and EVERYWHERE! There is so much to get into that I cannot possibly list it here. There’s something for everyone, and with being a multicultural city, you will feel right at home. Besides, after New York and maybe Los Angeles, what better U.S. city is there besides Miami? If you bring a friend, I would have to say bring your partner in crime, Elle. I think Elle’s vibe fits the scene perfectly!
We can check out:
* South Beach and the many clubs that line the place.
* Coconut Grove (Which may be more your speed, because it’s kinda like a lush, shaded, tropical version of East Village with it’s artsy bohemian vibe)
* Beaches
We don’t have to be just limited to that, we can joyride and check out other nearby cities, places, and everything else!
So Vashtie, just do some further research on the things I mentioned and link me up via contact information below. My official website is also listed below so you can check me out beforehand.

December 19, 2012

December 19, 2012
Please come back to Cincinnati Ohio
December 19, 2012

you can get high as a kite and marry a woman!
COME AS YOU ARE.

December 19, 2012
you should add ITALY to your world tour
! especially Milan during fashion week or Florence, my hometown, during PITTI! we need your vibes!
December 19, 2012
Hi Vashtie,
My apologies for posting twice but this is important. If you do so happen to go on this 2013 tour and go with my offer on visiting Miami again, please feel free to contact me with the information I provided earlier and ask any detailed questions you may have about me. I know that you are aware of this already, but I cannot stress how important it is to get to know a little about a person before meeting, as it’s fairly risky. I know of you but you may not know of me, but I do see that we have a lot in common, as well as being slightly opposite enough to perfectly balance each other. I think we are on that same vibe! My website would be a great place to start to learn about me, but again, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We can also discuss planning ahead on the visit, and other things pertaining to it.
Once again, my contact info and website is provided below.
