*SABEL, moi and ELLE. my Pocahantas is turning slight WILLIE NELSON.

LOTUS has to be a sort of magnetic black hole, because somehow i always find myself there. it helps knowing the people who work there as well. anyways. friday night was spent “catching up” with SABEL. and when i say “catching up” i mean, watching “out-of-towners” dance wildly to “oh what a night”. i fit in perfectly with a shoelace on my head and a flannel. it was also my boy from art school’s birthday, JAMES BLAGDEN…he was there partying.

*having fun with the “clubbers”. haha.

*THE ABSTRACT came out and was just as mortified as us.

*starting to lose my “cool”.

*TAI danced on the platform all night and didn’t break a sweat.

*CARMEN and SABEL and some dude.

*haha. drunky pants tried to start a fight with the security.

last night was great. despite the migration to miami for wmc, we had a great turn out!

*i was in full “hood chick” character, brushing out my gucci mane.

*hers was better though.

*RAUL’s jacket was so banjee.

* MANO and his cousin HOLLYWOOD HOLT came through via CHI town. lucky for me i was in my BULLS kit.

*MANO and me.

*ROBE’RE, PLAIN PATTY CAKES and MIMI.

*some 1992 friends from PARIS. they were at the PAIN O CHOKOLAT/PARIS x 1992 last year!

*you will never find a more adorable DJ duo. SURE SHOT kept the crowd doing the pepperseed and RADIO ROSE had everyone doing their best impression of BRANDY’s “I WANNA BE DOWN” dance!

*E and E.

*ELLE and MR. PINK.

*i took my ponytail out this morning. it was fun for a day

thanks to everyone who made it out!!! stay tuned for the next 1992 in APRIL which is my super sweet BIRTHDAY BASH! it will be radical!

it’s so adorable to see people imitate 1992, isn’t it. i mean, 1992 is the original 90′s party and its been coined “THE ONLY 90′s PARTY THAT MATTERS” according to Johnny Osbourne (thanks RESTATION). nuff said.
*here’s a pic of me with my baby hair pumpin’ and black nails, circa 1993. i was ghetto goth even then. i really look exactly the same. like claudia from “interview with a vampire”. you should all post a pic from around that era! come on, i want to see!

*7th grade blues. my hair was pulled so tight in a ponytail it put a permanent smile on my face.

for always doing big things that eventually make it into the mainstream straight world. for many years the DIP or DROP has been a move in the gay/vogueing house scene and currently it made it’s way on to the big screen. in the straight world, the name has been changed to 5000′s or something gay like that. CHRIS BROWN does this legendary move in his new video with LIL MAMA, although LEYOMI MIZRAHI reigns supreme on this subject.

*LEYOMI in the pink.

*CHRIS BROWN attempting the DROP.

***and speaking of babies, i am officially a godmother! that’s right. to a beatiful god-daughter named AMAYA! pictures to come soon when i meet her next month in SAN FRANCISCO for her baptism!

i spent so many nights relaxing to some rad mixes by NEIL ARMSTRONG. seriously, the guy is mega talented. he DJ’d for us at 1992 a few months back and killed it. not only that, but he’s like the nicest guy ever. it was a no brainer thinking of who should DJ for the tour. anyways…i just want to say that i’m siked to put good people on like NEIL who totally deserve it. his manager SKY is also magnificent. so it worked out perfect!

+check out his article on FATBEATS.COM…where SKY and I get a shout!+

…DOLCE LATTE. that’s the drink i had in the club last night at the Q TIP party.

of course, it ended up getting spiked. if you’ve ever been to our parties then you’d know that TIP doesn’t like it when people aren’t drinking, so he carries around a bottle of Patron and sprinkles it in cups as he passes by like like tinkerbell (or TEQUILA-BELL).

so, when he saw me with latte in hand, he gave me a frown and told me to open the lid. that stuff really is some kind of magical potion. 10 minutes later…i’ve magically turned into an angry sailor waiting for a bar brawl. eeeek. my tolerance is still ridiculously low from 23 years of a straight-edge life. why can’t those liquids ever turn me into a wonderful fairy princess? i’d even take being a leprechaun.

*BONNIE, RAULA, PHOENIX, TAI.

*JAHA and STEVE STEVERSON.

*pre-spiking of drink.

*SABEL effortlessly lifted her leg up like that and placed it on my shoulder. i was so impressed i had to take a picture.

Q TIP saw this and wanted us to imitate it…

*NOTE:
1. how high my leg went.
2. the latte cup with NO LID.
3. the bottle of Patron in TIP’s hand.

*shout out to this guy who has the awful job of mediating and care-taking.

*KID CAPRI.

*somehow we started talking about signs, and it may have seemed RAUL and I were bashing ARIES…but never that. TIP being an ARIES man was not prepared for it all.

*they buried all the hate.

*i told TAI her hair looked amazing and she replied “it does, doesn’t it”! worrrrrk!

*LACOLE and RAUL ripping the runway…or something.

oscar and i are always excited about press, but i-D magazine was a dream come true. it’s been such an ill publication that we both grew up on. just reading about all these weird creative types from around the world used to get me so hyped…and now we’re in it. thanks to HATTIE

whatever happened to some flintstone chewables. now, i’m reaching for 20 pound bottles of all kinds of vitamins i didn’t know existed just to ensure my my spine won’t shrink and my kids have one head and not two. watch out now, i maybe be the next jack lalane, pulling cars by my teeth and flexing for no reason when i’m 80!

*personalization is key.

*it looks like it would feel like dice going down your throat, but it’s actually not bad at all.

NOTE: i advise everyone to get some vitamins (pronounced “vit-uh-mins”). we could grow old together reading each others blogs, awww. do not take the brand that rhymes with MENTRUM, only bc they have added fillers like sugar for no reason. healthfood store brands are good. some vitamins to think about are;

*a MULTI-VITAMIN (break in half and take one in the AM and one in the PM)
*CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM: 1000iud(magnesium helps tone down the constipation one would get from all that calcium. was that too much info? sorry.)
*DHA OMEGA 3: 600gms
*VITAMIN A: 5000iud
*VITAMIN D: 1000iud
