party pics: (fashion’s night out recap) NIKE 21 MERCER – BATHING APE – OPENING CEREMONY – BMI AFTER PARTY…KID CUDI, KERI HILSON, MILLION DOLLAR MANO, HOLLYWOOD HOLT and MORE! (september 10th, 2009)
thursday night was a SUCCESS! i arrived at 9, after a fun fitting with KARL JUSTIN. we ate RAW CUISINE and caught up on some good jokes. the scene was as expected, fun and laid back…good food and drinks! i, of course, had nothing…as i was meeting and greeting all night.
it was good to see familiar faces and meet more! i held it down with your requests…except for new RAEKWON and JAY-Z, because i didn’t have it (but DIANA ROSS, SLUM VILLAGE and more of your requests were pumping!!!).
*RAW FOOD from QUINTESSENCE in NEW YORK CITY. it’s amazing. i know, raw food sounds not so appetizing…but, i promise it’s very good. KARL and i chowed down…
*GREY ANT sent me some blazing pieces! i wish i could keep them all!!!
*MILLION DOLLAR MANO & HOLLYWOOD HOLT came out as soon as they landed! they are such great homies!!!
i rocked a skirt from NOMIA, tank from H&M (fancy, right?), gladiator sandals and custom hoody (with embroidery and carbon fiber additions) from NIKE, bag by BALENCIAGA (or as RAUL says “AGA”)
*J BURKE. you can find him at the NIKE 255 store, where i got this custom piece made in 30 minutes!!!
*ERIK LOPEZ, RUTH, T.O., & KARL JUSTIN (stylist)
*custom making in the making…um, yeah.
*KAREEM!!! super producer…film, not music 
*these guys might be my favoritest couple EVER! and they had a little one! awww
*MANO! where’s DREA?!
*i’m in love with these gladiators…they’re perfect!
*WIL WHITNEY!
*OSCAR – OSCLOPS! (follow him on twitter)
*did i mention the CARBON FIBER detailing? just in case i want to be faster while walking, i can be with this.
*interview…
*the homies! peep ANGELO BAQUE’S blog
++++++++++
the streets was like (what i imagine) spring break is like…mad heads walking around from party to party, intoxicated and overdressed or underdressed for the evening. it was very cool actually. every store was open and it was like adult trick or treating…looking at clothing you can’t afford and mingling with friends, while receiving little treats at every establishment.
i walked by BATHING APE earlier and peeped this insane line for KID CUDI! it was only 3pm and he already had a line. kudos! CUDI used to work at the store and was the guest of honor with his very own character on a tee-shirt!!! i think thats so great.
“DAY…
…& NITE” (hahaha)
*SABEL JACKSON
++++++++++
on our way to OPENING CEREMONY for the’re highly anticipated BLOCK PARTY. i think the cops broke it down, but it didn’t stop the party inside. thank goodness that my homies were apart of the event and let us in…otherwise, it would have been NO BUENO.
*DEE and RICKY
++++++++++
by the end of this party i was exhausted…but, we stopped at the PRADA store that had THE RAPTURE performing LIVE!!!
*it was so packed, i couldn’t take it…so OSCAR and I had fun with the mannequins.
++++++++++
ok, at about 10pm something i was exhausted…but, i had to do a wardrobe change into a super cute GREY ANT frock and attend the BMI afterparty. KARL and i decided it would be totally ME to wear my biker boots and motorcycle jacket. i own some great heels, but i have the grace of a caveman when i walk in them 
*this photo didn’t even capture how amazing this dress is…
*the BMI party was at M2, MANSION…for some reason, there’s always super ridiculous things happening at that venue.
*ELLE and BEN fiercely typing.
*unlike wearing white, pinstripe bikini’s after LABOR DAY is acceptable.
*i’m just more comfortable like this.
*the legendary BRYAN MICHAEL COX…he told me he reads my blog and i got giggley. WOW. he’s an ill song writer and producer!
*KERI HILSON. shoutout to JOHNNY NUNEZ for introducing us. she’s super sleek and tall, like a runway model. while we were talking about videos, i blanked out and said, “i’m sorry i just feel like a midget right now and can’t think”.

MIKEY ROCKS BIRTHDAY PARTY: 16 hours in Chicago
FRIDAY morning, ELLE, OSCAR and I flew to CHICAGO (me and ELLE’s first time) to help celebrate MIKEY ROCK’s 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY! the flight was a bit delayed, but i was in good company with my friends…we had tons of jokes.
*at the airport…this was the second time i spotted this thing called MAGIC WIGGLY, a toy that magically crawls over you. it’s very bizarre, but i wanted it bad…
*it looks cool, no?
*i realized it wasn’t so magical and that you had to tie “invisible string” to it, which made me lose interest really quick.
*OSCAR tried to make it better by pretending MR. WIGGLEY worked…
*first views of CHI TOWN
upon arrival i noticed it was brick city, and no no – it ain’t just windy. i saw my soul leave my body. above all, the city is gorgeous…really great architecture and cool places. i was so mad i would only be there for half a day!
after our arduous travel, we made our way to the telly where CHUCK INGLISH was waiting to greet us. after he left us to get refreshed, we met up with LUPE and he gave us a mini-tour of the city. it was really educational, CHICAGO ain’t no joke. there’s so much history there, even entertainment histroy (the show “GOOD TIMES” took place in Chicago!)
*we wanted to try DEEP DISH pizza, since CHI was famous for it. we had no idea what were in for. LUPE took us to a classic spot…
*spinach deep dish pizza. massive!
*it was like lasagna on pizza.
*italian beef!
———- T H E P A R T Y ———-
afterwards we ran to the hotel, spruced up and went to the party which took place at LE PASSAGE on N. RUSH. it was a very swanky spot!
*POP CHAMPAGNE!
*CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES at a club just makes you want to act a fool. it makes you feel like you’re in a music video for whatever reason. like you want to dance with it in your hand and pour it on people for no reason.
*CHUCK INGLISH was a monster on the decks!
*we didn’t actually get to see too much of dear MIKEY, as he celebrated his 21st birthday! birthdays are the one day where you are allowed to run a-muck and owe no apologies!
*me in my ANDY DUFRANE shirt. OSCAR and I had no idea we were wearing such similar shirts. ELLE said it looked like me and O were sharing one big shirt.
*CHICAGO getting down. the older lady bathroom attendant asked where i was from and i said “NEW YORK” and she gave me a hug. she was so sweet. such great hospitality.
*HOLLYWOOD HOLT.
*GRANT HILLS! CHUCK took it back.
*i had to post this because it looks like ELLE and OSCAR are about to rob us!
*MILLION DOLLAR MANO.
*i was the designated MOM of the trip, i was in charge of waking us up. too bad i forgot about the time change. we were up at 7am for a 12pm flight! ugh.
*ELLE got hyper from being up so early and started messing around with my scarf. she said this is titled “GIRL WITH THE FENDI HAIR”
*our private jet…for the general public.
*it was such a short trip and i’m sad i couldn’t really see CHICAGO. it was really a dope city from what i can tell. i had a fun time with my fam ELLE and OSCAR, the jokes kept the traveling a breeze.
shoutout to CHUCK and MIKEY for having us and being the best hosts. thanks to LUPE (for the tour, dinner and cham-pagen), SHANNON SANGSTER (for taking care of us at the party), and thanks to the CHICAGO-ANS. they were all super cool. even the airport employees were friendly and nice.
