celebration: KID CUDI ALBUM RELEASE PARTY at THE JANE HOTEL NYC!!! (september 15th, 2009)
knowing celebrities and famous people in the midst of their fame is one thing, but witnessing a real friend go from an “unknown” to a well known famous musician is another. last night, new york came out to celebrate a friend…KID CUDI. the vibe was extreme happiness and love for our dude…SCOTT MESCUDI!

life: SOBE SUMMER FRIDAYS – miniature golf, food by HABANA CAFE, and more!
for the past week i’ve been battling a stomach flu which has given me a loss of appetite, nausea, and fatigue. it’s been no bueno, can you guys relate? anyways, FRIDAY i was forced out of my cave by the gang for free food and miniature golf at the SOBE FRIDAY PARTY. i left early to go home and sleep.
*as a non-sports person, playing anything close to athletic with other athletic people is annoying. look at the coach behind me. good grief…it’s miniature golf!
*SADE and (“if it wasn’t for”) TONY.
*my new favorite bever-age.
*OSCAR and RAUL. his sis was there and i forgot to take a picture. it’s so cute, they look exactly the same.
*my stomach flu and loss of appetite has caused my stomach to shrink. after eating this little tostada thingy i was full. i felt like i had gastric bypass or something.

(flashback 9/15/07) exhibit: CLAYTON PATTERSON
CLAYTON PATTERSON recently had an exhibit. the man is a living legend, a visual journalist of downtown new york city for over 20 years now. i was first introduced to him when i’d see him frequent lower east side events, camera in hand with a very unique self-made hat. this man has CAPTURED the downtown scene from the late 70′s to present, and the progression will leave you angry about how new york has lost it’s edge…over-populated with condo buildings and yuppies.
my friends DAN, BEN and JENNER did a documentary on his work (to be released) and it’s amazing. CLAYTON filmed the thompkins park riots with a video camera, recordning cops battering people up close and personal when video cameras were new technology. he put it best when he was on OPRAH some time, holding up his video camera…”LITTLE BROTHER IS WATCHING BIG BROTHER”.
*drug baggies. found everywhere on the streets back in the day. catalogued by type, date and name.
*embroidered one-of-a-kind pieces by CLAYTON. i need a hat.
*freaks.
*drag queens.
*CLATYON gave a name and a face to everyone in the LES.
*yeah coppers, that homeless man is so threatening in those sweatpants…i think you both need to pull out your guns to show him you mean business with that sears suit.
*DAN the MAN in his CLAYTON hat.
*KK and ME. i miss the big lug!
*BEN and TABATHA.
*JENNER, DAN, BEN and OSCAR.
*KK and his portrait.

*DRAKE.

happy birthday: OSCAR!!!
my dear, sweet, lovely cousin OSCAR. words cannot explain how much i love this guy. we met in like 2001 and have been tighter than an Ed Hardy t shirt. he started dressing “90′s” way before anyone else was, years and years ago. when it wasn’t cool and people made little side jokes when they saw him. anyways, O is a style icon and a new york city legend!
the other day ELLE is scanning through my Polaroid collection and says “Oscar is your muse. It’s cute”. i realized…he is!
’nuff said. i love you OSCAR! and if you guys meet him you would love him to!!!

*2006. this Flash hat is amazing. when he walks on the street and little kiddies see him, they stare in complete awe like he’s a superhero.
*2004, freezing in soho.
*besties!
he’s also a phenomonal dancer. check this video of him dancing in MIAMI (where we did 1992 during WMC in 2007). he’s not even putting forth THAT much energy, you have to see him at full force.
i also put him in many of my videos, he’s just so mesmerizing to watch! here’s the ARMAND VAN HELDEN video i did for “I Want Your Soul”
one of my first videos: BEANS video for the song “PaperCut”
OSCAR! you inspire me!!!

tuesday night, after a long day of celebrations for our new PRESIDENT OBAMA…HOOD BY AIR released their CLASSICS line at the OAK SHOWROOM. the line featured everyday pieces with a slight touch of couture. it’s something a hood dude can pull off and still maintain his street credibilty with. the place was filled with characters and fashionable people doing their own thang.

FOUND FOTO: post birthday party in VEGAS at my sweet suite at THE WYNN
found this photo and it made me laugh. this photo was taken in APRIL 2008 after my birthday party at THE WYNN’s BLUSH LOUNGE. after the party, we ran to my amazing suite and i jumped out of my MARC JACOBS dress (thanks JOEY) and gotten into my manly sleepwear (which consists of BAPE boxers and a PEGLEG tshirt).
SAMANTHA and CHRIS JULIAN brought out the FRUITION CREW. we look nuts! we were all really out of it-clearly, and i started taking everyone’s polaroids. RAUL looks like a porn star (as usual), ELLE looks so funny and OSCAR isn’t in it because he was taking the photo.
+++++
PEEP THE SUITE! they gave us all our own rooms, and i got this insane room. it was so amazing, but kind of scary to be in at night all alone since it was so massive! as soon as i walked into the room i lost my mind just like the poor kid i am because “i ain’t never had nuttin nice”. me and ELLE had to give a tour…
