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.
Q TIP and THE COOL KIDS show and afterparty!!!
this show is a must. THE COOL KIDS rocked it and Q TIP killed it. he is such a legend. please see it if it comes to a city near you!
*THE COOL KIDS put on an entertaining show as always. the HIGHLINE was packed.
*NYC nightlife legend BILL SPECTOR was there. he’s running things at the new GREENHOUSE club.
*RICH MEDINA and DJ SOUL were there also…

afterparty at GREENHOUSE! a sort of eco-friendly club on Varick and Vandam.
*OSCAR.
*TIP and DIDDY “Take That, Take That” COMBS.
*BUSY BEE on the mic.

*TAZ ARNOLD.
*DIDDY, MOS, COLUMBUS SHORT and TIP.
*TIP and CHUCK cooling out.
*FERRIS BUELLER.
*MEL without his camera looked so weird. you know when you’re used to seeing someone a certain way, like someone you know behind a counter and then you finally see them outside the counter and you’re like “dude, you have legs?”. okay maybe it’s just me.
*the adorable duo CHUCK INGLISH and MIKEY ROCKS.
*EBONY WILDCAT looking amazing. i was actually going to wear that outfit, but changed my mind last minute.
*chilling.

DEE & RICKY turn 21!
eeek. i remember when they were yay high and 16 years old. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE DARLINGS! if you don’t know…they’re the adorable twins who revolutionized LEGO accessories and keep every party young and fun. they’re pieces were recently apart of MARC JACOBS runway show…
*OSCAR and me at their birthday celebration!
Q TIP release / ELECTION party 11/4…
a few weeks ago, Q TIP asked me to help with his release party (RENAISSANCE, go cop that) and Election Party. it played out perfectly…music by Q TIP and MARK RONSON and DJ SOUL, performance by KID CUDI, live streaming video from CNN.com, Macs donated by Apple with RSS feeds, catering, fresh popped popcorn and balloons (red, black and green). thanks to everyone who came out and supported! even PUFF came through to show some love. the night was LEGENDARY!!! Congrats to Kamaal on his achievements and contributions to the wonderful world of music!!! * Photos by MEL D. COLE villageslum.com *

NEW PRESIDENT, UNICORNS & OBAMA-BABY BOOM.
i’m a jaded american. i’ve been numb for years after witnessing horrors with the system in this country. of course, i LOVE this place and it’s people. no, we don’t suffer as badly as others around the world and at the end of the day we all live somewhat comfortably…BUT, we can do better.
having said that, i am so so so very excited about BARACK (and MICHELLE).
last night my hope was restored.
i sobbed watching his speech in a room with loved ones and strangers…we hugged and danced all night. it was historical and momentous. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. when we found out he won, you could have told me unicorns were flying through the East Village and i would have believed you!
we have a black president!!! a black family in the white house. we have a major political figure that looks like you or someone you know. he’s white and black, he represents america! and besides the color of his skin, he’s a beacon of hope and goodness…someone worthy of believing in.
PREDICTION: many a baby will be born in 9 months! last night was the equivalent of New Years. People were in the mood for celebrating and loving which sometimes leads to lovin’!
1992: 2 year anniversary with CIPHA SOUNDS, NEIL ARMSTRONG, DJ ELLE, KID CUDI…vogue show, bboy battle, giftbags, free fried chicken and photobooth!
wow, 2 years and running. i really didn’t expect this. thanks to everyone who supports, physically or spiritually

*the photobooth was the best. just an FYI when taking a photo in one of these. don’t do naughty things in them thinking no one will see. most of them are digital and the person who rented them gets a CD of all the images taken in the booth. just a word of advice 
1992 – PHOTOSHOOT “class is back in session” with Rafael Rios.
OSCAR and i decided to go all the way with our “CLASS IS BACK IN SESSION THEME” for our flyer and upcoming party. i referenced my catholic school girl years (Kindergarten – 12th grade) and went with a classic plaid ensemble. in my search for wardrobe, i googled “school girl uniform” and was met with cheesey sex shops selling mini skirts and cropped blouses – ewww (i mean, if that’s your thing i suggest going real deal with barely legal and not corny stripper). i had to be official, so i went to COOKIES in BK (school uniform central).
* while walking down the street to shoot this on a Tuesday mid-morning, i was confused for a pre-teen and a 14 year old almost tried to fight me. it was that classic “she thank she cute” look, while trying to bump me as she walked past with her homegirls. being jumped by a gang of youngins’ would not have been cute.
*OSCAR with GUCCI book strap.
*OSCAR and RAFAEL…
