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.

later, on ESSEX STREET at LUMPINAR, it was the beginning of what may be the resurgence of real-deal-holyfield downtown NYC parties (alongside 1992 and OPEN 
. A-RON and ACE BOON KUNLE are heavy hitters in these parts, and their combining of forces will be murderous.
dirty punk kids, crispy streetwear peeps, hipster kate moss girls and lengendary new yorkers crowded in the club to listen to sounds of WU-TANG and BLAG FLAG! and well, opposites attract!
*it was brick on the skreets.
*RAUL above, OSCAR to the right. we were also celebrating mister OSCAR WILD’s birthday! the beginning of many chapters this week.
*DJ SEMEN SPERM and NICO!
*RAUL.

rad video: RAUL VOGUING with a BANJEE WIG ON at my SUITE in LAS VEGAS!
haha, yes this is rad. this is one of the many reasons why i love RAUL. he just doesn’t care what you think about him, i mean he keeps it real. also, we’re both pigeon-toed. enjoy, i’ll be directing a video FRIDAY so i’m prepping until then. have a nice weekend!
here, he jokingly puts on an awful wig and “vogues down” in my hotel room.
a date with RAUL: dinner (SCHILLERS) and a show (MAXWELL).
i’m sure some of you may know about my amazing friend RAUL. he’s one half of the duo HOOD BY AIR and also a very very good friend. he just celebrated his birthday and what he asked for as a gift was to see MAXWELL perform live in NYC. so, i took him on a romantical evening…dinner at SCHILLERS (ugh, one of my favorites) and a show to be remembered!
*romantic setting of SCHILLERS.
*i made RAUL a card and surprised him with the tickets…
*complimentary dessert from CAM and SCHILLERS, thanks
*outside the venue…
*thanks for the tickets MAX
*this place looked like a cathedral in europe.
*MAX came out and everyone went nuts. it was pretty crazy. he looked very dapper as you can see.
*he performed the class “This Womans Work” and i think my eardrums busted after every woman screamed like banshees. it was beautiful…
*the couple in front of us at the show were getting it in and i’m sure they’ll be expecting a baby in 9 monthes.
*congrats to MAX on all of his success and the great music he continues to make. he’s seriously the nicest and most sincere gent you’ll ever meet and that’s rare these days
