Recap | FAM Spring 08 Premiere

So on Saturday, I took my first trip ever to Morgan State to attend the FAM Oasis Spring 08 Premiere Fashion Show (there's like a million names for this show but you get the point) and only got lost once (shout out to my navigation system for the hood tour). Me and my boys got there right before the show started and sat front row...RS Entertainment...good lookin' out yo.( NY'ers always look out for each other)

The fashion show was on point. I cant even front...cause when I first heard there was a fashion show at Morgan, I was a little skeptical (no offense, just being real). All in all, I was feeling the runway layout that allowed more front row seats, but I think had it been elevated people could have seen things better.While I can’t say I was impressed with the men’s clothes, I do know what NOT to wear the next time I go out, so thanks. The women’s clothes were worth checking out, or maybe it was just the women,(wink wink at shorty I was diggin'...call me). Regardless, there were some hot pieces in these collections.

My favorite shirt

More importantly my favorite model (call me)

What I wont be wearing to the club next week


The show ended with Michael Knights fall collection which is “heavily influenced by shapes” according to Knight. His stuff just looked better than all the rest (check out the 2 pics below)

Charlie Murphy @ Rams Head Live!

Doors open at 9pm and the party doesnt stop until 1 am. There is no cover, great music, food, and drink specials all night...

If you missed the last event, I heard it was definitely a good look, so this time around, you shouldn't be disappointed!!!

So if you're like me, and you don't always want the riff raff and hassle of a huge production, Milton's is the spot for you....big shout-out to Kian & Floyd :)

Recap | Posh Thursdays @ Pur

Young professionals in Baltimore are always in search of young, professional, upscale events to attend, as they seem to be a rarity in the area. I've been receiving a TON of promotional fliers for "Posh Thursdays" at PUR nightclub (2232 Boston St.), so I decided to scoot on over there to see if it's all it's proclaimed to be. Events4GoodPeople said it started at 6 pm for happy hour and went until the club closed, but the club didn't get bumpin' until after 11 pm. There were plenty of attractive women in the place, but the man-to-woman ratio left a little to be desired (FELLAS, where are you?!). After 11 pm, the club became more crowded with a seemingly professional crowd and good music to get the party going. There are 3 levels so there's plenty of space to mix and mingle with other partygoers. Shout out to one of the owners, Marty. Also, local celeb Timothy Dean (Timothy Dean's Bistro) was in the building, who seems to be a regular at PUR.

All in all, I say try "Posh Thursdays" at PUR, I think you'll have a Fab! time.

Recap | Vegas nights @ Gordon's Lounge

So ya girl took a gamble (get it...Vegas nights...idk... I laughed lol) and decided to head out to Gordon's Lounge on Saturday night. Again, shout-out out to the birthday girl, April, and my favorite bartender, Chanel.(if you ever go to Gordon's be sure to ask for her)

I will recap using some pics and key points:

-They claim there are 8 plasmas...but...6 of them are 13 inch. Pls check the pic below. In other words, if you're watching the game, the players look like stick figures

-The DJ on the first floor is a CD player...check the pic. And what's sad is that it was better than the DJ on the 2nd floor. Can I get a copy? I was feelin' track 10...

- They had ceiling fans...what a great idea!!! I think most clubs should go with this option. This means that no matter how crowded it got, I barely broke a sweat!

- The Red room is fly...couches are extremely comfy (Value City? lol..sike) Its a definite chill room when you need a break from the dancefloor.

-And the dudes actually came dressed halfway decent. (thats saying alot for Bmore lol)

-DJ Tony T isn't my favorite DJ. I asked him for "Bust it Baby". He asked me "by who?" How is the DJ asking me? Isn' t that your job to know these things...then he told me he doesnt take requests. (prolly cause he was afraid I would name another mainstream song he didnt know)

All in all, Gordon's is a great venue...definitely one of the nicer spots in Bmore. Even though I almost killed myself on the wobbly banister going down the stairs, I would definitely return. Hopefully a bartender won't get fired on the spot next time (I wish I woulda gotten some of those free drinks she was giving away). And even though it wasn't packed, I'm not complaining cause I'm tired of going home smellin' like other people's sweat (thats not fab!)

So for this one, I'mma give a 3.75 outta 5. It's not quite a 4, but with the right DJ, repaired banister, and men my age, Gordon's definitely has the potential to be Bmore's secret treasure (lol)

(my favorite bartender, Chanel)

Kanye West - Homecoming

Kanyeezy is fab! worthy and lemme tell you why...cause he's fly and doesn't give a **** (and I luv it!!!) So this is for all those like me who don't have time to watch MTV Jams & VH1 Soul anymore...presenting....Kanye West - Homecoming. (Enjoy!)

p.s.- I'm hearing rumors that Kanye & Alexis broke up....say it aint so?!?!
