my blouse is from TopShop in London (bought and paid for there, not from online--so there)


so Thursday July 31st was a very, VERY long and hectic day. my day began at 5 a.m.: i spent the night at my Grandmother's house because my cousin Denise and I were going to attend the Wendy Williams Show. being that the show tapes live Mon-Thurs. at 10a.m. we needed to catch an early train etc etc. my friend Antwon from BK met us there and the three of us sat tight hoping we wouldn't be put in the "ugly" section. well honey (I'm mad my typing sounds the way Wendy would speak lol) we sure as hell were. I am going to take the blame and say it was my hair that put us there. humidity + my hair = disaster. i didn't know what to do with it and had to stop at the local Rite Aid to buy head bands. but enough about me--back to the show. it was episode #14 that featured Ray-J. i'll be the first to say that both Wendy and Ray-J look a whooole lot better in person. unfortunately i did not get much airtime unlike my friend Antwon who was on screen for about a whole minute because he was right behind Wendy during her "Ask Wendy" segment. even during the break i checked my SK and saw and IM from Jewels saying "I just saw Antwon." major WTF, LOL, J/K--hahaha.






after the show wrapped i headed home (oh no i stopped at Sanrio it Times Sq. and loaded up on some goodies) took a well needed nap, then woke up to head out to the Hot 97 DJ launch party. ok so let's rewind. the day before the Wendy Show, i headed out to Hot97 to pick up the tickets for the party at 8 a.m. i was so excited that i was going to have a full day and was excited to share the experience with my friends. so now let's fast forward to the night of the party. Jewels rolled to my house and my other friend Karen was going to meet us out there in NYC. J and I drove into the city and when we walked up to the venue there were not one, but TWO long lines. i'm not going to get into spcecifics, but let's just say when people in NY wait too long, they get mad. when they get mad--it's a wrap!! the whole situation was f*ck*d. the handling of the crowd was wrong, the bouncers were rude and Hot97 has lost my respect. they burned me once with the NaS show at Webster Hall back in 2006, and now they did it again.





nevertheless J and I (Karen :( left us) grabbed a bite then strolled over to club Spy and received some nice VIP treatment--literally. i was able to get a laugh out of seeing a little dog make it's way to the dance floor and smell the desperation in the air. but we made the best of it...

ps...thanx to Marc "with a C" @ Dave&Busters.... i treated you like sh*t and you luved me lol--tough love is my thing :) OH!! and that chicken was not free buddy!!

SummerStage in Central Park

so sunday i met up with Jewels, her sister Jessica, and friend Kamila for a hot and sweaty free concert with A-trak, Kid Cudi (yum), Diplo, and the lady of the house ms. Santi White-->Santogold. i have to say if it weren't for the heat wave, girls passing out, and people in wheelchairs moving me out of the way it was an overall good time. ahem well.... a group by a name i can't remember started out to "warm up" the already hot crowd. it was cool but i just wanted to get straight to the action. Blaqstarr spun for a bit then A-trak and my boy Cudi hit the stage and did a good job. he really shined on a song he did over M.I.A's "Paper Planes" and his online hit "Day and Night".







after KC, A-trak and Diplo took turns spinning for two hours straight. i'm not going to lie, that is a lot of time to just stand still and listen to music. i tried my best to stay in good spirits but the heat beaming on me made it hard. all in all, the guys did play some "oh shit" joints from Mobb Deep, Lil Wayne, and Dead Prez to name a few. Diplo also had a set of three girls who came out and had a sick choreography/voguing session.





then finally Santogold came out and performed.....like 5 songs. i can't front--i was souuuuped. but i wish she covered "I'm a Lady" yet she didn't disappoint with the bangers "Say A-ha" and "Creator". oh and her back up girls are oh so cute. if you gals need an understudy Jewels and i are available lol.





on a positive note i enjoyed some good music, hung out with some girls who had me laughing until it hurt, got a tan, a free Fool's Gold towel and tee, a free CD, vinyl album and restaurant certificate. but nothing, NOTHING comparesd to this...





...the whole time i was there i kept saying that i would love to get a chance to just approach him and say "hi". it was so nice of him to take a break from his convo and take a pic with me. this made it all worth it being that if you turned my iPod on at that moment he would be the artist you'd hear. *sigh*

now ask me would i do this again? the answer is "no". unless..... ;)

ps.
check out my flckr and YouTube for more pics and video soon!!

Complex x lrg xCouvoiseir

you know when you get invited somewhere and you don't want to go, but something is telling you that you should. so you just throw on something cute but casual, go to the event and end up having a really good time? well, that's how the lrg party was for me; thanks to Mariella for putting me on the list :) the event was held at Reed Space in NYC and it was a good crowd. although it was hot as hell (literally) they made up for it by giving out free Couvoiseir drinks, having Just Blaze spinning, and being very generous with the swag bags. i got to meet Alchemist (such a sweetie) and made some cool connections. tonight is the last night for the three day event so if you can try and check it out.

for more pics go to our flickr by clicking here and go to the "glamorous life" set --> we don't do "jumps" lol

ps sorry for the blurry pictures, i just got a new camera and i am still figuring it out :)
