Little Ms. Busy "B"

Yeah...guilty as charged I've been sooooo busy it doesn't make any sense! I knew once I picked up doing journalism again that my blog would be like a step child to me *sigh* I didn't mean for it to happen that way, but I've been bringing the sun up for the last 4 weeks now covering various events in ATL (which I'll get to momentarily)  and I'm beat...anytime I do have time to myself...I sleep...and not regular sleep...like coma sleep...like blazing and having crazy sex then passing out sleep...like downing 3 Long islands and...well you get the idea...



RECAP:
I test drove the 2011 Porsche Cayenne at the Porsche Dance at Dusk event, exchange info w/ two super producers there...not really into dropping names like that...just know they're significant :)


I went salsa dancing at Havanna Club, had a blast and the next day I wanted a whole new pair of feet because I thought I was on Dancing with the Stars.

Went the Res concert who is an incredible singer from some time ago and she finally dropped her second album Black.Girls.Rock. (check her out here), did the interview after the show, mind you this was after leaving the Porsche event, my hair was too through!




Interviewed Zo! from the Justice League, which was really cool, went to the listening party, but was late so me and my cuzo Jon-Jon walked around Little 5 points for a bit, met the owner of a tattoo shop who wouldn't mind working w/ us on a tattoo party...more about that later..and of course you're invited :)

From there went to a get together at the Eyedrum in the art district and saw some incredible pieces of work.



... and then to Luckie Lounge for another friend of friend's B-day celebration...by the end of the night I lost that friend because he's insecure...long story thing is we were'nt even dating, but then gained a new one :)

 
Yeah so the guy is mixing a shot called Liquid Nitrogen....yeah...so of course I had to get one...


                              
 It was sweet and very potent...I was hesitant at first...cause' I mean c'mon...there's smoke coming from it!

                                                                                         

Needless to say I had a good time :)....






Had a photoshoot with a couple of associates for http://www.stylesbyteri.com/ for their hair and makeup portfolios...which was fun! I was told to be a sexy, edgy , lesbian...yeah not sure if I pulled that one off but this is what I came up with lol



Caught a cold from my niece...kids and their freakin elementary school germs....ewwww!

I interviewed Derek J ('Hair Battle Spectacular, Good Hair, Real Housewives of ATL...you know the short guy in heels)...he'a a total sweetheart..which reminds me I need to make my hair appointment with him, since he did tell me to bring my butt on down there...and I shall do what I'm told.

Broke the handle on my Louis Vuitton...ughhh

Went to Compound on Friday night, VIP style and was like 3 couches down from Wale...yes Wale, and I'm such a goof ball that I gave 4 of my friends access that I forgot to give myself, so while my guests were meeting him I was stuck with the sercurity guard whose pleasure was my pain...we made ammends by the end of the night though. Can't find the pics for this, the one night I forgot my camera ...which really blows cause' no one could tell me and my girl nothing (in my Kanye voice)

Let's see what else...oh yeah this past weekend was the Atlanta Classics, FAMU and TSU game, so I had friends come up from Tallahassee, as well as an ex *sigh* I do love my Trey, he was like my 2nd love lol
Hit the game up on Saturday, where FAMU lost for the first time in seven years, so that was a bummer...and then got a ticket..jerks...

From the box :)

In all this I managed to make an appointnment with SESAC on Oct. 8th for them to finally hear my work, and I feel pretty good about it, I will be in the studio this week working on that with producer Skot Free (Stankonia),I forsee that being a very fruitful friendship.

I still have interviews to extract and videos to edit....LAWD!

And my editor just texted me asking my availability for this week since the BET Hip Hop Awards are going to be in town...does anyone have a couple of 5 hour energy's? I think I'm going to need some...oh and a hug...

Thank you God for keeping me busy...

The Highlights, The Lowlights, and the ISH we won't remember from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards

The Highlights




Lady Gaga took home 8 of her 13 nominations, including Video of the Year, proving that her hype isn’t just some fly by night stroke of luck…although her attire would say otherwise (hence the “meat” get up), but you know how the world is…the weirder the better, but the thing about Gaga is that she’s an actual talent, which she proved by singing/shameless plugging her upcoming album “Born this way”…and I honestly think that there is some truth to her logic.

Taylor Swift-Everyone was so hung up on last year’s fiasco between Kanye and Taylor Swift, when in actuality, I think it was publicity stunt…but hey that’s just me, I am a self proclaim conspiracy theorist on special occasions, but Taylor gave a great performance singing “Innocent” , sounding as though she was sympathizes with Mr. West…"Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did," she sang softly, adding: "You're still an innocent." Awwwww



Kanye West Performance- I don’t care how many times Kanye gets diarrhea of the mouth, I still manage to fall in love with him all over again with his lyrical linguistics. MTV was right to save the best for last otherwise I would’ve turned back to the Redskins game long time ago. West’s red suit set off the stage as he sang his new song “Runaway” that goes a something like….
“Let’s have a toast for the douche bags,
let’s have a toast for the assholes,
let’s have a toast for the scumbags,
every one of them that I know
let’s have a toast to the jerk offs….

*sigh of relief* I’m so glad our Kanye is coming back to us :) Message to Kanye: Don’t be so hard on yourself kiddo, without you being a realist and saying the ish that we think all the time…what voice would we really have?



Cher- presented the Video of the Year in the same outfit she wore in her music video “If I could turn back the hands of time’’ in 1989, you know the one that got banned from MTV with the battleship and all, yeah that one, and we all know what she meant by wearing that outfit… “ You bitches aren’t the first to do this ish ok?”; but either way Cher looked fantastic! What is she like 72!? She must have the fountain of youth in her back yard. :)

Linkin Park Performance- at the Griffith Observatory …damn it I love these guys! And this had to have been like the best ambiance for a show….outside while the sun was just setting, up on one of the highest hills in L.A., it was f-ing beautiful! The band performed their new song “The Catalyst” from their forth coming album entitled ‘A Thousand Suns”.

My interview w/ Big Boi during the Heineken Inspire Tour...Music.Recognition.Respect. And oh yeah free beer!

September 4, 2010 was a great day for me...why you ask? Well because Jermaine Dupri and DJ Trauma showed what real dj-ing really is (to all you dj's with the turntable front and just use an Mac book Pro), I got to see Goodie Mob, Bun B, and Big Boi perform, and speaking of Sir Lucious Left Foot, I got an interview with the Southern Royalty as we chatted about how the radio sucks, his current tour, and the work he's already putting in on his follow up album Daddy Fat Sax: Soul Funk Crusader.  Read More...

Moet Rose' Lounge Presents Ne-Yo's "Champagne Life Celebration" for his new album Libra Scale


I went to the Ne-Yo's listening party for his forth studio album entitled Libra Scale the other night (Sept. 1, 2010) at MF Sushi in Buckhead....besides it being one of the most unorganized events I've ever covered, and him being escorted out as my photographer Jay Wiggs and I were about to walk into the media room for our 1 on 1...you know what, I won't lie, there really wasn't an upside lol...that's just the screw side of the biz...
But dont get wrong, I'm a huge fan of Ne-Yo's work, I mean "Champagne Life" is getting all kinds of spins on the radio and I can guarantee that I'll be two stepping whenever it comes on, like most of his tracks. But not only does this album have some bangers on it, but it also visually follows a story plot in six extended music videos...Read more...
