Miley Cyrus forgivness and love merican music awards
I had a great time sitting in the parents section. Ke$has parents were behind me and Justin Biebers were in front of me. Also Katy Perry’s people next to them. It was a pretty good show but not Grammy good. Taylor Swift had snow foam from the ceiling and it was cold. Even Russel Brand thought so. I was surprised what a tight ship DC productions runs, much more uptight than any other music show. Nokia was a great venue, a little large but the backstage was efficient. The smoke from Katy Perry’s performance was crazy. My favorite was Christina preforming Burlesque. I’m sitting down at the end. 3:56
yes that is me dancing at :37
When they did the balloon drop over the crowd was my favortie part of the night. During a commercial Rihanna came over to give Katy Perry a wedding gift and they got to chatting then Katy tells Rihanna ” bitch I will pull the weave out of your head”, in the most loving way possible. When they were being reseated Rihanna walked away and Katy grabbed her booty, when Rihanna screamed the whole place went silent. After the show I talked to Akon about his absence on the KUSH video this week. Went to get my car and headed to santa monica to the studio.

I attended most of LA fashion weekend at Sunset Gower studios. Friday night I walked in a Halloween costume fashion show for 7til Midnight lingerie. I wore two, Heidi Ho and a Lady bug.
The Dj of the party afterward was one of the best I have herd in LA, I had a good time shaking m lady bug wings. Always bring proper under garments and be a leader not a follower. Never drink and Runway.
The next day was the kick off of LA Fashion weekend. It was a green fashion theme. I arrived at the tent bright and early. They had a complimentary bar because all fashionable people drink before noon. The bartender made Shaun and I a wonderful cucumber thingy, amazingly refreshing. The morning shows were great, my favorite in fact. Emily Factor was my favorite all day.
Shaun loved the Joy Rich Los Angeles, show…….they had great male models.
In lieu of my new relationship with Runway Magazine I attended a Fashion event at Blvd 3 in Hollywood. It was a rather private event. One collection showed 9 looks. The DJ at BLVD 3 was the best I’ve herd in all of LA except I didn’t catch his name. The after show was the best part. Immediately fallowing the fashion show 2 cirque de soliel girls were lowered from the ceiling on a steel cube. A very cool performance that made me want to take up acrobatics.
Another great thing about nic parties is the gift bag. This particular one was the best smelling gift bag I have ever gotten. Clear Essance Skin Care makes skin care products for women of color. As I have no color I decided to give the bag to my friend April who will hopefully let me know what she thinks about the products. Anti Wrinkle cream, bar facial soap, oil blotting sheets, and a skin scrubber.
So to kick off my summer properly, I went to Vegas for a weekend to promote the new nightclub and beach club at the Encore hotel. Mr. Steve Wynn invited a ton of girls to come promote the US Weekly Magazine Hott Bodies Party and of course the Surrender Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. US weekly magazine had a great gifting suite and massage cabana for all the promotion staff. They gave me a huge gift bag and I won a really nice bottle of Bobbi Brown beach lotion.
I seriously reccomend the Trump Hotel, its very nice and the rooms are great. Eating in Vegas is a challenge at best. Try to plan where youre going to eat before you go.
As soon as I got off the plane from Tokyo, I went straight to Magic in Vegas. Magic is like crack to me. It’s like they transformed all of Mandalay Bay into a dream closet. I was so high on clothes I didn’t eat or sleep Tuesday till Saturday! All of the booths were amazing but a few really stood out to me. Sworovski’s booth was incredibly amazing. Everything thig just sparkeled and was lighted perfectly. Sean Jean had by far the largest booth that housed all of their lines and they have atleast 5. The best part about the largest clothing convention in the US is all of the freebies and new things to see. Women Wear Daily plays a big part in the fashion forecasting from Magic.
The other great part about Magic is the Parties. My vegas BFF, Tva and I went to the boss lady of Billionaire Mafia clothing line birthday party in top of Mandalay Bay. Beautiful party and their party at Eve at the Arya hotel was AMAZING!!! The house was packed for Gucci Mane, Lloyd Banks and Tech 9 to preform. I had an awesome time dancing in the VIP area Billionaire Mafia had sectioned off.
After the close of Magic, I went to an event for Cj Watson, who recently signed with the Chicago Bulls. The event went really well and the cake was super cute. I’ve never really thought about how to make a basketball cake but it was great and tasted good too.
Due to laziness I didn’t make it to the award ceremony bu true to form I did make it to the Interscope after party at mr chows. Mr. Chows is an amazing restaurant but its freaking tiny. Making for a very cramped party Everybody that was at the award show went to this party. Luda cris, Keri Hilson, Diddy, Dr. Dre, and way more that I can remember. The gift bag was great! In my opinion nirvana is reached through a gift bag. A comped massage, moisturizer, a magazine, Geffen records M&M’s, and more Ed Hardy stuff that I will be giving away. Ludacris gave a bottle of his new Conjure Cognac. I had a great time and made some new friends. After the interscope party I went to a smaller party across the street where I met my friend Surai and we went to Barry’s pizza on 3rd at 4am and it was PACKED…. Maybach’s and Rolls Royce’s filled the valet. It took an hour and a half just to get in and another 3 minutes to get a table. DMx did come sit next to me so all in all an interesting night.
The beauty Expo is maybe one of the most fun trade shows I have ever attended. The had every sort of product within hair, nails, cosmetics even spa treatment and plastic surgery products. If you’re looking for deals on products and beauty tools get your self to a beauty trade show. I bought real human hair eyelashes for a dollar per pair. Gel eyeliner for $3 and two make up brushes for $3. Even if you’re not in the beauty industry any girl would LOVE this kind of show. If you’re thinking of attending beauty school of any kind I would highly recommend a trade show to visit lots of beauty school instructors and students in a very short amount of time.
Crossing one more thing off my bucket list this year by hitting the Cannes Film Festival. Cannes holds the most prestigious film festival of the year and all of the entertainment industry moves with it. A week and a half of non stop films, parties, and more parties. I’m not even sure how many days I spent there because it all ran together because I may have slept about 6 hours the whole trip. French people are serious about three things smoking, fashion and parties. All of which are included in the festival in Cannes.
After my 18 hour flight to Nice, I got on the bus to Cannes. The Bus drops you off right at the Palais in the thick of everything. I found this quite a tease because I had to go back to my hotel and drop off my load of luggage before I could come back to the festival. I couldn’t risk any of my luggage getting lost because I had so many events to hit while I was there so my carry on bags were bursting at the seems.
It took what seemed like an eternity to find a cab to my hotel. I almost cried, it was that bad. Sharpening my “Franglais” My friend Angela Cullins had already checked into the day before. True to French form the bathroom was flooded and leaked into the hallway. I slipped and landed on the floor and my luggage then burst as I expected. Again I almost cried. Angelas film in which she Co – Starred opposite Cory Haim was set to Premiere at the festival in and hour and a half and I was laying on the floor in a pool of water and a plethora of Gucci belts, Prada shoes and cocktail dresses. I quickly showered and put my game face on. I found half a croissant in the refrigerator and took it with me. When I got to the Palais it was a mess and jumping with people. Dinner was Escargot and that’s about all I remember.
Beach Pavilions behind Le Palais
No matter what country I’m in I wake up at 830am. I got my outfit together and did my hair. Took myself to the supermarket down the street for my favorite french hairspray and tanning oil. I also bought orangina, and fruit and vegetables. The hotel had a shuttle that runs to the festival and back every half hour. Le Croisette is a huge boulevard that runs forever along the water by the festival. All of life in Cannes is centered around it. I had to go shopping some more and find a place to exchange more money. The Euro is supposed to be getting weaker against the dollar but I wasn’t feeling it this trip. Euro doesn’t even feel like money. I like the American green much more. As I was passing the film office outside the marina and Angela found me on the street in passing by. We went to get our passes for the day at the office. We had tickets for a Canadian Film, My Name is Sandy. This little film struck a cord with me. It was about a French street hooker living in NYC. It was supposed to be a very serious dramatic film but I thought it was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time. There were stabs at the New York senators and racial profiling that made me nearly fall out of my chair. It actually inspired me to make a short about all types of hoes. The people who made it were very talented students and I was very impressed by the sound track.
After changing after lunch we headed back to the parties for the evening. When in Cannes there is a certain flow of daily and nightly activities. The morning you get your Cannes Market News to see whats playing and who is around. Step two get your day look together and find your way to the Palais. Step three, start drinking. Usually champagne because there is TONS of it flowing from everything. If you’re going to see a movie or not, hit the Pavilions situated around the marina and water. You have to have a Festival pass so it’s not just anybody strolling through. Every country and other major companies(like Kodak ect.) have a pavilion with drinks and Internet cafes and info on the films from that country that are showing. The American Pavilion even had a lecture hall with guest speakers. Some have full bars and restaurants others are a little less equipped.
The Chile Pavilion seemed to be the destination for happy hour or the Producers tent was another great place to meet people. After happy hour everybody disperses for dinner then after dinner its party time till whenever you fall over board or wander home. Yacht parties in Cannes are like nothing you have ever seen. 60 and 75 foot yachts look like bath toys. Essentially if your yacht isn’t at least 150 feet, don’t even get in the water. Dolce an Gabbana had their yacht the Regina D’Italia there. The Chopard Party was hosted on Xanadu.

May 15th was the annual stars and stripes party to benefit wounded veterans. I will say out of all the playboy mansion parties I have been too this was my second favorite. Besides the 3 guys who decided to beat each other to the ground between the grotto bar and the gym/ bathrooms. Everybody had a good time that I talked too and that was a lot of people. As far as I know the art auction went well. Victoria Fuller was there with her art. Hef flew in late night with his only girlfriend Crystal Harris from the playmate of the year party in Las Vegas. Crystal Harris has a new lip gloss and glitter line that was demo’d at the party. Huge vases of glitter everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE!! As always Vern Troyer was the life of the Party. His handler causes problems but we won’t get into that. Lil Kim was supposed to host the party but I didn’t see her at all that night. However what I did see was a TON of people in the Grotto. Never once have I seen the grotto so fucking packed with people, but mostly guys. A bit classier than last ears stars and stripes party.
We did after hours at Avalon in Hollywood till 5 am. Erik Morillo was the DJ and the house was packed till 6am. A girl got carried out on a strecher but the party kept moving. A green laser man on stilts was about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while in a club.
