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.

Kava Hair Mask and Serum

Kava hair mask has been the savior to my strands.  After all of the ironing and heat and ratting of my hair it gets really dry and broken.  I have virgin hair so its in the best possible position to take the beating that modeling, TV and film does to it.  I just put it on after conditioning and leave it in for at least 5 minutes then rise it out cold.  It adds an extra layer of protection to all types of abuse that is heaped on it.

I gave my friend with very curly hair the Kava hair serum, and she loves it on her hair.

It comes in 16 sizzling colors.  I like copper the best because it was closest to my natural hair color and added serious sparkle.

If you want to be a real model with legit clients, clean up your act and put the best you out there.  I’m not knocking the use of beauty aids.  We all have our tricks to pull it together, just avoid looking like an alien.  Play with different looks to create something new is fun and helps you book work from a versatility stand point just know that the real you needs to shine no matter what.

Le Palais Du Festival

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.

Rachel Mullins, DJ Paul of three 6 mafia, My party homie Dave and Justin Bobby of the hills

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.
