Louis Vuitton

2009-11-11T12:33:00.000-08:00

I love NYC. Yesterday I worked my butt off all day at HS pr to get ready for last night's Louis Vuitton event at Saks that we were pr for. It was definitely weird being on the OTHER side of the red carpet, not as press. It made me realize the following things. That a) I love fashion, b)I love nyc, c)I love my job and all the contacts and friends ive made through it the past two years, d)I love PR and e) I love champagne and tuna tar tar. I do alot of events, but this one was specifically fun. First of all, I wasn't there to interview and party. I was working with the PR team. The event was to debut Louis Vuitton's new collection, Cruise. Saks was transformed into a Jungle, it was BEAUTIFUL. I realized how many amazing friends i've made the past few years doing what I do. I ran into 2 of my friends on the red carpet (my collegue at in touch weekly and my friend brad from Us weekly), I then ran into my fabulous new best friend Naeem and his boy from the Eldridge, I also saw an Old friend Kristian who is a socialite i love and his friend who designs dresses for GAGA. I ran into my girl Christine, I ran into my friend who photographs for Patrick McMullen and tons others. I just love events like that. I also realized that i love doing pr, it's so diff then reporting, i can't compare them nor pick what i like more. Im just well rounded in both now and that opens the doors to me as to what I wanna do as a career.

Anyways, some of the new Louis Vuitton line for Cruise,

PS-go to papermag's website and vote in the 5th annual nightlife awards. My FAMILY is nominated!! OK so GREENHOUSE (barry 4 L) is nominated for best club and Eldridge (my home team) is nominated for best lounge includign DJ MIA one of our dj's!! go vote, they deserve it. Let's give it to greenhouse for best club. Every night its so fun, one oak has one before, they should take a seat this year.

the nyc anthem

So mikealis and I are in a cab the other day heading to Juliet and our cab driver turned up the radio really loud when empire state of mind came on. in the car next to us (not a cab) was this guy, a totally different race, background, culuture, completely diff human being from the cab driver. Yet with both their windows up, just by looking at eachother they could tell that they were each listening to that song and singing about NYC in sperated vehicles. They waved at eachother, kept dancing and singing, and i just thought: wow, why haven't we thought of this before? That's all it takes to bring people in this city together: patriotism...and jay z...so jay for governor, long live nyc.

Halloween, what a nightmare. PS. I have to vent about this because it upset me to the point of no return on Saturday night. someone please explain to me the point of the Village Halloween parade. As a 6th avenue apartment renter, I see ZERO point in it. First off, it blocks traffic from the village to chelsea on 3 avenues. Secondly, it doesn't bring in ANY revenue for nYc as it's free. Third, the ammount of money the city spends on Police, blocking travel, closing trains down, police to search people getting on trains, clean up crew, ETC ETC ETC makes me ill. Here's what it did for me- I had to walk from 6th ave and 15th st (my apt) to the east mother fucking village. I was hosting a party for Matt Levine at the Rivington Penthouse and my brother, boyfriend, and friend could NOT get a cab, nor could we get on a train as they were all blocked any where down to the village. After 45 minutes of walking, in my stupid idiotic fucking 80's costume, i wanted to kill everyone i knew. Everyone hated me for a good hour because of my mood but can u blame me? NO im not drunk yet, and NO im not in the halloween spirit, and NO the thousands upon thousands of lady gagas everywhere are NOT cute NOR funny NOR original. The night ended up awesome once I had my bottle of vodka. The Rivington Hotel, for those of you who haven't been special enough to go there, is one of the most upscale beauitful hotels in nyc, and the penthouse is not even worth explaining. It's a gem in the LES. All i can tell u is if your lucky enough to attend an event there, go to the penthouse, and look at the view. I ended up with 3 tables that night, too many people, a bunch of c list celebs, and 4 clubs all in one night, not that it's suprising only that it was TIRING. Every single one required a LONG walk or a car service (or a bouncer nice enough to give us a ride). halloween can suck my nuts and next year, im staying in. im too old for that shit!!

Thank god all the girls at the PR firm I work at are anti "dwelling on the holiday" bitches too like me, and insisted that ANY (if any) halloween decorations that were put up, were PROMPTLY removed by monday morning. thanks bitches.

stop raining!

2009-10-28T07:14:00.000-07:00

will this fucking rain stop already? I dont want to miss home more than I already do. The past two months have been so busy with our full nightlife schedule that I haven't been able to head home to florida. I usually go bi monthly, so when I go home for Thanksgiving, it will be glorious. beach, food, my dog, mikealis jordan haley koko and jake koko all under one roof. I love thanksgiving, even with recently divorced parents, it doesnt make me sad, just happy. on another note, Im working three days a week at Harrison Shiftman PR. WE (yes we, I like to feel a part of the lifestyle team over here) represent GREY GOOSE which is the majority of time spent as well as Jimmy Choo, some energy drinks, Crumbs cup cakes, and some other stuff. I love all the girls in the office, and it gets me out of bed before 3 pm three days a week which is good. Mikealis and I are officially part of the Eldridge ML creative group team which we LOVE. We feel like family already over there. Funny thing is, it's the most exclusive celeb studded club in nyc. But because its on the east side (gasp) people don't know about it nor do they hold it to the same standards as oak or avenue. Matt Levine is personally best friends with more famouse people then I could care to name, not bragging but I feel like some people are tragic and need to know-there's more to this city then 17th street. What certain people in this city DONT know, is that, there are spots that are WAY more fucking exclusive and fabulously guest list than One Oak and Avenue. Don't get me wrong, both of those places have done a lot of good for me in more ways than one and i love them but im just saying, Eldridge for the win, I would tell u all to try it out but u cant, guest list only every night. And i dont mean the kind of guest list only bullshit that Binn pulls if you aren't hot enough. I mean, litterally, guest list only, it doesn't matter if your hot or whatever. you gotta know matt, or me (ha) or one of the other team members. We are also promoting at SL now, I really love Adam Spoont. For those of you who dont know him or think he's a douche bag, get over yourselves. He rules. He's taken us in and given us such amazing treatment and respect, I think he could run for president, or at least governor. Right behind Matt Levin. Sl has been good to us, Eugene Remm is the greatest dude on the planet and showers mikealis with man love. Ellington and Isaah (if you dont know them, you're retarded) have also become friends of ours. We do Friday nights with them at Tenjune. I was nervous at first that we wouldn't live up to their MODELS ONLY rule BUT, we have felt right at home with those dudes and love goin to pre dinners with them and hanging with them.

Tonight we start our first night at Juliet. As a Barry Mulleniux supporter and friend, I am excited to be apart of him and Jon B's newest venture on the west side highway. See this is yet another place that's ten times better than "other places". It's GORGEOUS, everyone is mad cool, John mayer goes there (mmm) and you can't find a better vibe right now. Floor to ceiling crystals, whatever, check it out...or come with us, you know the drill. For Halloween, we are hosting (for the amazing Matt Levine of course) a party at the Rivington hotel in the Penthouse. A VERY VERY special guest has rented out Eldridge for the night so we are moving our crew to teh Rivington pent house. Later, sneaking into Eldridge. I have no intentions of dressing up as anything more than a convenient devil in the same dress I'd otherwise be wearing with some Christian Loubs to compliment the black and red vibe. Im too old for that....then again, so is Matt and he's apparantly going all out, so maybe I should to. Doubtful.

Mikealis is about to do another music video. Unfortunately, as a graduate, I don't care and have no intensions on lifitng a finger, if that makes sense. Andre, my trusted partner in video crime, is going to do it for his reel. For the first time ever at a mikealis shoot, I will be sitting back, NOT yelling. Stand by for that.He also has a show at the end of the month somewhere.

Im also about to be part of a HUGE nightlife blogging website, secret, with my bff of life Troy. He's working on getting the funding, Im working on looking pretty, and we will meet in the middle haha..no but that's goign to be amazing. bye

xoxo

you will be mine.

Wow

2009-10-16T14:31:00.000-07:00

Alot's been going on in our world the past couple weeks. all good things though. I got a really great internship with H&S PR. My boss at in touch referred me for it. It's great, they represent grey goose amongst others. Ill be there three days a week. Also, Mikealis is playing a really big show at CMJ next week, excited about that. We can officially announce our new line up for promoting. we are SO happy to be working with the people we are now working with, we feel super lucky to be working with all the great people who have contacted us recently. We are officially employees of the great EMM group. They own tenjune, SL, STK, etc. We are doing a night solo at SL, and a joint night with the EMM boys at Tenjune. We will be riding in style and warmth this winter in an EMM escalade so our girls dont freeze haha. dinners at stk, mmm. wish i ate steak. Also, we are soooo happy to be the first promoters to EVER work for the Eldridge. Matt Levine is one of the most LEGIT, nice and REAL owners in the city. He originally opened Eldridge only for his friends family and celebs. It is STILL that way. Guest list only, we have seen some amazing people in there and our thursday table Was PACKED. He keeps the bottles flowing and Mel dj's the best set. We love the Eldridge team and feel SO lucky to be a part of it! Thursdays at Eldridge, for the win. before that matt generously gives a big dinner at the rivington hotel, cocktails and all. love him and his team. Of course, we are still going to be working with Greenhouse as they are family to me. We are going to do a greenhouse night and also, this week, they opened their new spot Juliet. Very excited to officially be doing a night there for Barry and Jon B. It's gorgeous and elite, it's going to be a new hotspot. Other spots we might pick up nights include butter and oak eventually down the line we will be back there again. on our nights off, we've been hitting up all the hot spots but to be honest, avenue and oak, they're just sorta dead to me now. there's so many amazing spots in nyc that are just as celeb fabulous studded and less guido. all of which we are now working at. It's crazy how good we feel and how much fun our crew is we've been bringing out. things are good....ALSO, there's a really great blog website called selfabosrbed.me and i've been in touch with them about blogging for them. A friend of mine who's a big promoter in the city has found a company that wants to sponsor them with ad space etc. we are aiming to make it into a guest of a guest TYPE website, and id be part of the founding crew, stand by for news on that, that's gunna be fun.

much love

Well...

Code Blue! This new drink, Code Blue, has saved my days from being totally worthless (I mean they are still worthless) the past week. Try it, it's hard to find. You might have to go to their website to find out where it's carried BUT, it's a recovery drink, the first of it's kind. After 5 patron shots on Thursday night between Soho Grand, our table at greenhouse followed by Cyrus hooking up the shots at One Oak, code blue recovered me. Last night, what could have been horrifically embaressing, wasn't. I drank myself stupid with Karen and Mikealis and Jordan at La Pomme, Symone and Oak and at Oak I saw Kid Cudi. WELL, I've interviewed him and we had a good vibe so I went to say hi and stuff, he was mad nice, we ended up chilling by his table for a while and then I saw Russle Simmons. A couple months ago (after interviewing him at least 4 times and seeing him out monthly) I thought it would be appropriate to say "HEY RUSS!" out front of one oak to him as we were walking in. needless to say, he looked at me like "should i know that person"? When I interviewed him during fashion week, I made sure that he was aware of how embaressing that was and he said he would never NOT say hi again. So when he came up to owner's table at oak last night, I smiled at him and hoped he remembered- he did. So i got a big kiss from RUSS last in which i replied that he was too old to be out. Just because we are on a recognizable state of friendship, DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO START JOKING WITH HIM LIKE THAT. He kinda did an awkward laugh, and under an hour later, left. Maybe he heeded my advice?
Still no job. Don't worry, no matter how many times my mother and father call me a day, Im still not looking. I mean I will, just like I will start working out again, and I will clean the apartment, and decorate. All those things, i have pLenty of time to do, just a lack of will power to do them as Im perma tired/hungover. I woke up this morning between my best friend karen aka miley and my boyfriend...and what was the first thing we talked about upon awakening? It wasn't our day's plans, it was, SO WHO SHOULD WE INVITE TO OUR TABLE AT GRIFFIN TONIGHT. BRAINWASHED? YES. In other news, we are picking up a new night. We of course will stay at greenhouse tues and thursdays because Barry the owner and the crew there is like family to me and i love our table up in the vip there, best times. We will also SUPPORT wedndsay nights still at One Oak and then maybe still stay at griffin sats (not sure i hate that fucking place) and then on Fridays, our boss has secured AVENUE. Yes people, I think i can officially announce, MIkealis and I will be doing a table at Avenue on Fridays! Don't drop our name at the door though, they won't let you in and I don't need that type of anxiety, I already have enough anxiety. Im trying not to need to up my lexapro to 20 mg, I wanna stay at 15..

Im pleased to announced that as a new graduate I am making ZERO progress in finding a life. I have made a life out of going to greenhouse (Where we work and LIVE basically- shout out to my family over there) then end up till 5 am every night in one oak with karin, mikealis, and sam fox. Basically, we promote our tables, somehow end up late night in one oak or avenue after greenhouse or wherever we promoted, and then i wake up at 230 pm the next day when it's time to take my lexapro and birth control. I chug an ice coffee, check my favorite blogs, maybe go on an outting with MIkealis, then retire for my afternoon nap only to prepare to do it all over that night! Thus, I need a job. No, my parents do not consider In Touch and promoting a job. They are old fashioned (not really, they're just smart) and think that getting up in the morning and putting all my amazing new fall clothes to use for the day at a day job is the proper definition of a job. So, I've reached out to all 6903888 contacts I've made since I've lived here letting them know that yes, I am looking for freelance work as an Editor, Director, Dp, whatever. Ny magazine and in touch barely paid for my last pair of christians and I really can't rely on it. So, friends, think of me when something that screams my name pops up. You all know that I'm well versed in everything from film to PR, so find me a job friends. for all those drinks i poured u, times i let u bring ur ugly friend to our table, or told the door guy to ignore your flip flops and let u in, REPAY ME.

ON another note, Mikealis and Pdizzzy's newest video has been crushing it in the plays. It's currently being sent to a bunch of hip hop blogs. They have a show at the Delancey later this month. Mikealis is getting RAVE reviews on his new myspace layout, and his new songs. Myspace.com/mikealis. He is also about to be featured in YRB magazine under the radar section. my little talented awesome brother jordan (whom got bombarded with sparklers at greenhouse last night to celebrate his 21st) is producing the mixtape!

ITS HERE

2009-09-25T23:17:00.001-07:00

it's finally here kids. after a bunch of bullshittin around, i finally got greater good done. I graduated college today...well, film school (not serious college) but good enough for me. im 23, time to move on. i feel so awesome, it hasn't really set in. i wanna thank everyone who's helped me in nyc the past two years. I've accomplished a shit ton and built an incredibly idealistic life here for myself....so thanks, i owe those who were a stepping stone in it. Anywho, I guess as far as film goes, this is the culmination of it all: a sick video, high def, that i directed and edited (with the help of my sidekick producer andre). I hope to make thousands of dollars a video doing rap videos some day (mikealis for the win) but in the mean time, ill settle with a couple hundred bucks per red carpet, a couple hundred bucks per table we promote (which mikealis donates all to me for cooking for my garbage disposal of a boyfriend and brother), and my studded christian louboutins that smile at me every day and marvel at how i paid for them. not sure what's next for me but i do know that im surrounded by the most amazing support system possible. ill take leaps for unreachable dreams just because i know they'll be a cushion. currently, i feel even more like im on vacation than usual. I give it one week before my dad starts wondering why i consider working out and hanging with my boyfriend a day job and especially why i consider asking celebrities awkward questions and popping free bottles a career...then ill have to figure it out. but till then....*sigh* maybe mikealis and i will finally buy a ladder to our loft. doubtful.

This week has been INSANE. We went on some weird party binge (more so then usual). So Thursday night at the Tommy Hillfiger red carpet was awesome. Tommy is one of the FEW american designers to open a flagship store on 5th avenue and it was a huge deal for him. In attendance was a lot of cool people (Flip video coming soon of my interviews). I interviewed penn bagdley, Russel simmons, Tommy, amongst other people (all of whom i had interviewed before). mikealis and i went into the store and had champagne after the carpet. The store is INSANE! everyone should go check it out. We chatted with some friends and celebrated the end of fashion week with the who's who. Afterwards, we did our table at greenhouse which was AMAZING, we packed it out that night (as usual). Friday night mike had a show in a boutique in the lower east side. he literally SHUT IT DOWN. everyone went crazy for him as usual. His new songs are so amazing, check out myspace.com/mikealis to hear KOKONUT juice, crushes it! afterwards, we were everywhere. I was feeling very indecisive so me colleen sam fox and karin and australian sam and mikealis went to sushi spot in the les (since we were already down there) for SAKE BOMBS. after that we went to webster hall to check out mike's boy VIking (worst place on the planet for stuck up bitches like us but always fun to hang with my best friend lindsday luv and see viking) , from there we hit the worst club on the planet, ten june. longest running HOT spot in nyc, ok yea right. I hate that place, we couldn't even walk in there it was a nightmare, we peaced out. so we headed to oak, binn just knows to open the ropes for us at this point haha. we had patrone shots, chase crawford was "hiding". he's SO gay, seriously-he's gay, i will prove it too. i have it on good faith that he is gay officially, or bi. Oak was boring, so we left and Barry hit me up saying "come to greenhouse" so we rolled to greenhouse at like 330 in the morning for a free bottle and a table in the basement to ourselves, next to will who we love. we closed the night off at my apt eating pizza till 6 am. Saturday we did brunch at cafeteria (brunch at 430 haha) and that night was insane. we went to griffin to work our table but terek told us we could leave so we went to avenue which as always is popping off. at around 4 am, after too many patrone shots at ave, we went next door with will to one oak, we had a table there and our boss mysteriously appeared, it was a long night.

on a more important note, Thursday night MIkealis has a show in the LES with 88 keys. 88 keys did a song with Kanye west and kid cudi this year. YRB magazine is hosting the event and they are doing a story on MIkealis in the radar section. we would love to pack the show out with OUR friends. So if your coming, please rsvp to this e-mail address with your name and "plus 1". heatrockmanagement@gmail.com. Thanks!

I love the fall!

2009-09-17T11:08:00.000-07:00

So, fashion week is almost over. Can't say im sad to see it go. we've been incredibly busy this week. Mikealis and I have been to countless events, I've interviewed countless celebs and socialities that no one cares about, while still trying to wrap up school stuff, and also, at night, we've been running our tables! so it's been little sleep. did i mention we moved into our SICK new apartment all by ourselves the other day? yeah, been a busy week. Tuesday at greenhouse, I discovered (thanks to my DEAR friend and ghouse owner Barry) the secret patron room at greenhouse. it's not really a secret room, it's just where barry told me to go for patron shots all night as to avoid our countless bottles of vodka on our table (im so sick of vodka). So i got a little too drunk and had to interview michael kors the next morning at 9 am, needless to say, it wasnt great. last night at oak, our table was looking better then anyone else's (thanks to the stylings of my girls sam fox, karin diver hotty, and colleen firey red head). Ron jeremy wanted to sit with us so badly, he kept waving at me to give him drinks and invite him up, but alas, he is a PIG, and I was having him NO where NEAR my girls. Then, busta rhymes kept looking over so i felt the need to go talk to him, I had been at an event he played at in miami on new years, so i said "hi, what's up busta!" as if he knew me. he's chill as fuck, chatted for a while, did some more patron shots, danced in the dj booth, stumbled outside yonder 4 am and headed home. tonight im doing the carpet at the tommy hilfiger show, i can't wait for this shit to end. on another note, mikealis has a show tomorrow night at a boutique, and next friday with 88 keys (but that's a private invite only show), wish him luck, he has also has an amazing song about to drop on his myspace. things are going so well for him, srsly, he amazes me. fall fashion, i love it, I'm srsly the most fashion obsessed girl on the planet right now. if you see me in the streets, try not to be jealous of my layering techniques.

also, moving today, will be having house warming party soon! HUGE one bedroom on 15th street, LOVE our new apartment! Greenhouse tonight. How about Kanye btw? We were shocked, the room fell silent, it was like he killed a puppy. Mike has a show with his producer on the 24th so NOT gunna slander him too much but I gotta say, he's just not a pleasant person. tried to grab an interview with him a few times, he's just really not pleasant. Fashion week is ALMOST over, I am doing a few backstage shows this week to wrap it up and mikealis has a show at a boutique on friday, busy week. The city has been on fire. For a while, it felt dead, no gossip, nothing great happening. With fAshion week and the vma's, and the us open, I've been getting a lot of awesome gossip and our tables have been surrounded by celebs nearly everywhere. I love when NYC is on fire like this!!

fashion night out thus far!!!!!

2009-09-11T18:37:00.000-07:00

Fashion week kicked off technically on Wed night. We do One Oak every Wednesday night and it's always a pain in the ass to get our group in there but this week was especially a pain in the ass. First off, me and sam fox and mikealis were early so we decided to go to Avenue (next door) for a drink, well, Justin Timberlake (tooth pick in mouth and all, trashy) was busy entering in a trashy denim jacket. So then, we headed to the corner to meet our group, which unfortunately was a little TOO big for that night because Binn was like guys, it's packed out, Im letting half in. Oops, sorry girls. So the club was packed out as usual. Kid CUdi performed day n night and Funk master Flex dj'd. also michael phelps was running around, Akon dapped Mike up, kanye and jay z were "on their way" all night, and the militia arms dealer bought EVERY bottle of cristal in the club, literally.
so last night for fashion night out, i was running around for in touch and ny magazine. I covered the Kid Cudi listening party at the Bape store--Interviewed him. we were the only people allowed in at first and cudi had cameras following him so our interview was on camera which is funny. Then went to BBC where 1000 kids were outside trying to get in. went up stairs to interview pharrel while he rang up sales, it was fun. had a glass of champagne with him and mikealis and coped a hoodie. he's pretty amazing. darted out to the sean john store to interview diddy. He's amazing, i seriously believe he could run the country, diddy for president. He stopped our interview TWICE to compliment mike's outfit (video below). Then went to some stores, etc. ended the night at our table at greenhouse.... FNO success. I love nights like that. Fashion week is NOT over, we will be all over, stay tunes. Also, GREATER GOOD is ALMOST done!! ps-we bought a flip camera so expect the blog to be full of vids from now on.

CRUSHED IN IN LOS ANGELES

2009-09-06T19:11:00.000-07:00

So we just got home from what was officially the biggest show mikealis has EVER played. LA and I have a love hate relationship, this is def one of the best trips I've had there thus far (and I've spent a LOT of time there). We started by landing, getting our rental car, and taking jordan to in and out. jordan had never been to la so this was crucial. we spent the weekend in the most retarded house on the planet consisting of my best friend tommy, his 4 band mates, and 17 other out of town guests. MTV needs to do a reality show on this house immediately. There was never a dull moment, spent the days cruising hollywood, at night, we hit all the hotspots (mikealis and i as if we dont go out enough here in nyc). Saturday was the big day. It was the DEBUT coming out show for the It Boys. Tommy, is one of my best friends in the world and asked MIkealis (who then asked Chae Hawk to team with him) to open for them. His brother Tal, Benji Madden, and DCMA put on the party. The count clocked in at officially 530 plus people. Celebs in attendance were Benji Madden, Lindsay Lohan, tom Green (random), Samantha Ronson, Rob Dyrdek, our buddy Jeffree Star amongst others. Mikealis and Chae did a four song set with our good friend Tanner on the drums, they totally killed it. It was insane. The It boys made everyone want to die of awesomeness and all around it was just a really phenomenal time and night. we can not thank the it boys, our dear friends, enough for inviting mikealis to open and us to stay for the weekend...

stay tuned for video, photos, etc. there were a million record labels there, cross ur fingers for mikealis.

As if we aren't jet lagged enough, we are throwing the labor day party at ONE OAK tonight, TIRED.

Tonight we do our typical tuesday night table at greenhouse and then tomorrow we are going to LA for the It Boys show which Mikealis is opening for. We've found people to cover our tables while we are gone and we are ready to go. It's going to be crazy to be back in LA with our best friends, and the show is going to be REALLY crazy. I lived out in LA last summer for 6 week, it holds a special place in my heart although I really hate LA for more then 4 days there (im a new yorker 4 L) MIKEALIS has been working really hard with Chae Hawk for their joint set which feature a song with 30h3 and other dance bangers. we are definitely gunna hit the Hollywood hotspots (Hwood, Apple, Jane) and it's gunna be nice to have OTHER people taking care of US for once haha. Gotta show LA people how we newyorks do VIP. So I guess stay tuned for pictures and videos. Jordan is going to buy 14 boxes of nicorette for the plane, it's going to be hillarious. When we come back, Im covering a bunch of fashion week events for In touch so look for mikealis and i on the runways hahaha.

ps, check out our friend Michael's website TheStyleLabOnline.Com, I've been blogging for him.

The Video Shoot

2009-08-21T21:36:00.001-07:00

Today we shot the video for Greater Good at greenhouse. Even though we had to promote our table at Greenhouse last night until 3 am (it was donnis's after party), we still woke up in time today ready to go. It was of course AMAZING because it's an amazing place, song, and the people that came out were truly friends and people with talent. We had a camio by Fonda from Team Facelift (and we are going to have camio's from other big names in the next scene) and Ralphie (Greenhouse photographer) and my girl lindsay luv, our boy JR (greenhouse dj) and a bunch of other dope ass people. The girls that came out were STUNNING, some of my BEST fucking friends, and I killed it directing, even with a bum voice. My crew worked hard (Felix marvin Andre shout outs) Mikealis and DIzzy killed it, it was successful! We still have to shoot some footage for it with some other big name camios (in other locations) but for the most part, the most important part is done and it looks INSANE!! Here are some screen shots! MIkealis and I are OFF for two days to the beach to DETOX from the crazy month we've had. We will be back in full force next week editing, promoting, planning for LA, and just running shit, haha. night!

wow

2009-08-20T13:58:00.001-07:00

I can't believe we are still standing. SO, we have had a crazy week promoting almost every night and planning out the music video for tomorrow. This is the fourth major music video I've directed but it's really, to me, the most important because of where we are shooting it and also because Mikealis is really pushing his new stuff heavy. So we've been really tired from going out at night then me in school and my dad's been here so we've been out all day the past two days. Tonight is our dear friend Donnis' album release party. We have a dinner meeting with the Greenhouse owner then we are going to brooklyn (ugh) for the album party then we have our table at greenhouse THEN tomorrow is the big shoot! So come out and be an extra in our video tomorrow at 230, greenhouse...expecting big camios!! It's gunna be crazy, we gotta make it look like its 1 am on a tuesday when its 2pm on a friday in the club!!!

a true one oak night--shwayze SUCKS

2009-08-13T10:06:00.001-07:00

It's been a while since we've had a TRUE One Oak night where there was a performance. Last night was one of those nights when I remember why that club is what it is. We did our typical pregame at hudson terrace last night and went to oak as we do every Wednesday. We got a special kind of vodka this week (cuz we are special)....Belvedeer Black. It's gross, it has pepper in it, don't drink it. Anyways, I ran into some OLD friends I was really excited to see and we had a great group with us. Then all of a sudden Shwayze (who's completely talentless and stupid) did a surprise performance. Oak is pretty infamous for these special performances. The thing is, everyone in there is HAND picked to be in there, so people like Kid Cudi, Ryan Leslie etc LIKES to perform there, the vibe is just amazing. So the funniest part is, Rhianna was in the corner, MISERABLE. She couldn't even believe that the two of them had fame, or even an album. It was priceless, she looked like she was thinking 'what the fuck is wrong with the music business'. She put on her sunglasses and freaking texted their entire set, it was so funny. Shwayze---take a hint, your album BARELY sold 30000 copies (which no that's not good for a band with a reality show) and stop talking about how many girls your fucking, your in ONE OAK, NO ONE is impressed. Anyways, Good ol true nyc night that makes me stoked to be alive and doing what i do in this city...

Rhianna

2009-08-12T15:33:00.000-07:00

Sat next to us last night at Greenhouse up in the Vip area...She's gorgeous. Hard to believe she allowed someone to beat the shit out of her because she has muscles like a man....that is all. One oak and Hudson terrace tonight! And music video shoot at greenhouse next friday come through!!

Its Official

2009-08-06T20:13:00.000-07:00

As if we're not there enough, I am officially shooting my final music video (while in film school) at my favorite club in nyc, Greenhouse. I am SO grateful to the owner, Barry, for allowing me to do this (free of charge) as a friend. This will be the last piece to go on my reel. Mike and I work there a few nights a week (we have a table in the vip) and always talk about how sick it would be to shoot a video there. Its official! Mikealis ft Pdizzy. Mikealis has worked super hard on his new mixtape and this is for one of the songs off of it. Watch out for a ton of camios, hot cars, and sick lights. We want all our hot cool friends to be there. Speaking of being there, we are there tonight, Rhianna's coming through!

this week

2009-08-04T16:00:00.001-07:00

Hey All,

Typical but yet fun week ahead for us. Tonight we have Greenhouse. I love tuesdays at greenhouse because Barry (my main man and owner over there) takes SUCH (and i mean SUCH) good care of us, vip table etc. So come with if ur cute lol. Rhianna is in the city. She was at Avenue and Mr. West last night, wouldn't be surprised if she was sitting at the table next to us tonight at g house. Also, our girl Lindsay Crushed it last night at her Mix Tape release party. As far as friends are concerned, someone that I look up to and respect VERY much in my life has released an important album today. Stephen Christian, front man of Anberlin, has been working on his side project, Anchor and Braille, for a long time. It finally dropped on Itunes today. It's so worth buying. It's the perfect mood music, it's chill and as any Anberlin fan will know, his voice is amazing. Honestly it's hard to even put it in a genre which is why it's so different and better than anything else out there right now. It's light, and it will give you goosebumps! So go to Itunes and buy it. It's called Felt. He's married to my best friend and I've gotten to know him over the years. I can honestly say FEW people in my life really really uplift me and make me wanna be a better person like these two do. Stephen's deserving of his success, go buy it.

Happy Tuesday ,

mer.

ps- who's coming out to be in Mikealis and Dizzy's musiv video that Im directing at Greenhouse?! Special Camios including my best friend Tommy from the It Boys.

OUr bitch Lindsay!

2009-08-03T18:32:00.001-07:00

Tonight is a big night. Our best friend Lindsay, is about to take on the world and tonight she proves it. She's been working her ass off to become one of the most successful female (and in male) dj's in the city, she's working on the country, followed by the world. She spins at places like Greenhouse, The Gates, Antik, Webster Hall, the Elderidge and the member only spot, The Soho House. She can cater to any crowd, and she's hot. She really is a talented girl, and a great friend and we are proud to share with all of you about her big night tonight as well as her accomplishments. So if your around tonight, and your cool, come by Antik to listen to her new mix cd and her spin.

2009-08-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

We are trying to be better with this. We have SO much cool stuff going on, eventually we aim to be a big recognizable party blog here in NYC...pictures, a calander, stories and sightings,etc. Currently we are busy promoting but also working on our projects. We promote Greenhouse Tuesday, Hudson Terrace and One Oak on Wed, Greenhouse Thursday, we hope around nyc on Friday, The Gates for dinner and than Griffin on Saturdays and Sundays we sleep, Monday's will probably be filled soon. On the side, we are plotting our next music video which I can now OFFICIALLY and PROUDLY say is being shot at the legendary Greenhouse! I am very good friends with the owner, and this is a VERY dear favor he's is doing for me. mikealis and dizzy will have a ton of friends and camios in it so watch out for that. mikealis is finishing his mix tape--we're busy! But aim to build this up (in correlation with Mikealis' new website) as a huge NYC nightlife wrap up.

Last night we were throwing down at Griffin in the meatpacking district. It was a typical packed out Saturday untill a wasted mikealis spotted a huge blinging 103 chain; sickk Young Jeezy and like 30 of his boys came in beside us popn bottles and heinken. I wish Drake would have not injured himself and maybe he would have been out last night! Besides that I have an official website being made which will be updated on the reg with our imroved nightlife blog && We will be posting much more pictures and stories of whats going d out there !

not a good look leo.

Whats up

2009-05-27T16:50:00.000-07:00

lots has been going on. hard to keep up with this. First off, i think we will no longer be doing this particular blog anymore. Today announced was my best friend's reality show called miami social, airing on bravo in july. This best friend, michael cohen, is starting a website called style lab which i talk about alot. anyways, i am the nyc editor for the wesbite so ill be doing my NIGHTLIFE blog on that website, and im thinking ill ONLY run that blog unless my boyfriend wants to continue to run this one. REally excited about this. ILl be blogging about my carpet interviews, and all the crazy stuff we run into running around nyc to the best clubs every night. Um, Also, Mike and I are doing the video and theme song for the website so that's taking up a lot of time. I have to shoot my best friend Steven Bagg's video this coming weekend and also, MY girl Baya who did real world has asked me to do HER video some time soon. Super busy. On top of it all, Mike and I as a team are out every night Mike has tables all over the place and we are constantly having to bring girls out. So if your a model or cute or fun or whatever hit up mikealis on his myspace or facebook adn come out with us. Im really trying to remain grounded. Trying to make sure I spend time with my BEST friends as much as I can (ellen, Gabi, Cj, etc etc) while trying to acclimate jordan to the city (not like he isn't already). Im trying to stay focused on what i came here originally to do--be a director....but sometimes the glitz and glamour and night life get in the way. Good thing i have good people to keep me grounded. Mikealis is doing a track with Fonda from Team Facelift tomorrow night, should be awesome.
more soon xx.

HEY

2009-05-22T20:30:00.000-07:00

OK, so, Mike started promoting Griffin this week. It's awesome. Tuesday was kinda empty so they decided to not do Tuesdays but saturdays and thursdays there are amazing. It's the newest club in NYC right in meat packing. Its competing with oak and tenjune of course so they had to step it up. Ellen, my best friend, jazzy, trooped it out with me thursday....I partied tuesday night then wed at one oak then thursday griffin, im so tired. we are really beat. Tomorrow we have to do griffin again, and this time mike has to fill the table totally alone cuz cj and terrick are in hamptons. THEN sunday we are going to the hamptons. I have a lot going on out there this summer. Besides my BEST friends Gabi and CJ running a huge house out there, My girl amanda is in charge of Dune's production stuff and my other friend is doing a situation with Matt levine (eldridge owner) who i also know. and in touch/ny mag wants me out there a lot so im going to be out there as much as possible this summer. Also, Tuesday, my best friend michael's reality show is going to be announced on Tuesday, it's called Miami social airing on Bravo this summer. During that show, he is promoting his website called the style lab. this will be a HUGE success. It's a virtual closet mini blog WORLD accessible off facebook etc. Im running the entire NYC section of it, doing a night life blog and my girls ellen and carolyn are going to do fashion blogs for me. Going to be really amazing, stand by for more on that. Also Mikealis is doing the theme song for the website which rules. Um, Jordan moved here. Already in the nights he's been here, he met Dolce and Gabana's son who is totally hooking us up, and FLY SOCIETY (the rap group down with pharrel) who are currently recording in my apt and MIkealis is doing a track with them....So jordan, so happy to have you <3

The perfect nyc night

2009-05-20T10:28:00.001-07:00

was last night. pre gaming with my friends and brother. Hit griffin , had our own private table champagne and goose, then hit tenjune for a little couch dancing with my best friend gabi who rules at life at her table, then ended up late night of course in one oak at owners table and kid cudi was there. i love late nights in nyc like that club hopping to the best clubs. Also i made a new friend of an old friend (this girl from tampa i knew who now is my neighbor) and she came out with us. mike had the BEST group at griffin, he was crushing it....and ellen might have to be promoted from nanna because shes a trooper!!!!

xx

Griffin

2009-05-17T11:06:00.001-07:00

the newest of the new in nyc. Went last night, every table gets their own personal bar (well, if your special like terrick and cj u do) and it's stocked with patron goose champagne, its overwhelming. Gorgeous chandeliers, couches---Def the new hot spot! good luck getting in though haha. made friends with my neighbor downstairs. she's actually from tampa...we knew each other there kind of. I feel like i need to save her (she goes to ruff club). jordan moves here tom. Mike wrote new song.

Birthday Weekend

2009-05-11T17:19:00.000-07:00

Had an AMAZING bday weekend. Started it Friday night at Mr. West....and Saturday spent the day shopping with Ellen. She had arranged the most gorgeous dinner with my best friends at BOND st sushi that night. IT was fun, ate amazing sushi and drank alot. Dinner was SUPer expensive--nanna grabbed most of the tab, shes the best. Then Cj Flagged us down a limo and we headed to cellar bar where we had a bottle and a table. I don't really remember much of this part but I got really drunk and apparantly a gay guy slapped mike's ass. At around 3 am I decided that it would be a good idea to go to Greenhouse. Since my friend is the owner, he offered up some shots and we got wasted...steven and ryan slept over and we saw the sun come up. Sunday my actual birthday i laid in bed and recovered till i went to cj's and sat on couch and watched celebrity apprentice with gabs, mike, cj, erica and then went to gold bar. good weekend, i am So thankful for my friends they really out did themselves and i appreciate it to death guy!! xoxo

Steven has show at Public Assembly tonight and MIke is doing dont go away acoustic come come

I had a meeting at MTV today---stand by.

Wednesdays

2009-05-07T07:20:00.000-07:00

I made my friend from far away, jen, come out with us last night to so she could get a little taste of my life. well that taste was puke cuz she was sick as fuck and at one point texted me "im pool side"...??? she was in the rain. I dont know, upon exiting one oak, ellen falls in puddle then three, yes three, cabs pass her and don't stop. omfg fml funniest shit ever.

stand by for big news.

the ky debry

2009-05-05T14:42:00.000-07:00

Born and raised, this is not a new tradition to me. I've gone to the derby my entire life. There is a certain sense of pride that comes along with it ESPECIALLY when we sing my old ky home before the race runs on the first saturday of may. The past couple years have been a bit different. Instead of pregaming in fields and bussing it to the infield at the track, the past couple years Ive been sitting at the track both days with my dad in his corporate tent/box and attending the vip events for in touch.
After a long night at one oak wed, and a long day of traveling thursday, i was anxious to land in louisville. Mike and i were greeted by my best friend of many years who drove us downtown to meet my dad. Downtown louisville has ONE street with a ton of bars and clubs on. Its NO nyc, but for louisville, it's cool. Samantha Ronson was at first djing the street, litteraly just on a stage in the street. We get there, immediately (this is why i love life) in another state, get media passes and vip wrist bands to avoid all covers at the bars. We are then immediately met out front by my handsome dad who's waving his hand in the air. He grabs my hand (he likes to show me off) and leads the three of us to the back of this club where he and his friends are doing SHOTS-welcome home haha. So we get shit faced with my awesome dad, the best part is (this is nothing new btw) I had to cover a Sam Ronson party at a club on that same street at 2 am. This was supose to be somewhat of a VIP situation (although nothing in ky is really vip lol)....walked in with my DAD, mikealis, abby, and my dad's driver (total redneck) and it was so funny. Mikealis got a picture with sam (who has the MANLIEST voice ever) and i somehow made it back in the escalade to the hotel by 3 am. The track Friday was great. Dad has us all set up in a company tent where it's cattered and open bar all day. From there you can bet in privacy and avoid lines, then you can walk back and fourth from the box track side (To watch the races) and the corporate tent. well we always lose alot of money, the oaks was no different. Dad and I probably lost...nevermind a number, alot. Friday night was the annual Barn Stable Brown Gala. It's a famous party thrown the night before Derby every year. IT's a star studded event in the home of a very wealthy family in Louisville. It's transformed into a black tie celebrity ball with cattering and live performances. Dad's driver scooped mike and i, dad and his date, and the couple dad took as guests. we got to the gala and immediately were lead to our table which had unlimited grey goose bottles and moet all night. we got wasted. at some point i saw my dad jumping up and dad when kid rock performed. boyz II men performed....a bunch of others. paris hilton looked great...i ate the chocolate fountain..mike caught eli mannings football and took pic with him....dad was wasted so we left the gala and headed to another party i was suppose to attend down town. The best part was i got to invite my two best friends with me (i grew up with 5 girls only). we got wasted and had a blast. The next morning at the Derby, i was a bit....hungover. At the track, I tried to bloody mary it away. The derby was amazing. The long shot horse had my same birthday...so i felt good about him. Ive been betting on horse racing since I was 10. I don't usually make stupid bets but this was a stupid bet. I bet the longshot horse (50-1 odds) 10$ to win (along with some other smart bets) because i shared the same birthday as this horse. Therefore me dad, his best friend, and some others all bet on the same horse.... The derby is known as the most exciting 2 minutes in sports, and it really is. At first he was dead last---you couldn't even see him. When a random horse broke away and won by a longshot, we were all sorta like who was that?. it was 8. it was my horse. we now knew we were rich, and began to freak the fuck out. The horse paid a ton its odds were aweful. so fun. that night we went to the GREENHOUSE party *yes nyc greenhouse* that was thrown at prime in downtown louisville (after an amazing fun dinner with dad and company). The guys running it were all nyc people it was so fun! Michael Phelps came to his table up in the VIP, where we were, and then asked to be moved!!! to the common section!! SO HE COULD GET ATTENTION---SUCH A MEDIA WHORE. Then joey fatone was fat. Then, we got wasted.

after a long sunday of recovery and the best catch up night sunday night with my best friends ever (They showed mike pics of me...it was bad) we got back late last night.

Im so lucky to have such fun family and to be a part of this tradition, born and raised, super lucky.

back to reality. We have some VERY exciting big projects coming up that involve bravo tv so stay posted.

mike starts promoting one oak this week too.

THANKS

THANKS to lindsay, i will be (besides the hamptons) here all summer at the soho house, like i was today:

This weekend

2009-04-26T22:49:00.000-07:00

was a-mazing. Ok first off we started with mr west on friday with cj. we go there all the time but this week, CJ had to open the table which meant we went early and started the bottle so it wasnt packed and we had prime table spot. and yea, alex douche bag came with his bimbo models but still we had a blast with cj and co. The Dj was the dude from eldridge who i know through my friend ralph and he is the best dj in nyc so that was fun. Then saturday I filmed my bitch erica for my 30 sec commercial for my midterm at school. IN HD. Super fun. After we were done shooting we went to Cjs where they were all fucked up, then sat outside at bennys for margaritas and mexican. PErfect Saturday. Today, went to the PARK with my best freaking friends (minus ellen she was on the bus) gabi erica ant val ryan jessie mikealis--whoever could reach us because there is NO (i mean NO) service in sheeps meadow when it's packed like that. How fucking gorgeous is nyc right now? EVeryones out and about and in their summer time wear---love it. Then, tonight we went with jesse to la esquina which i hadnt been to in ages. whats funny about la esquina is everything. first off-the upstairs is a CORNER cafe (With like a window and hot dogs and stuff) then you enter and in the back theres a bouncer, if you get in, you go downstairs through the kitchen to the bar so legit. Anywho, free drinks there then went to GOLD BAR with gabi. Ok, sundays at goldbar--GOOD LUCK. def the hardest door in nyc- what a pain. BUt we got in with gabs, people watched for a bit, and now we are home snuggling.

i love nyc in the spring. everybody feels good and is outside. the parks are crazy the streets are crazy you DONT have to wear a fucking coat FOR once!!

it rules.

xx

ky derby this weekend to cover the black tie galas for in touch and also see my childhood friends (basically my family)....and sit track side with my dad. bamboozle--yeah right haha

last night

2009-04-24T14:18:00.000-07:00

When the StankyLeG came on, I thought the place was gunna burn down. then you have me, jess, ellen, jeff, steven and mikealis like sitting there chain smoking hooka amongst the dance floor masacre of big asses. ELlen and i joined in though don't worry....and between the hole in her crotch and our jazz hands---we fully dominated. the boys played great. thank god its the weekend. shooting my High Def project tomorrow--spending the weekend outside and out.

wed night debacle

2009-04-23T09:45:00.000-07:00

I really shouldnt party that hard on Wednesday nights. First off---Can I just make an announcement? We were officially the first people in at least 5 years to see lil john out in public. HAHA. He was sitting at the table near us at one oak last night. Someone should tell him that just because he hasnt been out of his house in 5 years doesn't mean he can dress like 2003. SAME dude---dreds, hat, oakleys--hillarious. First of all, i started drinking at 8 pm at an OPen Bar coutoure event my bitch Lindsay Luv was spinning at. It was at the Thompson hotel and it had the sickest view of NYC it was gorgeous. I ran into my friend Sasha who does PR for fingerprint and we got to drinking adn talking, and drinking some more. I also ran into my friend Lauren there who thought that the "man" posted in front of the clock on bowery was a real human--wow. Anywho, Alasandria Ambrosia (even her name is pretty) was there smoking cigarettes like a fucking champ ( i was like thats how she stays so fucking skinny). Shes nice i talked to her and got a good NYC summer time quote for IN Touch from her. Then we went to Greenhouse with Lindsay (SO over gh) and it was a heinekein private party in the basement so i drank some free beers and ran into DAN my old friend who manages my friend rapper donnis, After moving UPstairs to watch lindsay not dj, we peaced out and went to gold bar (holy shit im out of breath thinking about all these places). LOVE gold bar...Gabi's party there is getting good. Stayed, left. ONE OAK. Bin at the door fucking loves Mikealis and was like "THEY'RE GOOD!!" from across the ropes i was like ---um yes please. Then i was reunited with my darling friend CJ who i missed while gone and my new friends maria and erica and freaking terrick talked to mike about a possible promoting deal at a super secret new club opening--standby for details. Then we saw lil john and i was so drunk at this point i was running around yelling "WHAT?! YEAHHH". Then, I dont remember our cab ride home but i do know gabi was in the vehicle with us and smoked with mike--cant tell u what we talked about....then i didnt wake up for school----I LOVE NYC.

ps---Vitamin water 10-----A watered down version of the original...i guess that's the point though.

anywho, mike and bagg boy have a show tonight at some hookah bar, NO drinks for me.

back in ny

2009-04-22T10:51:00.000-07:00

WE still have one full day and night left bUT so far it's been pretty great. I've been to la a million times, i actually lived here in the month if august and during that time i made some of the best friends ive ever had. Especially tommy, he's pretty much my brother. Anyways, this was my best friend steven and boyfriend mikealis's first time in LA so I had to make it good!! We landed at 1200 LA time and Lisa (my girl we are staying with) picked us up and we raced to ecco so i could see them before last call. last call in la is SO early, 130!! So it was like the reunion of the century. Yesterday we shopped on melrose and ate lunch and did like routine stuff we use to do in summer here in la. then we played on lisa's roof top! video below. Last night mike and steven had a show in la---they rocked it. Today they had a sick photo shoot at tommy's house and tomorrow they are recording at tommys and then going to les deux before we come back to nyc. I always miss nyc so much when im in la haha. But anyways---love it here---love my friends here and love the opportunities and lifestyle..

Saturday in LA

2009-04-13T12:47:00.000-07:00

MIkealis and Steven are playing a show and DJing a full set on saturday here at this party:

the hudson terrace

2009-04-12T11:09:00.000-07:00

well mike steven and roman played to a HUGE Crowd last night there. They played amazing. The problem was the club. They didn't have a sound guy and the dj was born without the right side of his brain so all he knows how to do is press play on his ipod and smoke cigarettes. So, Roman had to try to get the mics to work all night. They finally went on at 2 am and unfortunately people couldn't hear them in the back. Whatever though, it was still great. Hudson Terrace is probably the worst club in America. It's gorgeous and has awesome potential but the people that work there are meaner than the KKK and really fucking stupid.

happy easter.

LA FRIDAY

2009-04-11T11:31:00.001-07:00

2009-04-09T11:39:00.001-07:00

WE'RE BACK ON THE BLOCK. Flew into nyc VERY early Tuesday morning. Happy to be home. It's sorta looking like we might see spring some day here in Ny. ANYWHO, our best friend Steven Baggs played a sold out show with his band the constant on Tuesday night. We were so happy for him, it was a big show and a big night for him. He sings on all the Mikealis tracks but anyways very proud of him. Went to his after party at Gay-k, couldn't breath in the sea of sweaty scene kids, had to leave and go to Greenhouse. but still we are so proud of him and before that I went to dinner with my best friends of life (carolyn ellen amanda jessy holly mikealis) and i missed the shit out of them while i was gone so it was good. OK so last night, we went out with our besty of life CJ and it was like the dorkiest reunion I was so happy to see him because we had been gone so long! Strike one-Mikealis was taking shots of Patron Cafe with Cj. That's like the milky liquor you put in coffee, not for shooting. Went to ONE OAK, sat in Vip, drank alot. I scared the shit out of some girl who is dieing to move to nyc and be a journalist for like a tabloid or fashion mag. Shes going to go to columbia this year and I was like um dont waste your money they dont care if you went there. She was scared. Then Timberland was coming to One Oak to sit at our table seriously mike and him needed to chat but my other best friend of life was djing a HUGE gig at Greenhouse so I HAD to get there, sorry timb. So we peaced and went to green house and it was PACKEDDDD because L M F A-Suck my balls O was playing there and so was the love of our lives one of my favorite rappers of life Kid Cudi!! That was a surprise though. Well, we missed lmfao but Barry the owner of GH is a dear friend of mine and told me that THERE WERE CRICKETS!! HAHAHAHAH no one clapped apparently they just wanted cudi to come on haha. Those guys are sooooo gay seriously talentless losers. Anywho, Lindsay KILLED it. She got to play THREE sets!!! In the basement too, that's the best part of the club. she killed it, mad proud of her. Um So here's the funny part. We some how got home and Jersey got herself home in her car (bad plan probably) and we pass out. Apparently in my slumber, Mikealis pukes all night. I told him not to shoot that Patron Cafe. Cuz that, champagne, and grey goose doesn't mix ewww poor mikey.

Mikealis has big show at HUDSON TERRACE With Steven and Electro point on Saturday Night COME.

Stay Tuned for Some big news regarding our Hamptons summer party and also Mikealis and a special new track.

Jordan Koko flys in today.

Love

shitty shitty shitty fucking music

2009-04-02T14:26:00.000-07:00

im going to rip my hair out and die. music right now is so shitty, these stupid talentless scene kids are running the earth and i dont fucking get it. Three ugly scene girls with high pitched voices and bad style who think they can rap are blowing up---I DONT GET IT. Lmfablow-I DONT GET IT. They arent cool.

kill me now, take me off the earth so i dont have to live in an era dominated by these morons.

vacay

2009-04-01T10:14:00.000-07:00

is relaxing...pool side...beach side...but my sister had a "banger" and it went up in flames. Way too many kids came and were outside by the pool playing beer pong super loudly and we live on a golf course. Here's the thing I dont get about kids. At 23, Im not trying to have a party that will destroy my house. So what is it about kids that makes them so excited when their parents are out of town to have parties they KNOW will destroy their houses? i dont get it. I had to start playing the old woman roll around 1 am coming out to scream "EVERYONE GO HOME" once every 10 minutes. Finally as we thought it was dieing down, trying to watch a movie in the master bedroom, we hear "MOther FUcker Ill Fuck you UP homie Dont PLay that Shit Nigga WHATTT"......and im thinking "oh. FUCK" So i jump out of bed and SPRINT to the foyer in time to see my worst nightmare. 70 kids in the foyer of my house holding back like 4 dude bros in jerseys who are trying to kill each other. SO i start SCREAMING GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU FUCKERS ILL CALL THE COPS GO GO GOG OG. Meanwhile in my head i knew, if the cops come, MIKE AND I are going to jail...not them, they are like all barely 17. So they take it to the front yard and get into a huge brawl and all these girls are screaming like omg stop stop and im like well i know the cops are coming, im way too old for this fucking shit. i live in manhattan, this is so immature and fucking gay house parties are for children...im all mad. so im like haley turn off all lights in house and lock front door so if cops come maybe they wont think its our house (despite all the cars in our driveway). not sure how we got so lucky but cops never came.....and maid came next morning and cleaned so mommy will never know when she gets hme tonight but i still am so mad at my sister.

not so nyc glam when im home...but still funny.

last night

2009-03-28T18:18:00.000-07:00

mikealis went on a blunt ride in star island.

sleep over 09

2009-03-28T08:05:00.000-07:00

mikealis, me in the middle, lindsay luv on the side of me, austin the poodle at our feet on one big couch in a high rise in miami at michael cohens last night. Lindsay has a BUG BITE attack, her feet are COVERED in bites and so are her legs and shes in total misery so im taking her to the ocean to let the salt water fix it. i love it here. the view from our place is so amazing. mikealis had a woman named "dragon slayer" 47 years old message him on myspace this morning saying "you're my favorite next to eminem and kid rock". mondrian pool for a minute before we head home to tampa to see my mom. it's time. bye south beach....

wow.

xo

today

2009-03-27T15:54:00.000-07:00

spent the day at the mondrian hotel pool with lindsay luv, michael, mikealis and gregory from mercedes. Asked to be on a travel channel show about the mondrian and "extreme south beach" so of course we got really super extreme in the pool and pretended like we were staying there for purposes of the show. we looked like huge tools, airs in june.
loving life.

Paris Hilton is an idiot-MIAMI

2009-03-27T07:39:00.001-07:00

getting thrown out of clubs at her age. so retarded.

Anyways, yesterday was amazing we woke up and had brunch in the gorgeous weather and then i went and scooped up lindsay luv my bitch. We went to the fountainbleu for this pool party for bacardi that i thought was going to be an open party, um no. I get there, and there's like a million kids trying to get in and a door bla bla bla. So i walked up the pr girl and was like HI IM MEREDITH FROM IN TOUCH and naturally she was like "OMG michaels already here bla bla bla heres 3 wristbands" i was like thats what i thought bitch. Then she escorted us to the bacardi cocktail bar where they were making custom cocktails for the vip. Ok first of all it's a huge pool and a dj booth and the line up is retarded. Jazzy Jeff, Diplo, A Trak, Kid Sister, Dj Am, Chromeo, etc. were ALL djing. Insane. So anyways the cocktail bar was the funniest shit ive ever seen. The fabulous gay spanish man has devoted his life to making cocktails for bacardi. So he's asking us our signs, names, vacation spots, like life stories, what happened when we were five....all in order to create ONE drink catered to us that takes 43 minutes. Im like dieing laughing like are you serious? throw some vodka on the rocks baby im outtie. Anywho I've never in my LIFE ever seen such crazy miami people. First off, craziest dressed drunk wild people alive. House music is their life. This one girl, no words can express, she somehow got her way into the vip artist deck where we were and lindsays like OMG DONT RUB ON ME....she had herpes you could visually see, not kidding. here's a photo:

so another amazing part of the pool party was the connects mike made. Im pretty sure he's playing this dude jeff's pool party in la for coachella and then going to columbia to play a show? haha it's been crazy. So then I was like tired cuz i can't do day drinking and be like cohesive. Went to heathrow to see lindsay dj then went to ralleigh hotel rooftop for belvedere open bar party. just woke up, gorgeous. stand by....

miami Day 1

2009-03-26T06:18:00.000-07:00

first of all, courtesy of my dear friend michael cohen, here's the view from where we are staying:

Ok so night one, hilarious. First of all, it took us forever to get here. we flew from nyc to tampa then drove from tampa to miami. We get to Miami at 10, Im suppose to be on a red carpet at the Fountainbleu at 830, so we got ready in 10 minutes and got a cab. I missed the carpet but we got to Fountainbleu and got into the party, it was Sony Ericson's kick off tournament for the tennis tournament so the party was retarded. The PR girls were up my ass to interview all their clients so I did even though NO one has seen Bring It On since they were ten and no one cares what they are doing now but I talked to them to make people happy. They tried to convince me they were doing all these super important new projects. uh huh, yeah. This girl spilt a glass of Veu Cliquot on Mike's lap. He was mad. We drank all this stuff at some random table while Wyclef performed all his hits it was rad. The Liv night club at Fountainbleu is mad famous and GORGEOUS. So after that party was over, LMFAO was moving in for their cd release party, UM BYE. So we left and went to Ganesvoort to the rooftop and whos' doing the insanely packed door?? CRAIG FROM ONE!!! So funny he's like "NYC OMG COME IN!! OMG" so that was easy. Then we went to the roof (We were meeting Lindsay Luv) and it was a NYC reunion. AOKI was djing the rooftop (that was kinda ill) because it was like right on the beach rooftop and theres Aoki spinning some small pool party at 1 am. So it was like a NYC party. EVERYONE we ran into was nyc. So we ended up rolling around the rest of the night with Bronques, Lindsay, like all nyc party mad funny. So we went to some other club in the basement of gans but i was drunk and tired so i was like um lets go sleep so we went back to michaels and talked to Jessica till i fell asleep. Mike made mad connections last night with all these dj's...and the funniest part was, THESE DUDES HAD SEEN GLOWSTICKS!!! They were like oh shit yea we saw Glowsticks and Im like "WHO ARE YOU AWESOME LETS PARTY".... ps- our dear friend michael the guy who we are staying with who i spent all of super bowl with is going to be staring in this HILARIOUS reality show called miami social about how fabulous of a gossip artist he is in june. watch it on bravo, we are watching the footage now its so funny.

so today we are going to pool parties at the fountainbleu, gansevoort roof top, and brunch and pool party with chromeo performing and techno and drinking and my cute see through american apparel t shirt dress

bye

<3 mk

miami

2009-03-24T17:33:00.000-07:00

ok so we leave in the morning. we have a million plans, non of which im completely sure we will do BUT I do know I will 100% for sure be at the fountainbleu tomorrow night covering this pharrel party for in touch so find us there. Mikealis bought reallllly short american apparel shorts, his legs are very white. shouldn't be hard to spot us. We will be staying on collins with the fabulous Michael Cohen from In Touch.

Im pathetically going to miss the following people in no order: Jessica Chase (no seriously though), Ellen "Jazz Hands" Choquette, Carolyn "I quit smoking" Doolittle, CJ "I don't need glasses but I wear them anyways" Davidson, Steven "I'm a republican in a relationship with a man" Baggs, and Gabi awesome bitch Richmond.

I've been spending way too much time with those people lately. After miami, we are going to my parent's house in tampa to RELAX. 10 days bye.

ok bye, will blog from South Beach

mk

A picture I just took of Mikealis in his new shorts:

wow

2009-03-23T17:44:00.001-07:00

so my brother jordan is coming out to nyc this summer for audio school. he makes beats and stuff. anywho he's getting a talkbox which made me start youtubing talkbox videos. ok here's one that really got me.

hey south beach, ready? me too....

Sunday

2009-03-22T11:01:00.000-07:00

Nothing to report on for last night. Didnt wanna go to one oak, or greenhouse or anywhere because we couldn't find a fucking cab. FUCK saturdays seriously how miserable. So after waiting for a cab for like too long, we walked to CJ's and watched East Bound and Down which was probably the best thing we could have done last night.

Miami wed! Got a million errands to run. We have ALL our connects lined up though so it's going to be amazing.

Also, just fyi, Mikealis just randomly wrote Perez Hilton an email about checking out his music...AND PEREZ WROTE BACK ASKING FOR LINKS!!!!

WHAT HE RULES.

REUNION

2009-03-21T18:29:00.000-07:00

I spent a month, almost 5 weeks, in LA this past summer on a soul searching journey which turned out to be a crazy non stop party where i met one of my best friends in the world. SO, since my new best friend Lisa lives there (she does PR), and my other best friend JEssica is going for Coachella, and MIke's never been, and I miss Tommy, I decided we are going. Reunion of the century. april.

in the mean time, as far as Miami next weekend is concerned, we have every connect imaginable lined up. Im so excited to go then go home to tampa after and just RELAX and eat alot. ps-one word-pharell. stand by for details.

BYE.
one oak tonight, Im tired. we should stay in.

psych.

mr west and pizza

2009-03-21T10:15:00.000-07:00

i need to STOP EATING when Im wasted. It's like I know deep down I dont wanna eat pizza when Im wasted at 5 am but we do it anyways. Anyways, CJ passed his 63 series test which basically licenses him to sell anything he wants in the financial world. He's a genius, so we went out to celebrate with him (I feel like every weeks a celebration but this was special). So we pregamed at CJ's and talked about how when mikealis is famous we are ONLY pulling up to clubs in Richshaws, and drank alot, and went to Mr. West. The best Friday spot...that I talk about all the time. IT was a debacle from then on. Ellen and I were on top of some couch at West dancing our asses off while CJ just HANDED drinks up. Im not going to slander that CIty kid this week but he of course was there next to us in some douchey ass hat. Mikealis's keyboard player and his girl came which was hilarious because mike got to a whole new level of rowdy at that point. As is typical of me, 4 am wasn't enough. I was smashed and insisted on going to Citrine with my besty Gabby and CJ. We got there and I dont really remember how long we stayed but I know it wasn't long before I started complaining of hunger as though I hadn't eaten in days or at CAFETERIA hours earlier. Today I feel like shit. Im not going to take ONE sip of alcahol until Im in MIAMI (bitch) on Wed- Saturday. Speaking of Miami, HOLLLERR at us, we will be staying at hotel Cohen and living it up. Did I mention the party im working on Wed night for In touch is featuring Pharrel? Just kill me now. Miami I love you. Now we are off to williamsburg to brunch with my red headed best friend ellen and to do some shopping. God don't make me put on a bakini blaaaa bye

OK

2009-03-20T00:36:00.000-07:00

i was on a mission tonight. I knew i wanted to hit pretty much EVERY major hot spot in manhattan. ok so although we couldn't physically do that, we did manage to hit 4 of them. me jess and mikealis went to ONE, than MR. WEST, than CITRINE, than finished the night at ELDRIDGE. First off, the owner of Eldridge, Matt, allowed me to film my music video there (vimeo.com/3738376). For those of you who dont know about eldridge, google it. It's the most underground legit club in nyc. When he opened it, he gave out laser engraved glass cards to people who could get in. Kanye's been seen there , etc. LISA (my besty in la) was the connection between me and matt and Matt was more than willing to let me film there. SO lucky. Anyways, went there tonight it was amazing. Um, also hit up Mr. West which is ALWAYS a favorite of mine. amazing music. Citrine is this new NYC hotspot that has ridiculous clientele BUT i have to say this, the decor, under par. If you go to GOLDBAR or TENJUNE or even MARQUEE, you can see that they spent time on the interior. Citrine surprises me because for a hotspot, a top10 nyc club, the decor is bad. its ugly, yet the people there are legit. After dancing on top a couch there for a bit, I got free drinks (typical) and peaced out. It's still cold in nyc. I thought it was leather jacket and skirt weather but it's not. It's NOT spring yet. Thank god we are heading down south to MIAMI and TAMPA next week because it's too cold in NYC. Things are SO amazing for Mikealis and I right now....please check out our video....vimeo.com/3738376. also, coachella. i guess we are coming? tommy coops-reunion.

and give feedback..

Porn,Beards, and Jazz Hands

2009-03-15T09:50:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn. Typically I cant stand it but last night was different. First of all, it was the best group ever, literally my best friends from NYC and some even that I knew in Tampa (my best friend since i was 18, Tony) were there. Everyone came out to Public Assembly for the beard and mustache party, I mean, Mikealis's show.... See, it was a burning angels porn dvd release party in one room, and the beard and mustache competition in the other. Im not kidding:

So anyways, NBC was there literally interviewing people on the news and there were men there that had been growing their beards literally for 50 years it was HILARIOUS. SO Mikealis rocked it in the back room we were all WASTED (I left my id and credit card at the bar) and it was amazing. There were AandR people there scouting (cross your fingers) and did I mention my best freaking friends in the world (Ellen, Jessica, Carolyn, Tony, Greg, Ryan, Rob, Haley Koko, Steven Baggs, ETC) were all there? So brooklyn, eh, not so bad I guess. I of course still prefer my glamourous Manhattan life but house parties and rooftops (We went to some big house party with a roof deck after the show) are actually really cool and very specific to brooklyn I think. Speaking of glamourous, I was a sloppy mess last night. I climbed out a window onto a roof deck in a dress and heels. No sleep till Brooklyn?

AWESOME

LAST NIGHT, we couldn't get a cab and we were with CJ and he was running late to his own table so....we...took...THIS to Mr west:

We pulled up and got out and it made skipping everyone in line about ten times funnier than normal. ps, as per my sunday rant about the homos (no offense) from 'the city' reality show, last night, the same one, hit on my 17, yes 17, year old sister. He gave her a glass of moet like she was impressed or something. loser.

Anywho, come out to mikealis's show tonight!!! porn.

Sushi n Sake

2009-03-11T15:16:00.000-07:00

Last night we went out for dinner at this nice sushi spot downtown..."quietly" took sake bombs and got wasted; idk why the waiter was so intent on us not getting crazy. After that we went to STK && got some more drinks. It was a pretty chill fun night. I kind of think getting drunk at restaurants is more fun then clubs? Maybe this is the hpt coming out of me. We deff dont have resturants like this back in VA though.

Mikealis's Birthday, TheOak, and deuche bags.

2009-03-08T13:15:00.001-07:00

Mikealis turned 24 yesterday. We spent the morning flying back from Virginia Beach (where we were visiting his parents) to NYC. Got ready bangin' Stunnaman, Jess came over (thanks for the cupcakes boo) and a bunch of us including Carolyn Doolittle (fashionista who will soon contribute to the blog) went to dinner in the east village, sushi and sake. I hate the East Village, every time I walk down the street I get stopped by some gross squatter punk kids who haven't showered since 'Nam. So after a bottle of champagne, four kirin lights, and 7 rolls, we headed to union square to our boy CJ's place. Smoked and drank vodka, watched this new show East Bound and Down (HBO, watch it) and headed to the OAK. 1 Oak on a Saturday is a pain in the fucking ass. EVERYWHERE in NYC sucks on Saturdays (stayed tuned for the new sat party coming soon courtesy of us). I'd say the Oak is like the ONE place that isn't bridge and tunnel on a Saturday. So Bin gave CJ his "Im so annoyed" look and opened the ropes and we got dirty looks from every one waiting and went inside, typical.

Ok I have to re iterate something. You are not cool because you were on "The City". That show is for little tweens and teeny bopper kids who like metro station. Seriously, no one watches your show that's actually intelligent. Every time I sit at your table, I want to choke you. Your "clique" of model bitches you roll with are mediocre at best and compared to the girls your partners bring out (cough cough CJ)--they aint shit. You are not "king of the oak" so button up your shirt, don't wear scarfs on top of t shirts (indoors) and please stop acting like you are straight, because we all know you aren't.

On a lighter note, DJ CASSIDY made a special guest appearance at the 1 Oak last night. Ok this man is really a big deal. First off, I worked his birthday party back in July for In Touch and it was INSANE. His friends are all A listers and the majority of them hire him to spin their personal events. He's mad talented and really respected in the music industry it was so cool seeing him spin at a small place like 1 oak. Everyone was totally feeling it and he catered to every type of person in there. It was awesome.

Mikealis, happy birthday, we love you.

WMC and Coachella is next up for us this month.

Dont forget to come to Mikealis's show Sat at public assembly in Williamsburg.
