Flygirl rolecall

I swear to you, there ain’t nothing like partying with Torontofresh. Real talk. It’s never a dull moment.

This past Friday I attended the “Photogenic” party for a bit and then “Summerbody Fit” (granted). The rain was tsunami-ish, it was absoultely ri-damn-diculous. I was expecting so much more from the last Friday in August but I should’ve known better. Thank God, I brought my umbrella with me or else I would have been down and out. The music was good at Photogenic but Summerbody Fit the music was POPPIN! Oh man, the guy/girl battles were hilarious! I haven’t been in a club and heard “No Scrubs” playing and the women SCREAMING the words at the fellas, only for “No Pigeons” to come in lol. Then “Bills, Bills, Bills” followed by “Chickenhead”, clever stuff. The MJ Tribute (Happy Birthday MJ!) followed by the Aaliyah set at the end (R.I.P Babygirl) was live. Goodtimes as usual.

 

*To my ladies I was rolling with, you all looked hella fly*

That Summerbody fit

Good evening peoples… actually good night, sorry.

 

If you didnt know I love to party, especially a good party with good people. Summers almost over, however that doesnt mean you cannot party like its here to stay. This Friday August 28th,2009 where you should be is at Dazzling Lounge for the “Summerbody Fit” Party.

Here are the Cliffs notes for you quick readers:

“Summerbody Fit”

Dazzling Lounge, 291 King St W

$10

DJ Rych Kidd and DJ LRS

Dress Code: Fashionable.  No pajama pants, no pants hanging down to your knees, no Uggs, no dirty kicks. None of that foolishness.

 

Come out and party with me and my homeslices, don’t worry even if you’re missing the “fit” from the Summerbody everyone is still welcome lol.

 

There you have it

 

Indoor BBQ

I love summertime.

The BBQ’s, the people, the music, the food, the beautiful people, the food, the sexy people on their game. Shoot let me stop.

Yesterday, I went to a BBQ  hosted by Blake, Marvin and Tristan. It was a good time. Alot of jokes, a whole lot of jokes. I met some cool new people, thanks for the jokes.  Only took a couple of pics for some reason. Too bad the weather SUCKED, so it was more of an indoor thing but it was still cool.

 

It’s it’s it’s the GUMBY

… just in case you never know!

 

As I mentioned before on Thursday night I attended the Blake Carrington show at the Drake Hotel with the rest of Torontofresh. The show started late since people do not know how to show up on time *tsk tsk*.  The show started with KJ and again he did the damn thing. If you still haven’t seen KJ perform, he’s the artist that hits the stage and has a such a cool confidence. The music is already hot but when he performs it, you feel it that much more. KJ will be performing July 18th @ Rollys Garage located at 124 Ossington Ave. Check him out!

 

….” lights camera action welcome to my movie, Blake Carrington is a smooth oppurtunity”.

Oh Blake, what more can I say that I haven’t already said. If you didn’t know, Blake will be heading off to LA for a little bit to be on his grind. This show was a slap in your mouth telling everyone “Don’t Sleep on me”. Word.  Blake did his thing as usual but tonight was so different. At times I stood there just staring up at him with a smile on my face. I had a strong sense of pride and admiration for him. It’s a beautiful thing when you know that someone you care about is on the verge of achieving their hopes and dreams. The set was amazing, he brought out Shane Tone for another smash performance of “Summerbody Fit” and the crowd went nuts. There was alot of family values as well as he also brought out his brother Keegan Da’niro (hey baby lol) and his DAD (De Dot) to perform. The love between Blake and Keegan and Blake and his father was so apparent. Kodak moments indeed.

The final portion of the show was quite nostalgic as the former members of BFDM (Brothers from Different Mothers) as well as some fellow artists got up on stage to show Blake some love and give him kind words. This lead into an encore performance of “Summerbody Fit” and then Blake spit a ridiculous freestyle.  That concluded the whole show, because really how could you follow up anything after that?

 *I have about 200 pictures from this event so I may update some each day, we’ll see how I feel*

Change Clothes with the Fresh Family

Hola mi amigos/amigas,

 

How’s everybody doing? I’m doing oh so lovely, there is a “Sister, Sister” marathon on tv and it’s bringing back memories.  Do you all remember just how corny this show was? Woww.

Last night, myself and the Torontofresh family went out to the Fitting Room party at Dazzling Lounge.  Owwwweeeee it was a good party. The vibe was nice, DJ LRS & DJ Rych Kidd put it down. When I say put it down, I mean we were partying to Daft Punk, Modjo, Biggie, Destra, Machel, DJ Class, Serani and of course MJ. There was a little bit of everything for everybody. Definitely my kind of party.  Blake Carrington and Ron D held it down on the mic with minor distractions from groupie love. Good times for all!

I have to shoutout Miss Tameka Musiq(http://t-ismusiq.blogspot.com) that celebrated her birthday last night in the club. Hope you had fun mama.

The night was already live enough, then Shane Tone and Blake Carrington decided to perform their hit “Summerbody Fit“. Oh man, it was a wrap… except for one thing.

Soooo, Blake and Shane are from the Torontofresh camp so naturally we had to be at the front wildin out to the song right? If you see me vibing with my girls and we’re clearly doing our own thing do you think it’s appropriate to come and grab me up when I do not know you from Bob on the street? *Kiss teeth* So we’re dancing to the song, singing at the top of our lungs when some 5 foot nothing dude comes grabbing me up. He did it one time and I turned around and said “no thanks”  and I continued dancing. Instance number 2 he came a little more aggressive grabbing me and trying to wine up on me (by wine up I mean thrust like a dog humping a leg). Errrrrkssssssssss did I not just say “no thank you”, what are you slow?! At this point I am visibly annoyed because he’s throwing off my vibe with the song and downing my cheery mood. Don’t you think by the 2nd ‘no’ he would have realized I wasn’t having it? Apparently NOPE, because homeboy came back for a 3rd time grabbing me up. What did Neeks do you ask? The first thing that came to my mind, I pushed him against the Dj booth.  He looked at me as if I was on some kind of meth and his boy quickly came and said “Hey hey, no pushing” and I said “Tell your boy to stop grabbing me” as the little gremlin looked on as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. (Ron thank you for stepping in at this point♥). Seriously what comes over peoples minds? Do they temporarily lose it? Amnesia? What is it? I have no issues with people trying to dance with me, but there’s always a right way and a wrong way. Do not approach me and grab me up as if I’m property to you, it’s not a good look. Rant over.

 

Conclusion, if you weren’t there you missed out. I didn’t take many pics due to, I don’t know… the fun I was having I guess.

Meetings and More

Tuesday afternoon some of the members of Torontofresh (<-more on that later) had a meeting to discuss business.

After the meeting we met up with Blake and Mr Owen Lee aka O’Sound (soooo nice seeing you friend). If you aren’t acquainted with O’Sounds voice, you are missing out. His voice is beautiful, his range is ridiculous.  Man oh man. Anyway moving along, that night was the shooting of their sequel to “Gimme my Yeezy’s”. The song title is ”Amazing” as they FINALLY achieved their goal in acquiring a pair of those shoes. For those that don’t know “Yeezy’s” are Kanye Wests shoe creation for Nike.

I didn’t take many pics but here are some from that night.

Get Excited!

Morning everyone,

I’m starting to get real excited for different reasons. To name a few, THE WEATHER! It’s finally starting to get hot, that’s all I’ve been waiting for. If you know me, you should know that I live for the hot weather. Short shorts, short skirts, short dresses… you get the point. It’s so much easier to get dressed in the summer time, it takes way less thought and planning. Also there are so many more activities that can be done in the summer, going to the Lakeshore or the beach, going to the Zoo, just going places to chill out and take pictures. The possibilites are endless. I’m hoping the weatherman(woman) isn’t fooling me AGAIN. My heart can’t take anymore of that crap.

 

Next reason I’m excited is for TRANSFORMERS (robots in disguise). If you haven’t guessed by now, I loveddddd the first one. Great action, great graphics, funny as hell, nostalgic and Shia LeBouf is so cute. This sequel looks even crazier than the first, which is saying alot. Watching the commercial makes me clap my hands, needless to say I’m amped. 

 

On Friday me and my friends are hitting up the Shuffle party.  I’ve been once before and it was a really good time, I suggest all of you attend. The music is somewhat random (like an iPod Shuffle) so the mixes aren’t predicatable at all. It’s at the Revival (somewhere on College St, sorry I can’t remember the exact address). Goodtimes indeed.

 

I was just reminded over the weekend that RIBFEST is coming up  (how I forgot, I have no idea!). This year it is from June 26th-July 1st at Centennial Park. I heart food, therefore I must be in attendance for at least one of these days. Mmmmmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Lastly, Friday July 3rd is the FITTING ROOM 2@ Dazzling Lounge. The first one was a good time, so I don’t doubt the 2nd one will be. It’s hosted by Blake Carrington and spinning is DJ Lissa Monet and DJ LRS (they held it down at the last one). Come out and do your little 2 step/stanky leg/pose against the wall whatever your thing is at the club, just come out and do it!

 

I hope to see you all at some of these events.

What a Night!

In continuation of my last post, this is how the night played out.  Upon leaving Curtis’ performance we headed downtown to meet up with Michelle and then head down to the other show. 

 

This time we took in performances by Blake Carrington, Daniel Daley and KJ. Fabness indeed. This show had more of an intimate vibe which was great, all the performers had a good time interacting with their audience. The show started off with KJ, who again killed it. If you guys still haven’t caught one of his shows, you’re still slipping.

 

 

 

Next out the gate was R&B Crooner, Daniel Daley. He started off his set by singing his hit single “Girlfriend”, then had a heart to heart talk with the ladies before serenading with his song “Wanna be  Loved”.  After slowing it down with “Body Smile”, Daniel laughed and joked while imitating John Legend and doing a snippet of some Boyz II Men (hotttttt).  The crowd then began to chant ”…..4 play, 4 play, 4 play”, which lead to an impromptu performance with Ron D .  With that kind of love how could you deny such an eager crowd? That song concluded Daniels set.

By this point the crowd was already amped when Blake Carrington was called out to the stage. I’ll keep it short and sweet with this one, Blake did not disappoint. He kept us all moving, shaking and jumping. The man knows how to work the crowd. When Shane Tone came out to perform the banger “Summer body fit” it was already a wrap (look out for the dance coming soon).  The crowd was so live, it was ridiculous! Another great performance to add to Blakes already long list.

If the performances weren’t good enough, the night ended with a crazy jam. DJ James Redi and DJ Makem held-it-down! Oh my. We heard the likes of The Pointer Sisters, Diana Ross, DJ Class, Stevie Wonder, Daft Punk, Jay-Z, Curtis Blow, etc. Everybody just had a good ol’ time dancing the night away.

Another successful night in my books.

 

Shoutouts to: Tameka (I’m glad you took the time to come out mama, even though you missed the actual performances), Jesse (wuddup Blackie lol lol), Princess (again clothes are dope! Look out for her line y’all, it’s called “Alchemus”), Curtis (I’m shouting you out again, just cause you’re live lol).

It’s obvious I have to show love for Asia Fiasco, Mego aka the Cheetah Print Don, Willy T, Shane Tone and definitely not least Michelle. Y’all held me down for the night.

Check out the pics:

 

Check back in with me, because I have PLENTY of video’s from this night!
