Inauguration Weekend!!!! Whooot!!!

Yess we cannnn!!! I say i say, yesss weee cannn!!!


The 44th President of the United States is Barack Obama!!! ...and im live and in DC for all the action.

So this year i didnt really think that i was going to participate in all of the action going on. However, with this weekend being SUCH a historical moment and time in history, HOW CAN I?!! The Hip Hop Inaugural Ball went down in DC hosted by Russell Simmons and it was indeed awesome. I bumped elbows with TI, tried to understand a joke by none other than Dick Gregory, chatted about an ignorant guest with Fonzworth Bentley, and took fliks & shared a toast with those doing the most....

and i loved every minute of it.

Let me just say that BJ Coleman is the greatest latest lovebug ever! Fabulous just cant define....

So the recap:

Diana (my model friend) and I met up around 6ish to hit up this party; as we were invited by Kenny Flanagan of KAS Collections and scheduled to arrive by 7pm.

My dress was provided by KAS Collections Inc. by the way! Got there in time...after ridiculous traffic....
Out of towners like THISSS thought it was cute to drive into intersections and fukk up the flow of traffic!!!! Thank God i wasnt driving!

The ceremony started with a speech from a guy that works for Obama.... kicking myself cuz i cant remember his name. However, i recorded the speech.. damn video wont load..sorry about that.


NONETHELESS....


I felt so inspired... Well to make a long story longer.. TI, MC Lyte, LL Cool J, Jeezy, & Bow Wow all received awards for being humanitarians of Hip Hop awards. That was awesome... after the ceremony we danced, toasted and roasted amongst the stars. Next stop... after partyin at the Infamous LOVE nightclub. My girl Fantasia was there to celebrate her Bday! Happy Birthday Fantasia!!!
So its approaching 3am so we had to make moves... valet' parking? yes please. Entrance fee? no thanks. VIP? duh!! and then the night was on....




We had a blast.... love.
