New Year's Eve 2008

The city of Houston provided lots of hot spots to celebrate the closing of the year 2008. Some of us choose to stay at home and chillax, some preferred to fellowship in church. However you decided to celebrate the past year and welcome the new year was entirely up to you. Some of us choose a lil of all three... Here's a peek Thanks to Nikki, Ramona, & Althea of what Red Cat Jazz Cafe had to offer... From what I hear Sexy, Sophisticated & Smooth sums up the scene.

BILAL @REDCAT

Redcat owner Sam Pink

Carl Thomas. Ok, I finally got the scoop on Carl... I've seen him around town for quite some time now. Me & Ms. Ta-Da were speculating on which Houston "Get It Girl" got Carl Thomas to stick around town. Well...it turns out that he is a part time Houstonian with several immediate family members here. So here's my belated "Welcome To Houston!"
Fellow artist & Bilal collab's dropped by to show their luv & support Pic 1> Solange & Robert Glasper Pic 2> Scarface check out the track "Can't Get It Right" from the Emeritus Cd.

Music Producer Brian Cox was home for the holidays and spread the holiday cheer by opening the bar. He also joined Bilal on stage for a blues piece where Bilal gave him some advice on women.

Bilal performed songs from "1st born Second" as well as tracks from un-released project "Love for Sale."


Solange joined Bilal onstage for a duet of "Cosmic Journey." (From the Sol-Angel & The Hadley St. Dreams CD) Carl Thomas also gave the audience an impromptu performance.

Check out Bilal's Neo-soul Rockstar style...wife beater, tattoo sleeve & knotty faux hawk.

uuuummmmppphhhfffffff!!!!

My ol' school Basketball crush is gettin re-married. Why am I not surprised that his fiancee is...(for political reason's I'm going to leave this at an_______ awkward pause.) I've been hearing the rumors swirling around the industry about his preference for years. It's reportedly why Juanita couldn't withstand the blatant indiscretion's.

I really don't care what your preference is because in recent year's I've opened up my horizon's as well. However, I hate it when someone says that they don't have a color preferance but everything they like is in the same color family. For example your walls are white and you decide to make a change. So you go to Home Depot to pick a new shade and come home with eggshell, sandy shore or ecru. That's not a change. You should've stuck with what you like... white walls. (Ok, I strayed off the subject.)

Anywho! Can you believe that this fool is supposedly getting hitched with no insurance, no prenup? Whatinda Hell? Damn...I know Juanita took his ass to the cleaner's but...surely she left something for the next woman to take! I know he can't be broke. I mean why else would he not have a pre-nup.

Ps: Why is it that you never hear about how the ex-wife is living & who she's kicking it with. If I was Juanita, I'd find me a young, hot, fine @ss boy toy & wear matching Hane's tagless shirts with "I'm spending MJ's Money!" on the front and "Slam Dunk" on the back. Kimora please tell this 1st wife how to do it right!

DAMN!!! JAMIE YOU DOING IT LIKE THAT?

COMMON @BAMBOU

Common debut his latest project Universal Mind Control @Bambou. The man is absolutely breathtaking...I was a fan before but now I'm his official groupie. There's been only one artist that I attached that dreadful title to before and I no longer luuuv him. But...Common makes me want to moan syllables AAAAGH EEEEEEHH IIIIII OOOOOO UUUUUUUU!!!!! Damn! I was very professional when I met him but inside I was very unprofessional. As he signed my paraphernalia I thought to myself shiidt I got something you can autograph. I handed him my sharpie and actually stuttered and stammered. Just my luck the damn thing didn't work. (It was brand new and I forgot to push it down on something hard so the tip would get moist. lol) He looked at me with those chocolate brown eyes and said "This doesn't happen to often...normally these things work." (I swear y'all, that's what he actually said.)

He saw that I was a lil out of sorts. (He's so considerate) I didn't want to monopolize his time so I moved out the way so other groupies who were more prepared could get some luv. Then I heard someone ask for a kiss. I don't know what happen but I jumped the line and asked for one too...he looked at me with those brown eyes again and this time I noticed he had freckles and then he leaned in...and it happened he kissed my cheek and I felt moisture. (get your mind out the gutter) Just a hint of moisture on my cheek from those pink juicy lips of his. I felt his energy seep through my skin, I might be pregnant y'all. (My mother always said you could get pregnant from kissing, let's see if she's right.) If my prayer's are answered I'll deliver on Christmas Day!!!

I told him about my charity organization and we tried to use the sharpie again. This time it was nice & wet so it worked. After he signed it he looked at me & said "Dope!" I swear when he's looking at you, he's really looking at you. I'm in luv!

Plus I luv a man that can break-pop-tick & lock. Yes!! There was a breakdance challenge. I don't care if the other guy did a back flip my baby has skillz.

Ok! Enough of the gushing... his cd is dope buy it and support our future child.

Luv;>

Ps: I hear he has a thing for big booty girls who play tennis. I knew I should've worn the tennis skirt, sports bra & Bamboo earrings but my friend Ms. Ta-da' said that it would've been in appropriate.
