Farouk Shami of Chi Systems debuted a select group of Houston Hairstylist at The Greenspoint Marriot Hotel Sunday afternoon. The event was hosted by the Miss USA Crystal Stewart and judged by Great Day Houston's Debra Duncan and playwright Je'Caryous Johnson. Roy Butler of RB International Hair Studio was one of the three stylist showcased. His performance was entitled Beautiful Nightmare. My fav moment was when he snatched the lacefront off of a outdated wannabe Dream girl and spun her into a FAB'TASTIC GLAMSTRESS. Whew... Lawd knows we wish he would hit the streets and continue turning horrific nightmares aka Lacefronts into beautiful fantasies. Check out RB International in the flesh at 5308 Almeda 713 522 7171.

All the models hair was coiffed using Chi Products. Deep Brilliance is the latest perm system by Farouk, from the lips of the hairstylist and models it's a great product. Another notable moment was when Farouk spoke to the audience about the importance of using ammonia-free products. More importantly he addressed the negative effects of using ammonia based products on our hair are directly related to the decline in some African American's health and birth defects. He also educated us about the value of using products based in silk. All in all the CHI Expo was a wonderful informative event that Farouk plans to continue next year. Stay Tuned!

BMW Southwest unveiled the new 5 Series with a Fashion Show and Benefit for the Fodice Foundation Thursday evening.

The 550I among other 5 Series made a stunning debut alongside Page Parkes models as they both took a stroll down the runway.

BRAVO! Job well done. I've always thought combining fine automobiles and haute couture would be a Fab'tastic and innovative concept.

Neiman Marcus provided the fabulous and sophisticate attire complementing a superb elegant evening

A Night In Tokyo

2010-06-23T20:01:00.000-07:00

Houston Magazine and Sushi Raku invited a select group of guest to enjoy a tantilizing Night in Tokyo. I could hear the faint sounds of drums as I pulled into valet. I felt like Cinderella in reverse as I dashed up the walkway (in 5 inch stilleto's) hoping that I didn't miss the performance. "D@mn, that rush hour traffic!"

Once inside I was greeted by a band of Taiko drummers in complete authentic garb down to the tabi socks. I looked at their feet and then down at my already throbbing feet and thought to myself "Wanna trade?" Anywho! There was this one lil drummer girl (she had to be shorter then 5ft tall) was bangin the #ell outta the center drum. I wouldn't want to pi$$ her off for nothing. Eventually I found a seat and took in the show. WOW! I was really impressed with the athletic ability and skill that it must take to practice this art form. Bravo!

What's a night in Tokyo with out Sake and Sushi? Guest enjoyed exotic Sake cocktails and tasty Sushi Raku dishes. Everywhere you looked people had their mouths full of delious food, stimulating conversation and delightful libations. The perfect formula for a great event.

Only body movements can express how off the chain DJ Grizzle's set was. He started us off "Sexy and sophisticated" by the end of the night "Our Mind was Playin Tricks on Us" as we did "The Butt" because it was our "Prerogative" to "pop our collar" "Get low" and scream "IN NEW YORK" at the top of our lungs.

LG Entertainment is SOCIAL PRIVY APPROVED. http://lgentertainment.com/ 281 235 8668.

I absolutely adore the elegant yet edgy decor of Sushi Raku. Huge red ropes adorn walls and windows setting the VIP tone for this hot restuarant. Sushi Raku is SOCIAL PRIVY APPROVED. 3201 Louisianna St 713 526 8885.

What does a social blogger do when they decide to detox from alcohol for 2 weeks? Stay at home read a book, reorganize your closet? Heck No!! You recruit someone else's liver and become a designated driver. That's what I did! So who was the lucky donor of such a gracious deed? None other then fellow blogger http://cheapeatsinhouston.blogspot.com/ . RepublicTequila hosted a tasting party at The Owl located 3200 Kirby. Spirit enthusiast were not only invited to sample Republic Tequila cocktails they also received some very interesting information on how the company process their Tequila. Since I wasn't drinking I took some notes.

Republic Tequila is based here in Texas which means their product is estate grown and bottled here in the lone star state. Tequila is made from the heart of the blue agava plant, once harvested and cut the plant goes through a series of process before it hits your shot glass. The difference between Republic Tequila and others is, that it is made with 100% Blue agava and water versus other lower brands which are what called mixtos. Mixto Tequila's add other filler ingredients to the product. Theresa of Republic Tequila explained that mixto concoctions were the main reason why people get sick or wake up with hangovers. So invest in a good Tequila!!!

Republic has three Tequila products: Plata, Reposado and Anejo. Anejo was the fav' out of the three Republic Tequila shots that I had my liver donor @HTowncheapeats (Good looking out!). Once I'm off my liquor detox... I got to get my tolerance level back down, I'm going to try the Yellow Rose Recipe which is Republic Tequila, OJ and lime juice.

Gentleman's Tonic Host Cigars and Cars Houston Mag 2010 Fresh Face

2010-06-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

Guest enjoyed good ol' fashioned BarberShop treatments.

How much more manly can you get then fine Whiskey and Cigars?

Gentleman's Tonic located in Uptown Park kicked off a fab'tastically sexy event this afternoon called Cigars and Cars. Guest toured the posh and sophisticated decor of Gentleman's Tonic which can be best described as a traditional barbershop for the modern man. Or what I like to call a "Man Spa." Gents can receive a variety of services such as haircuts, grooming (They can even take care of that bushy unibrow or de-wolf the hairy back... YIKES!), and of course massages (leaving relaxed is your happy ending). Okay you guys, you've been Privy'd to the Gentleman's Tonic the reassuringly masculine "Man Spa," so now there is no excuse not to pamper yourself. Give it a try and you'll see why the ladies are always giddy over Lady's Spa Day!!!

Models wore fab'fits from Tootsie's.

My fav was parmasen cups of mixed veggies!

Houston Magazine and Tootsies kicked off The 2010 Fresh Faces of Fashion poolside at West Ave . Houston Magazine editors were searching for outstanding and spectacular trendsetters of Houston. If they didn't find them at this event... *Piercing Stare.* Houston fashionista's and Dapper Don's showed up and showed out. This event was "Most Def" visually stimulating. Everyone had the look. You know the look of "Daahling, this is how I live everyday." Effortless. No one looked as if they were trying to be seen. Being seen, is their scene.

The pool was located on the 7th floor and the evening breeze was just right...so were the "Breezys" modeling on platforms placed inside the pool. Models switch poses and fab rags from Tootsies all night long. Can you say? Decadence. Cocktails were served up in the hautest colorful tube shaped glasses. The most fab thing of all was what was swirling in those glasses. What was that you ask... but the exclusive elixir that makes all parties top notch. Grey Goose of course.

The element that placed this event over the top was *Cue Spotlight* Swift & Company. The event planner/caterer. Every single morsel was delicious. Everything, and I should know because I had everything. After all they kept, the hor dourves flowing all night long until the last fab guest sashayed out the door. Kudos and handclaps goes out to SOCIALPRIVY APPROVED.... Swift & Company.

All in all... This event was a fab'tastic kick-off to a fresh face summer!!!

Ps: I would've luv'd to take more pics however someone... *Eyebrow lift* forgot to charge up the Canon. Anywho!

PS: I've got to keep it 100% real. This event and all of those who organized are real SocialPrivy Certified Socialites. The definition of a socialite is one who uses her social status and activities to enhance and improve society. A socialite is not a party girl who knows everyone and attends every party always dressed to the max throwing her status quo around. A socialite doesn't use her relationships with the well known and wealthy to host parties at nightclubs just to fill her designer pockets. I personally call people like that HOODLITES. No offense, I'm just giving credit where credit is due. Thank You ladies for being excellent examples of social responsibility. Until the next time!!!

Hollywood Houston w/ Robin Givens at Brennans

2010-05-17T22:05:00.000-07:00

The lovely Ms. Robin Givens was the epitome of style and grace as she spoke of wisedom and truth. The acclaimed actress also shared her sincere heartfelt life experiences with guest Sunday at The Hollywood to Houston lecture series held at Brennans.

Ms. Givens was in Houston performing in the breakout play Church Girl. She spoke on everything inquiring minds wanted to know without fear or reservation. Yes, even Mike Tyson's name was tossed about. However not in the way that you're assuming. Robin Givens thanked Tyson for their rocky tumultous marriage as it was one of the many trials and tribulations that made her the strong woman that she is today. She also spoke on the imfamous Oprah Interview of which she wanted to avoid like the plaque. Robin also spoke very passionately about women's rights especially as it pertains to domestic abuse. She is passionate about bringing these matters to the forefront of media. The hot topics that continued to arise during her address were GOD and being a mother. Two things that are the most important to her.

On a lighter note... I almost spit out my Pinot when she recalled a story about being a little girl visiting a Pentacostal Church with her best friend Laurie. Robin enjoyed the church service so much that she wanted to catch the Holy Spirit like everyone else... Running around, shouting and praising. Well, when it didn't come naturally she did what any actress would do. She performed what she saw others doing. Her best friend Laurie busted her after service... "Robin, we know that you were faking it." You had to see her act the scene out she had us all in stiches. Girl you can't fake the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it will make you sit still and listen and sometimes *singing* "it makes you wanna shout, throw your arms up and shout Hallueh! Heeey! Heeey! Heeey! Heeey! Whew lemme stop! ;>

I have to say that I throughly enjoyed Robin Givens. She was absolutely delightful and inviting. She made me remeber how important her career is to so many of us. Think about... Robin Givens was playing strong black woman roles back during a time when televison was comfortable with us being prostitues, project moms and what not. Robin Givens always played strong intelligent roles from her days on The Cosby Show to Head of the Class, Women of Brewster Place, and who could forget BOOMERANG! She changed many women and mens lives with that movie.

Chole Dao winner of season two Bravo's hit fashion reality show Project Runway debuted her Spring 2010 Collection entitled Lightness at Live Wherehouse. The fab event also a benefitted The Fairy GodMother Organization which helps students who can't afford prom dresses and tuxs. I truly believe in this organization because the prom is one of the few events where teens get an opportunity to partake in a formal event. Prom teaches students how to approach formal occasions in terms of dress and ettiquette which are skills that will prepare them for other formal functions in their future. Please take the time out to find out how you can participate in making a students prom special. http://fairygodmotherproject.com

The second installment of Convo Session's was held on the patio of Straits at CityCentre. Saturday afternoon a diverse group of individuals came together for a exchange of dialouge ranging from relationships to politics. I throughly enjoyed listening and every now and then weighing on a point or two. I was impressed at the classy and sophisticated manner in which this event was moderated. It's very rare for a group of people to come together and discuss passionate issues without tempers flaring. Not the case with this session. I can say that I was enlightened and stimulate and will definately partake in the Convo Sessions III and I suggest that you do the same. Stay Tuned for details!

The ever so entertaining @CristalBubblin. I finally got a chance to met the woman behind the side splitting tweets. This Chick is a TweetStar... I wanted to ask her for her autograph. Follow @Cristalbubblin I guarantee you'll be entertained.

The brains and the beauty behind the brillant event Convo Sessions. Bravo YO!

Last but not least a gracious and heart felt Thank You to @Monsieurbobby for the invite. Once again your hospitality is top notch. (now give me my money for the shameless plug.)

Yours Truly ;>

The dining room was to die for. I absolutely fell out over the drama of this wall... Luvs the lavendar, cream color scheme. The pool table... Can you say Playboy!!!

The wall in the living room opened up to a gorgeous patio with two sexy illuminated pools complimented with open fire pits. The second level opened up to a dynamic overview of the crowd below.

Guest mixed and mingle amongst themselves. The Bengjof collection and ambiance of the scene was the main topic of conversation on everyone's lips.

Guest endulged in delicious treats whipped up by Houston's own Chef Jeff. Of course my fav was the cupcakes and chocolate room.

The lovely Antanique served up the spirits all night long. Luvs it!!!

Simon Fashion Show

2010-04-09T20:36:00.000-07:00

Dj Reeka

Simon Galleria Fashion Show was another huge success. Everything was what I'd encountered the year before. Dramatic entry way, Cocktail recieving line and of course the white haute seats along a covered ice skating ring. I luvs it... Tre chic'

If it's a Haute event you can guarantee that resident Style expert Todd Ramos was present.

Of course Houston Chronicle's 2010 Best Dressed Honoree's were front row and center Pic 1> Danielle Ellis Pic 2> Rufus & Dr. Yvonne Cormier and Rick Thielke and Claire Thielke-Cormier.

Pic 1 > Yellow Magazine Editor in Chief Viet Hoang and guest. Pic 2 > Stylist Engineer Travis Cal and guest. Mr. Cal enjoyed viewing the various pieces in the show. His keen eye for that "it" factor honed in on the Versace Peep Toe booties for the must have item of the spring. Pic 3 > The Elevator Fashionista's (Because we met on the elevator.) The ladies were kind enough to give me the real breakdown of the show and it was so on point. I have to admit... I agree'd with thier POV. Some of the models walk and presentation was a bit lackluster. Diva on the right coined the phrase "Sleep walking on the Runway" for the girls that did'nt give THE BIZNESS!!! Luvs it! Im phrase jackin that one!

Oh la la... Front Row Buzz

Guest seated in the coveted front row seats gave the models a little competition for THE BIZNESS!! Pic 3> The always Fab'Tastic Denise Ozene.

Versace, Nordstrom, Carolina Herrera, Billy J. Reid, Missoni, and Salvatorre Ferragamo were some of the labels showcased. Versace and Ferragamo gave the most Flair on the runway. Bravo!!!

Backstage Drama

These juicy pieces made the audience gasp... The Citron Lime sheath by Ferragamo was fab'tastic up close and personal. The ostrich feather jacket was definatley SICK!! ICU Stat!

After show Cocktails and Conversation

Pic 1> Larry and Kamrya Capehart Pic 2> Bryce Kennard and Guest Pic 3> Mia Gradney I had a stimulating conversation with Byrce Kennard of Jones Magazine and new reality show "Keeping up with The Jone's." I absolutely adore him and see a bright future ahead of him... A star in the making!

So in anticipation of her call I steal away from the luncheon to chit chat. So I'm blaaah, blaaah and she's blaaah blaaah. All of a sudden I sqeaul Oscar! As Oscar De La Renta walks by me. I literally become star struck which for me is rare... He grabs my free hand and double kisses me on the both cheeks and strolls down the hallway. (Wooo I'm talkin about he has a fly-@ss sauve type swagger.) I'm just standing there cell in hand and all I can hear is my mother saying Blaah, Blaah, Blaaah... I put the phone back to my ear and say "Mom Oscar De La Renta just kissed me." She says "Oh that's nice and now what was I saying... oh yeah Blaagh, Blaagh and Blaagh." (Nothing phases mother's gotta luv em.)

It was too mind blowing to repeat... You had to be there! Viv spoke on her opinion of Reality TV in relation to the effects of employment of scripted entertainment professionals. However Vivica is smart enough to work reality tv to her career advantage. "Some people think oh she's (Vivica) fallen off because she's doing Dancing With The Stars or such and such... but they dont understand the relavancy of the audience that follow shows like Dancing W/Stars. Everything I do is strategy."

Chrisette Michelle a House of Blues

2010-03-20T20:26:00.001-07:00

Opening artist Laura Izibor did a wonderful job. Check out her CD.

Chrisette Michelle sold out the House of Blues.

Chrisette's Crew entertained us during a short lil break in performance. Her whole staff is talented.

Absolutely luved the wardrobe change... Chrisette changed into this beautiful strappy coral gown that flowed in the breeze as she belted out some of her sultry hits.

Chrisette was a real sweetheart backstage as she greeted one of her fans @ilychrisette that she communicates with on Twitter. It was such a wonderful experience to see the two interact. The young lady and her mother expressed their admiration for Chrisette's music and how it touched their life. (@Ilychrisette was soo cute as we practiced what she would say to Chrisette while waiting to met her. I played the part of Chrisette Michelle. She did great when she finally met her. I teared up as they talked about moving from New Orleans to Houston due to Katrina.) Moments like those are priceless to our young girls and I'm so glad that she choose Chrisette as a role model because she is a beautiful shining star! Luvs her ;>

Everyone came out lookin FAB!

Bill Belamy at Improv

2010-03-07T00:46:00.001-08:00

Bill Bellamy

Bill Belamy brought Saturday Night Live to the The Improv with a sold out crowd that gathered to enjoy a evening full of giggles or chuckles. I've been a fan of Bill Bellamy since his infamous Booty Call skit to him hosting on MTV Jams. Apparently he got lost on the 610 however he arrived just in the nick of time to make us roll in our seats with his jokes ranging from how bold Obama was to step out of armoured car on inaugraration day to his first time in a sex chat room. Our Fav' Ali hosted the event and slayed the stage as he always does. I love seeing new fresh comedians perform because when they blow up you can witness to the elevation of their career. J. Reid and D. Lane performed and held their own in the spotlight. J. Reid cracked me up demonstrating how you can't take a shower with a black woman because of her weave. "Im like umm, I know that's right. You guys don't know what women go through to get that hair *Flings Weave and bats eyes* (Thanks Roy B. ! Check out the clip under Kimberly Aitch). D. Lane took sometime to learn the lingo ALREADY! However he's using it the wrong way. I got a opportunity to speak to him after the show and he expressed how much love he recieved from the people in Houston. Hey! That's just how we do! ALREADY!

Spike LEE at The HCC Black History Gala

2010-02-27T08:30:00.000-08:00

The 2010 HCC Black History Gala Friday night was a elegant affair, the ballroom was filled with guest dedicated to raising scholarship money for over 75,000 students at HCC. (I've even taken a class or 2 there.) It was mentioned that this year was the first time that the Gala was sold out. Bravo!

The Joyce M. Reynolds Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients Jodie L. and Sonny Messiah Jiles.

The Silent Auction kicked off with a bid on a Computer package of which a HCC Employee won. That's dedication to the cause! Here are some of the other items... a sporty golf package at a luxurious country club, exclusive top notch weekend stay at the Hilton of Americas. 2 week lease of a new Cadillac while your vehicle is being serviced complimentary. First Class flights on Continental Airlines. Melanie Lawson won a framed and autographed piece of art created by T. Ellis.

Sold to the highest bidder!!!

Melanie Lawson bid on this beautiful piece of art created by T. Ellis.

I felt like a SISTER not a SISTA as I watched the video montage of Spike Lee's achievements. Each frame brought me back to a place and time of hope. I remembered how I felt when I saw "She's Gotta Have It." To see YOUNG, HIP BLACK people in a movie was MAJOR. (Youngsta's take stuff like seeing black actors on the movie screen for granted.) School Dayz. Watching the black collegiate experience was so inspiring to me... It made me feel so proud and cool to be a black young woman attending college. (Remember the scene WAKE UP! ) Mo Betta Blues is my all time fav movie period. That movie introduced me to jazz music, black love and most of all made Wesley Snipes and Denzel Washington bona-fide sex symbols. Think about it... Denzel rarely played in love scenes he was always known for his serious roles. Who could forget Wesley Snipes scene? He brought the dark skin brotha's back! lol. Do The Right Thing. A neighborhood riot was started with one question...Why aren't there any black people on the Wall? Spike Lee is so responsible for the success of so many actors... Samuel Jackson, Halle Berry, Rosie Perez and so many others. Can you tell I am a fan?

We all know that Spike Lee is controversial, anything could fly out of his mouth. So why was I shocked when he addressed how stupid SYRUP is. Or how about when he shared what his friends said to him when he announced he was going to be a film maker "Nigga, Please. I heard that from a lot of my friends and family." However there was one person that was instrumental in Spike's success and that was his grandmother who saved years of Social Security checks so they he could attend Morehouse. It was also his grandmother that invested in his first film because it was his dream. Spike said that although parents have the best intentions when encouraging their children to choose a degree that would generate the most money sometimes they are the biggest dream killers. If your child is a painter, or a singer don't force them to be an accountant just because it makes money. Lee shared "I know a lot of folks with good paying jobs and they are the most unhappy people I know."

Many good things were said but the one thing that stands out to me is that it only takes one person to believe in you and that's YOU. The second thing is all it takes is ONE person to support another person's dream. Whether it be a kind word at the right time or money to get the process of progress rolling. Spike Lee's grandmother invested over 50 years of hard work into her grandson and look at how many returns her seed money has given the world. Bravo Grandma Lee!
