New Years Eve is my favorite holiday of them all so I couldn't decline the invitation to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year (aka Tet) at Pagoda Vietnamese Bistro in the Heights. This year marks the year of the ox. Guest enjoyed delicious hors'doeurves, mai-tini's & Martell cognac as well as participated in the numerous activities such as Chinese fortune telling, origami and a lively authentic dragon dance. Special Appearance by the models from the Hope Initiative calendar were on site to celebrate the New Year.

Envy Bollywood Fashion Show@Momentum BMW

Envy Magazine & Momentum BMW West present "Bollywood Nights"

Fun times were had by all at the Bollywood themed party. Party participants dined on delicous indian treats courtesy of Bombay Brasserie. We were also entertained by henna painted dancers who shaked & shimmed harder then the backup dancers in Beyonce's "Put a Ring On It" video. (I picked up a couple of moves to take back to the club.) The highlight of the evening was the Ed Hardy and Guess fashion show. Be sure and check out the video slide footage.

Last night was truly a magical night... as corny as it sounds there was a lot of energy in the air and it felt good. Across the globe it was a good day and with the night came celebrations...

Young Jeezy Ft. Nas - My President Is Black (Official Music Video) (2009)

Thousand's of yesterdays past we faithfully awaited Tomorrow

Tomorrow graced us yet again but this time with it comes CHANGE

Today we live in the moment of HOPE for a better Tomorrow

Tomorrow fades into yesterday, last week, month before, year ago, centuries behind and millenium past

As for TODAY, this day

We feel the PAST, the PRESENT, the FUTURE all at the same time

Transition instant gratification

We feel the world changing

We are pivtol

We are the OBAMA GENERATION

Mikki Howard @Redcat Jazz Cafe

Hey, Hey, Hey I'm back! I know that I've been MIA for a minute...but the vacay is over and it's time to get Social Privy 09 poppin'! This year is going to be phenominal. I just know it! The big day is around the corner. CHANGE is coming are you ready?

Ok Y'all...do you have an artist or song that pulled you through a hard breakup? I do. I was a young lil naive girl when this lil ugly @ss busted up boy broke my heart. Whew...I went through it trying to get over it. But then...I heard this song that gave me hope "Love under New Management" by Mikki Howard and I've been a fan ever since. I can also remember going through my jazz renaissance period. I absolutely fell in love with Billie Holiday and once again Mikki was there with a collection of Billie's greatest hits. Having said that there was no way I could've missed her at Redcat. Which is starting to be one of my grown & sexy spots. It's just nice to hear authentic music and feel the vibe of live vocalist.

This was one of the most entertaining segments of Mikki's show. This woman repeatedly screamed her personal request of the song "Love Under New Management" (one of my personal favorites). Little did she know that Mikki was going to drag her onstage for a sista to sista talk about her lying cheatin' crack smokin' no good ex who inspired her to write the song. Well...lil did Mikki know that his woman would snatch the mic(ol girl could hold a note too) and belt out her own rendition of "Love under New Management" while holding up her wedding/engagement ring singin' "I got love under new management. Yes, I do...I got a new man and he pay all my bills..." It was absolutely hilarious!

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.
