CONFIRMATION

We need confirmations! We need to move on the production for the 2 year but impatiently waiting for confirmations are never fun. Nevertheless, this is all apart of the process. I can't wait for everything to go out!.....tick tock tick tock

My Birthday

I'm a tad late with this post and I blame it completely on the event craziness that has been circulating in and out of my life rather rapidly. I've been meaning to sit my bootie down and talk about this recent memory in my life that I will never forget!

Let's start with the beginning. First of all, I had NO intention of celebrating this year. I was suffering from the infamous "birthday blues," amongst other things and my best friend and business partner Monica Payne was being extremely insistant upon me doing something. She sent me texts and emails regarding my birthday plans and I was simply just not feeling compelled. Isn't it funny how we impose the tradition onto our friends to celebrate their birthday, as we proceed to give the the speech stating the obvious "why it's important that we celebrate" facts; but when it comes to our own birthdays we do the same thing they were doing. And in the end...9 times out of 10 we're happy we did! LOL.

My birthday started out with a whole lot of love from my work. Big Minnie Mouse balloon, big cupcakes, cake and candles...majorly unexpected, thoughtful and super sweet. "Boo you're beautiful is what I wanted to say!

Then I spent some QT with my guy and had a great time with family! It was far from over. When returning from the bay, Monica threw my birthday party at the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills on the rooftop. One of my fav spots. Gorgeous! I was happy to see everyone who was there and it was perfect. I started my night off with the infamous "salted margarita," and kept it movin'. The weather was perfect, drinks we're fabulous and I got a ton of gifts. Every woman loves gifts! The cake was yummy and seriously I had an ultra "boo your all beautiful" speech. After my sobby speech, ( you know how I do ) the folks headed over to Jav and Jerry's night at Crimson/Opera.

Ordered another Margarita and was dancing the night away. Before long, Ms. Rashida got a text on her bat phone and yes yes, Prince himself having one of his amazing soiree's! It's always a good time heading to Prince's...I mean really...how can it not? Thanks to Ms. Rashida I was able to share this amazing time with some of my best friends! Boo is beautiful! This was the best gift ever! I was seriously on a natural high off the love, excitement and 25% was the alcohol I'm sure...but I couldn't stop smiling! We left the Crimson and we are on our way to Princes'.

I could see the look on my best friend Jewels face, when she first walked in.... it read "omg...are you serious?" The fabulous wait staff who usually spruce up the most delectable appetizers were busy making something delicious in the kitchen, and the wine was being poored. My fav! Looking back, it may have not been the smartest choice to have a glass of white following my margarita run...but hey IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY! Everything goes tonight! We entered the jam session room where Prince usually has one or a couple extremely talented artists jammin' with him. Nothing short of amazing as usual. I was feeling fantabulous to say the least and then Your Royal Badness closes the unforgettable evening with "PURPLE RAIN." A perfect end to a perfect evening!

And of course it was around 5am...oh lord!

I'm so glad I celebrated my birthday! Thanks MO! Booo...you're beautiful!

ps. Can you believe I made it to work the next morning. Holy crap! Gatorade Saved My Life!

Events

Things have been non stop the past two weeks and what a blessing! I currently work for Disney during the day as an events producer and I love it. Also, my business with OtoPayne Inc and the Honey Collective have really moving forward! I recently produced an event for the entire company at Disney Online at the Roosvelt Hotel. I must it admit...it was pretty fabulous! Synchronized swimmers, rockin' dj, chocolate fountains, delicious food, perfect weather, fire pits, and open bar! HELLO!

With every event, there is usually always something that catches me off guard. For instance, we had no idea the swimmers were going to show up...because they had been unreachable for two weeks and never confirmed. 6pm hit and in walks 12 girls ready to put on a show. I was like "okay...let's do it!" Event began at 730 and the weather could not of been more perfect. Scetch and Dj Spider were the hired dj's for the evening and they killed it. They had all the folks breakin' it down. Literally, my co-workers started battling and getting their freak on. Liquid Courage...love that! It was awesome to have been a part of providing a good time for such a hard working staff.

Meanwhile, Monica Payne and I were hired to produce Wendy Williams congratulatory party, celebrating her show being picked up for 20 more episodes on Fox. Singer/Songwriter Teddy Riley was in the house, blogger B Scott was representin', actor/comedian DeRay Davis amongst others were enjoying the evening out on the town.

Tonight, the Honey Collective is teaming up with cognac Hennessy to produce an event at the Esquire mansion titled "the Art of a Gentleman." Men and Women alike....prepare to be pampered!
and of course...we're throwing an after party! you know how we do. Following the Esquire mansion, prepare to party at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood at the Purple Lounge. The sweet sounds of Dj Rashida and Dj Anthony Valadez will permeate the air!

and as for the Honey Collective 2 year Anniversary! I can't ruin the surprise...but history is about to be made! Pictures to come!!!!
