Hey Hey Hey,I know I've been gone for a minute, but ya boi has been BUSY doing some things to make 2011 THAT year.But enough about me.... Let's get into my girl Karen.This Miami Mammi is a ray of light. I *heart* her.I heard it through the grapevine that Karen was sitting out Fashion Week and having an intimate dinner at Buddakan NYC to.... celebrate her Birthday!!!!Yes, and you know how much DexStar G loves a good Bday, and so it began.Although I couldn't make it to Buddakan, I did manage to catch up with Karen as she invaded Secret Lounge to party it up with the gay boys for a few. And if theres one thing that you need to know about Secret Lounge, those Beautiful Black men love the some Beautiful Black women.
Welcome to Emerald City!!! On June 1, 2010 on the Lower East Side, my Hommie, Baron, threw a HOT party with a purpose called Emerald City.The night will featured music and performances from some of the top LGBT artist of Urban Music and their Allies. He'd been wanting to put together a party that has everyone involved in the experience. I think he found the answer. Have you've ever been to a Live Mixtape! No! Well baby... u missed out. Being in NYC, i get theoppurtunity to hear alot of live music. Usually, the performers are someone on the Radio, wishing they could be on the Radio, properly styled for MTV/BET, while pimping their product on Itunes. While the Emerald City crew is all of those things, they were also inspiring. I mean, when can you hear a mid tempo love song sung by 2 sexy men? How about a Battle wrap between a Boss Chick (Hard Lezbian!!!!! *grin*) and a Fashion craving Butch Queen (Gay dude)?The performances Spoke to me.
She's a Boss
Dy'ari sang and blessed our eyes.

Andre is Everything.Andre J is really the reason I ended up on the path of documenting NYC Nightlife. He got me my very FIRST club gig. It was at the legendary NYC spot, Club lotus. He was my very first Muse, and he continues to inspire me with every breath.We've been friends so long that we are Brothers. Both in Art and Love & life. Since landing on the cover of French Vogue back in November of 2007, his life and career have launched themselves up to Super Luminal speeds. From NYC, to Vienna, to London, to Paris. Andre is Universal.We hit up Kiss & Fly in the Meatpacking District (our old stomping grounds) Check out the energy that he brings to the room.
We had a blast that night Celebrating life and love.
