Midnight Cruising

It’s Always Best on the SEVENTH!!!

Seventh Day, Seventh Sign and Seventh Cruise… for the past 7 years, James Saunders has presented the White Party Cruise around Manhattan.

On Saturday, August 1, 2009 at 11:59pm EST over 300 Moonlight Cruisers dressed in their best summer white outfits, took a 4-hour bon voyage on the “Spirit of New York” creating great memories and dancing the night away until sunrise.

Event Producer Laurence P. returned after a year hiatus. The evening was hosted by Comedienne Tammy Peay with her special guest DJ Baker of The Doo-Dirty Radio Show. After Moonlight Cruisers dined at the buffet, they were entertained with live performs by R&B and the first female artist signed to Def Jam Alyson Williams, recording artist the SEXY Dy’Ari and we Party with B – Baron. The music was pumping and heard on all 3-decks by the amazing DJ Calvin Smith, DJ Styles, DJ Andre Collins & DJ TeaseNYC while the WPMC exotic dancers took the stage. A big shout out to the Best Dressed Winners.

When I Grow Up....

A looong long time ago, I used to sit in my desk at GMB Turner Elementary and I used to wonder what I would do when I got to be my moms age. Its funny some kids wanted to be Firemen, or cowboys. Some wanted to be Doctors, or lawyers. There were even a few in my neighborhood who wanted to be Michael Jackson.




Me? I've always wanted to be a Game Show Host.


Seriously.


Ive been Alot of things. Ive been in Management. Ive been in Middle Management. Ive been in Operations. I've even played music professionally.


Now? I take pretty pictures of fun people and folks pay me for it.

I recently worked a big party sponsored by two really big companies.

It was fun. Keyshia Cole performed, Kanye West's Fiancee (or ex fiancee), Alexis showed her designs (hot) and it was awsome. I kept looking around the room and askin myself "is this what she/he wanted to be when they were a little kid?"

A little wierd, I know.

The best part?

Hangin with all the chicks from Americas Next Top Model. Seriously....

Be careful what u wish for cause u just might get it. :)
