Lamar is my buddy, and he's Awesome. I first met Lamar waaaay back in 2000(?). Ossining, NY. Home of the famous Sing Sing Correctional facility. Lamar lived up hill and around the corner from Sing Sing. You had to walk through the prison parking lot to get from the Metro North station to his house.
I remember the snow. The blizzard, I mean. I remember being stuck in Ossining by 12 inches of snow and no way to get to the Metro North Station cause it was like... snow to my kneecaps.
I remember just hangin out with Lamar till the Metro North started running again. I tied trash bags around my feet and lower legs cause I didn't want to ruin my shoes and jeans.
Now, its a million years later and Lamar is not only one of the hottest go-go boys in NYC, but he's also doing porn. Seriously. He told me so himself. I didn't' really get into the details, because, you know, there's only so much that one can be doing in a porn. And the REALLYinteresting stuff, I don't wanna know about.
What up my people!Bleu and the Hotboyz have done it again.
It all started at Lobby. Remember that? Then they brought you Culture Shock at Culture Club. Then it was off to Shelter for NY LIVE.
Now Bleu Magazine and the HotBoyzNYC are doing it at ClubDeco.
I digs it. There's something about sweaty black people that screams Party!
Check out my Girl Lola in the lead pic. I love it.

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 reallybig 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. :)
1rst off. DO you know that MYSPACE killed my page. Right after I uploaded thease very pictures.
No warning. Just *Poof*.
Myspace, *middlefinger* x2.
Iight, back to the bloggin.
By now, you all know that the HIRO Ballroom is my fav spot to throw down in. I love her. She loves me.
Check out some of the fun that we all had this Memorial Day Weekend. It was a blast.
Highlights included : Andre J (of course), Amanda Lepore (luv u much), Jonte showing up as a sexy kitten Pikachu, Sir Ben Marx bringin skinny boys back in style, and of course.... boyz boyz boyz.
So I was leaving from doing my thing at SPLASH with G Xtrava --- when it happened.
First... a bit about Angels.
An angel, in my understanding, is a messenger of God. God speak s to us through them. Often, Angels are so overwhelmed with the the voice of God, that they can come across as disjointed and a little "off".
People call them Crazy. I say just listen, and u will hear the truth.
Dex Star G is an Angel Magnet.
It happens all the time. I can be anywhere doing anything, and more often than not, some guy/girl will walk up to me and start talking about.... uhm...... anything. Usually a topic that I am wholly knowledgeable about, but which is so far removed from my thought process, that I am usually taken aback by its conversational nomination.
Example: Green Haired, glassy eyed, Norwegian Rastaa with a "^^The Man/The Legend" shirt and blue teeth: "Man, I keep falling, and I don't know why. It's those damn Smurfs. U aren't friends with any Smurfs are u? Man, I keep falling"
This is Me: " No, I don't know any smurfs. Your Shoe Laces are untied, BTW"
Rastaa: "Dude, I keep falling. Do you have a smoke? Thnx. I hate falling down. Maybe if I tie my shoelaces...."
The lesson: If you don't tie your shoelaces, u are bound to trip and fall. Amen.
I bumped into Scott on my way to Union Square to catch the train. He asked for a smoke, then started telling me how that night was about "clarity" and "focus". We walked, and talked and shared and then I caught the train.
I luv me some G Xtravaganza. I could go on and on about how he is a GREAT and CONSTANT inspiration to me. I could write an epic omnibus swathed in praise and incourageable dedication to his qualities as a muse.
Look at her. Just look at her. Movin and groovin to some kinda funky beat. All bass lines and guitar riffs... or uhm, Bass lines and syncopated rap lyrics... or uhm... u get it. :)
Yup, Mr Wesson did it again. The silen rave in Union square was the deal. I dug it. Hundreds of NYU Students, NYC steet folk, and me just a movin and roovin to our own funky beats.
Iposd, Zunes, MP3 players provided the music. It was like having your own pesonal DJ on a communal dancefloor.
Groovy.
Check out the images from the party and revel at the joy and delight that it NYC at night.
Im a favorite son of Texas with plans for Brooklyn. I am The Peoples Photographer. I champion their beauty with my eye and soul. oh yeah - I took every last pic on this blog. If I'm in it, the time was used. Enjoy!
