Out About Town: Nylon Young Hollywood Party + more!

You just never know who you're going to run into during a night out in New York City. We started out at the launch party for Face Public Relations at Guest House. The Remy cocktails were flowing, the DJ was spinning old school, and I bumped into an old family friend, Janelle, who I grew up with and haven't seen in forever! Our reunion pic is on da left. Isn't she gorge? So besides all of that, you know I had to get some pics of the partygoers...





Loved her big hair! She was tearing up the dance floor in no time.



These two had fab short cuts, so you know we bonded.






Here's looking at you, boo.

Her kimono-esque blouse was divine.


Jean Alerte, C.E.O. of Alerte, Carter & Associates made a fashionable appearance. Gotta love a man in a suit.


This cutie reminded me of John Legend.

There were certainly some great smiles in the building.


And of course, I posed with my random hot guy of the evening.

Despite all the cuteness at Guest House, it was time to move on to the Nylon Magazine Young Hollywood party at Amalia. Little did we know our night was only just beginning... Where do I even start?

Well, these two caught my attention right off the bat.


Fierce! Loved her hair and diva pout.



Pink suit? Sure why not?




Aw! This darling man took such good care of us and was the perfect gentleman. Oh and he's booed up with Erin Fetherston (of Erin Fetherston for Target).


How. Yall. Doin.

These ladies were enjoying the atmosphere...okay really its all about the hot chick on the left (actress/model Clarissa Santiago).


So I was beyond excited when we saw Dawn from Danity Kane as soon as we got inside, but Donnie from MTB4 actually made me scream (yes, I'm told I did my white girl WOOO! that I usually reserve for concerts). There's no excuse for this. All I can say is I must have regressed back to my NKOTB days in the suburbs. Anyway, he's a super nice guy.




Gorgeous Top Model, Jaslene, was there too! Talk about photogenic...




Then I got distracted. B*tch had on my dress! Yet another reason to wear couture exclusively.

Hey boo!



MTV VJ Quddus was really hot. And sweet. Sugary sweet. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. He took a pic with my friend who will prolly make me take this picture down at any moment. He also greeted fellow MTV host Susie Castillo in VIP.




Okay seriously, I love this woman. Noted fashion designer, Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, was the first to design lingerie and dresses with the needs of more generous-breasted women in mind. For that, I'll always be thankful. Her black cocktail dress and aqua earrings were perfectly chic!

I just thought she looked fab.





I'm so into interesting headwear these days.



This chick looked super cute from head to feet.

Wonk wonk...what it do?


VIBE Fashion Director, Memsor Kamarake. He better work.

Hot gay guys never go out of style.


So. Much. Fun. And the night didn't end there! We bellied up to the bar at French Brasserie, Cognac and flirted with all the guys. Then, the next night, my new friend Terry had his birthday party at Frank White in Brooklyn. Faaabulous venue with a great outside smoking area in the back.

The birthday boy...

...the venue...




...the chips. In lieu of cash, at Frank White you buy chips which are exchanged for drinks. I had to keep one as a souvenir. Oh and so you know, the Hello Kitty Band Aid is my tongue-in-cheek ode to Mariah. But my official answer for any and all media is that my dog nipped me.

Thanks to everybody seen here!
