Closed LV Capsule
The folks over at the fashion power house, Louis Vuitton, put on their party hats this evening to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon. There to celebrate at the event were astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell.
In commemoration of this event Louis Vuitton has created a fashionable capsule “Malle Mars” which has all the essentials needed for a trip to the moon. Now, I don’t know many people taking trips to the moon…in a Louis Vuitton capsule at that, but this LV monogrammed capsule will be displayed at the American Museum of Natural History, located on Central Park West, following tonight’s event.
Openned Capsule
A few celebrities came out to party including Cassie and her unflattering haircut, Estelle, Whitney Port from “The Hills”, Lance Bass, and pregnant Victoria Secret’s model Adrianna Lima.

I just can’t help but think her hairdo is just a publicity stunt…it’s like everyone is trying so hard to be different. She is a very cute girl, I would just like to see her hair back….

Capital Records artist, Letoya Luckett, will be making rounds in NYC this week to promote her sophmore album “Lady Love”. She will be holding a listening party at Eden located at 264 West 47th street between 8th and Bway on Wednesday night as well as an afterwork event at Ultra located at 26th street between 6th and Broadway sponsored by Nuvo and JC Cognac.
Leyota looks looks really fresh-faced on her album cover. I am not sure how I feel about what appears to be a short haircut nor do I quite understand whether the strings are a part of her dress but I am ready to give the album a listen and see why Miss Luckett is calling herself… or the album “Lady Love”.

I am loving Maxwell’s new clean image. I have never before noticed Maxwell for anything else but his music, but his new album BLACKsummer’snight has brought out the sexy in that man! My goodness, I didn’t see it before, but I am loving the hair cut, the suits, and the overall clean and beautiful look.
The album, which was released yesterday has also captured my attention! It ixs a passionate and raw album. Although only 9 songs, they are all very “Maxwell”…just pure music that speaks to the heart. I lovez it!!!

DJ Cassidy
DJ Cassidy, who in my eyes is one of the best DJ’s out there is celebrating his b-day tonight ladies and gents. According to my sources, he is celebrating at the NYC Public Library!! How fancy is that huh? The celebrity DJ is celebrating grand at one of NYC’s landmark venues, and has hired Pollen Nation, an event planning and venue decorating agency to plan, consult and decorate. Decoration is said to consist of all white decor…from sofas to drapes, and candles lining the stairs of the venue.
So, who djs the party of a celebrity dj….how about Jermaine Dupri, Doug E Fresh, DJ Ruckasm and Frank Jugga.
Sounds like this will be a very picturesque event.

After the NBA Draft held at Madison Square Garden this year, the after parties followed.
I arrived at the 40/40 curious to find out what kind of night it would turn into. The first thing I noticed was that the line was around the corner. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to wait on line. After a speedy VIP entry, I entered the venue which was already filled with party people. We made our way to the bar to get ourselves some drinks. Within less than an hour of socializing and jamming a bit, the place was ridiculously packed!!!! RIDICULOUSLY PACKED!!! The music was great, the crowd was cool, and respect was continuously paid to Michael Jackson, but it was wayyy to crowded for me.
All in all, the Red Carpet event must have been a success because there was an amazing turn out of people. When I walked out to head home, photographers were still shooting away and the line that was around the corner was still just as long…
Event attendees included former Knick’s star John Starks, James Harden from Arizona State, and Tyreke Evans the No. 3 overall pick by Oklahoma City who went at No. 4 to Sacramento, along with several others.

Last night I attended my 1st of the few events going on this week for the NBA Draft. The event was held at Amelia Restuarant in mid-town, Manhattan (55th street and broadway). The party was hosted by Destined For Success Management and it served the purpose of kicking-off the week’s festivities with a beat of excitement. There was a fashionable crowd of nicely dressed young NYC professionals and movers-and-shakers in attendence. NBA players were in the house, along with model Christina Mendez, Brooke from Harlem Heights, and BET’s big Tigger. I enjoyed myself with friends as promotional bottles of the new Spirit Green drink was passed around.
Event Sponsors included Spirit Green and Rocawear 91x.
