Hello my loves, there is a lot of cool energy going on this year! Stepping out of the box, trying new things and you know what? Falling in love is possible as well! I know it sounds cornball or sappy but it is true. Yes, you can fall in love with yourself. And I don’t mean when you are dressed to the nines! I mean the person you have evolved into since you first put on those heels! There is a reason why we do this. No matter what the motive, it has made you shine boo! So fall in love with yourself. Your friends, your family, your favorite ice cream, your favorite Cosby Show episode! Check it out and tap into what makes you you. Had to share the love this month! Divine circulation!
So I know you have seen so many new nights popping out all over the place. We got G-Spot at Here, Therapy at Fubar, Bedazzled out at Adele’s and some hidden jewels I didn’t know were going on. Know what? Dreamgirls is at MJs! There I said it and it is fierceness! In Silverlake on Saturdays, Chad Michaels and the queens come to town and they serve it well! Miss Candis Cayne is another jem (Jem and the Holograms) going on at Hype at Ultra Suede on Fridays. She’s back and ferocious! And what about seeing Allusia and Samantha Starr at the Factory. Oh yes and my girls at Sheedy’s. It’s called Cakefight on Tuesdays. Raquel Redd and Miss Luna keep it together over there! Work babygirls! Got to holla out at my homegirls!
Special shout out to Phyllis Navidad for the off the hook party opening of PopTart Gallery! That party was amazing and now we know another owner of a business. Know who the first one we know is? Tell you what, she makes you cum everytime! (Answer at the bottom of the article.)
Many of you ask me what is the new party tee for the underground. Well I do know that there is a party called We Own the Night emerging from the shadows. Check out WeOwnTheNight.org. Scott Boxmusic is throwning it down!
Ok, now that you got the lowdown on the underground coming up. What else is going on around LA that Miss Barbie-Q recommends you may ask?
