Happy Birthday Shernita!

So just got home about 20 minutes ago and decided that I needed to get this night off my chest before I went to sleep. Of course, the BKBOYEEZ were at it again. Last night’s destination was one that neither FaBid or myself has been to before. Deco Lounge, located on 94 Leonard Street, was the venue for a surprise party for a good friend of mine- the talented, hard working, and always entertaining Shernita (if you don’t know her, trust me you will). We got there a little later than planned, nevertheless, we were enthused to celebrate with our homegirl. An old friend from high school was working the door for the night, and I was excited to see her for 2 reasons: Reason #1: it has been years & Reason #2: yes, you probably already guessed it- a possibility for a free entry. Well lesson learned there… it definitely has been years (LOL). Anyway we get inside, first person we see was the B-day girl, second thing seen was the crowd : ( and lastly, the less than luxurious atmosphere…so of course, to the bar (thanks Dre!)Hip-hop was blasting! Kanye’s “Good Life,” ‘I always had a passion for flashin’ was the line used to get into “Flashing Lights”(both songs off Kanye’s Grammy award winning album, Graduation). Do I need to say it was HOTTAH and got me partying a bit, but the general census of the night was: it was OK. Shernita looked great and so was the party (as usual).

But just when I thought this B- night couldn’t possibly upgrade to a hard B, on the train (yes, the train) on my way home I looked up and saw Shayla-Vie Jenkins (an old friend from a lil while back) in the new PUMA ad for the Fall/Winter season. She looked great! Come to find out, Shayla who is a dancer in Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company as well as the rest of the company were all featured in the ad. (Sidebar- Bill T. Jones is a Tony Award winning choreographer for Broadway’s Spring Awakening and creator of soon be Broadway show, the Fela Kuti project).

There is a lot more that went into our night but its 7:22 in the AM and I am tired.

Be Blessed…..KuTTy
