Jacked Pic of the Day: Beyonce is a MODEL! Well, kinda sorta...
Hi Candies!
Happy Valentine's Day! Personally, I don't have anyone special to share today with but I hope you do! It's pretty ridiculous outside, but hopefully Ms. B is warming you up with her hot, sexy ass! According to my records, Beyonce is the first "non-model" to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's most coveted and bought issues...and she's even rocking House of Dereon bathing suits (this one in the pic is a HOD suit)...now that's star power!
Check out all the pics here...she is rocking other designers as well, but I know how that meeting went over at Sports Illustrated:
Mama Knowles: Yes, so it is imperative that MY CHILE wears these suits.
Sports Illustrated: Ah, yes however we have some great desi-
MK: Maybe I didn't make myself clear. My daughter will wear HOD suits, or we aren't doing the cover...and we were promised this cover months ago, not to mention the check we wrote you to insure this would happen...
SI: Right. OK. F*CK IT. We are trying to sell this issue, and these men could care less what she's wearing anyway, so HOD it is!

Moving on, I attended the Bombay Sapphire Loft Event on Tuesday Night (they are doing events all week) where DJ Premier was honored...
When I walked in, the people at the desk were very nice. I'd RSVPed for myself and my client Dres of Black Sheep, but he'd just got into town from London, so I didn't want to fully punish him and make him come (I am good for that. I make sure you are on your job as the artist.) I took the elevator upstairs and wondered why there was a rhino in the lobby...I realized when I went out for my smoke break later on that we were actually at the Ecko building (duh!).
I ran into a few familiar faces...DJ SYNAPSE let me know he's working with Frank 151 now, it's a cute little publication, and they have some pretty hip events around NYC. I also ran into ROB SAUTHOFF, who introduced me to one of his artists. Then here comes BIG CED of THE SOURCE bumping into me like he meant it! Naw he's just playful like that...told him I was looking for JULIE ALS, and he pointed me right in her direction. We got down to some biz chat along with BUM, general manager for THE SOURCE. I also kicked it with ANTHONY FLORES of IRT MAGAZINE and CHRIS GOINES...saw my favorite gay boy DEVON CHRISTOPHER of BLEU MAGAZINE. I also met SAM NELSON, account manager for NOISE MARKETING, and ran into J and ROB STONE of CORNERSTONE PROMOTION.
KELLY ROWLAND looked decent, but I thought her hair could have looked better...I don't know I don't have a weave but I mean, it was cold and windy as hell that night, so it looked like her hair was a victim of that. She looked good none the less...and why are they pushing her album back?
BIG DADDY KANE ripped it for the people...I said whattup to the god. He said hi and we talked about Dres briefly (thanks for introducing me Julie!) Mediatakeout.com puts him on their "10 Celebrity Men Who Hit The Wall" list, but I think they should have just taken 1-10 and given it all to Devante from Jodeci...one word: DAMN.
I don't know who this guy is so I will call him DJ STANK. Part of my job as a publicist is to make sure these DJs have the music...now I understand you are in the middle of a set, but I'm thinking within the 3 to 4 minutes you have in between songs if someone comes up and says hi, you can see what they are talking about...I know you were busy but you didn't have to slap the CD on the side like that...he was talking to JUJU from THE BEATNUTS who I was also trying to give a CD to, but they were acting like chicks were trying to holla...I'm there to work, so chill. Every girl who says hello isn't trying to holla...still love you tho.
ICE-T and COCO were there...
...and TALIB KWELI also performed.
I had a good time...can't ya tell!
Until the next post...
CandyKisses!
