> The Dallas Mavericks, specifically Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse and Josh Howard will be in Layla Lounge (501 Morse Street NE) tonight. Please read our recap from last week. Layla has definitely fell off. For more info click here.

Redskins v. Cowboys!!

It seems like everybody has either football fever (I'm a basketball girl myself) but today is a tight game with the Redskins playing the Cowboys. I swear there are more Cowboys fans in DC than Redskins fans (lol). Still, if you're like me and like to watch sports with tens of other screaming fans, head to these hot spots (especially on this cold day!!!):

Tonight head to Current (1215 Connecticut Ave. NW) starting at 8 PM. Enjoy their sushi (I didn't like it but whatevs) and cocktails. The Redskins won't be in the building but I hear Antawn Jamison and Mike Beasley will...(GROUPIE ALERT!) Email this guy or these guys to get in free before 11.

You can also watch the same game at The Park (920 14th Street NW). The party goes until 3 AM. And I'm a little confused but I'll let y'all figure it out: The Park is also celebrating Mike Beasley's coming home party with Caron Butler and Dwayne Wade (GROUPIE ALERT!).

Indeblue (707 G Street NW) is having their usual Sunday night party with open bar from 10-11 PM. And WKYS' DJ Alizay will be on the tables! Click here for more info.

Recap: Howard MBA's Celebrate at Love

Your girl is sad because she lost her memory card at Love (1350 Okie Street NW) on Friday night (I must have been having a good time...) but anyway...

With the National MBA Convention coming to a close, many out of town MBAers and even more Howard MBA students (or those trying to get into the program), mixed and mingled with some of the finest of black business.

Early into the night, each bar on the first floor, dedicated to a different kind of liquor (I liked the vodka bar, hated the Cruzan), was packed with patrons trying to get it in before the open bar closed. With so many familiar faces that were totally different from the regular DC socialites (does anybody else get bored with seeing the same people every week?), if you looked closely you might have even saw a BET or ESPN talking head.

By 10 PM, Love was actually on and poppin'. Sure, the convention crowd brought an older demographic to the place but still...I felt young and shiny (as my spec would say) so I felt alllll good! :) Shout out to the third floor.

Later on in the evening the Wizards did show up despite that touchy incident with DeShawn Stevenson months before.

Caron

Antawn...he has really worked on his 'deer in headlight' eyes when he takes pictures! You go boy!

Big Tigger on the mic!

Former Wizard, Roger Mason

Caron Butlers Luvs the Kids!

Caron Butler loves the kids and each summer his camp engages area kids to do something productive! Click here for more information or to get your little one (ages 8-16) signed up!

Of course, Love (1350 Okie Street) is capitalizing on this good deed and is having an event in honor of Caron's 3D Foundation.

GROUPIES GET READY!!!!

Rumored to be in the house are Dwayne Wade, Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison, and Tony Romo and you can't forget that Foxy Brown's boo will be performing, Rick Ross.

Watch him...quite hilarious!

Stay fab! :)

Pic Recap: Tigger's All Star Basketball Game

It must have been the hottest spot in DC and not because of all the socialites, celebs and reporters/bloggers in the building. It was just HOT! In UDC's gymnasium (can we invest in central air conditioning please?!), the "Wizards" went up against the "Baltimore Bullets" to raise money and support Big Tigger's 7th Annual Celebrity Classic.

No one really cared who won...by the time everybody left we were just looking for the nearest air conditioner and snowball.

Recap: K Street Lounge | Spotted: DeShawn, Caron and Seezins

Here's what the sources are saying: 

By midnight, the line was long as usual. It was pretty much a stand still, with an average of two people going in per 30 minutes (WACK!). After realizing the 20$ cover (UGH!) we got in. After the long wait in line,  we expected it to be poppin'...but it was just mediocre and hood!!!!

Now that they've added tables and couches in the middle of the dance floor it creates even less space to dance. Of course as we were walking around we kept getting bumped into...it was very annoying.

The Washington Wizards showed up around 1 AM, including DeShawn Stevenson and Caron Butler. They sat at seperate tables. Oh and surprise, surprise the head groupie of the moment, Seezins from Flavor of Love (with her terrible weave and panty line) was dancing around Caron's table with two of her friends. Who does she date on the Wizards??? Hmmmm...

The music was cool as usual and our first round of drinks came to $22 ( I guess that's not too bad). At least the bartender was fast, but she wouldn't give me my card back until she realized that I tipped her appropriately. (Boo!)

Overall, the night was a 6 out of 10 and if we didn't make it into VIP, it would have been a 3. If you're not at a table, I don't suggest going to K Street (1350 K Street NW) on a Sunday night.

Recap: Caron Butler's Birthday Party

Before I head out tonight I might as well tell you what went down yesterday around 14th and K Streets (Northwest of course). Caron Butler celebrated turning 28 (wow, that's it?...the man looked good last night with his wife...dag) at The Park at 14th.

I saw a lot of familiar faces at this 'invitation' only event; the DC socialites were definitely out. Joining us were b-list celebs like Carmen Electra...and although they used Kim Kardashian's face on the flyer I never saw her. Still, I could have easily missed her as this small spot has four floors each with its own lounge and dance floor. I wound up on the 3rd floor as the 2nd floor was reserved for VIPs. 

(Photo: People trying to find the best floor for them in The Park)

Still, Caron is a baller so you know all of his teammates were in the building. I felt short for once; I'm 5'10" (yeaaah!) with Antwan Jamison, Gilbert Arenas and Andre Blatche in the building to name a few. Even the NFLers came out...Ray Lewis trekked from Baltimore to celebrate with the kid. He was even mixing and mingling, sweat dripping off his funny shaped head (Go Ravens!)...he's a cool dude tho. UMCP Alum and the most going out football player ever Vernon Davis popped up with Lavar Arrington, Roger Mason, Antonio Freeman and even Jason Campbell.

We can't forget the baseball players...I don't watch baseball so alls I know is that they played for the Boston Redsox and since one of them spilled his drink on me, their agent bought me martini's all night...great night. not so good morning. lol.   :)

Hmmm...something about this picture is all wrong. Can you guess what it is? Oh yea and Gilbert is d-runk.

It was a great night if you're a big sports fan and after everyone had about 2-9 drinks in them people were dancing instead of standing around getting annoyed because the place was absolutely TOO small to handle everybody in a civil manner...and fans could even wait outside to get autographs from their favorite ballers. Did I mention that Caron looked good?

Anyway, it's another FM Girl night so I gots ta' go.

Stay fab snitches! :)

DCFab!'s Friday Night Picks:

Aight peoples...sorry if you checked earlier and nothing was here. Momma was out handling her growns folks things -- getting my hair done :) I had a pamper-me-Friday. You gotta do that sometimes. Shout out to my sister who pampered herself too much today. Luv u too. (she prob not even reading this lol...okay I'm done)

I don't know about Friday nights in DC but I'm hardly impressed. It looks like the major clubs are offering a good time. 

Love (1350 Okie Street) is having their usual Friday night party. I gotta shout out Marc & Taz for throwing a good party for Caron Butler yesterday.

H20 (8oo Water Street SW) is giving ladies free admission until midnight. They even have open bar from 9-11 if you get on the guest list. Click here boo.

Ibiza (1222 First Street NE) is trying to repeat what they created last weekend. I don't know if you can top a Missy Elliott performance and my fav morning drive-time funny man Russ Parr, but why don't you help them try tonight. 

It was such a puuuurty day, so if this isn't your thing why don't you try wandering around U Street. My fav spots to chill are Jin, Mocha Hut, Tabaq and Pure.

That's all.

Mini Recap: Caron Butler's Birthday Party

I'm leaving work early today to handle some growns folks things so I'll give you the juice later...way too many ballers were in the building along with the groupies and b-list celebs and thanks to the Boston Redsox your girl was good all night! Haha...tell you more later.

Stay fab! :)
