Sex and the City After Parties

I don't think I need to tell you that Sex and the City comes out today...although most cool people have already seen it...yea, I'm not one of them. (sad face, pouting, crying, tears coming down, stomping, screaming...okay I'm done)

There are plenty of parties to head to after the movie. Bring your ticket stub to Pasha (2147 P Street NW) and you'll get in free. Plus one lucky partygoer will get a free SATC gift bag! How cute! RSVP here.

Mayorga Cafe (3301 14th Street NW) is joining in on the SATC fun. Bring your ticket stub here (I guess everyone had the same idea) and get in free until midnight...but Mayorga has one up on Pasha because if you show your ticket stub to the bartender you get a free cosmo! And omg, is it true that you guys are giving away a sex swing? That's just tacky...but I'm sure somebody will be happy lol. EW.

Memorial Day 08: Your Friday Night

YEAH!!...not only do we have a four day weekend, we're also supposed to have lovely weather over Memorial Day weekend. I'll be in Boston (...y'all know I can't sit still) but you've been asking me (thanks for your patience)...and I finally have my top picks (in no particular order of course) for your Friday night party! :)

(Photo: Me and my girls last Memorial Day spent in Dade County...that song was hot then)

Pasha (2147 P Street NW) is continuing their Friday night party into Memorial Day weekend. Hosted by The Talk of DC, you'll get in free before 11 PM. I know everyone wants to celebrate their graduation this weekend and Pasha has tables going for $350-$1000 (wow...$1000!...that's a bit much for Pasha)...at least they have $5 patron and ciroc before 11.

G4 is continuing to pop back on the scene at Mai Thai (1200 19th Street NW). A loooot of UMDers will be celebrating their graduations here so if you know somebody that knows somebody perhaps you'll be acting a fool here. Shout out to my DC Fab! correspondent Aminata and Video Fab! correspondent Felicia on their graduation! :) One of my fav DJs will be on the 1s and 2s, DJ KI so the music will be good. I don't know for some reason I foresee people dancing on couches...hmmm...Oh yea, it's free until midnight. *UPDATE*: G4 Scott says, "If you don't get a bad chick's number tonight, I'll give you your money back!!". Please take him up on his offer. :)

So who isn't promoting Mayorga Cafe (3301 14th Street NW)? Some of your favs will be in the building this Friday at this nice spot hidden in Columbia Heights. I was supposed to check it out last week but then my sinuses were effin' my swag up so I stayed in the house...still, I hear a lot of ladies were in the place...almost too many. Fellas, you may find your number one fan here. 

Chee Chee and Cheeky bring out an older, more professional crowd to Station 9 (1438 U Street NW). Station 9 has great areas for lounging and enjoying a cocktail. Don't expect things to pop off too much here...although the flyer says they'll "crank that Soulja Boy"...hmm I doubt it...It's $10 and the party is on the second floor.

Stay fab y'all! :)

p.s. Have y'all heard the new Common and Pharell song?! It's bumpin! Get it here!

Pasha Celebrates the Graduates!

The Talk of DC is celebrating their own...and you too I suppose. Shout out to all those graduating from GWU (I really wanna go here but I don't like their program), George Mason and Georgetown!!!

It goes down tonight at Pasha Lounge (2147 P Street NW)...

(Photo: DC Fab! fan Yodiddy and Bethel!! Hey girl!)

If you've never been to Pasha check out the pics below; you might as well check it out. Try to make it to the 2nd floor, which always seems to pop off...the first floor is really hit or miss.

(Photo: A shot of the first floor...the hit or miss floor.)

Try these: Station 9 | Pasha | Mayorga Cafe

So I told you everybody was throwing something this weekend...and I wasn't lying. Here are Friday night's options:

>>> At Station 9 (1438 U Street NW), the Usual Suspectz (shout out to Brandon!) are throwing a posh, polite and professional party. It will probably be more like a happy hour. Go here if you're into the lounge scene. On the second floor they have these great seating areas to sip and look cute. DJ Cuzzin B (WHO IS ON POINT!) and DJ Top Choice will be on the 1s and 2s. Also, you might have a chance to win 2 VIP tickets to The Glow in the Dark Tour.

>>> The Talk of DC (Hi Nate!) is taking over Pasha (2147 P Street NW) once again on a Friday night. It's called the "Bad Girls Party Part 2" and they're celebrating the Bison graduates with giveaways for ladies and $5 Patron shots. RSVP here to get in free! DJ Goldenboy told me it popped last Friday so go and find out. (How's your ankle boo?)

>>> Also, Chris M. has been texting me like crazy about what he likes to call the sexiest party on Friday. It's Mayorga Cafe & Lounge (3301 14th Street)...not to be confused with The Park at 14th...although their party is called 14th and Park. I still find that so weird.

DC's Best Saturday Nightspots

Heyyyyy love muffins (sorry, that was my ode to B. Scott),

I'm in NYC right now so I can't talk for long but here's what's up in the city.

>>> Watch the fight (De La Hoya v. Forbes) tonight at H20 (800 Water Street SW)...

>>> Dreamteam has First Saturday's at Cafe Asia (1720 Eye Street NW) tonight...

>>> LGI throws "Addicted to Fresh" at Pasha (2417 P Street NW). Goldenboy and KI will be on the 1s and 2s but like I said...Pasha rarely pops off like that.

Feel free to check out the new spots like Pose (344 Waterfront Street) or some staples like Love (1350 Okie Street) or new staples like Josephines (1008 Vermont) or The Park at 14th (920 14th Street).

Okay...gotta run!

And stop thinking like that, I do love DC...I'm up here attending a wedding on Chelsea Piers (swank!)...be back in DC tommorow.

Luv you too,

DC Fab! Girl (and cut!)

King Magazine's Lizz Robbins at Pasha

Tonight, King Magazine's model and columnist Lizz Robbins will be celebrating her birthday at Pasha (2147 P Street NW).

They'll have drink specials and a buffet until midnight so try to get there before then...although I've never seen Pasha pop off before then (from any promoter...and many have tried).

Model Ahni Love, April Watts of Majic 102.3 and WKYS' Jeannie Jones are also rumored to be in the building.

The sounds will be provided by WKYS' DJ Sixth Sense and one of my favs DJ KI!

Tonight: Pasha | Fur| Skye Lounge

Already people are asking me what to do tonight...it's such a gorgeous day (y'all know I've been waiting too long for Spring. I wore open toes in the Winter!) Still, check out these hot spots tonight:

>>> Pasha (2147 P Street NW) may be jumping off now that DJ KI is on the 1s and 2s. (Hi hon!) Ladies are free until midnight and they have $5 shots of Patron and Diddy's Ciroc. RSVP HERE.

>>> Calling all Alpha Angels!!!! 9 chapters of APhiA will be at Fur nightclub (33 Patterson St. NE) tonight...If you want a Black and Gold man stop by there. 

>>> If you're looking for something new; the grand opening of Skye Lounge (1919 Penn. Ave. NW) is going down tonight. Try this at your own risk! :) It calls itself a martini and sports lounge. Doors open at 7 PM.

Is Vivid's Light Getting a Little Dim??

So, the DCFab! team was out and about and stumbled on a dud...

She writes, "So apparently Pasha (2147 P St. NW) is losing its ap

peal. [I don't know if] it's because of Love's (1350 Okie St. NW) new claim on Saturday nights or what...but either way, it's not looking too good for that spot. It's just not what it used to be, and they've consistently produced rather dull parties the last few times that I've attended. [I was] thoroughly unimpressed :("

Hmmm.
p.s. Oh calm down, it's one opinion. That's all.

Below are some pics from a person who definitely has a different opinion about this party...I damn near got cursed out over this! Jesus, keep me near the cross:

(Photo: The crowd at Pasha)

(Photo: Some Fab! socialites...luvin' the looks!)

(Photo: UMCP alum Chinedum is stylin' on emmmm...I see you in the suit boo!)

That's all.

Something like a Phenomenon at Pasha

I went to the club last night and reminded myself why I'm definitely a party girl (and if you're looking confused, yes, there is a difference). So. If you're looking for a party, try Pasha (2147 P St. NW) tonight.
 

I'll be honest, Pasha is a hit or miss...so proceed with caution. Go after 12 AM so you can at least chill on the 2nd floor...the first one doesn't offer many options besides sitting on the wall and who wants to sit on the wall?!

It's Vivid Fusion's third event of the year...let's just hope the rain doesn't scare people away!

SlackerFab: Love | The Gallery | Cafe Asia | Pasha

Okay folks...your girl is going to the Bahamas (shout out to 'Rickie; my jetset buddy) in like 5 hours and I really can't give y'all the rundown like I want to. BUT; the top four places to hit up this weekend are:

1. Talib Kweli will be at Love (1350 Okie St. NW) on Friday promoting his (relatively new) album Eardrum

2. The Gallery (1115 East West Highway)  in Silver Spring on Saturday -- shud be good now that the Hotboy DJ Quicksilva is on the 1s and 2s...

3. First Saturdays at Cafe Asia (1720 Eye St. NW)...this one is called "Sex Shooter"...I just don't get it...

4. Pasha is continuing the longest metaphor in DC party life with "The VIVID Trilogy". Check out the video invite here. Snaps for the hi-tech.

Okay luvs, back to packing I go...I'll miss you... :)

p.s. "I kinda' wanna be your sugar momma" <--- the joke was on me today! (inside Gchat joke)

Recap: Vivid Fusion at Pasha "The Encore"

So my sources finally gave up the goods regarding Vivid Fusion's encore event of the season, held last Saturday (1.19.08). Sources tell me that, "[Pasha] was good once it started to jump off around 12ish. The DJ finally got it together [and ]I liked the mix of music he played, from the new school to the old school...I would defineitly go back again! :)"

(Photo: How did I get on the flier??? Muna!!)

Yea, before DJ Goldenboy stepped in the building there was definitely some sound issues and as always with Pasha, the top floor was packed but the first floor remained...spacious. A source says, "We left around 3:30 after being on the top floor in VIP, but I think people downstairs left before then, because when we left know no one was there." Hmm...

Check their next party out...I hear it's supposed to be Feb. 2!

Saturday | DT at Cafe Asia | Flywire at Gallery | Vivid at Pasha | 18+ Love with DJ Khaled | Teedra Moses at Black Cat

Hopefully the snow won't keep us in the house this weekend because there is literally too much to do. From Silver Spring to downtown DC, there's something for everyone!

---

Of course, Dream Team has Cafe Asia (1720 Eye Street) on lock (at least on Saturdaysss) and they're paying homage to a man that made tremendous change in the lives of every American.

With their "I Have a Dream" party on Saturday (1.19.08) I guess you can two step and think about how much progress America has made, where racism doesn't exist anymore and separatism is a thing of the pasttttt ( I'm too cynical for my own good!)

---

Flywire hooked up with Cheeky Sasso Ent. to bring Flywire Saturdays to the Gallery (1115 East West Highway) in Silver Spring. Flywire is known heavily in Baltimore, not so much DC but maybe Flywire is trying to get more exposure. More power to them.

Cheeky throws very classy events so I'm sure every third Saturday at the Gallery will be completely grown and hopefully sexy.

---

Muna and Vivid Fusion (what does that mean anyway?!) had a very succesful party last Saturday (if you missed our Fab Correspondent Miss Aminata's review, click here) and he's trying to do it again this Saturday (1.19.08).

Same place, probably the same crowd...It's called "The Encore", how fitting. It's a nice time, I just hope they have the air conditioning on this time! 

---

So, Marc Barnes decided to shut down his Thursday night party for the 18+ crew and give them some love on the weekend. Love (1350 Okie Street NW) will now be 18+ on Saturdays, giving Platinum some much needed competition.

It's called Dream Saturdays (perhaps a homage to the club, as it was once named Dream). DJ Khaled will be in the building (WE THE BESTTTT!) to help transform a once 21+ night to 18+. But don't worry, for those of us who are 'of age' the third floor will be dedicated to those who got ID.

Hope this works!

CALLING ALL TEEDRA MOSES FANS!!!!!!!

She'll be at Black Cat (1811 14th St.)  this Saturday (1.19.08). Doors open at 9 PM and tickets are $22. Click here to get some!

Here's Teedra performing "Take Me" at Black Cat back in April. 

More to come...this weekend never ends!!!!!

Recap: Pasha Saturdays with Vivid Fusion

While there were several parties that conflicted with the much-anticipated "Premier" party, Muna and V.I.V.I.D. Fusion lived up to their reputation in providing an atmosphere that was bubbling with sophistication and fun.

(Photo: Outside of Pasha)

Muna brought a not so diverse crowd to the Moroccan themed restaurant. The event started promptly at 9 PM, still partygoers did not trickle in until after 12 AM, leaving the lower level awfully bleak.

(Photo: The first floor at Pasha, which never seemed to fill up)

Escape to the upper, VIP level which does not open until 12 AM (for shame!) and you're in for a treat. Many sources were overall satisfied with the party but they couldn't resist mentioning the unbearably warm climate of the lounge. A bit of ventilation never hurt anyone…believe me.

(Photo: Some VIP's enjoying themselves sans ventilation)

Drinks at the bar were a bit strong, but who's complaning and DJ Golden Boy is a recurring favorite!

All in all, I look forward to V.I.V.I.D's next event, "The Encore" (Saturday, Jan. 19, 2008).

AKA's at Olives | DST at Gallery | Pasha Saturdays | BET Honors at Warner Theatre

It's such a busy weekend in the District. I am so excited for a number of reasons (Shout out to Mia who will be celebrating her birthday in the District with meeee!!!!):

OMG, I'm so glad this event is here...I don't know about you but EVERYONE is talking and/or spamming inboxs about The Jewel Celebration at Olives (1600 K Street NW) on Saturday (1.12.08).

DJ Quicksilver of WKYS will be in the building so you know the music will be good and this party is a part of the AKA's Centennial celebrations. (Congrats to members of AKA Sorority, Inc.) Shout out to David of Dave & Ray who is celebrating his birthday here too!

For more info, click here or here or here! (I told you, everyone is talking about this!)

And for my sorors who are looking to party it up on our Founders weekend, Chee Chee and Cheeky Sasso Ent. are having something at the Gallery (1115 East West Highway) in Silver Spring on Saturday (1.12.08). Doors open at 10.

Go there to chill (they have nice couches downstairs) and have a few drinks (their martini glasses are so cute!) before you head into DC. Oh yea, happy birthday to Cheeky too!


---

And if Saturday wasn't busy enough, Pasha (2147 P St. NW) is rolling out the red carpet on the 12th. They ask for you to come in your flyest of fly...just don't come too fly that you can't two step. Vivid got hi-tech on us...See video invite below!

---


Lastly, your girl got invited to the BET Honors at Warner Theatre this Saturday. BET is honoring the best in business (Janice Bryant Howroyd), entertainment (Tyra Banks and Alicia Keys), social justice (Dr. Cornel West) and philanthropy (Maxine Waters).

Shout out to my mentor, Stephen Hill . You can catch this show on BET on Feb. 22.

:) I'll see ya' around!

For Sister's Only 2007 | Keyshia at H20 Again | Where the hell is RG?

For Sister's Only, the expo for black women and in support of black owned businesses is coming to the District this weekend.Here are some pictures from Georgia's FSO:

J and that bird chest...kills me err'time and astonishes me that he wants to show it off!

I heard Mario's body was right tho...check out his documentary on MTV2, "I Won't Love You to Death". It made me fall in love with him.

Anyway, Joe will be at the Avenue (649 New York Ave.) later that night for all the ladies...

--------------------------------------------------

Did y'all hear about this new lounge, Blu (6821 Reed St.) out in Bethesda? (It's the old Fuzion) It's opening on Friday so go check it out and let me know how it is...who wants to go to Bethesda? hmm...


--------------------------------------------------

Am I Hating?

I love you Keyshia...but you have got to find somewhere else to perform. Oversaturation much? If she has ANY fans left that haven't seen her, she'll be back at H20 (800 Water St.). Back by popular demand my a$$.

--------------------------------------------------

So...Republic Gardens is gone and they've moved the party to Pasha...but didn't Pasha just have a Grand Opening with G4 and Vivid??? What happen with that? Venue jacked perhaps? ...let's just hope people don't start getting confused.
