Not a Recap: All White Party at Pose Ultra Lounge

Yea, it's not a recap because I didn't get in! By 12:30 AM the "line" or should I say mob to get into Pose Ultra Lounge (201 Waterfront Street) was total mayhem, so much so that approximately 20 minutes later (in heels time, it felt like an hour) the club was "shut down" and three not-scary lookin' police officers yelled for people to go home. No one budged.

They were still letting people in and everyone else either gave up or began plotting on how to fake as if they had a table...too much.

I'm not quite sute if it's worth all the hype...but it is a sight to see, so make sure you put it on your to do list. Just make sure you get there before 11 PM (I know...that's early right?)

Still, here are some pics from the event thanks to Sebastian:

Saturday Night To-Do's...

Yup, it's another Saturday and today I was out doing grown folks things (getting ready to take a trip...it's almost the 4th of July baby!) so here's another quickie:

Tonight, Rich Boy will be performing at Love (1350 Okie Street NW). 

It's the Carnival Edition of Penang (1837 M Street NW) with DJ Back2Basic and DJ KI on the tables. Don't be confused, you still have to come here lookin' fly. 

Pose (201 Waterfront Street) will be poppin' off tonight. Make sure you get GOOD directions because last time I drove around for 30 minutes lost in Oxon Hill. Get there early to avoid paying $25. Oh yea, happy birthday to Ryan and Bryan Swann who will be celebratin' here! :) 

Keep it fab y'all :)

Recap: Santana Moss Celebrates His Life at Pose

Last night, DC socialites, groupies and local randoms rushed into Pose Ultra Lounge (201 Waterfront Street) all trying to get in before midnight to avoid paying (CORRECTION: Everyone got in free)...the cover charge at Pose is $25 for anyone who isn't staying at the hotel regularly. It took some of DC's best promoters, including some of my absolute favs: Team BBC, Talk of DC, Dave & Ray and Ra-Ra, to get the spot sorta-filled.

Shout out to Dan the Man and Devon the Dude (when did you start calling yourself that?!), who also celebrated his birthday here!

If you've never been to Pose, I highly suggest to put it on your things to do. After getting lost in Oxon Hill for about 30 minutes (definitely should have followed the directions on the flyer...Google Maps won't get you there!), I drove up on the breathtaking complex that is the Gaylord National Resort. Gaylord is known for their extravagance (I stayed in one of their hotels in Tennessee...random I know) and although there's still a lot of construction to complete this $800 million project, it doesn't take away from Pose.

When I arrived, minutes before midnight there was a line of ladies outside all waiting to get in. Situated on the 18th floor of the hotel, the place wasn't crowded and never seemed to reach capacity but they held the line due to the fact that there were so many females trying/dying to get in...for one reason or another.

With one elevator that takes you to the main floor and another strictly for VIP/tables, you never could get a sense of where the real party was...of course everyone looked lovely (I don't think I saw a lady without a dress and heels on) and because of it...there was a lot of posin' up in Pose...yea that was kinda' corny but it's true.

Inside, Pose reminds me of something you'd see in Vegas or Miami...definitely forgot I was in the DMV for a minute. With great decor, big red lounge chairs and an outdoor deck, Pose has everything if you want to chill or get it poppin'.

One girl that did seem to get it poppin', maybe a little too much was Danyelle of Mane Passion...boo just straight hit the floor. I think I saw her bounce too when she hit the ground...it wasn't even funny. She kept it funky though and kept dancing and laughing it off...hope you're okay hon! :)

Santana Moss was chilling in VIP with a gawd awful doo rag stocking looking (I don't even know how to describe it) thing on his head...wow, you can't be serious. I guess you really are from Florida...anyway, he was taking pictures with fans and groupies alike. He was being real social and not stuck up like other party-goers and football players. I couldn't even name the football players that were there...I'll admit but they were in the building.

(Photo: Micaela M. (in the blue)...look out for her y'all...she's gonna be big!)

Overall the party had a lot of potential to be better than it was. With great looking people all there to have a good time, the party could have been better if there was a better DJ. I'm sorry DNA but there was never a set that gave back to back jams...he kinda' spaced them out periodically never giving people a chance to drop it likes its hot and keep droppin it...and he played the songs too long...I really wanted to do it House Party style and yell SWITCH a couple times.

Lastly, and I must say this...if you managed to find a boo here, Pose is the perfect place for club boo-loving. With the rooftop deck that gives breathtaking views of construction (lol) and the Potomac River, which is quite gorgeous. I was in luv. Pose also has private tables, complete with curtains for some party privacy.

I give it a solid B :) 

p.s. Shout out to Sebastian B. of Shy Magazine  and Robert Pearl of Brownstyle.net for taking all the pics :)

Recap: Fred Smoot's Official Bday Party at Pose on The National Harbor

If you thought Wednesday night at Josephines was Fred Smoot's birthday party...well that was only part one. Last night, Freddy celebrated at Pose Ultra Lounge (201 Waterfront Street).

Lamar, an avid DCFab! fan told me about Pose a while ago. Still, it recently opened in PG County's Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, an over $800 million facility.

PR Girl Extraordinaire, Patrice B. has the skinny:

 
Fred Smoot celebrated his born day again at Pose, the National Harbor's new club, last night. Everyone was there: Clinton Portis, Lamont Jordan (who was at Josephines the night before), Santana Moss, Brendan Haywood, "Seezins" was there like she always is nowadays and projected #1 NBA Draft pick and PG Native, Michael Beasley (his young self held up the entrance because he wasn't 21, lol... he eventually got in though).

Biz Markie provided the sounds and Big Tigger (in all his extraness) was on the mic. 

Pose is a beautiful venue located on the 18th floor of the Gaylord Resort. It has a very strict dress code so don't go there half-steppin! The VIP section was upstairs, complete with plush couches and flat screen TVs that overlooked everyone else downstairs. 

Nothing major happened though. 

Some random guy gave me a $100 bill because he was sorry that he kept stepping on my shoes.

I'm glad I decided to go... :)

Thanks Patrice! :)
