The Eligible Bachelor

As a young man with limited life experiences, I found myself @ times regretting a particular course of action when dealing with the opposite sex. What I intend is to pass on my knowledge so others may benefit from my experiences.
The foremost lesson I've learned is honesty is your best friend. It may sound silly, especially if you plan on dating multiple women. However, you will find that you can sleep easier if everyone is on the same page. Before even getting into the "dating game" however, establish some guidelines for yourself. What type of woman do you want to have a relationship with? Now, what type do you only want to have relations with? There is a big difference and you should be able to make the distinction. Everyone's boat floats on their own wave, some people can have a casual relationship and avoid attachments, for others it just doesn't work. Having guidelines helps to save you time and headache. Nothing's worse than spending a night out with someone you can't vibe with. "To thyself be true." You always have to face the person in the mirror. If your a goal oriented individual, as our readers are known to be, then career goals and timelines may also play a part in your guideline making process. With your guide place you are now ready to be real with yourself and anyone you may meet. If you're casually dating let it be known. Providing people with accurate and letting them decide for themselves is priceless. Please note, DO NOT be vulgar or crass when explain your "rules". Subtle is invaluable, especially if your trying to "get lucky". Stating my intentions in a matter-of-fact manner has worked for me in more than one instance. Once I was able to bypass a two hour dining experience by simply stating I'd rather spend up close time with her than in a restaurant and that I had a bottle of Moet already chilled. It took 30 seconds for her to answer and we were off for a short stay. Honesty is a great friend. Stay tuned for the next installment of The Eligible Bachelor.

A.J. Crimson Bday Bash

I arrived early, heeding the warning of event coordinator Ra-Fael Blanco. I was in for a little wait as we waited for the celebs to show up to this early week party. In hindsight, it was well worth the wait.

Dee Vasquez from Sirius radio, Hot 97 showed up first on the Red Carpet, looking comfortable but fabulous in a simple black jumper. Proving you can get big sound from a small package, R&B artists Bri Beauty appeared next w/entourage in tow (www.myspace.com/msbribeauty). The new face of Hennessey and Sean John, Miguel Perdomo, was all smiles for the ladies as he hinted that something may be in the works with Pharell.. Let's wait n see... Rap artist Jumz cruised threw blessing the mic w/many drops as the Washington Heights indie artist pushed his craft... Choreographer Smooth shed some lit on the red carpet w/a fresh baldie and swagger... He's currently working on project w/Lil Mama and some other top secret thangs. Dee and Ricky Bobby, teen designers, popped up and dropped the 411 on their group Jackson Swinton... Plenty of New York's elite showed up camera ready even if they weren't walking the Red Carpet... Kalon Jackson, star of an upcoming Spike Lee film, posed for the cameras sporting his tan he picked up in Italy. Expect the film to drop around October 2nd.. For more check him out @ myspace.com/kalonjackson... B.Scott gave his own brand of Fabulousness as only he can deliver... Google him for the latest celebrity blogs... Crazy... Black Butterfly fluttered by to drop hints at their stuff dropping this fall.. (www.myspace.com/therealblackbutterfly). The Retro Kids came thru.. Flattops, Gumbies and rope chains in full effect. I finally popped inside myself to meet the people.

With an open bar and bubbly in abundance everyone was in great spirits. Music was compliments of DJ MK, Brooklyn, NY's baddest b*tch on 2 turntables keeping the vibe going... Google Me Baby sensation Teyana Taylor, snuck under the rope in her ultra quiet-is-kept plain black Converse and rocking a pony tail hung out with Jackson Swinton, drink in hand (hope it was a virgin ... Somebody call their parents). Style was definitely the word of the day.. The room was a collage of color and form fitting flair... From leggings to skinny jeans the ladies rocked it all.. Handbags of all sizes seemed to add personality to some male as well as female attendees. Go figure... As of 9:45 pm I still hadn't spotted the honoree of the night AJ Crimson. Now on my 2nd glass my vision was still clear. Clear enough to spot Forest Whitaker as he made his way in the place @ 10pm, taking a moment to pause and take photos with friends as well as admirers. I had to take a moment myself to shake the man's hand and pay my respects. I continued to mingle and ran into an old favorite.. DJ Clue, a fellow Queens native and hiphop dj extraordinaire, next to the Imperial DJ Shogun that is.(Heh heh).. Wuts good w/an interview Clue?.. Overall the event was a huge success that could only be described as Noteworthy. Plenty of Beautiful Bodies Minds & Souls coming together 4 a star-studded event. This has been another night out with your host Red.71.
