AUTHENTIC....the take over!!

e a s e here...and yes, it's true...AUTHENTIC had Philly on lock Saturday night...well, we competed with a lot of parties and we actually had a packed house! So much, that STIR wants us back once a month....we'll let you know about the next one. But, as you can tell from our faces...we were quite happy.

Actually this pic is from Friday evening at The Social Club...we did a collab with these lovely ladies...selina and joviiiii baby! Definitely a great night and then Saturday..they hosted with us along with this precious lady..

Tiffany J....hmmm, this is still a pic from Friday evening...let me look.....aha! Here is Saturday!


Don't we look EXTRA happy...that's because we were! and still are :D PlUS, DJ Jayla...our O-fficial AUTHENTIC DJ kept the party jumpin both nights...but definitely on Saturday..THANK YOU! :)And for those that were not present...or were and didn't make it to the back of the lounge..we had a bright pink wall that should have, or maybe does have...your signature for solidarity...the beginning of our movement to expose domestic violence in intimate partner relationships and lgbt communities and end it!...so necessary!! So, if you did not sign..stand for it anyway and hit us up if you'd like some resources where you are..confidential and very helpful. Abuse is NOT your fault!


So, this is the end..check out Facebook for more pics of the evening(s)...
a HUGE thank you for all you came out and supported and those that supported by donating to the cause!!! Our arms stretch out to you...BIG HUG ;)

until next time

Word of Wisdom: Lauryn Hill

Hey hey heyyyy!

Yoooo! I miss givin' to you guys just LIKE you need it! Like for real for real ... you know ... Like Wednesday's W.o.W. ON Wednesday!

**slaps self** SHUT YOOOO MOUTH!



Anyways Ladiesssss .... I wanted to give you an AWESOME word ... AND the heads up on some pretty HOT EVENTTTTS!

uhhh ya! Cuz I'm good like that ... you know ... multi-tasking. lol.

***

Sooo... My favorite song by Lauryn Hill is

soooo ... I thought I'd share some lyrics today ... so you could sing AND stand up for something!

"I find it hard to say, that everything is alright
Don't look at me that way, like everything is alright
Cuz my own eyes can see, through all your false pretenses
But what you fail to see, is all the consequences
You think our lives are cheap, and easy to be wasted
As history repeats, so foul you can taste it
And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it ..."

Ladies, there are soooo many conversations we could have about this song ... AND Ms. Hill for that matter. However, I speak no ill words about her ... in my head she STILL stands next to the goddess ... she's her spawn. true. real true. double true. (WHAT?!?)

Anyways ... If you find it hard to say ... that everything is all right. ...

Come on out and SPEAK YOUR MIND ...

First of all ... BE EXCITED ... the first two women you would have seen last night were my JOVI BABY and Selina Carrera!

Ya! I knowwww ... I almost got a lil' hot too! It's OK. My friends areeee indeed sweltering!

9. ME MYSELF and IIIII ... uhhh ... don't play me ... you KNOW I oft times call myself a poet.

"which means i did lie, i do lie, and i am presently lying because the craziest thing i ever heard after spittin' one of my poems ... was somebody talkin' bout they wanted to be deep JUST LIKE ME."

10. BEST PART ABOUT IT IS THERE WERE SOOOOO MANY MORE ... I can't even remember the names! If I'm forgetting anyone ... PLEASE charge it to the 4am drive back to NJ and this 9:39 am blog. NOT ME.

okkk ... i'm gonna stop rambling now ... i think the $5 entry and $3 happy hour and random break dancers and several poets and singers both male and female im forgetting to name and MASS of pretty people speaks for itself. ya. you right. it does. ::giggle::
