parties and all

Believe it or not, I was at this party -Skyy Vodka Pineapple Infusion Party - and it was the hottest party I've been to this year and looking at the state of matters, just may be the hottest party this summer. It's turning out to be a pretty boring year. 

But yep, I was at this party. I didn't even think it would happen when I woke up that morning. I didn't get my RSVP reminder so I wanted to blow them off, but yet it happened and it kept Midtown buzzing, filled with about 700 people. You wouldn't believe it by looking at the pictures that I was there, but believe you and me, I was there. I wouldn't lie. The people that take these pictures always have a way of avoiding me. Them and the men. This was the party that some guy was talking to his cousin about he didn't fancy me and his cousin had the nerve t tell me. It's all good. This is my second Blackout Productions gig in a row where I've been carefully avoided by the paparazzi. Maybe Lynn thinks I am stalking by attending these things. Because you see so many of the same faces at these things, they start to think that you are "in the business," whatever that means. One person even came up to me and mentioned all the other events he had met me at. A conversation that ended with him asking, "So what do you do?" Nope. I am not "in the business." Wish I was. Maybe I should be their party girl blogger, then they would be more enthused to photograph me and make sure my RSVP is answered. I haven't really thought of it. I haven't thought of how to start it. How would I create a buzz around it. That's it. That's what I'll do.

But I have to hand it to the chick at Blackout Productions, Lynn Lilly, she certainly knows how to throw a party. I've been to about 4 of her events and each one has turned out better than the last. She brings the OPEN BAR heat with an awesome DJ, live music and complimentary valet. All the great compliments of a perfect evening. It's always a great time to be had at her events. All the party organizers/event planners need to take a cue, mention "Open Bar" and you got us. Tell us there's a cover and we bail. Her first event she actually had a red carpet and took everyone's picture as they walked in. I thought that was sweet, made everyone feel special. Now, the paparazzi picture people pick and choose who gets photographed. 

Needless to say she has some minuses. And they are:

She described this events dress code as "Business casual" and naive people like me took it literally, not good when this was to be the hottest party of the summer. One needed to look good, for the guys that fancy me and for those that don't. How am I ever going to get to wear all my fancy clothes when you give me the wrong dress code information. And she always has this VIP section which is totally unnecessary, totally. We are all VIPs. My girl guide blog would just be the shit. Now I have an idea!

I've been meaning to write about this event since last week, but then the pictures were released and got me all miffed that they missed me and now I am even more inspired to write.
