SHHHHHH!!!I'm trying to quietly blog through my
alcohol induced hangover.
(Most people had hangovers from their
New Year's celebration- my hangover
STARTED around Halloween...)
I know it's the new year but I have to wrap up
some of last year's OLD business.
I know... I know... if I would have kept up with
my blogging- I'd be current- BUT
I have to have time to actually LIVE the life I
write about :)
Let's see-
It has officially been one year...
since I started blogging!!
YAY!! It's my Blog-a-versary!!
The last trip I left off with was Indianapolis, Indiana
and I must say... it was pretty fun :)
Here are few of the pics...
Me and Jack
Me and Darryl ("
Footz")
(one of
THE best drummers in the industry)
Me and Ann-Marie
from Chi-Town!!!
(she is the QUEEN of French Martinis...
but I am the PRINCESS!)
Me, Leone and
Charletteand of course....
A STAGE SHOT!!!
Since it was the last show of 2006
(with this band) of course we had to party...
but I can only show 1 pic from that! :)
So here it is:
Me, Jeffrey, Scott and Mikey
Then the next day I got a call from
my friend Marcellina,
(who is a
FANTASTIC vocalist-
and sings with Natalie Cole)
to be a singer in the Colors of Christmas show
with
Pebo Bryson, James Ingram, Stephanie Mills
and Denise Williams.
I won't post a lot of pics... cause' I'm lazy :)
These pics were taken the last day
of the tour... and I was
lookin' crazy!
Marcellina,
Pebo and Me
James and Me
THEN the
NEXT day- I taught a class!
I snapped this picture as they were coming in-
Here is a
Sangindiva "real life" fact-
Before I decided I was only going to sing
for a living- I was a teacher.
So (when I can fit it in) at the end of the semester,
I give a master class to Beginning
and Advanced vocal/music high school students.
Then the
NEXT day...
I had a studio session with Howard Hewett
and Ralph Johnson (of Earth,Wind and Fire)
to work on two more songs for Howard's album.
Ralph, Me and Howard
Because I live in
Los Angeles-
I was able to see
Dreamgirls before it came out
on
Christmas- So my sister and I went to see it.
We got
souvenir books and numbered lithograph pictures
too- We also bought the T-shirt that was only available during
the special
pre-screenings.
Me and
KymiaI spent Christmas with Dionne Warwick and clan.
(It's a long story how I know them...)
but I took no pictures because-
well, it would have been weird...
I mean, that's Auntie Dionne n'
nem.
AND NO-WHITNEY WASN'T THERE!!(but if she was -I would have taken a picture of
THAT!!)
I brought in the New Year partying with the
homies @
the Friar's club in Beverly Hills.
If you like basketball players then New Years Eve was
your night! I personally know
NOTHING about sports
and didn't know 90% of the players there...
I ONLY took pictures with people at MY table...
(cause I didn't know anybody else!!)
My friend Kim Johnson (of the group J.S.),
Corey
Maggette and I started the night off
with the
PRE-drink photo...
(Although if I were to be honest-
I had already had 2 sex on the beaches
and a couple of dances :)
Me, Corey and Kim
A couple of martini's later...
Me and Quentin Richardson-
(He'd better be glad I don't do athletes!)
The party was
CRACKIN' ...
Me and Elise Neal
The clock strikes 12, the
Patron was passed,
and I should have just said
NOOOOOO...
but I didn't. *sigh*
THAT is why
NO "after
Patron" pictures will be shown.
On New Years Day-
My friend and blogger
GLAM prepared a wonderful brunch!
So I stopped by to feed my hangover with food
and CHAMPAGNE!!!
We must have killed at LEAST 3 bottles!
hahaha!
Ms.
Thang is the greatest hostess!!
She made Greens, Mac & Cheese, Yams,
Black Eyed Peas (for good luck) and cornbread
that was TO DIE FOR!! Thanks Glam!!
Well,
The holidays are over- back to work!
I am on my way to Mississippi and Memphis.
See
yall when I get back!!
