Blaque is the new black.
From the moment you walked down into Club Feathers you knew you were walking into something different? Sometimes different is good and sometimes it’s not. I wasn’t quite sure which different this one was…It was dark – my first thought, “They didn’t pay the bills!” then there was something creepy rubbing my neck- “Oh, great, Spider webs!”-not quite, it was black material. I am always apprehensive when it comes to Black, Blaque, Parties-no matter how you spell the word it means NO LIGHTS!
I can hardly see with the lights on; turning the lights off just means more black and blues on my fragile body and making out with guys I would never give a second look to and ending up going out to dinner even after seeing how ugly they are with the lights on because I don’t want them to think I am superficial even though I am, but I won’t admit that I am!
I digress
I was leaning towards bad different until I saw that Tone-Tone (Tony Albanese from “Cake Boss” http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/tony.albanese ) had baked a cake! Whenever I see Tone-Tone’s cake I know the night is going to be a success and tonight was no different. The cake was on display for all to see and as usual was a one of a kind master-piece. When Tone-Tone, Chris and Luis are together you know that you are going to have a memorable night and hopefully it won’t end with an over-weight man in a uniform asking to see your driver’s license.
I didn’t even get to the stairs when I bumped into Adam Barta, from LOGO (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/adambartafans ) and Kim G from (RHONJ) http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Kim-Granatells/137381789618742), and recording star, Reina http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/reina.music ! Needless to say it took a while before I made it upstairs. Whenever you put Adam and Kim together they just keep you entertained for hours, okay, maybe not hours, but lots of long minutes. They have so many new projects on the burners and so much steamy gossip. Sign up to their pages to learn more.
Antonio Cedeno, looking so freaking hot, was downstairs greeting everyone and smiling for pictures. I am always amazed how great he looks, and how friendly he is with his guests (as he refers to all that come to his events). Antonio introduced me to Scott J. the hot new masseuse he hired for Friday nights and special parties. (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=808393502 ) Scott’s fingers are magic and your body will thank you for the revitalizing experience. Did I mention all he wears is a g-string while he performs his services?
I am telling you time goes by too quickly at Antonio’s parties. Everyone one was in such a great mood and sharing laughs with each other. It took me over an hour to make my way to say hi to Lady Tita in the DJ booth. Just as I was about to enter the DJ booth I was introduced to the one and only Gioia Bruno, the lead on the Exposé singles Let Me Be The One, What You Don't Know, and Tell Me Why. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=518751959 . She is the sweetest and most down to earth recording artist that I have ever met! We chatted and after 5 minutes I felt like I knew her all my life!
I finally got to say hi to DJ Lady Tita, http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=782467529 who was playing as if she was possessed! She banged out one hot mix after another. There was not one dry arm pit in that whole place! Sweat was dripping off people like bbq sauce drips off ribs! It was a hot mess and everyone was in ecstasy!
This is the real life wonder woman, Lady Tita can spin hot sounds while carrying on two conversations, take request, text her messages and crotchet a sweater! She got the show line up and executed the play list as if she had the list all night!
The show line up was phenomenal!
I have to take a moment to compliment Antonio Cedeno on his hosting skills. He has grown so well as an MC and looks so comfortable on stage. He introduced the Hostess for the evening, Dallas DuBois who was hysterical. Her performance was magnificent (how she shook her head for so long is beyond my ability to understand) and was only over shadowed by her brilliance with the microphone. I love New Yorkers who come to New Jersey and act as if we are a different country. She played well with the audience and a good time was had by all!
The first recording artist to perform was Will Sheridan. He had the audience going along with him as he hypnotized the audience with his dynamic voice and smooth moves. WE WANT MORE! MORE! MORE! http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=6100668 …And more was given to us in the name of Lea Lorien performing her hits! http://www.lealorien.com/ …All I can say is listen to her once and her voice will stay with you forever!
After the performances were done, Dallas returned to host the “Best in Black” contest: Guest judges Tone-Tone, Kim G, Adam Barta and Renia kept the audience entertained with juicy “reality show” gossip. The contest winner received two tickets to see Harvey Fierstein in “LaCage Aux Folles”. You really don’t know what you are missing until you experience an Antonio Cedeno Presents party! They are really turning into events.
After the show the judges went downstairs to cut the cake and have fun dishing it out--- cake that is…I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait until the next Antonio Cedeno Presents party! If I could just get a freaking date for one of them!!!
