Revlon Run/Walk for Cancer, Cherry Blossom Festival & Flawless 5th Anniversary Loft Party (5/3/08)

I always have busy weekends but this time I decided to cram all of the week's activities into ONE DAY. I started things off on the charitable tip with my mom, my mom's neighbor and 11 other friends at the Revlon Run/Walk for Women's Cancer. I raised over $1,000 thanks to a bunch of generous friends and co-workers and got to spend the morning walking from Times Square through Central Park. The weather could have been better but the company and the cause made it all worth while. Many thanks to Mom & Kathy for making the trip to the city and to all of the other great people who participated (Chrissy, Krista, Alla, JP, Tracey, Adelma, Yim, Martin, Jackie) and donated (Shannon, Ioulia, Drew & Jen, Leks, Mish, Allison, Mike, Billy, Justin & Jilly, Jamie, Emma, Michelle, Jaime, Eric, Ellen, Colby, Shane, Christina, Eileen, Kim, PJ, Colleen, Jenn & Joe, Regina, Laura, Sunil, Lizzy).











After the race and a little R&R on my couch... my mom, Kathy and I made the trek to Brooklyn to see the 27th annual Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Although we only got to spend a few hours there, it was well worth it to see the 220 cherry trees and various Japanese cultural events activities going on... not to mention the yummy vegetarian bento boxes they were serving! For those who haven't been to this event...it's a spring time must!


After a day filled with charity and culture... it was time for some... debauchery. Not that we ever need a reason, but this time we were celebrating the 5th anniversary of Flawless Media, that lively little nightlife marketing & PR company run by good friends Jen, John and Lisa. I wasn't there for the *original* and now infamous loft party five years ago but I'm fairly certain this year's edition will go down in both the history books and the Book of Bad Ideas. The private loft space, an open bar care of Red Bull and the music of Bennett, Eric Andrew (Sofa King), Stadenco and Hector Romero was MORE than enough to inspire sustained silliness. I had an absolute blast dancing my a$$ off up on the platform in front of the booth with friends both new and old. Joel and Hector both played peak time bomb-age which had everyone going nuts. Of course the night was sprinkled with all sorts of antics some of which will be talked about for years to come... and others of which, well... will also be talked about for years to come. Thanks again to Flawless for the all of the fun and friendship over the years. Much respect! xoxo

Kisses to Phil and Dany (who I met at the Rico Loco party in Montreal and happened to be in NYC this weekend) and to David (one of the newest members of Dancing Rams army) for bringing such an awesome energy to the party! And to TT for ditching her studies to rock out till the end!
