Salsa Time!!...aye! aye!

I had the most fun this weekend hanging out with my college friends at Columbus 72 Nightclub in the city! This sophisticated club featured the latest hip-hop, r&b, and pop music on one side, and then the hottest, (ok like I know whats hot latin music!, lol...hey it sounded hot to me:) Latin music on the other! We began the night on the hip-hop side, but I knew we wouldnt stay there for long since 2 out of 4 of us were of Spanish heritage....so off to the other we went! Now, Im not one to brag, but I have dabbled in a Salsa lesson here and there, he he he. I think I impressed myself, dancing, swaying, spinning, and dipping all in my 4 inch leopard stilletos! But that lasted all of about 1 hour!!, lol...I thought I was doing something too!, lol...I cant hang like I used to! We got there at 11pm, on the dot mind you....and by like 1:30am we were heading for the dinner!!, lol....man....the life of an almost (30) year old!

Check it Out!

P.S. "I'm so jealous"

I chose this picture for two reasons, she looks fab and RED is the color of envy. Have you ever been out and about and came across a woman that made you say to yourself "I'm so jealous!" whether it's because she has great hair, gorgeous looks, sexy shoes or a fab handbag? Well I see beautiful women in my city everyday. I love living in Atlanta because there are tons of beautiful men and women here which makes for great people watching. I sat in one of the popular malls, Lenox Mall, last weekend to take it all in and I was so inspired. I saw someone dressed in an almost harajuku girl look, lots with those black liquid leggings of course, long sweaters and my favorite seems to be how the young Asian women dress. I love their style!
On the other hand don't you love it when you have your own "Make You LOOK" moment on the days when you look and feel fabulous and catch someone's admiring eyes on you. Doesn't that just make you feel awesome?!

Whats New in YOUR City?

So after some "after work" drinks, I decided what the heck, and to take my friend up on an offer for dinner. Seeing as how i dont get out that much, any place i go to is always a new experience for me, as was the case with UPTOWN, a lounge on the upper east side in NYC. I liked the atmosphere and the vibe was cool, as it provided a loungy, bar like feel, with club appeal. The patrons varied from the "after-workers" to the "getting ready for the clubbers". You can dine at the bar or opt for cozy booth-like seating. They have special signature UPTOWN martinis, of which I had 2, and they were quite delish. For dinner I had a chicken with pasta dish, which couldve been better but still was satisfying. Overall, I would recommend the trendy UPTOWN Lounge for a girls night out or for some after work specials...it was pretty cool indeed...

Then fueled up with the energy from the UPTOWN Lounge, I felt the night was young, and so was I! So I decided to give one of my girlfriends a visit at the club she was working at for the night, and this Friday happened to be Club Aura. I must say...a lot has changed since our days of "Speeed", lol, and as I sat at the door as she worked and took the party-goers $20, $30, and even $40!...prices I surely dont recall ever paying then or now, one thing was made apparent...I sure wasnt young anymore!
