Now lets get town!

Last weekend was event packed for this Outstager. One event brought the erotic and the other brought the elite.

There's Yours Truly with Gloveboxx AE's Gyb Byrd at her group's annual Septemberotica.


Last Friday, I checked out Gloveboxx AE's annual Septemberotica that was held at Third Degree Glass Factory in Midtown St Louis. The focus was indulging in the erotic side of people from body painting, pole dancing, Partition simulations, vendors selling and promoting (from condoms to free spankings ) various items , erotic poetry and oral competitions (vag and peen).

And did I mention free condoms? LOL

This model was a part of the table display consisted of various candies, sweets and chocolates.

So, when I arrived I was welcomed by some young ladies at the entrance table who offered a Chinese box so I can fill it up with all the treats they had in store. Then I look up and saw dancer Maurice Dunlap looking like a urban Chippendale's dancer (without the bow tie) who greeted folks when after leaving the entrance. It was nice crowd when I arrived (eventually about 300 packed the spot). So as I walked through I saw all the displays and it definitely gave the feel of an underground dungeon just without the sex and drugs. LOL

The mistress of ceremonies was poet and actress BlaquePearl who was in a sexy black unitard and white robe. She entered with Dunlap with a leash around his neck and he walked on his hands and knees as became her boy toy setting the tone of what the audience was going to expect.

They offered free spankings for the guests.

Yours Truly with vendor Mareeka Coe. She repped Paparazzi Jewelry.

After the schmoozing, the entertainment portion of the event took place. They had various poets to perform erotic type poetry (the best was Poet Lightning who also got the crowd together for being loud during  the mic sessions), Nakischa Joseph performed (I dont remember what she sang it was a quick as fingersnap), and the highlights were the contests!

Pole dancers and guest

St Louis  based photographers were also featured on display.

Poet, Lightning

Two volunteers in the oral contest. The lady on the left won hands down (pun intended LOL)

A burlesque dancer getting the crowd engaged in her performance.

One of the contests were who can do the best oral on the vag and the peen. So they had genital toys and had two females participate (Interesting that no man wanted to participate in oralizing the vag toy). Another one was who can do the best orgasm. They had two ladies and a guy. One of the ladies asked too many questions on what she should be doing while the other was acting very "virginey" But the winner was the guy who ended by saying, "Spit on it." That made the crowd go up!

The last performance, and the most erotic,was of Dunlap and a young lady  (PICTURED)acting out a skit of them in a limo ( I assume) as Beyonce's "Partition" played. It was quite intense as both were very flexible in their moves. Dunlap twirled her and swung her around and ended by picking her up with her crotch in his face and he walking off.  But from my perspective I believe the ladies wanted a bit more.

Overall this was a great event especially for those who indulge in their sexual freak side. Now I did overhear a few ladies say they wished the guys who were on display (King and Dunlap) showed more skin like the ladies who were on display. But I must say for an event where males and females were and many couples it was interesting that the eroticism catered toward feminine sexuality regarding the female body. As far as any alternative action there was a moment where the burlesque dancer stuck her arse in front of a female audience member and a alternative woman simulated sucking vag during the contest.


And shout out to the bartender for the free vodka and cran!

In the house were DJ Reminisce on the music, educator  Nicci Roach and Hot 104.1 personality Meghan O.



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then on Saturday...I checked out A Taste of Luxury that was held at the St Louis Hotel's Autograph Collection Room. 

,

YOURS TRULY with media personality Tammie Holland who hosted A Taste of Luxury.


I got to the venue around 7pm ish and saw there was a line out front of people waiting to enter. Well, as some of you know I don't do lines. Nooooo. So when I found a parking space around the corner, I walked up and saw Frontline's Brian Stemmons and knew I was good to cut the line and walk in to get VIPed.

I walk through and saw the set up which was quite...well...elegant. Plush carpet, hanging chandeliers and soft lighting. They had two bar set ups, one in the lobby and one in main room. And I was like, its going to be a long wait to get a drink (a free one at that which came with the VIP along with a seat)

Now, before I continue, let me say, I have been doing entertainment reporting for years and I have come to the conclusion that there is a pecking order when it comes to VIP. You have VIP and you have V-VIP. VIP had seating but V-VIP section looked like a Hollywood set with white lighting around the tables and glass like chairs. So I was like, Hmmm. The VIP divide here. LOL

The event was sponsored by Remy Martin and promoted Cash Cohnes Entertainment. The event was two fold. It brought in singer Kelly Price to perform and to celebrate Remy Martin exec Lisa West's bday.

Meanwhile, people were getting their grub on with the free food they had which consisted of black bean hamburgers,  and black bean based meat for tacos. 


I have become a fan of black beans!

As people got their schmooze and look on, and people were getting into the mix, DJ Charlie Chan got the dance floor ablaze when he put on Mariah's Fantasy Slide mix and some house music. That got folk in their line dance mode in their best dressed.

I saw a few people who I recognized at the event who I greeted including fashionista (and the very single) Teresa Teresa, businesswoman Raqelle Wallace, businessmen Michael Walton and Eddie Hollman (Hollman partnered with Cohnes on the event), house party guru Anthony Robinson and STL-TV's Tim Lampley. I even saw one of the ladies who gave me access to the Gloveboxx event who made it known. LOL

Around the 9oclock hour it was getting a bit warm in the main room with so many people packed in there so I trekked to the lobby area where I could get some air. Some even sat in an area next the door way to get air. But I did see Cohnes outside on the phone which meant one thing--Kelly Price was in route.

Before she performed, there were two opening acts, one was singer Jones who sang the event's jingle and a live band Dacota  with a white neo soul singer. The band was quite good and gave some serious cover on Earth Wind and Fire's "Cant Hide Love."

Then, around say 10pmish...the lady of the hour arrived (Check out vid below)

Price started off her 30 minute set with her hit "Its My Time."

Price also sang her hits, "You Should Have Told Me" and "As We Lay."

The highlight of Price's set was when she sang, "Happy Birthday" to West on stage.

Before she left the stage, Price took a pic with West, Holland and Cohnes.

Then I was waiting on her to return at least to perform her biggest hit, "A Friend of Mine"

But that wasnt to happen. Well, at least we got Holland to sang a few bars of it before she introduced Price. LOL

When Price exited to backstage with her security, West and about 20 or so people followed Price backstage for I assume a meet n greet. I was near the door to try and join, but I decided not to and decided to party more.

YOURS Truly during the after party of Taste of Luxury.

Also, a shout out to Bfree Paparazzi for taking my pic (twice) and dapping me out in the compliments!

For this week, I have one.

The first was, I was in downtown St Louis on 11th and  Market Street as the light turned green and  there was this white guy who was about to cross the street after getting some food from the food truck that was in front of the corporate Bank of America building,. Well, just when he was about to take his fist step out into the street,  this car had to have been going at least 90 MPH (mind you this is a 40 MPH street) and if that guy would have taken another step, he would have been road kill. I am sure that guys heart fell out his chest from that but the response he gave the passing car was a very high-in-the-sky-F-YOU flipped bird hand sign.

LOL

08:OUT ON THE TOWN

HEY OUTSTAGRS!

ITS THURSDAY!!

TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!

YOURS TRULY with current Mr Couture winner Chris Showtime Tucker last weekend

who was in St Louis to shoot his solo calendar, one of his prizes. Yours Truly was the photographer.

Last Weekend, I was more in photographer mode not focusing much on going to spots because I knew it was going to be a long photo shoot shooting Chris Tucker's solo calendar, one of the prizes he won for becoming representative of my Mr Couture brand.

It had taken place last Friday afternoon and lasted until late evening. My goal was to finish in enough time to regroup and hopefully trek to Alton, Ill to cover hip hop rapper Nelly's concert at its ampitheater.

Well, that hope was not alive. LOL

But getting back to the photo shoot, one of the shooting locations was the Citygarden Park in downtown St Louis shooting a Fouth of July shot at the splash water area. While shooting, this tall, model type sista named Consella (with emphasis on ELLA and not to be confused with the name Consuella LOL) walked up toward us and asked what we were doing. Well, I told her that I was shooting a calendar for the model in question. Well, she was obviosuly quite enamored by who she saw (and the Fouth of July swintrunks Im sure got her going. LOL). well after a some pleasantries in conversation (even finding out she and Tucker had unrelated relatives who live in parts of maryland where he is from) she asked if she could sit in to see teh shoot. I obliged, even gave he rmy biz card on hopes of her buying a potentail calednar.

Well, her ladylike demeanor quickly turned into a dictating director. 

Not good.

Tucker at his photo shoot at Citypark 

More or less, she wanted him to walk a certain way, pose a certain way and act a certain way while doing the shoot. So after abruptly ending the shoot, we said goodbye to her and she exchanged her IG with Tucker and demanded that he contact her.

Well, it was quite obvious that she wanted to have her own photo shoot with him, 

But Tucker was cordial and said his focus was on the calendar than on an after calendar rendezvous.

As far as his solo calendar, be on the look out for it sometime next month. We will post info on pre orders on OUTSTAGN BLOGSPOT this month!

Two interesting tidbits on Tucker that you may find interesting.....he dressed up as Nelly during Halloween  (band-aid under the eye Nelly ) and his cousin is actor Jessie T Usher who was best known in the Starz Tv series "Survivors Remorse."

For those who are unaware, OUTSTAGN BLOGSPOT was first created July of 2005 and in those 15 years I covered on entertainment based stories, events, travels, and special countdown postcreateds. I have  a segment called REWINDERZ

I have a Random Journey that occurred this week.

I drove to a food spot to pick up an order in the Central West End of St Louis, a pizza place and they were about to close. Well, the door was closed. I rang its doorbell (yes, doorbell) and they allowed me in. They explained they close the door because of occasional homeless people drifting in asking for money or food. 

As I was waiting for the food, I felt as though I was at the sauna . It was steaming hot in there. The two employees was breaking down everything and cleaning up as they were about to close. What was funny was the sista kept walking back and forth to check me out and she was trying to give her serious Im Sexy but Exhausted Look to me but my focus was on not to pass out from the makeshift sweat box in that store. 

Well, as I waited...and waited...and waited almost 15 minutes for the pizza, a delivery guy walked in the back  area and picked up some food. I didnt think nothing of it.

Then, the male employee said it would be a few more minutes for my food. Well, come to find out, my food was done--and picked up by the delivery guy!!

Well, I was heated, well, heated even more with the accompanied vapors from that store. So, they called the delivery guy on the phone to tell him to hi tail back to the store because he picke dup the wring order.

Around time, its 20 minutes later. I was about to say FUCK the pizza and was going to bounce until the male employee asked if I wanted something cold to drink.

In my mind I wanted to say, how about a whole refrigerator full. 

Well, the driver came back and the employee handed my pizza to me and said that it was still hot and reimbursed me for my trouble then I drove off to devour.

LOL

07:OUT ON THE TOWN

HEY OUTSTAGRS!


IT'S THURSDAY!!

TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!




Last weekend during the Labor Day Weekend, was filled with outdoor events, day and house parties. 

i was able to either cruise through, attend or hear about the ones that interested me. 

 Last Saturday after doing my gym time and errands, I drove by the Greek Festival that was going on in the Central West End off Forest Park Avenue Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church next to St. as always, there was nowhere to park so a snap drive by shot was all I could do, but it looked festive with all the vendors, live music and food food food (Gyros and Baklava galore!). After a few minutes circling the blocks to try and find a parking space I decided to just prep for the events later that evening.

The first evening stop was the Tennessee Honey Neighborhood Flavor  outside party held at The Marquee in the Central West End where more of the younger urban crowd were partying. They had tents up and I decided to go in, but when I saw the crowd was a bit young and I saw that the police were checking in people to enter, I decided to just stakeout and snap a few shots. From what I saw folks were getting free sips and tastes across the city and sounds were provided by DJ Arty J and Kimmy. 


About thirty minutes later around 10ish PM....I checked out house party organizer Anthony Robinson's party (AKA The Black Hefner LOL)  that he had at his Architect House in the Central West End. 



                             
                          YOURS TRULY with house party host Anthony Robinson

Before I walked to the house, I didnt realize I parked my car on the curb in front of St Louis American's Kenya Vaughn. As I was looking though my cell phone I head the voice, "Hey Ma'at!"

I looked up and it was her. I then said, "Hey there. How is it?" She replied, "Its nice." 

Then she drove off. 

Nice? Hmm ok. To me, that was code word for "not packed." But then again, the party started around 8pm (and ended at 1am) and most people start going to a house party a couple hours in.


When I walked in, it was moderately packed about 100 or so. Then it dawned on me that the house party was in competition with the Tani Sushi Bar Summer Series crowd, so most of the socialites were probably there. Back in the day, his parties were wall to wall packed not being able to walk, but that was in the early 2010s.

I saw the hosts Robinson and Lisa Gardner and greeted them and got myself acquainted with the atmosphere. DJing was Enoch who I dapped when he saw me.  Then, I went to the drinks and food to get juiced up and weigh my stomach with some meatballs, chicken, Chinese rice  and lasagna.

        Kalonda King and her band entertained the crowd during the house party.

So, I did my back and forth from the front room to the outside backyard where people were mainly hanging out (Who was the sista who poked my stomach? LOL).

Later on, Kalonda King and her band got the live music going, She sang some party favorites like Jill Scott, Prince, Sade and the highlight was when she brought up a house party male dweller to perform "Call Tyrone." Had him sit down in a chair and began singing to him and then had her back turned and the part of the song where the song line goes,"Then come around and ask me for some ass...." she bent over and stuck her arse near his face (and it was quite nice arse and the guy smiled because of it LOL)
After she performed for about 30 minutes, Enoch returned to the 1s and 2s and yours truly decided to exit.

Some of the familiar faces that I saw when I was there were socialites Joseph Jennings, Kevie Hendrix and Noretha Hopson ( I heard you were there LOL)


======

On Sunday, I wanted to check out the Graphic Tee day party that was held at Delmar Hall, but was too Saturday night hung from the house party, but I did hear the party was quaint, It started at 4pm until 10pm and that most people came early and left around 8pm. Charlie Chan was the DJ of the event.  

I have a Random Journey that occurred this week.

I drove to a food spot in East St Louis called Pops 5  and as I waiting for an order, there was a sign in front of the counter that advertised their lunch special and as you see in the picture , ONE,  lunch is spelled LONCH and TWO, the ending time for lunch was changed from  2 AM to 2 PM.

Now, lets discuss.

We've all done  typos when it comes to getting a flier or paper or a letter together, but my thing is, were they this unconcerned of just redoing the flier with the correct spelling of LUNCH?  I Googled what LONCH is a Masculine noun  in Spanish  involving food. 

So I assume LONCH means LUNCH.

And then the time change. Who had the idea to have lunch up until 2AM? How about breakfast? Or again, it couldve been the business owners was just not feeling up to making changes before getting the Sharpie Marker  to the  PM. 

Maybe that time is when LONCH is served.


LOL
