Mardi gras pt2

So it's been a pretty wild note I ran into on of the original regal chiks and my gurl cCedes but what just toke the cake was the dude I'm with trying to feel on my throat like I was a dude or somehting


But after a few margaritas at Asti and a run and coke at Patricks im going to pause blogging about this till tomorrow


Anyways Granted this is almost two weeks later (these next few lines at least) I wanted to let you all know how the rest of my Mardi Gras went....


Overall it was chill, I really had fun in Patricks listening to blues with Scarf, he seemed like a pretty chill guy, paid for my food at Asti and my drinks all night but idk... something about him says that he probably isn't the one for me...(yes for those of you who are wondering I still am with Bear.... granted right now we are on somewhat of a weird space that has me ready to interview his replacement we are still together on some superficial level)


Honestly idk there are just too many thing going on right now...

I got a ton of beeds though without having to show anything hahahahahahahahhahahaha

GIRLS NIGHT OUT

SO SATURDAY NIGHT WAS FUN . MY BEST FRIEND ADRI CAME OUT TO SD TO VISIT SO ME ASHLEY AND ADRI (HA THE TRIPLE A'S) WENT TO TAKE A NIGHT OUT ON THE TIME . FIRST WE WENT TO MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT ASTI'S FOR SOME MARGARITAS AND TIRAMISU. IT WAS SO GOOD !!!! THE STAFF LOVED US THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE WE HAVE A BLAST . THIS IS THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN! AFTER WE DID A LITTLE CLUB HOPPING. WE STARTED AT SIN THE WENT TO FACES THE HAD A BLAST IN V.I.P AT BELO NIGHTCLUB( YOURS TRULY EVEN WILD OUT A BIT) BETWEEN ALL THE WALKING ADRI'S FEET WAS KILLING HER SO WE TOOK ONE OF THOSE BIKE CARTS AND OUR DRIVER EXCUSE ME BIKER (LOL) WAS BRAZILIAN (WINK) . LET ME STOP BUT ANYWAYS IT WAS THE END OF THE NIGHT THAT WAS CRAZY BECAUSE WE MET UP WITH OUR BOYS AND ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS AND WENT TO A STRIP CLUB (YES A STRIP CLUB) LOL. ASH AND ADRI HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ONE. I MEAN IT WAS WHATEVER I HAVE TO GIVE THEM PROPS BECAUSE I KNOW ITS NOT EASY TO DO THE THINGS WE SEEN SOME OF THEM DO ON THE POLE. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT IS THE NIGHT WAS CRAZY FUN!!!

AND YES SIS I SO DID RIP THIS FROM YOUR PAGE BUT OH WELL I'LL DO MINE LATER TONIGHT

11/29 NIGHTLIFE ROUND UP

OKAY SO SATURDAY NIGHT YOUR GIRL HIT THE GASLAMP AND WENT CLUB HOPPIN AND YOU KNOW I HAD TO COME BACK AND LET YOU KNOW THE SKINNY ON WHAT WAS HOT AND WHAT WAS NOT.


SO I STARTED AT ASTI RISTORANTE WHICH IS THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN THE GASLAMP WITH SERVICE TO MATCH. ONLY BAD THING THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT MY TIME THERE IS THAT MY COMPANY WAS WAK!!!! BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIGHT YOU CAN HAVE BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT GO WITH THEIR SIGNATURE CRAB CAKES MADE WITH REAL KING CRAB AND A CLASSIC CEASAR SALAD WITH HOMEMADE CEASAR DRESSING AND FRESH SHREDED PARMESIANO ROMANO AND IT HIT MY SPOT BETTER THAN ANY MAN. THAT WITH A GLASS OF PINOT GRIGIO AND ITALIAN LEMON SORBET FOR DESSERT WILL START YOUR NIGHT OFF RIGHT AND HAVE YOU NOT CRAVING A BUNCH OF GREASY JUNK AT THE END OF YOUR NIGHT.


NEXT WAS DECOS TO PARTY WITH dred carpet, impact, and franchise. DECOS IS A KNOWN POWERHOUSE ON SATURDAY NIGHTS AND EVEN THO I HIT IT UP EARLY (10:30) THERE WAS A DECENT SIZED LINE OUTSIDE. INSIDE THE FIRST ROOM WAS DEAD... SOME PEOPLE STARTING TO DANCE AND EVENMORE OVER AT THE BAR AREA. THE MIDDLE ROOM HAD MUCH MORE DANCING BUT NOTHING THAT MADE ME STOP AND TAKE NOTE. FINALLY I HEADED TO THE OPEN AIR SECTION WHERE I WAS GREETED BY BORRIS FROM franchise AND dj gigi OF dred carpet. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO DECOS SPEND YOUR TIME IN THE VERY BACK ROOM. THE COLD AIR MIGHT THROW YOU AT FIRST BUT TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT... THEY HIDE THE BEST MUSIC IN THERE (WHILE I WAS THERE IT WAS dj dale da dred ON THE ONE'S AND TWOS). I GOT TO HANG OUT WITH A BUNCH OF MY GUYS AND DANCE AND JOKE AROUND... I HAD THE CAMERA BUT THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH THAT CAUGHT MY EYE....(PHOTAG WISE UNLESS YOU'RE UP HI OR IN THE MOOD TO DO SMALL GROUPS ITS NOT SO HOT) ACCEPT THIS YUMMY LIGHT SKINNED PROMOTER WHO I WAS CAUGHT DANCING WITH LATER THAT NIGHT. THE VIP IN DECOS WAS IN FULL SWING AND THE MUSIC FLOW WAS COOL.... EVERYTHING THAT WAS BEING PLAYED I WAS FEELING IT JUST WAS STUFF THAT WAS ON THE OLDER SIDE (LIKE UP TO 3 YEARS BACK) WHICH EARLY IN THE NIGHT WORKS BUT ME I LIKE MIXING CURRENT AND OLD ALL NIGHT LONG.


11:15 I WAS OF TO SIN WITH A COUPLE OF THE GUYS AND THE HOTTIE PROMOTER I MET. SIN IS A GREAT LOCATION FOR A FASHION SHOW IN A CLUB PERSONALLY. THE PLATFORMS ARE SET UP PERFECTLY TO SHOW OFF THE CLOTHES AND THE GIRLS. WALKING IN THE HOTTIE DITCHED ME, MY BOY THAT ROLLED WITH US, AND WENT TO GO GIG AT SOME CHIK..... HIS HOMEBOY STAYED AND TRIED TO MAKE ME FEEL WELCOME BUT I WAS OVER IT... THE CLUB HAD PEOPLE BUT THE VIBE IN SIN WASN'T HOT.... THAT TELLS ME THAT THE PROMOTER FOR THE NIGHT REALLY DIDN'T GO FOR ANY PATICULAR CROWD AND JUST LOOKED FOR BODIES TO FILL THE CLUB. LUCKILY I RAN INTO MY GIRLS preach AND stephanie AND WE DECIDED TO LEAVE AND JOURNEY ON


11:35 FACES WAS DOING A SPECIAL SATURDAY EDITION OF FIX. I WAS GLAD FOR TO HEAR HIP HOP AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HIP HOP THAT WAS ON MY WATS HOT NOW LIST. STAR-DOM WAS THEIR NORMAL SOCIAL AND ENERGIZEDC SELVES AND MY GIRLS AND I ENJOYED A COUPLE VODKA PINEAPPLES, PATRON SHOTS, AND RUM AND COKE BEFORE DARTING OUT.


12:00 BELO WAS NUTS AS USUAL FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS TIME I WAS IN THE VIP IN THE MAIN ROOM WITH dj fingaz ON THE TABLEZ. I REALLY DIDN'T VENTURE AROUND TO THE OTHER ROOMS OUTSIDE OF GOING TO FIND PREACH AND STEPHANIE ONCE OR TWICE CUZ I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT MUSIC WISE.... SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH I HAD A LOT OF FUN THO ( MORE THAN LIKELY BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN I WAS FADED OFF MORE VODKA & CRAN) AND STARTED TO TAKE PICS THROUGHOUT THE VIP WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR ar. HONESTLY I SEE WHY PEOPLE GO TO BELO YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM NOT SEEING THE SAME PEOPLE YOU DID LAST WEEK, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON AND SOMEWHERE TO GO. I JUST WISH THE MUSIC WAS TIGHT IN ALL THE ROOMS AND NOT JUST ONE. PARTYING IN VIP WAS CRAZY AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT I CHECKED OUT ON A GOOD ONE

2:00AM SO I HAD TO GO CHECK OUT MY HIDEAWAY MINUS ONE. THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THIS SPOT RIVALS THE IVY, W AND WITHERBY. AND WITH IT HOLDING DOWN THE AFTER HOURS SLOT IN THE GASLAMP IT IS THE ULTIMATE PLACE TO GO IF YOU AREN'T READY TO GO HOME AT NORMAL END CLUB HOURS. REAL TALK I LOVE THE SET UP OF MINUS ONE, ITS SIMPLE SHIEK BUT STILL SUPPER POPPIN. NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT SOMEHTING THAT IS HIP HOP OR BOARDLINE HIP HOP MINUS ONE AFTER HOURS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU, TECHNO IS THE NAME OF THE GAME BUT WHEN YOU'RE ON A GOOD ONE LIKE ME ITS PERFECT FOR YOU TO DANCE OUT THAT LAST BIT OF ALCHOOL. PLUS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MEET THERE THE MIX OF PEOPLE THERE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN GOOD QUALITY COMPANY NOT AMONG A BUNCH OF POSERS.


4:30 FINALLY I WAS BACK AT THE HOUSE AND DOING YET MORE PATRON SHOTS WITH MY ROOMATE AND WATCHING INDIANA JONES LAUGHING MY ASS OF AT THE EVENTS OF THE NIGHT.

TALK ABOUT YOUR LONG NIGHT BUT THEN AGAIN WHEN YOU'RE A regal chik YOU HAVE TO ROK THE NIGHT.

MISADVENTURES: IN DATING (oops)

SOO WEN I WAS AT MY MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT I RECIEVED A TEXT FROM opps A GUY I DATED ABOUT 18 MONTHS OR SO AGO. TELLING ME HOW PISSED OFF HE WAS AT THE FACT I HAD FLAKED AGAIN ON MEETING UP WITH HIM FRIDAY NIGHT. (RUNWAY OR BOY RUNWAY OR BOY UMMMMMM RUNWAY) I TOLD HIM THAT WE COULD MEET DOWNTOWN FOR DINNER WEN I WAS FINISHED WITH MY SHOOT.

SO OF COURSE I PICKED MY FAVORITE PLACE ASTI TO HEAD FOR DINNER. LUCKILY I BEAT HIM AND SNAGGED A GREAT TABLE OUTSIDE SO I COULD LOOK ACROSS THE STREET AND PEOPLE WATCHED WHILE I WAITED ( THIS DOUBLED AS A GREAT DISTRACTION FOR THE GAY AND BITCHASS PARTS OF DINNER).

**REALLY QUICKLY I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS TO ONCE AGAIN COMMEND AND BRAGG ABOUT THE EXCELLENT SERVICE OF THIS PLACE!!!! NOT ONLY DID THE WHOLE STAFF MAKE SURE I WAS COMFORTABLE WHILE I WAITED THEY GAVE ME GREAT SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND EVEN CAME IN TO RESCUE ME A COUPLE TIMES FROM SOME OF THE MANY LAME MOMENTS OF DINNER*** I LOVE THE WHOLE STAFF AT ASTI!!!****


SO JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO ORDER AND SAY FUCK HIM, (opps WAS ALREADY LIKE 30 MINUTES LATE AND I WAS COLD AND HUNGRY) HE WALKED UP LOOKING NOT HOT BUT DECENT.... LIKE SOME GUY YOU COULD TAKE HOME AND MOM WOULD BE RELEAVED HE WASN'T A THUG OR SOMEHTING (PERSONALLY MY MOM WOULDA PROBABLY JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID UGH OR SOMETHING). OFF TOP DUDE LOOKS AT THE MENU AND HIS EYES ALMOST CAME OUT

o: " SO YOU'RE BALLIN NOW"

A:" NOT EVEN"

AT THIS POINT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT I WAS GOING TO BE PAYING FOR DINNER TONIGHT. WHICH WAS FINE BECAUSE I REALLY WASN'T THAT HUNGRY AFTER SEEING HIS FACE HONESTLY.

THE OWNER AND ABOUT THREE WAITERS CHECKED ON US THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. IT WAS QUITE FUNNY ACTUALLY... YOU COULD TELL THAT THEY DIDND'T APPROVE OF MY CHOICE IN COMPANY FOR THE EVENING.

opps AND I TALKED ABOUT HIS LITTLE BEDROOM MISHAP FROM BEFORE AND ABOUT THE VARIOUS CHANGES THAT WE BOTH HAD MADE IN OUR RESPECTIVE LIVES. IT AMAZED ME HOW POMPOUS HE WAS.... IT WAS DISGUSTING. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH GOING ON A HUMANITARIN TRIP WITH THE NAVY CHANGED HIS OUTLOOK ON LIFE HELPING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN HIMSELF BUT THEN HE JUST COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW HE PAID FOR THIS AND THAT AND HOW HE UPGRADED FROM A BENZ TO A BEAMER AND MIGHT GET A CHARGER JUST TO FUCK AROUND IN. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IN HIS CONVERSATION HE JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT HIMSELF AND MAKE ME FEEL STUPID FOR NOT WANTING TO BE WITH HIM BEFORE.

BUT I COULD CARELESS I REALIZED ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS PERSON REALLY WAS AN opps IN MORE FORMS THAN ONE. SO I WAS RELIEVED TO GET THE CHECK AT THE END OF THE NIGHT (WHICH YES I ENDED UP PAYING FOR... UNBEKNOWEST TO HIM THAT MY FOOD HAD BEEN COMPED HAHAHAHAHA). WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE CHECK TO BE BROUGHT BACK I SAW ONE OF MY BOYS ACROSS THE STREET AT DECOS AND CALLED HIM TO SAY HI... HE CHASTISED ME FOR BEING RUDE AND THEN CAME TO GIVE ME A HUG ( THEN IN DECOS LATER ASKED WHY I WAS WITH A LAME LIKE THAT).

opps WANTED A KISS AND I TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD HAVE IT LATER TONIGHT WHEN WE MET UP AFTER OUR RESPECTIVE CLUB ADVENTURES... A GUARENTEE THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE ME. HE SAID FINE AND OFFERED TO DRIVE ME HOME LATER THAT NIGHT SINCE HE NEEDED TO KNOW WHERE IT WAS ANYWAYS SO HE COULD PICK ME UP FOR THE CHARGER GAME THE NEXT DAY, I WAS COOL WITH THAT.


LATER THAT NIGHT HE GOT DRUNK AND MAD THAT I ANSWERED A CALL FROM secret, WHO I HAD SEEN LEAVING BELO (HE WAS MAKING SURE I GOT HOME SAFE CUZ HE HAD SEEN ME WALKING TO FIND THIS ASSWIPE BY MYSELF) WOULDN'T GO BACK TO HIS PLACE AND SLEEP (SO HE COULD TRY TO SLEEP WITH ME AGAIN) AND DECIDED HE WOULD LEAVE ME STRANDED DOWNTOWN.... THE PEOPLE AT MINUS ONE SAVED ME FROM HIM AND THEN I MET UP WITH MY ROOMATE AND WENT HOME...

NEEDLESS TO SAY I DIDN'T GO TO THE GAME.... AND NEEDLES TO SAY opps JUST MADE HIS 2ND AND 3RD STRIKE AND IS SOOOOOOO OUT LIKE A DESIGNER ON PROJECT RUNWAY.

SOL VIEW: ASTI RISTORANTE

SO I AM ADDICTED TO ITALIAN FOOD... AND VERY VERY PICKY ABOUT ITALIAN FOOD MORE IMPORTANTLY.... AND ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I DECLARED A NEW FAVORITE RESTURANT.

ASTI RISTORNANTE IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO IS THE EPTITOME OF EXQUISITE DINNING AND SERVICE. I WAS SO HEARTBROKEN THAT I HAD TO MISS THEIR WINE TASTING EVENT LAST NIGHT (DUE TO A HORRIBLE APPOINTMENT AT THE DENTIST) HAD TO DO A REVIEW ON THEM.

SO HERE'S THE SKINNY

CUISINE: ITALIAN

WHERE: SAN DIEGO, CA (728 5TH AVE)

ATMOSPHERE: RUSTIC ELEGANCE (YOU'LL LOVE THE MURALS ON THE WALLS AND THE QUAINT TABLE SETTINGS.)

BEST TIME TO GO: FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE CLUBS DOWNTOWN 8PM-10:30PM (TRY TO GET A SEAT OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO SO U CAN PEOPLE WATCH THE GASLAMP)

THE GOOD: HANDS DOWN THE FOOD.... WITH OUT ANY SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE FOOD AT THIS PLACE IS AN EXPLOSION OF DELIGHTS AND TEMPTATIONS FOR YOUR MOUTH. GO ONCE AND YOU'LL BE BACK AGAIN.

THE BAD & UGLY: THE SIZE OF THE RESTURANT... WHILE I LIKE THE SMALL ATMOSPHERE I PERSONALLY ONLY WANT IT BIGGER BECAUSE IS SO SHECK DE COOL.

THE FOOD: LIKE I SAID WHEN IT COMES TO ITALIAN FOOD I AM BEYOND PICKY BUT THE FOOD IS FILLING AND HAS MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS TO IT. THE LAST TIME I VISITED I HAD

Cavatelle Michelangelo 22.95

Homemade semolina and ricotta cheese dumpling pasta with sun dried tomatoes, brandy, diced chicken, light marinara sauce and a touch of cream

WHICH WAS SO FILLING AT THE TIME I REGRETTED NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING ANY HOME. THE CREAM SAUCE WAS PERFECT TEXTURE... NOT TOO THICK AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING WATERY. WE PAIRED IT WITH Pinot Grigio, Armani “Vigneto Corvara” - Val d’Adige WHICH REALLY BROUGHT OUT THE SWEETNESS IN THE MARINARA AND THE SULTRINESS OF THE SUNDRIED TOMATTOES. THE CHICKEN HAD GREAT CONSISTANCEY AND WASN'T CHEWY OR CHALKY TO THE TASTE.

DESSERT OF COURSE I HAD TO GO WITH TIRAMISU

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: GOING TO ASTI ISN'T JUST A PLACE FOR GOOD FOOD BUT IT'S ALSO A PLACE FOR GREAT SERVICE AS WELL.... THE OWNERS AND STAFF THEIR ARE NOT ONLY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT THE CUISINE THEY ARE BEYOND FRIENDLY AND ACCOMADATING. FOR ME I CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE FRIENDS YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THERE SERVICE PROBABLY MORE SO THAN THEIR FOOD JUST BECAUSE THEY DO GO THAT EXTRA MILE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILY NOT JUST A BILL. (ME PICTURED WITH THE OWNER WHILE STOPPING IN FOR A LATE DESSERT ON HALLOWEEN)

THE BOTTOM LINE: WHETHER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ROMANCE OR A WARM SETTING ASTI IS YOUR BEST BET.

CIAO BELLA!!!
