Raising Raul

After attending the VMA'S I can't get enough beyonce.I have always liked her but I thought she was over rated and received way to much attention. Her first album Dangerously in love had some good songs but as an album it was not all that. Her latest Album B-day is somewhat the same thing, some strong songs and the rest is just OK. The difference on this album is that a lot of the songs have more emotion and more of her story, what she might be going through. It just feels like she put more of her recent experiences into her album. There are some great tracks like the famous Ring the alarm (that song is everything) Get Me Bodied is sure to get anyone on their feet, & Irreplaceable will have you singing along all day. As an artist I think Beyonce is truly shinning and we all can't wait to see Dream Girls this Christmas. Her album is cute and if you're 17 then it might be the album of the year for you. B-Day receives a B -

The 2006 MTV Video Music Awards will be held at New York's Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, August 31. Yes ladies and gentlemen this Thursday I will be attending the MTV video music awards @ Radio City Music Hall and I am so excited!! I have no idea what to wear. It has been a dream of mine to attend this award show ofcourse in the dream I was a celebrity myself but hey just going is good enough at this point. Some of my favorite artist like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, & Shakira will be performing. Maybe I’ll even bump into Miss Janet Jackson again! Anyway I am taking my friend Vivika and Boyfriend of almost four years Ruben. Unfortunately MTV does not permit cameras inside the show so I don’t know what I am going to do as far as pictures. (Sorry Guys) I have good seats so watch out for me on television and enjoy the show. Here’s some knowledge on the award show.

A Beauty to watch out for Amber Milan who with time just keeps getting better. Latex Ball Review Yesterday night was the 15th annual house of latex ball. With that said it is the longest running annual ball in ballroom history following that would be The Annual Jack and Andre Awards ball which celebrated their 14th year last May. A congratulations is in order based on longevity alone. With all those years of experience and history the biggest ball around and the most popular ball (next to the now famous POCC ball) for me disappointingly fell short of the fire and ballroom magic that once filled the Rose-land ballroom i...

I am so happy that the second anual HMI Stars Awards ball has come and gone. Putting it together was a lot of work but the kids seemed to have had a good time and that made it worth it. The kids shined & the ballroom community was very supportive and that really gave every thing a fantastic energy. The kids received awards for their achievements in Hetrick Martin programming such as world of work, Peer education, and Photography. They also were honored for their ballroom contributions and Stars program participation. The Vogue Fem Time capsule performance I put together came out sooo hot! I was so proud of the kids because they worked their little asses off to get those moves together and to be as on point as possible. Anyone who didn't see it you must get the DVD! The runway show went well and Melvin’s step team lifted everyone’s spirit and was one of the high lights of the night. I also honored those no longer with us due to Violence or AIDS in a slide show of pictures. I re...
