VASHTIE

Last night I was honored by DJ’ing a set for the BUSHMILLS “SINCE WAY BACK” soiree (yes, DJ’ing…but I might call it “playing music” since I’d rather not insult real DJ’s). My look for the evening was “VIVIAN” from PRETTY WOMAN…90’s HOOKER is what I do best.

In honor of Theophilus, his birthday, and starring in the latest BUSHMILLS campaign – we partied hard body! My set was at 10PM, smack dab in the middle of NICK CATCHDUBS (FOOL’S GOLD) and ADAM PAVAO (NEW LOOK). I played a solid 90’s set – some Brandy, Missy, Mary J. Blige, Total and then went into some Folk Implosion, Talking Heads, Arthur Russell, Deee-Lite and then finished with some Super Cat, Chaka Demus & Pliers. At 1030, cupcakes were brought out for the birthday boy and we sang him the birthday song.

Here’s a look at some of the photos from last night thanks to JEN PHAN.

I had a blast and was surrounded by some great friends, supporting as always – thanks to STEPHEN BARR, ELLE, HYUN KIM, JOHN PAUL BELLE, OSCAR, RAUL and JEN PHAN!!! Thanks to BUSHMILLS and the lovely folks at THE FADER for having me and THEOPHILUS for doing what it do!

I peeped some friends while I was DJ’ing, but didn’t get a chance to properly hug and kiss on the cheek…shoutout to them; MISS INFO, DEIRDRE MALONEY, ARMAND VAN HELDEN, TAI/SUPREME, CHRIS ISENBERG & BLUEPRINT CLEANSE CREW, A-TRAK, AMARIS + JAMEL, KING SOLOMON and more!

***Also, apologies to the gentleman who asked for a photo at the moment I was playing the best SOCA song “Dollar Wine”. I was in the zone and told you I’d be right back. I looked for you and you were gone. Next time!!!
