april 28th, 2009…my friends and family came to celebrate my birthday at santos! music by JUS SKE, Q TIP, CIPHA SOUNDS, IRON LYON and JASMINE SOLANO.

friends like KID CUDI, PLAIN PAT, AMANDA DIVA, and more were in attendance! it was a blast…

JOHNNY NUNEZ/ WIRE IMAGE and MEL D COLE of VILLAGE SLUM and a ton more photographers were there to capture the moment…

weeks before, i came up with an idea for a dress that was executed with the help of my designer friend SHANNON STOKES. i had no idea how great it would really look…

my one super big request for the party…

a birthday cake, made to look like my JORDAN 3’s. yes, you heard me. someone suggested a cake of my face, which sounded plain bizarre. i though “why not my 3’s”, i love them and would like to eat them!

it was HOT and SWEATY madness in there, but here’s how it went!

*KENT, ANGELO and me.

*ELLE.

*my fellow TRINI, FERRIS BUELLER brought me some polouri in a greasy brown paper bag – that is love!
