Dane Hartsell, Fefe Dobson & Cee-Lo All In One Night!!!

Last night was epic... so much so I am still recovering as we speak. Our tour across the city started last night at Mod Club on College Street, where my good friend Krystal invited me out to the CD release for Fefe Dobson, and to see the opening singer Dane Hartsell. All dressed up and camera in hand, it's time to get out and cover this amazing event.

Upon arrival we are greeted, stamped and let in (by we I mean my good friend and fellow blogger Carrie Stephens and myself). Before I could start taking any pictures, I had to find Krystal to say hello, and thank for inviting us out!

With our attentions now turning to the stage, Dane and his all girl band came out to start their set. The music was totally dance worthy as the rock vibe began to fill the the club. You could see everyone in the audience totally caught up in their energy.

And if you're a rock music lover like I am, one thing is almost always certain; rock star quality, guitars, vocal talent and the cutest bum's in the world are almost a requirement before any male can hit the spotlight. And well, congrats to Dane for possessing all of those qualities. I look forward to your next showcase!

As Dane closes out his show, the club then starts setting up for our headliner, one Ms Fefe Dobson, as she is celebrating the launch of her new cd entitled "Joy" which I picked up a copy of at the venue. So excited to check out what Fefe has in store on the newly out today CD.



The moment Fefe hit the stage, the crown went insane, totally looking hot in a pair of Eel skin black leggins with ankle zipper detail, a studded black cami and pair of kick ass black leather wedges. She looked smokin hot!!!!

Fefe ended up doing a full set, with a mix of new tracks from her new album and some well know classics from previous albums, which totally pleased her fans that came out to see her show last night.

This being the first time I saw her live in concert, I was super impressed with her stage prescence, her unbelievable voice and her obvious love for what she does, you couldn't help but fall in love with her. My favorite part is when she busted out the acoustic guitar and sang "Joy" her title song of Fefe's new cd.

Now leaving Mod Club, and on the way home to change in to my second outfit of the night, and to crack open a bottle of wine with my good friends Carrie Stephens and Sasha Simler (Sasha btw, is a brilliant make up artist) before we head to the Cee-Lo private party at Prive in Yorkville, with the one and only Tika Simone.

As we get to the door, the cute bouncer guy Silvio was there to greet us. As we walked up to him, he said sorry guys its gonna be a few minutes before I can let you in, as the club was already at capacity, as he eyed to us the cops just a few steps away were watching the place. Silvio then asked, by the way this is a private event... to which I followed up with "Fuck You" (just so you all know, this was the actual password we needed to get in to the party last night) laughingly Silvio said, "Wow, your a natural with delivering that phrase" to which I said, its not the first time I've had to use it, but definitely a first time I had to use it as a way in to a place in high end Yorkville.

Making our way to the bar, to fill our empty hands with liquid libations before we do a circle around the club to find our friends in the crowd. Almost as soon as we turned around with our drinks we bumped right into Tika. This girl is way cool and just too much fun to be around. Anywhere she says there is something to be seen or to go to... I am a yes always! Its good to prepare yourself for the long haul, as these parties carry on until the wee hours of the A.M.

Not moments later do we see Fefe Dobson, Shane West and Tika Simone hanging out in the back area of the place, followed up by the man of the night Cee-Lo himself comes in. Everyone is super pumped as this talented powerhouse takes to his booth just inches from the Dj booth while Dj Lisa Monet is spinning some sick beats.

Reaching my limit of cocktails for the night and before my hot mess status became apparent, I made my way around the room to say goodnight to all my friends before hailing a taxi home.

Now safely home, I filled up my glass of water several times before finally making my way to bed. Good night all!!

Much love <3
