March 25 - March 27, 2011

So about this weekend... I believe I have a photo shoot. My new found friend and future business associate Danielle Banks (manager and PR for rapper Fillmore Rich) has started a cosmetics line called I AM ME Beauty. She wants me to shoot with her! I'm flattered.

Saturday I don't have much up besides a session with my new personal trainer, Lisa Doright, owner of Better Body Today. I've gotta get right for my summer trips to Miami and wherever else I decide to go.

Also on Saturday, I did hear about a gala at the DeYoung... I'd love to go! But I'd want company... Details below:

Balenciaga and Spain

An ArtPoint Gala
Saturday, March 26, 2011

Fashion icon. Celebrated designer. Acclaimed visionary.

Celebrate the glamour and elegance of Balenciaga, alongside San Francisco’s fashion elite, as ArtPoint hosts an exhibition viewing and black-tie gala at the de Young. Say si! and indulge in decadent Spanish-influenced cocktails and hors d´oeuvres, while you dance the night away to DJ Shissla. We’ll bring together the allure and legacy of one of fashion’s most renowned designers with an evening befitting his distinguished career, making this an occasion not to be missed.

VIP guests will enjoy a pre-party with private exhibition tours and all-night access to an exclusive lounge serving heavy appetizers and Segura Viudas Brut Reserva.

Balenciaga and Spain examines the profound and enduring influence of Spain on the work of haute couture master Cristóbal Balenciaga. The impact of Spanish culture, history, and traditions is explored through the recurring themes in Balenciaga’s oeuvre, organized in the exhibition into six sections: Spanish Art, Regional Dress, the Spanish Court, Religious Life and Ceremony, the Bullfight, and Dance. Hamish Bowles, European editor at large for Vogue, serves as guest curator.
