fanMAIL from BK2ATLMAN (AKOO Brunch Winner)
Loyal reader BK2ATLMAN wrote in to let us know all about his experiences at T.I.’s “A King Of Oneself” Birthday Brunch on Sunday, October 2nd!
Hey Sandra.
I just wanted to thank you again for the tickets. It was a great event. Before I tell all the details, I also wanted to give a shout out to Hannah Kang, who welcomed me and my business partner, made sure we had our table and was just an overall great person. Cute smile too…
She even made sure T.I knew I was the winner and brought him to my table to chop it up a bit. Also it was recorded for his [reality] TV show.
The Good:
The place was beautiful, everything was setup perfect. There was an open Ciroc bar, so that was one of my best friends throughout the day. Can’t believe everyone was getting sauced that early in the day. The food was good, except for some egg seafood thing that just wasn’t the business. The chicken breast was the bomb, but after a couple bites it was done.
More Good:
My table was the bomb, on the left of me I had the A&R from badboy and on the right side of me I had Shawn Holiday from Interscope, who I already knew. I made tons of new connections and might have to cut you a check in the near future.. lol.
The Winner of the AKOO Private Brunch Invite is…

1st dances on DWTS: Nancy Grace, Ron Artest, Rob Kardashian, Chaz Bono (Video)
Last night was the season premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC, featuring the first transgender dancer and TV’s favorite defense attorney.
Following the first round of dances, Nancy Grace, Ron Artest of the LA Lakers, Khloe’s younger brother Rob Kardashian, and transgender Chaz Bono are all tied for dead last in the competition. One of them will go home tonight.
It”s hard to say which one out of the four was the worst dancer. But since they are all novices at it, they deserve kudos for at least stepping up to bat.
Chaz’s introduction was a slap in the face to the supporters who said children wouldn’t know whether she was a male or female.
As the producers flashed a cute pic of her as a little girl, Bono mentioned that she was born a female, and now thinks she’s a man, despite retaining her female productive organs.
Good luck explaining that one to your kids!
Watch the videos of the first dances after the break.
Meet Our Louis Vuitton Handbag Winner, Keysha Willis
Our lucky Louis Vuitton winner, Keysha Willis, stopped by Lenox Square Mall over the weekend to claim her Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM handbag. My apologies to Keysha for the runaround this weekend. We initially told her to meet us at Atlantic Station at 2pm. Then we changed the time to 3 and 4, and finally we called Keysha and asked her to meet us at Lenox where we were doing last minute shopping for Alex Gidewon’s ultra private birthday party tonight.
Keysha was a good sport, and she was so happy when she saw her bag! She said, “Thank you! Oh wow! Oh my God, this bag is thousand dollars? This is really nice! I like Keysha. She deserves this bag because she cares about others and puts others first! Bless you Keysha!
Thank you to Prince Williams of ATLPics.net for the pics!
