there were SOOOO many ice cream stains on the ground as I was walking to the train station from the mall yesterday. When I got by the train station, I figured it out. There were 2 M&M trucks parked right outside the train station with ice cream people handing out free bars along with coupons for M&M's new ice cream.
Imagine this. The ice cream is JUST like an M&M except instead of the inside being milk chocolatey goodness, it's vanilla ice cream. There are 2 layers of chocolate just like in a regular M&M and the colored shell is hard. The ice cream as a whole isn't so bad but the shell is so hard that the ice cream inside wasn't completely frozen. Almost as soon as I took my first bite, the whole thing fell apart.
Dwight and Nic for getting me into the Nas concert and album release party on Tuesday night AND for putting together that package for me. I had a GREAT time! It is nice to get real VIP treatment every once in a while.
For more pics from the event, look below.
I'm sure you guys have heard about Nas' deal with Fila (in case you haven't, click here). There were Fila Girls outside of Blender collecting e-mail ocntacts for some raffle (which probably doesn't even exist). The tables in the VIP area were covered with Fila t-shirt and wristband towers. 
They had something like this at The Stanton Social but I'm not a fan of avocado or cheese (whatever's on top of that bread could be either or neither).
The BEST thing there!
Nic and Rik Cordero of Three/21media.com. This one isn't blurry Rik! Also in attendance was Fabolous, Mister Cee, Minya aka Miss Info, DJ Enuff, Amanda Diva, Polow Da Don, Kerry Hilson, and of course Kelis. There were a few others that I'm positive slipped by me.
New Def Jam recording artist UNIQUE! I have so much respect for this kid. If you don't already know who he is, you need to find out. Dude definitely has a following. 
And here's Dwight trying his hardest not to look exhausted. He was putting in work that night for sure. As soon as I get a chance, I'll update this post and upload all of my pics from the evening to my PhotoBucket account so you guys can see everything.
meet up with Nic for dinner the other day before the Nas concert (post to come). We went to what I am going to call "our spot", The New York Burger Co. We used to go here for lunch on school days. The food is really good and it's not SO expensive. It's more than McDonald's prices but it taste WAY better!
The New York Burger Co.
303 Park Ave South
btwn 23rd and 24th Street
New York, NY
You guys should know by now how hungry I get so the fact that I forgot to take pics BEFORE I started eating (again) should come as no surprise. What you missed was a picture of the "New York Burger" I ordered with three THICK slices of applewood smoked bacon, fries, and a bottle of water. Their fries don't excite me at all but I can't really eat a burger without fries so I got them anyway.
You suck for turning 21 before the rest of us but I still love you
We went to eat at Sake Sushi on Queens Blvd for lunch. I normally don't play around when it comes to (what has recently proven to be) the most important meal of the day, so naturally, I started eating before I even remembered I was supposed to take pictures of my food. I would never steer you guys wrong so I'm just going to recommend the restaurant anyway. I had the miso soup, terriyaki salmon with vegetables and white rice, and red bean ice cream. I enjoyed ALL of it! Check it out!

95-34 Queens Blvd

Rego Park, Queens
I'm almost a week late with this (as I always am with birthday shout outs) but I don't think she'll mind. I went out with Clarisa and about 14 of her closest friends (WOW) to The Stanton Social. 
The food was GREAT!!! I would love to go back again. To see what we had, look below.
The Stanton Social
99 Stanton Street
btwn Orchard and Ludlow
New York, NY
I have no idea what the "real" name of this is because it was complimentary and wasn't listed on our pre-selected menu, but it's basically pizza. It came close to surpassing my preference for Two Boots pizza (which I think is THE BEST pizza in New York).
This was "Sweet and Sour Chicken and Cashew Spring Rolls". The best spring rolls I've ever had!
Pictured are their "Red Snapper Tacos" with "creamy avocado and spicy mango". It tasted really fresh like they grew the vegetables in the backyard or something. 
"Grilled apple and brie Quesadilla - mustard-maple glaze and smoked 'bacon bits'"
This was my favorite for the night. The grilled apple made it really sweet the same way plantains does for the Cuban Quesadillas from Mojito in Brooklyn. 
"Meatballs - herbed ricotta crepe manicotti and plum tomato sauce"
This wasn't the greatest but Raeana chowed down on the manicotti since she's on a no meat diet.
"Herb dusted Frites" (french fries) and "Marinated Hanger Steak"
The french fries were really good. The hanger steak confused me. There was a mini onion ring on top, which was fine, but underneath, there was a potato ball. I'm sure it would have been really good but I didn't know it was a potato. I thought it was a fish ball so when I put it in my mouth, I got confused and didn't really enjoy it. The steak on the very bottom was really tender. Definite recommendation for their steak.
Try out The Stanton Social and tell me how you guys like it. HAPPY EATING!!
I'm slacking. Sorry guys but in hopes of making my life a little more fun this summer and gearing up to turn AssataSAYS.com around, I've been keeping very busy. Again, I'm sorry and hopefully I'll get a day of rest when I can update you on past events.

Raeana to the blogosphere!
Those of you who know The Socialites personally (or are just FB/MySpace friends) know that Raeana is on her way to Paris, France for the fall semester. Yup... sister girl is moving on up in the world and is seriously going to take the fashion world by storm. She will be documenting her stay in foreign lands this fall on her new blog entitled From Brooklyn to Paris.
Here are a few of her drawings she put on her new blog. 
Since I'm at work right now, I don't have access to my prom pics but Raeana also designed my prom dress for Fashion's 2006 prom as well as Ashley's dress for Bishop Loughlin's 2006 prom.

You don't want to miss this event. Remember last year?
to not watching BET and MTV and VH1 is that it takes me forever to find songs that get played on the regular. I heard this song all of 7 times (maybe) in the last 6 months and I could NOT figure out who was singing or rapping on this song. I LOVE IT! and I'm glad I found it!
