Friday April 27, 2012, I had a great time with great people for a great cause in New York City at the Taj II Lounge. We all came together and celebrated with legendary hip-hop artist Kangol Kid from UTFO and the Mama Luke Foundation (In Loving Memory of Gay Frances Lucas) for being honored by the American Cancer Society next month for their hip-hop fight against breast cancer. My friend Shauna joined me on this adventure.
Even to the nail design. I incorporated the breast cancer awareness pink ribbons.

People were getting down.

Sunday April 15th, I performed at a birthday party for twins, Vonetta and Volanda. I was told beforehand that they were huge young Michael Jackson fans, so I was super excited to appear for them. I was also told that they wanted their uncle, who put the party together, that they wanted him to bring Michael back from the dead. He was looking for someone that looked and danced like Michael. I was so happy to fulfill that position. When I walked down the stairs, "Thriller" played, which was a perfect song because I definitely scared them. The children thought I was really Michael resurrected. They began to scream and two began to cry. I felt so bad when they cried, because for a while they didn't come near me. Once I began to dance, they warmed up to me and danced along. I had a great time and they all loved me. So glad it turned out for the best.
Saturday April 14th, I had a chance to make an appearance at Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ for the Grand Re-opening. I was there also assisting my friend Marcus, who is the owner and manager of Cakes by Marcus Bakery, during his bake sale there. I really enjoyed myself that day. I walked around and shook hands with people and took photos. I even was grabbed and pulled on stage to Salsa dance with the band performing. I also had an opportunity to dance with the children there showing them "Thriller" and "Beat It" and everyone just enjoyed me. There was also a cool photographer there, Andrea Dansby of L.I.T Models, who took photos of me. She also captured me paddle boating with her grandson in a swan shaped boat. I will post her photos in a separate post. I can't wait to meet up with her again. I met so many cool people even a baby owl and I took a photo with her as well. I just had a blast that day. Here are a few photos.

March 30, 2012, the day after my birthday, I had the chance to dance again. This time it was before a very creative and poetic audience. The show was called "MORE THAN HIS RIB PART 2" LIVE AT THE P.O.A.R. SESSIONS at The Tea Bar in Union, NJ. It featured female spoken word artists, poets, and singers. I was the featured female dancer as Mikette. I debuted my military jacket I created myself from a thrift black blazer and some trimming. I brought a new hat, a new gold glove and a new pair of tented shades. I was so happy also to perform in my new arm brace that completed my Panther Michael look.
There were very interesting poetry and spoken word pieces. Some spoke of women empowerment, some spoke of love and other spoke of encouragement. I felt honored to be a part of a moving show. I can feel the creative edge and movement being done. Thanks to Unin Vited and IMOO Entertainment for having me as Mikette be a part of an amazing show honoring Women's History Month! Big ups to all the talented and positive people I was in the presence of tonight. Much ♥! Thanks to my mother and sister for your continuous love and support! Thank you to Barry Gray of Location Photography for showing support and taking such great photography.
