Overview

Soo, everything went fairly well last week. Pridefest was tons of fun and of course extremely interesting. As previously stated on a Facebook post, some of the gay men had better runway struts than me!! Lessons please? And the compliment, so very nice. My models did rock! Well, most of the them, and the weather was decent. Moving along, to the Trina afterparty at Alahambra Palace. It was a very nice turnout. We arrived around 11:30pm and got right to work starting with a filmed intro outide of the club/restaurant. Channel T.E.N and BPTV (http://www.youbepictured.com/) were definitely greeted with open arms and given lots of love. The opening acts were not too shabby. There were performances by Charm, Hot2Def, 4am, Kenyon Martin, Lee England Jr (http://www.leeenglandjr.com/) and Nikki Lynette. This event was hosted by chicago comedian Leon Rogers and Mustafa Rocks and Sean Mac were the DJ delight. And of course Trina herself (http://www.trinafan.com/) represented. She was glamorous in all silver with a matching blinged out microphone and donned a rockstar long ponytail. The crowd was already hyped by the wonderful opening acts and were ready with camera phones in hand for the baddest chick to grace the stage. Trina did a little bit of her new stuff from her senior album "Amazing" and of course took us back to some of her old hits. The event was pretty good and I had the pleasure of interviewing Chicago Larry, Montez with Tez Management, E-Dub with Streetfame Entertainment (http://www.myspace.comiseve30/, and hip hop violinist Lee England Jr. Footage will be available shortly at http://www.youbepictured.com/. Unfortunately, due to a delay in the start of the performances I was unable to catch up with the baddest chick herself, but we definitely will be bumping heads in the future. Whats next on Ms. Erica Nicole's calender? Well, this week its Country Fest and next week possibly Tierra Mari concert/afterparty and all white party with Chicago Scene. Oh, I almost forgot, Trey Songz 07/01/10 at the Taste of Chicago. Still working on getting that interview. More to come..

And the Saga continues...

Let's see where I left off.. Oh yea, left town this weekend for a booking in Milwaukee at Pridefest. Muy interesante! To say the least. I had a blast. I managed a great group of models and I received glorious compliments from gay men and was hit on a few times by a few gay women. It was definitely memorable. But I am sad I missed the blues festival in Chicago. Well, kinda, it was rainy and probably wasn't much fun but I love live music. Now back to business. This week is my big move. I'm finally giving up my townhouse and temporarily moving into a unit in a property I own. Whew! It is a lot of work and I need a lot of help but I should be fine. Other updates include the "Who Wants to Date Erica Nicole" tapings coming up and I finally released a little intro to a documentary I'm filming called "Butt America". Check it out www.youtube.com/theericanicole. Yes, "butt" spelled with two t's so you can only imagine what the content is about :-) I promise you will love it!

Up for this week, mmm, let's see, there's Trina (rapper) album release party http://www.trinatickets.com/ tomorrow night at Chicago hotspot Alahambra palace and a small booking downtown Chicago this weekend. Hopefully everything goes well and I get a chance to interview the baddest chick along with the some of the other opening acts including hip hop violinist Lee England Jr. http://www.leeenglandjr.com/. I will be working in conjunction with http://www.youbepictured.com/ for channel T.E.N After this week, its just gonna get crazy folks. My new business cards finally made they're way to me and my website should be launching any day now. I'm sooo excited. Oh yea, just in, ya girl may be at the B.E.T awards. This is not confirmed but I should know something soon. I will be out of town crazy for the next 6 weeks and who knows after that. Despite that, I still have to make the time to tend to my other networking tools like facebook. I have like 300 friend requests waiting??!! What is going on? Is this called "Facebook Famous". Wow! LOL Well definitely stay tuned because I'm sure I'm going to have a lot to say about this possibly stressful weekend and add some fun photos. Where the Lakers fans?!!! Peace..

Summer Madness

It's mid year already??! Really? I am going full throttle right about now. I honestly don't know how I do it sometimes. Let's see, through the grace of God, I still have my 9-5pm with Corporate America and manage to work my modeling and all that other extra stuff full time too. I swear that I know its supposed to be 24hrs in a day, but I think I got snuck a few extra hours. It's not even possible to fit everything I do in otherwise. Well, this week is going to be pretty busy. I'm midway through the work week and I already feel a panic attack coming on thinking about how the heck I'm going to make it through the week! Let's see, on the menu this week.. Pick up tickets for Trina's album release party next thursday, meet up with some prospective clients wednesday night, and head out for an out of town booking I'm managing.. And much more, I just don't feel like typing it all. I'm supposed to start taping for the "Who wants to Date Erica Nicole" this week but it may be postponed again. I need to get things together for my website so it can be live really soon and start my radio show. Soo much to do so little time.. Not even gonna mention men this post. Maybe next week folks :-)
