ON THE SCENE- QUEEN PEN

Hey guys welcome back, I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Recently I went to a really nice baby shower for Rapper Queen Pen with my good friend Jackie Rowe. Jackie is a mover and shaker in the entertainment industry, who has discovered and orchestrated the success of some of your favorite international super stars. She has been in the industry for over 20 years and is the founder of one of the leading management firms, Jacqueline Rowe & Associates. For those who are not familiar with Queen Pen, she is a Brooklyn based Rapper/Author who in the late 90's had chart topping hits with Blackstreet. Queen Pen was signed to Teddy Riley's label Lil Man Records. Her album My Melody went gold, she toured with New Edition and Blackstreet on the "Home Again Tour". She then went on to Motown Records and released her second album "Conversation With the Queen",which did well.Beyond being a rapper she is now a very successful author signed to Simon & Schuster, her two novels Situations and Blossom have sold more than 70,000 copies, combined. With that said she was a real sweetheart and the shower was lots of fun. It was not like your traditional showers because she had the baby before the shower, so every one was up and dancing. The venue was really nice, it was a denim themed lounge. Here are some pics from the shower so enjoy and post a comment.

ON THE SCENE- 50 CENT FIVE BOROUGH TOUR

Hey guys welcome back. So 50 Cent is doing it up in NYC with his Five Borough tour, he is doing a show in every borough in New York City. Because I love you guys so much I decided that I had to make it out to one of his venues and get the scoop. I went to the venue that I thought would be the safest,The Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan. The show started about two hours late, but it was worth it for the real 50 Cent fans. It the past I used to dress most of the artists , so I would be backstage or in someones dressing room while there were on stage and miss the whole show. But now I am so over that I want to be front row rocking out with the artists. When I was younger I used to think damn I wish I was old enough to go out to the shows, so now I take advantage of concerts. I mean I never saw 2 Pac or BIG in concert or even Kris Cross damn it ...lol. 50 did the whole show with Lloyd Banks and Toney Yayo, the were fun to watch. In the middle of the show he bought out Jim Jones and Jewelz Santana , they killed with BALLLLIN..LL Cool J was in the audience and a friend of mine backstage said he even saw Ciara. Well enjoy the pics and post a comment.

FASHION-PEOPLE MAGAZINE SHOW

Hey guys welcome back, it is such a beautiful day outside. I can't wait to get out there and take it all in. I have been hearing alot of buzz about People Magazines Best and Worst dressed list. From what I hear, Beyonce toped the list, yeah for one for B...lol. Just incase you don't know who the other person in the battle is, it is Rihanna..lol. And Rihanna scored a point in my book with her MTV VMA dress. Well, enough I will leave the gossip to the other blog sites. I went to a fashion show that was thrown by People magazine to celebrate the launch of thier Best and Worst Dressed List. The show was really nice there were four hot models and they wore the looks that will be all the rave this fall. The concept of the show was to showcase pieces that will keep you off of The Worst Dressed List. There was a celebrity stylist hosting the show, but the real behind the scenes guy was Image Consultant and Fashion Stylist, Carlton Spence. He was really nice and his assistant Cathy is also really cool. They showcased a lot of looks that I can definately see myself in.
Here are some pics from the show enjoy and tell me what you think about the looks. The host said that some of the looks were inspired by Rihanna and Katie Holmes.

MUSIC-KANYE VS. 50 CENT

Hey everyone welcome back, so the big question is , who did you buy Kanye or 50? Well as we all know Kanye West and 50 Cent are trying to outsell each other opening week. After hearing all of the buzz about this challenge MochaMoves decided to get in on all of the action. I went out to the record store to see if there were any lines or if the albums were sold out. Since we always do it big here at MochaMoves, we checked out one of the largest records stores in the world, Virgin Mega Store in Times Square. To my surprise there were no lines and their CD's were not sold out. I went along with one of my correspondents, and she was actually purchasing a CD herself. She decided to go with Kanye West, 1 for Kanye..lol. So far I have been hearing that Kanye is actually out selling 50 Cent buy over a hundred thousand records. But over here at MochaMoves I only care about the facts so I will wait and see. An interesting thing I learned about Virgin Record store is they don't allow kid under 18 in the store before three on weekdays with out a parent, which is cool. Ok that's it for now, post a comment and tell me if you made the right choice...



The final decision



Thanks for checking me out ..post you comments...an entry for 50Cent 5 borough concert coming soon!!!

FASHION- SHOW

Hey guys welcome back. So this week has been really exciting for Hip Hop with the 50 Cent and Kanye West albums dropping. It has also been a big week for the fashion world as well,and tell you the truth I don't know what to write about first...Ok I have made up my mind I will write about Fashion first. Recently I went to a Fashion Show at Gotham Hall in NYC with a few friends. We went to support one of the models and I also went to see whats next in fashion. It was not your traditional fashion show, it had a lot of flavor. The models were supper sexy, and they were not afraid to show it, actually a girl from the first season of BET's College Hill was in it. I wish I remembered her name, but I don't , she was a tom boy on the show maybe you will recognize her from my pics. She also had some Janet Jackson action with one of her outfits , but it did not seem to faze her at all...lol.I should have taken some names so I can tell you a full list of the designers , but I was too busy being entertained by the clothing..lol. Well here goes what I can remember . There was a line called Nobody Clothing, it consist of tanks and loungewear. Then there was The House of Hot CoCo,that line was crazy, it consists of alot of stripper outfits. Don't get me wrong the pieces were nice but that was the only way to describe them, and you will see what I mean in the pictures.lol. Oh and I can't forget the African clothing line , the designs were original and the designers came straight from Africa. Well enjoy the pics and post comments..
