I'M BAAAAACK!!!

I have so much to say-so let's get it started...

First let me say I'm leaving on Thursday for St. Vincent
so I'm gonna have to make this a quick post.
(Saint Vincent are islands between the Caribbean Sea
and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago.
They are apart of the Grenadines-islands in the
British West Indies (BWI).)

Second- I have a lot of pictures but in the interest of time
I will only post some. Anyone who knows the Sangindiva on
a more intimate level will get ALL the juice!

AAAAAND...
The first night I was there I went partyin'.
After a night of Island club hoppin' and non stop shot poppin'
we ( my driver, guide & I ) went to this HOOOOD chicken spot...
It was great drunk folk food-
greeeeeasy chicken and THICK, greeeeeeasy fries...
but WHY did I break my back tooth eating it ???!!!
THAT WAS SOOO UN-FABULOUS!!!
I of course had to wait until I got home to hook it up-
'cause I was NOT going to trust the local island man
all up in my mouth.
BUT- my motto is: Beauty knows no pain!!
So it did NOT stop me from feeling or LOOKING fabulous! hahaha!
so now- I'm typing with a FAT lip... ugh!

o.k.

NASSAU was the BOMB- but it was COLD!!!
I can't believe how cold it was...
needless to say the pool was empty LOL!


I stayed at the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island,
which is really NOT apart of Nassau but because there is a bridge
that connects them- uh... it is.
The hotel is REALLY beautiful! They even have a REAL aquarium in it.
You walk through this tunnel and it's like you're underwater-
Fantastic!! I would show pics but...
it's boring if you weren't there.

So let's get to ME... Shall We?! :)

Here I am in the Ballroom where the festivities took place,
while the folks were setting up.

Here is what the tables looked like


This is significant because RYAN (luv him!!!)
is one of the men behind all of this...
(he throws great parties & knows EVERYONE!!)


Now believe me your girl was busy working the room!
There were sooo many folks up in the place I couldn't get
to them all. The bar of course was fully stocked and...
FREE :) all top shelf quality liquor- just how I like it.
The food was great. There were about 5 or 6 different
food stations with all types of stuff- lobster, shrimp,
prime rib, sushi, caribbean foods etc...

Here I am back stage in the green room with
Cedric (The Entertainer) and his wife Lorna-
who I must say is THE HOMEGIRL!!
We all sat at the same table with BeBe Winans
and somebody else but I forget...
(blame the drinks!)
Cedric also opened the show-
that boy is FUNN-TEE!


Shanice and I were both prayin' and freakin' out on the plane
You should have seen us holdin' hands and callin' da Lawd!
She also sang a song with Michael McDonald for the show.

I normally ain't the "click" type-
but the band said I was being "clicky" because
by the end of the week-
Shanice, Flex, Sally, DeAndre, Gabrielle & I
were "bestist" friends!!
Of course I don't think it's true but WHATEVER!





Chris Tucker told me I was fun-
and said why you ain't takin' pictures with me?!
I was like My bad! CHEESE!

I go my photo with Jada before we hit the dance floor.
I think I must have danced with his Whole crew!!

Mya was looking cute-I wasn't mad at her!

O.K. Yall-
I need to step my sports game WAY up.
I was dancing with Derek Jeeter...
and didn't know it! Tyrell Owens was cheesin'
for everybody's pictures and I didn't even look his way-
'cause I didn't know who he was! HELLO!!
My homegirl from the waaay back DeLeon (Richards) Sheffield
was like "Shannon-my husband is over THERE"...
('cause I didn't know WHO the HECK he was!!!)
I mean- it WAS sponsored by Michael Jordan!!!
Anyway... here we are-



o.k. yall for real I gotta go-
I have a gang of pics and stories that just
can't fit into one post :(
Anyway before I sign off-
I've got to give props to 'DA BAND!!!

Mark (F.O.H.), Andrew (Tech), ME! (Sangindiva), Phil da Pill (Keys),
Gorden (Drums -in front) Mike (bass), Kenya (vocals) Lynn (vocals)
